49 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Coconut Creek

“My experience has been excellent in this place. I came one day with my mother and we tried one of their coffees, and the person who served us (Valentina) gave us good service, she is very attentive and was very kind to us. The truth is one of the best people to serve that restaurant.“

“Nice and friendly staff, food is GREATTT!! But patty according to the kids ain't good., ya'll need some REAL JAMAICAN PATTIES.. but I love the soup and the food., the place is also cleaaannn and I really love the entertainment #KeepItUp“

“The service is freaking incredible and the food is out of this world. Most jamacian restaurants are drab and depressing with employees who are angry and aloof. Not this place. The service was engaging, friendly and accommodating. The food was even better. We ordered the oxtail x2, the goat, fried chicken, curry chicken and brown stew. All were muuuuuuuccccchhhh better than the usual S. FLORIDA suspects. Well worth the hour drive. BTW- get her homemade drinks. They are so great.“

“Everyone enjoyed the meal but me. I was looking forward to this lentil soup but it was too spicy to enjoy. The delivery was more than an hour late and it didn’t help with the atmosphere at the table, everyone was hungry and gobbled down the food. It was very expensive and overpriced , not suitable for group parties.“

“My old coworkers always raved about this place so 15 years later I finally got a chance to visit. We were a party of 6 on Presidents' Day for lunch. The place is located in a strip mall facing Cypress Road. It's on the smallish side. The hostess had us wait about 15 minutes while our table was prepared. There are some chairs out front for this purpose. My daughter and I split the fish and chips. My dad ordered the fish roti. Judging by his longing gaze at my fish and chips, I quickly traded with him. The fish was bland but the roti with the curry base and bits of soft potatoes was very filling and tasty! My teenage son ordered the cheese burger and fries and wolfed it down with a root beer. There is a bar with a variety of domestic and imported draft beers on tap. My mom ordered a pint of Bud Light but it was too much for her to finish. The highlight of the menu (IMHO) is the homemade desserts. We all split a caramel cheesecake, a flan and a double coconut pie. Delicious! Our server was a college-age young man who is service oriented and friendly. Two thumbs up! BUT... If you are in a hurry to get a quick bite to eat this is definitely not the place. We were seated for 2 hours. If you have the time and the money, Calypso is an authentic old Florida establishment that is well worth the visit.“

“12/30/23 8:30pm We arrived after the peek dinner rush and were able to get right in. Our Waiter was great. Clam Chowder and Appetizers were Great with generous portions. We had Octopus and bacon wrapper scallops. Great Garlic bread. Main entrees were spot on and again generous portions. We had Jambalaya and the lobster pasta. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. Had Key lime pie for dessert and that completed a great dinner. Prices were very reasonable and the serving time was perfect with no delays between courses. Definetly worth the drive from the beach resort (14 mins) easy parking. Casual Fun atmosphere. Its a Keeper!“

“Superb service. Very friendly and helpful staff helped us figure out what to order and explained the dishes and combinations. All of the food was delicious. Suggest you order ahead of time since it does take quite a while for the food to be cooked, but that's good since it means the food is so fresh and cooked to order.“

“I really do love Donnas restaurant because the food is simply delicious. The restaurant offers a wide variety of food that will tickle your tastebuds the moment you enter, and have you coming back for more.... And how can I forget the staff. They are simple courteous people who are always willing to serve. If you really want some great Caribbean food with great service....Donnas is the place I recommend. I eat at University drive, N State Road 7, 12th.Street, and Coral Springs...Please don't judge me. I cook in my own kitchen...but Donnas is my favorite eat out option for all the good reasons I've suggested.“

“We came here for some good Jamaican food and Reggae Roots did not disappoint. The restaurant was nice and clean and the service was out of this world. The biggest thing to me that stood out was the service my husband and I was treated as family not just vacationers. We really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and I especially loved the conversation very attentive to their customers. 10 out of 10 for me we will definitely be back when we are in the area. Oh and the food was fresh and hot. Beef patties and cocoa bread and oxtail plate on point full flavor.“

