50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Hallandale Beach

“This place right here is my favorite Haitian restaurant! Now that their Miami location has closed, I still make the commute here to get my fix. They have all the classic dishes, from griot all the way to lalo on Thursdays. You must dine in if you can. The staff is so welcoming and nice. The food presentation is immaculate. If you're a fan of mac and cheese, you must try the mac. Please be patient, as the food is very fresh and may take some time to come out. But just vibe to the Haitian music while you wait, and you'll be okay.“

“I've been here twice now. The food is great, but they need to be more organized. There's no reason it should take about an hour to get food, whether you are dining in or doing take out. Especially when some of the food is pre-made. I think if some of the employees were assigned take out and others assigned to assist with getting food out for those dining in things would run smoother and more efficiently. Some employees were just standing around because their assigned area (checkout) wasn't necessarily busy.“

“Excellent dining experience.“

“I go to lunch here a lot the value and protion for food is great .. $6 for a fresh meal plus a soda in this economy WOW!!!! .. it looks like a father daughter operations and they are friendly. The Woman is in the front, and she deliveries great customer service and remembers you and your order. The place is small, but it's set up with a little seatin, but its mostly take out.“

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

“Alamod Caribbean Restaurant is a hidden gem that truly deserves all five stars! The flavors are authentic, rich, and vibrant. The griot was perfectly seasoned, tender, and the pikliz added the perfect kick. The staff were warm and welcoming. The portions were very generous, and the prices were fair for the quality and experience . Alamod Caribbean Restaurant is a must-visit!“

“I like this place a lot. The owners have managed to make Haitian food that is both authentic and approachable for non-Haitians. Plus the decor is to die for. Back to the food. They use minimal processing in the food preparation and it shows. It’s real authentic haitian food without the extra unnecessary, harmful stuff. I highly recommend.“

“I really enjoyed the food here. Although they don't have a lunch special, they do have a small size which is a lot of food for lunch. The price for the jerk chicken with rice and peas was $12.99. The customer service was excellent. The owner was very polite as he served me, which is rare for a Jamaican restaurant. I'll definitely be back.“

“Pull up Eat Good & Caribbean vibe“

“As soon as I landed in Miami I call to check if they were opened. The lady that answered was pleasant and welcoming. That alone was worth the drive. Then to get there and the entire staff was amazing. My kids and I really enjoyed our lunch. The curry goat and soup was my fave. Keep up the great work mi Yardie family🇯🇲“

“Pretty good. The service was engaging despite the lunch rush and the food was outstanding. I ordered yuca, maduro, oxtail and rice and peas. I can’t recommend the oxtail. It was primarily fat and a little tough but everything else was extraordinary and I’d definitely return for some of the other menu items and of course the sauces! ?“

My experience was great... Awesome spot to stop by“

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“

“We celebrated my high school 60th anniversary there. The restaurant is owned by one of our own, a CCF alumni! Great ambiance! I will support anytime I'm in the area!

Parking: I had to drive around 3 times before I found the parking lot. It's located behind the restaurant. If you pass the restaurant, you missed the parking.“

“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“

“If you’re looking for the best island food in town this is the spot. They offer so much variety, Best Jamaican food I’ve ever tried down south. They also offer catering definitely a must have at your next party event. I had the oxtail dinner and it was just amazing ? if I could leave more than 5 stars I would. Definitely coming back for more!“

“Nice place! Good in services! Very kind and professional. The pizza aransò yummy 🇭🇹🫶🏽“

“I Traveled in for the day for work and found this great Caribbean restaurant and the food was absolutely delicious! I ordered some steamed fish with rice and peas and it felt like I was back home in Jamaica. I Will definitely tell my friends about this place. Was truly a Gem in the Miami Gardens Area.“

“Oh wow!!! When I say this place is all that....it's all that! The Tropical Conch Salad OMG. Seasoning on point. I will be back again and again. Customer service...on point.“

“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!!!!!!“

“Had the pleasure to meet the owner at my job. And had this Caribbean food for lunch for the first time (Tasso Turkey and Plantains), and it's definitely not the last. And to top it off, they have breakfast, lunch, dinner and they cater!!! FIVE STARS!!!“

“I loved it the food the service everything about this place. I paid valet parking. I was by myself and my server/waitress kept checking on me making sure everything was okay. I did not ever feel alone although I did come alone. The food was wonderful I think I tried everything on happy hour. This is how started my birthday weekend off. I will definitely be returning.“

“The vibe is EVERYTHING! Great atmosphere. Super friendly staff and they treat you like family!! There is something happening there daily.

I also attended their sneaker ball a couple of weeks ago. It was awesome seeing an establishment pour back to the community it serves. It speaks volumes.

The drinks are never watered down, and the bonus is no cover charge. I went once with a friend about 6 weeks ago, and it has quickly become my go-to spot.

Ps. Girlie's, it's a SAFE space!“

“I loved this place and the employee that served us. She was polite, kind and had a smile that could melt the coldest ice cream. The flavors are decadent and have a sweetness that brings memories of your childhood with your cousins at your grandma's house. My favorite was the bun and cheese and i can't wait to get a full pint.“

“Man let me tell you...... This place is it in the morning I normally get the spaghetti ?? or the patté cordé and those are life and for lunch for dinner I usually get the tassot ??? or the griot they always get me right the only thing I could say is when the boss lady is not in they can improve on their customer service.“

“Absolutely amazing! I’m vegan but as a person from the Caribbean you always looking for that down home cooking and flavor. This definitely hit the spot! My only regret is I didn’t take any pictures before eating. Had the tofu curry and bought two other meals to go! Highly recommend!

“Mi Yard is hands-down Miami’s best spot for authentic casual Jamaican food. My family went before seeing Taylor Swift at Hard Rock stadium. What a gem so close to the stadium! The jerk chicken is spicy, smoky perfection, and the oxtail stew was delicious . The vibe is relaxed, and the staff is real and genuinely really sweet. They came out from behind the register and played Jenga with my daughters. Fair warning: you’ll leave fuller, happier, and probably craving more. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Chef, thank you for the good food! ??

So good. Fried turkey so juicy and flavorful! Mac and cheese, so wonderful. You must share the recipe. Lol

Djon Djon diri nice and tasty.

Hats off! ⚘️⚘️⚘️⚘️???⚘️⚘️“

“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“
