17 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Columbia

“Delicious! We got the chicken, oxtail, and shrimp tacos (picked the corn and pineapple pico as toppings), jerk chicken bowl (corn, jerk cauliflower, pickled slaw and pineapple pico as toppings), and angry mac n cheese. Shrimp taco was my favorite since it was the spiciest. They accidentally left out the jerk sauce I asked for and yet everything was still flavorful without it. They do offer delivery but I ended up picking it up since online ordering kept giving an error message. Ordering over the phone was a little challenging so in the absence of online ordering it may be easier to just stop by and order in person.“

“Super-friendly guy behind the counter (the owner, maybe?) who asked questions about what I like and provided informed recommendations that were exactly right! Delicious teriyaki vegan “chicken”!“

“The food is delicious and the portions are enormous. I got a bowl with brown stew chicken, rice n peas, and plantains. It's enough food for multiple meals (for me). I just wish I'd asked for a bit more brown gravy!“

“It's by far the best Jamaican food ever! I would eat it everyday if I could. The staff is very professional and super friendly. Try the oxtail which I love with all my heart.“

“I’ve been looking for an opportunity to try Haitian cuisine because I’ve heard it was so good and i’m so glad Caribeyond did NOT disappoint.

the gentleman that took my order was super friendly and helped me navigate the menu as I had food allergies. I settled on the stewed goat (Kabrit) and it was so delicious. It came with fresh jasmine rice, plantain, pikliz, and a side salad. the portion was solid (total meal was about $32 with tax)

I will definitely be back!“

“I took my vehicle in for brakes and, while waiting, felt a little peckish.

Island Quizine turned out to be a great stop.

I arrived shortly after they opened, which was definitely a good thing.

I had passed by a couple of days earlier around lunchtime, and the line was out the door.

After this visit, now I know why.

The restaurant was clean and welcoming.

An associate was restocking the beverage machine when I arrived, but I was promptly greeted and able to place my order.

I was initially the only person dining in, but that quickly changed.

About 45 minutes later, every table was occupied and there was a line of customers waiting to order.

I ordered the Large Jerk Chicken with White Meat, along with rice and peas, fried plantains, cabbage, and a beef patty.

My food was ready in less than five minutes.

I started with the beef patty.

The golden pastry had a satisfying crust with a savory, well-seasoned beef filling and just enough spice to give it a flavorful kick.

Then came the jerk chicken (nice, generous chunks of white meat that were flavorful, juicy, tender, and piping hot).

The spice level was medium and perfect for me - well seasoned without being overly spicy.

There was an additional charge for white meat, which I didn’t mind given my preference.

The rice and peas were flavorful and well seasoned, with a savory Caribbean flavor and hearty texture that complemented the chicken nicely.

The fried plantains were sweet and tender with lightly caramelized edges - the perfect balance of soft, sweet, and savory.

The cabbage provided a nice contrast to the richer flavors on the plate.

It was tender without being overly soft, with carrots and other vegetables adding texture and color.

Great reggae music played throughout my entire visit, adding to the atmosphere.

The portion was very generous - too much for me to finish in one sitting, so I happily took the rest home.

Next time, I’ll explore more of the menu.

By the time I left, the tables were full and there was a line to order.

Now I know why.“

“if you want good carribean food this is the place.the price is fare.the waiters are ok. I've been here a few times and to say the least out of the last 5 times I visited here 2 times was disappointing.“

“Simone, the owner, is outstanding in customer service and attention to detail. She treats every customer like family. Sitting in the backyard area was like walking into a paradise.“

“Delicious Jamaican food, But Needed More Sauce!
I ordered the jerk chicken for delivery, and it was a fantastic meal overall. The jerk chicken itself was incredibly fresh, tender, and flavorful. What impressed me were the sides—the rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains were all perfectly cooked. Not often do I get every single side dish just right from a Jamaican restaurant, so that was a pleasant surprise!

My only minor disappointment was the jerk sauce. There was barely a teaspoon's worth, which was a real letdown for such a tasty dish.

Despite the sauce situation, I'll be back to try the jerk chicken again, along with the goat, oxtails, and curried chicken in the future.“

“The food is amazing. I went there to get a jerk chicken sandwich for lunch. Location was a little hard to find, but well worth the effort to get to. I ordered three meals. One for lunch time, one for break time and one for supper time. I'll be back many times. Amazing.“
