30 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Somerville

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 food and wonderful people working here!“

“First time here, and it was a hit. All the food we had was great, and the service was great too. I just finished my leftover pork chop, and even after microwaving it, it was awesome and I nearly gnawed on the bone. The scotch bonnet pepper hot sauce was a great addition too. Drink menu was good and my wife said her eggplant salad (though not really called a salad??) was literally the best salad she has ever had.“

“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.“

“Fabulous lunch here. The presentation was beautiful and the taste-fabulous! I highly recommend it!“

“La Fábrica was absolutely delicious! The food was amazing and full of flavor—truly the highlight of the experience. Our server was very nice. The atmosphere is super cute but most importantly, the food really stands out. Definitely a place worth visiting again“

“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.“

“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“

“Good food, Latino music, cozy space.“

“Great place for date night.“

“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.“

“When I went here I ended up coming a bit confused at the style of cuisine but, later after trying it I end up very impressed. This mix of Trinidadian and Soul Food is like a Happy Marriage. The Curry Chicken, Brown Rice, Macaroni, Collard Greens, and Sorrel I had made for a pretty memorable meal for me. I didn’t not expect food like this to come out of a Small Mom and Pop’s Shop. I will definitely be coming here again.“

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

“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!“

“Shrimp Roti is good 🍤. I don't care for the boneless as the meat can be too dry, but the flavor is great. However, there has been a time where I felt like the meat was rushed as it had no flavor 😕. The wait time is way too long, and I can never figure out why this is my biggest complaint, unless you go as soon as they open ⏳. I do have to say the family, for the most part, is polite and friendly 😊.“

“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.“

“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.“

“What great experience!
The staff is amazing very friendly and helpful.
The food was excellent. I would recommend Orinoco too all!

My family and I will enjoy another great meal the next time we are in the Boston area.“

“great food clean n friendly staff“

“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 ?.“
