40 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Dorchester

“Absolutely delicious food and wonderful people working here!“

“I am of Bajan decent. Today I experienced the goat and Coucou (sp?). It was so good that I found myself swaying and humming. I almost expected my Bajan grandmother to enter the room and join me. The food was so tasty, comforting and just spicy enough. I also had the opportunity to meet Chester, the owner and Chef. In speaking with him, it is clear to note that he is committed to his community. While recognizing some of the problems, he comes forward offering solutions! I wish the best to this establishment and its patient staff as I will return. Q.M. Zakiya“

“It's hard to find the words to describe the experience of eating at Comfort Kitchen... they are a game-changer for the restaurant experience. Their food is familiar and comforting while still feeling new and fresh. We are frequent brunch-goers here (the pepper stew is — WOW), and we have eaten here a number of times for special occasions with friends and even for a company meal for 10. The service is consistently thoughtful, no matter how big the table.

Highly recommend—can't wait to experience their new place in Allston! And we are so looking forward to the patio opening in Dorchester.“

“this was so good and fast!“

“Hello everyone I just want to share my amazing experience with this restaurant, Food was Amazing and the Vegetable Soup was Number one and the price was reasonable and affordable if I stop in Boston and need food 10 out of 10 definitely would recommend jerk chicken was very amazing to and I drove from Florida and I am a jamaican so I would know if it was amazing, FYI Chef Mark is very friendly.“

“The food is Delicious!!!!“

“Delicious food, prepared with care & love. I had a jerk chicken & plantain wrap — highly recommend. For dessert, key lime pie — out of this world. Excellent service & atmosphere.“

“I placed a catering order and it the process, professionalism, and the food was honestly the best of the best in the Boston area! Jermaine provided excellent customer service and I couldn’t be happier! All of our guest were raving about the food. You all have gained a lifelong customer. THANK YOU!!! See you soon.“

“Absolutely fantastic! We got the fried chicken with rice and beans and the fried fish with plantains. Chicken was well seasoned, and moist despite being fried without a batter. Fish was moist, tender, flaky, served whole fried, on the bone. Pikliz was tangy with a hint of that scotch bonnet spice, great compliment to the fried meats. Rice and beans was probably the best I've had on the continental US. 10/10 overall!“

“The empanadas are amazing especially the chicken. So much flavor packes inside. They really give you a lot of meat in the empanada. The spicy tropical margarita drink, so sweet you just a hint of spice. But the Plantano sushi, it's a surprise. Hands down the best combination. You get great live music, it's a vibe.“

“We all had something different from the menu. The swordfish was cooked perfectly and had a great sauce on it, the Bavette and Macfaldine dishes were also excellent. Did not care for the caesar salad before of the kale greens. It is a small place so make reservations. Michaela was absolutely great and we all had a fun time.“

“Yesterday was our first time at Fete. The hostess was friendly and explained how their menu worked. Our server was Alexis she was so attentive and great at her job. Food was great, music was awesome. We came to celebrate my bf birthday and Alexis and the fete team was great acknowledging that and giving him a cheesecake.
Definitely would recommend fete and ask for Alexis.“

“Good food, Latino music, cozy space.“

“UPDATE: all this food lasted me three meals--two lunches, a large dinner. Also gave some of the rice to my Haitian students at school and they confirmed that it was really good

Got take out. All this was $20 (I think that's a good amount of food for the price)

Griot, diri kole, bannann peze, side salad, sos ti malis and a little bit of pikliz.

Pork was pretty soft on the inside, nice outer texture. Could be a bit crispier but that's ok, it was still amazing. Love that they don't cut off the fat, nice and tender. Melts in your mouth

Pikliz is also great, love that they keep it spicy, none of that watered down mild spice for ppl who can't handle it.

Rice was als great, gave a good amount. Peas were soft, plenty of flavor. Epis they make you can tell is really good.

Bannan peze was fried fresh, nice big thick cuts. Pairs perfect with the pikliz. Sos ti malis also good and thick.

CALL ahead tho to check if they have everything. Seems like it's just one lady cooking in the back, but she's really nice.“

“I ordered the curried ckn and stew ckn for my son and I and they were both soo good! Check this place out! You won’t be disappointed!“

“Great place for date night.“

“Mum Mich is definitely one of the better food spots in Dorchester. The prices are on the higher side, but the seasoning and overall quality make it clear why. The oxtail is tender and flavorful, the mac and cheese is rich and well‑balanced, and the garlic wings hit that perfect mix of crispy and well‑seasoned. Even the bakes were a pleasant surprise. For anyone looking for well‑seasoned, satisfying Caribbean comfort food, this place stands out in the neighborhoo“

“i will definitely be visiting The D Coal Pot again very soon. The food is fresh taste great and really good. I was driving and came upon this restaurant i didn't plan on going to this restaurant but I said to self stop and get a few Patties and wouldn't you know they had no Patties. I left the restaurant with Corn Soup Peas & Rice Chicken Roti Beef Roti. I also got to try a dessert I've never had before I don’t know the name of it but had Guava Sweet Potato Coconut and other things to make this dessert which was really good so I ordered 2 to go. D Coal Pot is definitely a place you must visit and get a meal.“

Got the rasta pasta and the Haitian Spaghetti..smh...taste buds tried to jump out my mouth it was so good. Def high level recommendation🇭🇹🇭🇹“

“Great place for doubles!
Too bad we only ordered 2 of them. They are quite filling but I would've eaten more out of greed!
The doubles were well prepared and well seasoned. Very affordable.
No frills, counter service. If I come back to Boston, I will be back for sure.
Highly recommend.“

“I went there during the opening, and I passed by couple times regardless how far I live I still think it’s worth for me to go have my food there . It’s highly recommended. The owner is a great person with great customer service skills.“

“My favorite Haitian restaurant, great food, reasonably priced and good portions. I drive out to come here past other spots due to the quality of food at this spot.

Thier waiting staff are friendly but could use more experience. They make frequent errors however they’re are so polite and quick to fix any issues.

Expect a long wait so order ahead if you’re picking up or have time to sit if dinning in“

“Very nice place and the owner is a fantastic person. Salute“

“Came here for the oxtail, was not disappointed! I do wish it had more meat on it but it was so flavorful and well seasoned. Perfectly paired with rice and beans &pikliz & plantains. The food was so fresh and smelled delicious. The place was a little hard to find but just look at the numbers on the door. Parking wasn’t bad.“

“Everything at Levi's was amazing. The bartenders were great during our event.“

“Stopped in for breakfast before court. Was hungry and had stress induced stomach ache coming on and needed to get some food in me. Got the saltfish breakfast and it was delicious. Their hot sauce taste like what I’ve only found in Rwanda and Caribbean Panama. Had to remind myself to slow down and not overdo it before court. Getting some real food in my stomach was exactly what was needed to get through a stressful morning.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“got the complete sandwich and strawberry smoothie, total came to about $20 (probably included tip? idk they didn't ask). the sandwich was made to order and comes out fresh and hot. everything was solid.

service was pretty slow though. I was the only customer there and it took around 15 mins for me to get my food.“

“I recently ordered the fried turkey plate it was really good. Im going back ill let yall know“

“First time eating here after watching tooo many shows on Jamaican food. Everything was absolutely delicious. Jerk chicken - moist, fall apart with a fork and spiced perfectly. The heat is there and it stays for a bit but sooo good Beans and rice - was not expecting a coconut flavor to the rice, game changer for sure and dulls down some of the heat if you don’t like spicy chicken. Corn - roasted and flavorful. I will be coming back here again and again. If you’re in the area you owe it to your taste buds to stop in.“
