Caribbean Restaurants near Malden

“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.“

“The thing that stands out about this place is the portion size of the food. As a pickup and take out place, don't expect a lounge like atmosphere, just take your food and go. You won't be disappointed about the food either, cause it's really nice ??.“

“The people are very friendly and kind. I needed to wait for a few hours until I could get into my AirBnb and they let me stay warm and cozy until I could go in. The only reason it's not 5 starts is because they food is not of my taste (taste is VERY subjective) and the door isn't the best letting all the heating go away as soon as someone comes in or out.“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious! Highly recommend their food:)“

“We celebrated my daughter's 21st birthday last night at La Fabrica. I drove almost 2 hours to get to the restaurant from the Springfield, MA area because I wanted to my daughter to have authentic Spanish food and dance to a live band. I have to say the reservation team was amazing. I had to add to my reservation last minute and when I notified them I was going to be late, they moved my reservation to another time with no hesitation. They were very accommodating. The food, drinks, and the dining room staff service was great, especially our waitress. After dinner we chose to stay in the front bar area to enjoy the live band. We started to dance and have a great till first a waiter yelled at us for being in the way and told us we couldn't stand where we were standing. We moved again and someone else told us to move again. We tried to dance again and got spoked to AGAIN. We understand the place is very small and gets packed but it was very annoying, so unfortunately we left. I was enjoying the live band but the constant being told to move and move was annoying. I wish the restaurant would expand their front room or remove all the dining tables to make more room or move the live back to their back club room. That's just my opinion because it's a shame not to enjoy a live band and not being able to dance or move around instead of standing in place in a room packed like sardines. I would love to go back but because of the limited space, I would probably go somewhere else.“

“The Jerk Lamb Chops will change your life if you are a fan of spicy food. They are tender, perfectly cooked and expertly seasoned. Admittedly, if you are not a fan of spicy food they're probably not your vibe but if you are they will make as happy as they made me.

Fete has always been a very fun place for me to visit. The music is always great and the drinks are tasty too!“

“Good food, Latino music, cozy space.“

“Went here for the first time last night on a friends recommendation. Never tried Venezuelan food before but WOW we were absolutely blown away by the beef arepas and the mojitos . So delicious! We came on a Saturday and were seated immediately, and the food came out fast. Definitely coming back!“

“Great place for date night.“

“Truly one of the best the Boston food scene has to offer. Nothing like it. Try everything on the menu if you can. Seriously. May the neighborhood and community surrounding this local gem continue to build and grow around this centerpiece of a restaurant.“

“AWESOME experience here!!

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place and I'm glad we did!
It was our first time eating Haitian food so we were excited.

The woman tending to us was so sweet and explained to us our options and let us try samples. She genuinely wanted us to enjoy our meal and I felt that love from her.

We ended up splitting a dinner plate with chicken, salad, plantains, rice, and mac n cheese. Everything was clearly homemade and delicious. Portions were generous and we both left full. They even made fresh cheesecake and gave us some to try, literally they were so kind!

Really I only have good things to say about this place and I recommend you support their business because they were awesome and the food was of high quality!!“

“Sean makes great food. His local food selections are seasonal eating at its best!“

“You can’t go wrong with anything you order from them! Everything is fresh and the owner is a great guy.“

“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“

“My favorite thing about Codman Square! The roti is delicious, all the cooks are so friendly, the music is great, Wu is everybody's favorite guy, service is fast, and the spice cake is in my top ten desserts ever. On top of all that, the veggie roti and doubles are vegan!“

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

“this was so good and fast!“

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

“This was my six-year-old’s choice for his birthday dinner! We used to frequent the South End location and since that one closed, we got delivery from Brookline. He wanted to write a review. His review is ‘they are the best cookers in the world.’ He also wants to give the meal seven stars. The food was great as usual! My go-to is the pabellon criollo, delicious and filling! Will have to come by and dine in soon.“

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

“The food here is always delicious. But we just went for drinks and to dance. This is a Dominican spot that converts to a club vibe on the weekends. I always enjoy myself at El Molinos. The DJ understood the assignment. It is an older crowd and the music was on point. There aren't enough spots that cater to Gen X. I was happy ?.“

“Been going there for years food is always consistently great Staff is always friendly and happy to please“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

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

“Food is good..service can be better....

