26 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Holbrook

“Great spot for Haitian food. There is a lot of places in the area that sell fritai or Haitian patties but not too many that sell all this plus rice plates, macaroni etc. You that real Haitian food your folks make. Food is amazing especially the rice and staff always has a smile. Food can take a but to come out but that's only because lots of Haitian food isn't "fast food" so I understand. If you want something quick get their fritai or dine out and order ahead and you probably won't wait long“

“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.“

“I love Ali Roti since the 1980’s. Fresh food good flavor and family owned. Delicious food to top my cravings.“

“I went there today , like 10 minutes before they closed . The lady at the front was very nice , although they had run out of a lot of food because it was 10 minutes before closing, she tried her best to accommodate me and gave 2 types of chicken because there was not enough of the other I wanted . Portions are a lot couldn’t be more satisfied with the flavor of the food . Will definitely come back .“

“Good value. Delicious food. Jasmine is very sweet.“

“The meat and the rice were bone free, well seasoned, and delicious!!! A little dry, but I was doing a “too good to go” bag at the end of the day, so that’s okay.

I will have to come back for more!

Parking is tricky, because there is one entrance and one exit and they are not obvious, so be aware and careful when pulling in (especially if you’re crossing multiple lanes of traffic to do it), but there is free parking.

Also, lots of black ice right now in the lot, which is not the businesses fault, as I’m from of them it’s fine, but just be careful!!!“

“Good food but highly priced, short staffed took longer r for check than food. Cash only and 20 tip already included. 130 for breakfast it’s way too much.“

“Good food and service. We will be back“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“THE STORE IS NOW OFFICIALLY OPEN!!! Business Hours: 10am-9pm Mon-Sat Closed sundays (for now) Rice and Peas and curry goat. FOOOD IS GOOODT nice serving size. Order a small and I was full before finishing it. So much flavor, this curry chicken here was so juicy, rice and peas not too soft nor to hard, FRESH. Yellow plantain sweet and soft and tasteful Looking fwd to the BBQ J*** chicken next time I go. Everything on the menu is actually good“

“🔥🔥Food is Fire, first time here and I will be back“

“Went for a dinner party for our first time. There is a good amount to choose from and no matter what you choose, it is flavorful and has great portions. I got chicken, rice and beans, plantain, and balsamic asparagus, marinade twice and I really appreciate the consistence with their food. I have tried many Haitian restaurants all around MA and this has to be the best chicken I had tasted. Flavorful, beautiful char, and has a kick to it! Only downside is the bar was not open during our first visit and our servers seemed impatient with our large party or over the night…but I can understand that. Either way, I highly recommend this restaurant. Delicious delicious delicious 🤍“

“Lo mejor en Boston!! La experiencia es siempre especial e inolvidable!!“

“I was one of the first to eat from here when it opened five years ago in the former D'Angelo's location. They food is outstanding, the service is friendly and the space is VERY clean.That's where the compliments stop unfortunately.Despite everywhere else in the area having reopened their dining areas, this location is still Take Out only for unexplained reasons. The McDonald's across the street was one of the first to close their dining space due to the Pandemic and was also one of the last to reopen theirs but they DID reopen their dining area.We're now almost two full years after the Pandemic ended but their dining space remains closed. The only possible explaination I can think of at this point is they're keeping the dining areas closed so they don't have to bother cleaning those spaces several times a day. Either way, they should have a sign posted letting people know if the dining area is permanently closed or no at this point.That aside, the prices on the entrees have been gradually increasing. When they first opened five years ago, the Oxtail plate came in three size options (Small, Medium and Large). In the summer of 2019 they announced due to rising prices on oxtail meat, they were dropping their Small and Large options for the Oxtail and would sell the Medium at a higher price. It started at $18 and is now $22. I like their Oxtail but I'm not willing to pay THAT much for it. I'm better off buying the meat and cooking it myself in that case.It's sad that they've decided to pass those rising costs onto their customers, most of whom live in the neighborhood--myself included. Other options have also had price increases in recent years. The pandemic sucked for everyone but and people get you need to be profitable to stay in business and pay your employees but this is really pushing it.One myth/rumor I've heard for a while that I can personally confirm is NOT true is some think the food is cooked at another location and brought there. This is NOT true. All food is cooked on site in the kitchen in the back. The food is SAFE, Sanitary and good. They also take custom requests on all orders within reason. For example if you want to mix and match certain items in the same plate, you can. Just ask.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“Went in there about 8 pm expecting the worst because it was late but I was greatly surprised. I got something new, the escargot chicken ( hope I spelled it right) yellow rice and cow peas, cabbage. Four pieces of fry chicken and a side order of cold slaw. I was very pleased with everything. I was fresh and very tasty for that time of night. Keep up the good work OnkyOne. I like the three different rice options, but the yellow with peas tastes delicious. My $25 was well spent. ??

Vegetarian options: Yam, cabbage, coleslaw“

“I was probably one of its first 25 clients, I worked in Mattapan. I can’t remember anything I didn't like. The food was always exceptionally delicious. Fresh bannann pézé, soft grio and tasso. The pikliz could have been hotter.“

“Cannot recommend the Right Taste highly enough. The jerk chicken, rice with beans, and if you are lucky plantains are outstanding. I always try to pay cash with a nice tip to support a local business and last time only had two twenties. Rather than break the second bill, the owner said don’t worry about it. This is my small way to pay it forward.“

“Went in to satisfy the kid’s ice cream craving. We were pleasantly surprised at all the flavor choices! Walked home after sharing a scoop of oreo and cookie dough (sort of sharing, the boy can be a bit stingy when the food is good...) and with a meal each: jerk chicken and stew beef. We each had a filling dinner last night AND lunch today. Thanks! Looking forward to trying ALL the ice cream flavors :)“

“I placed a catering order and Ricardo was very responsive, professional, and the food was incredible! It is honestly one of the best Haitian restaurants in the area and I’m thrilled it’s so amazing! The food is consistently good! Thank you and see you all soon.“
