8 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Stamford

“I stopped by Caribbean Bakery & Mini Mart for dinner and went straight for their oxtail with rice & peas and veggies. The plate was huge, and you could smell the seasoning before it even hit the table. The oxtail was flavorful, tender, and coated in a rich sauce that really pulled the dish together. The rice was fluffy, the peas earthy, and everything had that authentic homemade Caribbean taste.

If I had one wish, it would be for the oxtail pieces to be a little meatier — because the flavor had me wanting more. Portion-wise though, they don’t skimp, and everything tasted fresh.

Service was straightforward, the spot has that local charm, and it’s definitely worth checking out if you’re craving real Caribbean flavor in the area. One heads-up: parking can be tough, especially earlier in the day, so plan ahead.

I’ll be back!“

“I can’t get enough of their curry chicken! It is delicious and not to mention the oxtail wow. Great customer service overall. I was greeted with so much warmth from Jodi. Blessings sunshine cuisine!“

“The woman behind the counter was unbelievably kind and patient. She was helpful to my wife and myself when she was admitted from the hospital and was feeling scared and acting erratically. Unlike what most people in store that size would’ve done she was patient and offered assistance by letting us use the phone to call for a ride and wait inside as a stalker looking for trouble was pacing out front, trailing us. I know that’s a whole lot of drama in one sentence, but the point is this woman showed kindness that I don’t see very often these days and her food was absolutely incredible. I think her location being right next to the hospitalmakes her hard to miss but her food makes you happy you did not miss this spot. Top 10 places to eat, and Stamford for sure in its category being bodegas highly recommended.“

“Food is 1000000/10. Our family (some vegan, gf, and no restrictions) each loved our dishes. The rasta pasta was easily the best I've ever had, and the favorite for all of us. The vegan beef and spring platters were perfection (flavor was insane). The ingredients were clearly fresh, and each dish was made to order, as we could see while waiting. I will say it was a long wait (~45 minutes), so order further ahead if you are doing take-out. However, it is very worth it for dishes made fresh with great ingredients. Highly, highly recommend Ethno to everyone! And thank you to the wonderful chef and owner who is doing an incredible job :)“