“I haven't had food from Golden Krust in a long time. There was a quiet ambiance at the Oakland Park location as I entered. With adequate table seating, this location offered: * a variety of fresh patties/pastries/bread & buns * breakfast dishes/combo meals * pasta/soups/sides * cold beverages * lunch specials I was greeted by a female employee who dished out my order of brown stew chicken into a carry out container. It was served with rice & peas, steamed vegetables, and fried plantains. She also added enough sauce to the rice. The food looked delicious and tasted good as well. The chicken was nicely browned and was tender. The rice & peas was cooked to a soft consistency and had a peppery kick. The veggies was tender and flavorful, while the plantains was sweet. Gotta make time to visit Golden Krust more often to try their other dishes.“

“I felt transported to Trinidad from the moment I stepped foot into the restaurant. I happened to visit on a very crowded Saturday afternoon and was in a rush, so I couldn’t wait for the kitchen to make roti, but I had the chance to try the doubles. These were perfectly made and come two to an order. Thankfully, I was splitting the meal because one double is plenty. I opted for everything on top and slight pepper - that came out perfectly. For an entree, I shared the curry goat and rice (the kitchen was out of roti at the time) with dal. The curry goat was piping hot, tender, and seasoned well. We happened to nab a table just as some folks were leaving. It was so nice to see a wide variety of people at the restaurant. I am already looking forward to my next visit!“

“My favorite Lauderdale by the Sea restaurant. Visited twice over a weekend and wasn't disappointed either time. Their Jumbo shrimp is one of my favorite even though they are smaller than just a few years ago, but still some of the best I've had. Don't leave without a slice of Key Lime Pie, to die for!“

“Today was my first time, I ordered a Jerk chicken meal, since I moved to Florida I have tasted so many Jerk chicken, this is the first place who knows and kept their Jamaican recipe, it was finger delicious ( might no be a word) but that how I describe it, well marinated with the jerk spice, even they gave me the extra jerk sauce, I didn’t even need it, that’s well made the dish was, so I gave the chef a 5 ⭐️, so anyone who want a great Jerk chicken should go there, even all of us might have our taste (spicy or none spicy) I believe you will like and don’t forget you need either water or one Jamaican ginger beer to cool it down. I will go back to taste the other dish on the menu, will keep you posted! Enjoy!“

“Top Tier Restaurant and Lounge is awesome. Had lunch there the other day and it was excellent. The steam fish was excellent with rice and peas and bami. It was very good. Service is great and the owners are terrific. The best part is they offer evening events which offer a fun great atmosphere. Top Tier is a fitting name!!!!“

“Flavors Caribbean Restaurant’s Wednesday special features tender and flavorful curried goat priced at under $10, and it even includes a refreshing drink! This unbeatable deal allows you to indulge in the savory delights of curried goat, expertly prepared with aromatic spices, all while enjoying a complimentary beverage. It’s an exceptional opportunity to relish authentic Caribbean cuisine without exceeding your budget.“

“Stopped in for lunch on a recommendation from the nearby medical offices. Really glad I did. Carmen had a great suggestion for me -- the curry goat dish. It was delicious! The chef, Adi, knows what he is doing. I couldn't help but order a pineapple and ginger juice to go with it and I am glad I did. Overall just a fantastic place to eat. Will be stopping by again.“

“Darlene is the best. I have been coming to the hotel for the last two years at least twice a month and the high point of my visit is the Drift for the food and the drinks. Darlene is the key component for both great drinks that we come up with and entertaining my students when I bring them to visit. She is a true gem for the facility and as a Titanium member I highly recommend eating and drinking here even with additional restaurants in plain view.“

