50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Aventura

“On holiday from London, UK and exploring downtown Miami, I stumbled upon JRK on Biscayne – and I’m so glad I did! I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, which comes with three veg sides. I went for steamed cabbage, broccoli and plantain, with jerk BBQ sauce, plus a beef patty to start. Honestly, it’s the best I’ve tasted in a long time – authentic, packed with flavour, and cooked to perfection. The staff were friendly and helpful, making the whole experience even better. If you’re in town, you have to stop by. You won’t be disappointed! I ate it too quick to take photos, sorry - next time :)“

“Great service. Ordered curry chicken roti and a side of pumpkin. Curry is flavorful and not salty. The roti is delicious. soft with nice texture.“

“Mannn!!! I had Jenny’s Spaghetti with smoke herring (spaghetti avec aranso). All I can say she always comes through, made to my liking😋 If you haven’t taste Jenny’s Caribbean Bistro, you are definitely missing out. Always a great experience dining there.“

“flavor and presentation. taste buds were going crazy. I can't wait to go back and try a different dish“

“Food is truly like authentic home cooked Haitian food that is made to order and they have DJon DJon rice which is my favorite! If you haven’t tried clean Haitian food with good customer service and environment you should definitely try Greg’s cookout!“

“My husband and I eat at this Haitian restaurant whenever we’re in town visiting family, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh, well-seasoned, and full of real Haitian flavor. From the fried turkey to the rice and beans and the sides, you can tell everything is cooked with care and love, not just thrown together.

What really keeps us coming back is the way they treat us. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and respectful. They make sure we’re comfortable, check on us, and treat us like regulars every single time, even when it’s busy. The service matches the quality of the food, excellent.

The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and feels like a true Haitian home, with good vibes, good music, and good people.

Whenever we’re in town, this is our go-to spot. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food with great service, I highly recommend this place.“

“It was my first time eating at Golden Krust today Sept 9th, Lecia and Patricia made sure of making me feel welcomed and well fed. 10/10 Lunch meal (brown stew chicken) to continue the day strong! Will definitely become a repeat customer from now and can't wait to try other items on the menu!“

“Best doubles i’ve EVER! had. Thanks Kathy.“

“simply delicious with fast friendly service“

“The food is terrible and a complete rip-off—definitely poor quality. Anyone giving this place 4 stars is either intoxicated or has never tasted good food. The Lo Mein is mushy, tasteless, and made me want to throw up. The fried rice is soggy, overly salty, and has no flavor. Absolutely disgusting.“

“So living farrrr away in Seattle you know I just couldn't wait to get here. The Rice Pudding (Black pudding) is what I was craving for. And as usual, they did not disappoint! Also, while there, I heard this lady ordering saltfish with bread. Say What??!! A saltfish sandwich on butter bread?! Happy wasn't even the emotion I was feeling. Everything I've had from here has been tasty. The prices are also reasonable ?“

“Excellent food, service and portion sizes!!!“

“What a wonderful clean and friendly place to come when I’m in town! I asked the cashier can I try a sample of the rice and beans and the djion djion rice and the owner brought it out from the back and both of them were absolutely delicious! She even let me know that I can do half-and-half if I would like. I definitely recommend this place for all your Haitian food needs! I would definitely give them a 10 stars if I could!!“

“warm hugs🤗🤗🤗🤗 trini for Life pholorie n hott sauce hott mouth too“

“A bit of a wait but the food was fresh and flavorful.“

“had the chance to try Ross Bahamian Conch Shack at a recent health fair, and they definitely delivered on flavor. Here's what stood out:
Wings & Fries:
The wings had a solid Southern-style base with a Caribbean flavor twist — well-seasoned, juicy, and crispy without being greasy. The fries were golden and crisp, a perfect side that held up well even outside a traditional restaurant setting.
Conch Salad:
I also tried the conch salad, and it was fresh and tasty with a good mix of citrus and texture. The only thing it needed was a bit more spice or heat to really bring it to life — a dash of pepper or hot sauce would’ve taken it to the next level.“

“Favorite Haitian restaurant! Best snapper in town .
I love the rice , sometimes I just get the rice cuz it’s that’s good . Good portions , they have a pool table in the patio and play the Heat game while u wait for the food . The owner is nice and never forgets your order . Hidden gem“

A good spot to visit, the service was good and the staff are very friendly. The place was very clean. Though i went for a birthday party. There was a gentleman offering chicken soup. My experience was great... Awesome spot to stop by“

“Absolutely incredible!!!!
how can they afford this.,
The food is cooked fresh and put out there and you have a menu selection of different Rices and meats and vegetables a plate that's less than $6 I don't know how they do it... And it taste great... You will get a choice of rice a meat and a side of vegetable and a drink for less than $6..... And large portions BTW...
Typically when I order there I can split my plate for noon and afternoon meals... Again.... This is $6!!!!!!“

“If you’re from NY and want good food out here this is the place you wanna be at. The food was cooked to order, tasted absolutely outstanding. The woman behind the counter Darcel, was great for recommending if you’re indecisive.. can’t wait to come back before I leave to go back home“

“super dope spot, very good food. if you are wondering, the dishes aren't so much fusions of Caribbean and Chinese, but rather half of the menu is Caribben and half Chinese. and it's the same chefs so there's ofc some cross pollination there but just to mention that since I was curious myself before I first came. really great service, good prices, def recommend coming here“

“I gave atmosphere a 1 start because I have never been in the inside of the restaurant. I have ate the food herea few times and every time they don't miss. This food is just too damn good. Always fresh and seasoned and just good Jamaican food ....synthetic and fresh daily.“

“What a great place! Filled with love and good food. A Christian family owned business. Great food. Delicious house made cake slices. Vanilla rum cake was incredible, but need to come back for the carrot and velvet cake. Delicious and nutritious fresh juices-ginger mango and soursop. This place is good for the belly and even better, food for the soul. Delfena has great testimonies to share. About God's goodness and faithfulness!“

“Delicious. We visited from GA. We got the oxtail and curry goat dinner with a side of Mac & cheese.“

“Oxtail!!!“