Today is June 14th 2025….. I went in for a large steak I didn’t realize it was close to closing. I asked if they had steak to which… yes , was the reply….

I got the plate and he said it wasn’t enough steak…. So the other choice was chicken… mind you they had oxtail ( I overheard on my way out) ….. they charged me for a large steak…. It want even a whole piece of steak just broken chunks and 3 pieces of chicken…. I been yall since Blue Hill Ave days….. I am beyond disappointed….. this is the second time yall skimped me. There will not be a 3rd!!!!“

“The food is Delicious!!!!“

“On the outskirts of Downtown Lynn here's a spot that serves tasty authentic Hatian food with good serving sizes. Chicken so good that it slides off the bone!
Pikliz was crunchy and a little spicy to add a kick of flavor. Dish served with generous amounts of sauce. Papaya juice was thickened with too much whipped cream, though. You can't go wrong with the bunun peze (pressed fried plaintains). The atmosphere could use some decoration, and better music choice could be switched to Haitian music to celebrate the culture with pride and set the right vibe. It's a small business/family owned restaurant, so I can overlook some issues and hope they improve over time with listening to the constructive feedback. Street parking is available, and the place is easy to find off the street. Service was friendly and the food was great, so a good experience overall. Merci!

Parking: Street parking available around the area“

“Food is AMAZING!! Salt and Pepper Shrimp, Kreole Chicken delicious 👩‍🍳❤️“

“Expending quality time with the one!!“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“I have only done take-out, but you can also eat here. The jerk chicken is good, and I have also enjoyed the oxtail and curry goat. The fish dishes are also tasty. Not as many vegetable sides as I would prefer, but still enjoyable as a treat every now and then.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“Tiny, inexpensive ,no frills place with friendly young staff serving up classic Dominican tostados, toasted sandwiches. Takeout only, but they have plenty of outdoor seating. Sandwiches were delicious but a real surprise was the quality of the fruit smoothies! My mango and passion fruit smoothie was so rich and summery, not drenched in sugar at all.“

“My I go here often and get great service“

“Great restaurant, when you are looking to eat great food in a quiet inviting atmosphere.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“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 :)“

“It is a MUST TRY. 🔟 ⭐️ across the board!! Was in Boston for the weekend and feeling for some good Jamaican food and Island Style DID NOT disappoint. Food was so good. I would had an another.

Photos : Before and after so good“

“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.“

“Delicious take out restaurant. Don't recall ever having real Jamaican food before but now I'm a convert. Not really a place to sit down and eat and I don't recall there being tables or counters. Regardless, would recommend swinging by here for some high quality and cheap eats!

Recommend the beef patty sandwich, the bread is sweet and so good! Chicken meat falls off the bone, but watch out, that spice doesn't hit right away.“

“Manje yo pa gou Yo fe akra avek yon vye farine yo pa fel ak malanga or tayo jan yo di en kreyol la meatball lan pat gou andedanl san gou epi boule banan peze a apre 5 mns li red san gou siveye saw achete paske yo ka baw vyan chien nan plas kabrit map rele fe yo bam kob Mwen back and report them“

“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.“

“I smelled the food from down the street during an interview. I followed my nose until I found the source. I ordered a medium jerk chicken rasta pasta with a side of beans and rice with ox tail sauce. I devoured it in my car, down the street. It was delicious. So, so good. The heat was a little mild for me, but perfect for your average eater, and it was still sooooo full of flavor. The only thing that was missing was watermelon water. MmmmmmMMM.“

“This is the first time that, I have been there in at least 3 years and the food was good I had the white rice and there Mac and cheese dish and the chicken ? was ok but, it was the Mac and cheese that, I thought ? was very good the service was ok it's a mid to small place and yes they do accept credit cards and it was taken out for me and my family.“

“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.“