“First time here.Was greeted with a smile unlike the other Jamaican chained restaurants here in Broward County. The decor was very nice. Loved the set of dinning tables it gave a rustic vibe especially with reggae music playing in the background . The menu had different options. My family and I had the jerk salmon with steam veg and plantains, jerk chicken breast with rice and peas and plantain, and lastly the one love wrap it has jerk,curry and brown stew chicken breast with rice, plantains, avocado and some other ingredients with a side of fries. The wrap was very filling at first I looked at it and thought to myself I'm not going to be full after eating it but I definitely was. The fries were very crispy and had a nice seasoning on it.Rice and peas were shelly (grainy) which is a good thing. Jerk chicken is super moist and seasoned well. Salmon was just a little over salted but still very good and not overcooked. Definitely, will definitely be back. Well done!“

“This is the most amazing food! Classic hole on the wall restaurant I found by accident when visiting my girlfriend with amazing food and variety. Ms Chelly's is the friendliest person you will ever meet. I am used to high end places and almost didn't go Inside when I saw the place, but never judge a book by its cover! I am so glad I found this place.“

“The food in this place is delicious! I have ordered multiple items on the menu and they have not disappoint! They have one of the best haitian mac and cheese I have ever eating. And they are super friendly and great customer service! I highly recommend!“

“Great Place, Great Vibes. A must visit. I'm from NYC stayed in Miami for 6days, but traveled to Ft. Lauderdale everyday for Lunch n dinner just to eat @ Joy's. It's hard to find Home cooked food, but joys is a JOY to eat @. 100% Approved!!!“

“Great place came by to get roti and I wasn't disappointed. Great customer service cool peoples. Highly recommend it whether it's for a quick bite or with the whole family place looks clean and it feels authentic and it taste authentic“

“One of the best holes in the wall I’ve ever found. I’ve been in broward for over 20 years and this is some of the best Haitian food I’ve had. Worth the visit. I walked out the building and I got tired holding the damn container because it was so heavy. Excellent service, excellent food, 11/10 spot.“

“Staff very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the ocean view is very pleasant every time I have eaten there .the only thing I would like for people to leave their dogs at home . They do not belong where people go out to have a meal and drinks without having a misbehaved dog is these people cannot afford to have someone watch them over for an hour or two while they eat dinner out and then he shouldn’t have dogs. It should be succumbing to the rules who are larger to them. We need to stop this.“

“This place is GREAT! The service and hospitality is perhaps the best thing about the establishment! The women who I always see when I come in are kind and pleasant and always jovial! The food is DELICIOUS! I regularly come in for the curry and jerk chicken combination plate! The plantains are some of the BEST, they are made the right way! The cabbage and rice and peas are also delicious! The proportions are HUGE- you will not be hungry afterwards! They also make a Rum Cake that is DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS! Prices are VERY reasonable! This is one of the best Jamaican restaurants I’ve been to whether in south FL or on the Island itself! Highly recommend!“

“This is the first time I had roti, but it won't be the last. If you like curry, and have never had roti, I highly suggest you try Ali's Roti Shop. First, let me say when you go in you are welcomed with a smile. As some of the other reviews have said, the ladies in Ali's are welcoming and don't mind questions. For example, I thought roti was curry wrapped up like a burrito, but the menu says - chicken AND roti or beef AND roti. So hoping they would forgive my ignorance, I asked about this. (You can have yourcurry wrapped in roti like a large sandwich or separate is the answer by the way.) The portions are huge here!! So I suggest getting the roti on the side. Picking it up as a sandwich was yummy but messy. In fact, with the portions as large as this, I could have made several burrito like roti instead of just one huge one. The curry itself was slightly hot, according to my friend who was with me, who is Jamaican. His tolerance is higher than mine. I would say it is medium spicy lol. It was very tasty and filling and not so hot that I couldn't taste the spices and flavor. The curry spice is the star as are the big pieces of moist chicken. I also got a piece of carrot cake, which was moist and delicious with just the right amount of cream cheese icing. It was also a large portion. To drink, I got their pineapple ginger juice that they make there, and it was perfect- spicy and sweet. The place itself is very clean and homey. Overall, a great first experience with roti! Epic fail on pics as usual. Always forget to take til it is too late.“

“Omggg !Listen to me !I’ve been looking for good tasty seafood for a while & buck up this restaurant and I promise you from the service , to the reasonable prices, to the taste of the food down to the bone ? wow this place is customer friendly, great service & AMAZING dishes . So much to choose from get here if you’re looking for a good fish in south Florida .“

“Was too glad when a fellow Virgin Islander told us about this place. We sure weren't disappointed. I'm still dreaming about that soursop juice. By far the best I've ever had. Food was so good that we ate here 2x during a 1 week trip. Great customer service as well. I enjoyed on day one a plate of mutton with peas and rice and baked macaroni and of course my soursop juice. Left there with a delicious lemon cake made from scratch. Next visit I had the saltfish with rice and spinach. My mother had oxtail for both visits along with passion fruit. This time I drank passion mixed with ginger beer. I saw pates, Johnny cake, fried chicken wings, vita malt, historical pictures and beautiful pics of home. It was comforting. We were not disappointed at all. Real food not dry fast food. Thank you for your service.“

“Delicious! I was passing by after a run and saw the flag. Had to check it out. I was greeted by a kind cashier who helped me decide on the large portion of j*** chicken (it was between the j*** & oxtail).When I came back to pick up my meal; the cook was there to greet me. You can really feel the authenticity. She opened my to-go box to ensure the meal was to my liking. She also got me an extra sauce on the side. The large j*** chicken plate came with about 1/2 a chicken, a salad, and rice & peas.the chicken was so flavorful, the rice and peas were exactly what I needed. The salad for meWas the appropriate portion, as I prioritize the protein. They overdelivered.Would highly recommend for an authentic, homemade meal. I’ll be back!“

“I highly recommend this particular Golden Krust as I placed an order yesterday to have it delivered to my home address. My food was hot and well packaged, and everything that I ordered off the menu was absolutely amazing! From the Banana Porridge, jerk chicken, cheese patties, spicy beef patties, bun & cheese, and the oxtail served with rice & pease was delicious. This Golden Krust has friendly staff who always goes above & beyond to exceed my expectations and knows how to consistently deliver high quality! ??“

“Knight’s Kitchen is truly a hidden gem in Sunrise. It is hands down one of the best Jamaican Restaurants here in Sunrise Florida. After picking up my order, I had to call back and place another order for 2 additional plates. The chef hands are truly touched by an Angel. Wow, truly authentic.. Will definitely be going back.❤️??“

“Been here twice and really like this place. The customer service is great. They're friendly and gave me a sample of my smoothie first to make sure I liked it before buying it. I've tried 2 smoothies there so far and both were delicious and made very well. I forget the first one I got but today I got the Supreme Green and like it a lot. Inside is a little small but enough room for 6-7 people to eat. I saw bathrooms down the hallway. Some small foot options in a hot case in the front. They have tons of smoothie options. Some bottled drink options as well. The pricing is on par with other places. I definitely need to come back and try one of their meals.“

“Chef Roy food is truly amazing, I’ve followed him everywhere he’s gone for years, his boneless snapper fishes makes it so easy to eat. His food is well seasoned and gives an authentic taste no matter what you order. Everything is cooked to order and fresh. I’d definitely recommend to stop by and see for yourself.“

“Listen, you get authentic Jamaican jerked chicken, escovitched fish, roast fish, steamed fish, fish soup! Yummy? food, great service. Don't worry if you go in and there's a line, you'll be "next" soon. D place jus nice iyah! Big up yuh self Mel!“

“Always a great meal here. Plenty of parking. Relaxed island atmosphere with reggae playing softly. Great service from Kiara this time, as usual here. The jerked wings are so darn delicious you don't even need the sauce that comes with them.“

“The service was excellent even though there was just one server. came in on Saturday with ten folks. The food arrived really quickly. The bacon burger and the chicken wings with lemon pepper were both excellent. The food was wonderful, fresh, and fantastic. and the service was just fantastic.“

“Girls' night out & it was fun! Music was nice (all reggae). It would've been nice for the DJ to mix in a little r&b/rap. Ordered the oxtail, rice & peas, and tostones. It was good! Management was accommodating and made sure we were comfortable!“

“The fried pork (Grio) is always cooked to protection and the pikliz (Spicy Coleslaw) taste perfect with the rice, beans and pork together. Just an amazing combination, family run restaurants are the best in Oakland Park. Hands down best Hattian food in the area.“

“The owner and her husband were very accommodating for my party of 5. They gave us the real Jamaican experience. The food was AMAZING and we had one of almost everything on the menu. The servers were also friendly which made the experience even better.“

“This restaurant is really very quaint inside and very clean. The menu is small and sits on the table. The server was a very young woman who didn't seem to know much about the menu and didn't smile much, I was thinking she just needed more training. The food was GREAT! I had the oxtail with mushroom rice The picklese is my favorite creole side and it was perfectly spicy I loved it. The flavors were perfect, my friend had the meatballs and I tasted them they were fabulous I would get those next time I go for sure! All in all I had a great time I would definitely“

“Very creative and artistic haitian restaurant. Food is delicious and service is great ??. Haven't had a haitian spot that offered exceptional service but this place definitely has it. Not to mention they offer complementary plantain chips and dip. I found my new spot ?.“

“Hands down, the BEST roti shop in Florida. Singh’s catered for my wedding reception and all of my guests loved their food. My family from Trinidad couldn’t believe they were getting Trini food like this in the states lol. Thank you for everything! You guys are the best. If you’re reading this review, make sure you go to Singh’s!“

“Delicious and healthy vegi quinoa hamburger. Drink was also good prepared to my needs. Service was nice and friendly and the music with DJ Dany last night was amazing..we had so much fun dancing outside overlooking at the beautiful Ft Lauderdale beach.“

“One of the best Golden Krust locations I’ve ever been to. Staff was amazing and food presentation was awesome ?. The presentation makes you want to try everything. I loved the wings and the rice and the mild beef patties . Will be back soon thank you ?.“

“Went here with my wife on one of those days you just don't feel like cooking. I ordered the jerk chicken while my wife ordered one each of the chicken and beef meat patty. The chicken was absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of spices for me and came with rice and beans. There was SO MUCH food that there was no way it could be finished in one night, and the price was extremely affordable. My wife enjoyed her meat patties and loved the curry seasoning in one and the mild flavor of the other. The two women who waited upon us were such wonderful people. Their smiles were natural and infectious. I am super anxious to get back there and try the ox-tail or the goat curry, but I'm not sure about one of their other menu items, the goat head soup, lol!“

“We financed the purchase of our first home through Mrs LLisa Codwelland had such a great experience that we’ve since refinanced with her twice. MRS LLisa Codwelland her team are fantastic! They make the process easy to understand, walked us through each step, and kept us informed along the way. They’re professional yet warm and friendly, and we wouldn’t trust the process with anyone else!“

“Their lunch special is so good every time! I got the mini brown stew chicken with a fried dumpling and their pineapple ginger juice. My plate is clean and I’m ready for a nap. Thank you for the great meal! Check out my Instagram @jkroyality for more ?“

“I've gone here so many times and just this week I have concluded that this place is best for breakfast only. Their lunch is really regular, sometimes downright terrible, even though I appreciate their variety. However they're more miss than hit.Their breakfast though!!! Whoever is cooking really seems to put all their love and effort into breakfast, leaving nothing behind for lunch. The ackee and saltfish is so good. Fried dumplings are brilliant. Even the oversized (very greasy) fritter tastes great. And don't get me started on their different porridges. Not too sweet, not too thick, not runny, just right.“
