“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“Oxtails, j*** wings, Rasta pasta es muy bueno. Cabbage, collards, rice and peas are great compliments to the mains..Prices are extremely reasonable and staff makes everyone feel welcome“

“Tonight, the incredible NYC dining experiences continued at Kabawa -- the ridiculously delicious Caribbean inspired restaurant on the lower East side. 🔥

As remarkable as I look, the hospitality was top-tier -- the kind of service that feels like family. I really could eat there monthly, it was so relaxed, comforting, and delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“fine dining at its best 👌“

“Very impressed since they was decorating the place. I was passing by every day till they finally open and I desire to try the food, I was curious and also I’m not a vegan person. When I finally try that food I just got in shock. Super tasty, delicious, the Trinidad and Dominican Republic flavors- was so down the earth. So thankful to have them at the neighborhood, the service is excellent and Yesenia and her employees super professionals. The ambiance and decoration soo relaxing- I love the food and the service, how they welcome you, is hard to find a place like that. Highly recommended to everyone- vegan or not vegan- 🥗 the talent is there and I wish them success- nice location, sparkling clean - if you are looking for good food - this is your spot-“

“Great service, Great food“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“My cousin and I loved our experience, as this was our first time trying the food here. I'm not a take pictures of the food person, but the sweet plantain gnocchi and braised oxtails were amazing. I enjoyed the suya rib eye and espresso martini as well.

The vibe of the restaurant is super chill, we sat upstairs and the energy was great for a Friday night in Brooklyn.

Danielle and Jelani made our evening amazing with their service and we will definitely be back!“

“Beautiful place Great food and Great Drink's and the staff is excellent.“

“Ive been to Negril twice and they continue to blow me away with the great vibes, EXCELLENT food, and reallly interesting and fun drinks. I mean, if you wanna have a good night come here. You literally cant go wrong with anything on the menu but personally the jerk chicken pasta is still in my dreams. And our server Renae went above and beyond. She even shared the history of ackee and i thought that was so nice and gave us some to try with our meal. I mean i will 1000% be back.“

“Great local spot with great vibes, food and drink. Creative fusion as well. Luv the Oxtail Dumplings and Braised Rib Bao Buns!!!“

“The food is amazing. The jerk hash is so flavorful. The shrimp and grits…amazing. But the ginger fish…omg, next time I’m in New York I’m definitely coming back for that. The service was great too. The staff were a vibe. The DJ was also amazing. The way he mixed his sets were otherworldly.“

“Stopped by randomly, around 9pm. Nuff a the food were finished(sold out) but we got the pepper steak w/rice&peas and raw vegetables (shredded carrots and cabbage,love it!) and sweet chilie wings w/rice and peas. Firstly, rice and peas can eat by itself! Well nice!! She wanted oxtail but it was basically done but server(wish i got her name) gave us the few small pieces with the gravy to her rice. Looking forward to trying their curry goat. Represent Jamaican food lovely, support!!“

“The food was delicious, the only reason I did not give it five stars because there two burnt
Oxtails in the bunch. Oxtails are now $5.000.00 dollars. There is no such thing as burnt oxtails when you
Paying money to the restaurant to prepare and cook. I purchased the largest meal I could find. Instead of getting rid of it you put the burnt meat on my plate . I was so busy admiring the place I didn’t see the man put the burnt meat on my plate for
My take out order. Next time I will keep close watch if I decide to come back
Or not. That burnt meat disturbs the taste . Next time I will keep close watch. The rice even smelled burnt thanks to those burnt up pieces of meat. Jerk chicken was good Mac n cheese good. Nice and clean establishment . The end“

“Great food! Big portions, finger-lickin good“

“Food was Amazing location is great weather on perfect day definitely feel like I’m back home inside is also spectacular dining area“

“I was unfamiliar with this restaurant, but my husband received a gift card from his colleagues at his retirement party. We came for Valentine's Day and were very pleased with the choice! We started with Old Fashioned and Fried Green Tomatoes. Perfect batter and crunch. The bacon jam gave the perfect amount of bite. Mr. TSwi had fish (sorry - no photo). I had the garlic clove stuffed filet. It was fork-tender and so delicious. Potatoes fried in tallow butter were decadent. We had the Bread Pudding for dessert - and the leftover for breakfast Sunday morning. Overall, great value for the quality of the food. Not ridiculously expensive. Not ostentatious (TSwi wore jeans and a blazer and was well-dressed compared to others.) We will look forward to coming back again soon.“

“It’s become really hard to find consistently good jerk chicken these days. A lot of my former favorite spots have fallen off and with food like this, you can tell when the love and effort aren’t there anymore.
That said, this place absolutely nailed it. The jerk chicken was a home run perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The rice and peas and the sides were just as impressive. If I lived closer, I’d honestly eat here every day. That’s how good it is.

The only small negatives were the packaging and the limited sauce, but truthfully, the chicken didn’t even need much extra. Overall, this spot is a definite hit.“

“Oxtail was a 10/10, absolutely amazing, and all the sides were great. I wasn’t a big fan of the brown stew chicken (the chicken itself was a bit dry), but the stew was rich and flavorful.
The atmosphere was perfect for a date night or a calm dinner. The owner’s wife even stopped by to let us know they have jazz on some Fridays and weekends, which was a really nice touch. They’re still new, so please be kind — but the FOOD WAS GOOD.We also tried the mango mint non-alcoholic drink, which was refreshing and delicious. Definitely worth checking out!“

“My husband and I are regular customers. I thought, what better place to celebrate my.. twin sister and | 50th birthday party at our. favorite spot. And so we did! The dinner party turned out wonderful! The staff was professional and friendly. The decor was beautiful. The food was delicious! Thank you Drips for making our night so special!

““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨‍🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥“

“Try the codfish cakes. Scrumptious! Curry is always good and oxtails are braised perfectly. The food is savory and seasoned well. Love the comfort on the restaurant, great place to try out some Antigua cuisine. The menu has American food also. I highly recommend Cafe Metro.“

“Excelente lugar para compartir en familia , rica comida“

“We ordered a pretty large takeout order and the food was incredible! My Dominican and Mexican parents can be really picky so we were really nervous. They loved the Moro and yucca in particular. All the meats were really good and our favorite was the pork and ropa vieja. The only thing (not well pictured) we weren’t a fan of was the tamale but one thing out of so much hardly bothered us. Stuffed avocados with shrimp ceviche will be something I always remember. Delivered with care and I’m sure we will order in the future again.“

“This is THE spot. Jerk chicken is some of the best I've ever had. There's a good char that's smokey and flavorful without any bitterness. The spice is a warm heat with the right amount of sweet. Rice and peas cooked incredibly well, not dry at all. And the cabbage is perfectly tender not mushy. There patties are low-key solid. Curry Chicken is a bit better than the beef in my opinion opinion. But the crust on all is flakey and the filling is flavorful with good spice.

I've tried the fried chicken and macaroni both good but not worth getting. I just got for the jerk chicken platter and patties“

“Popped in for some food after hitting the pool - everything was so fresh. I got the fritura and was blessed with a massive portion of fried, fresh, incredible meats, cheese, and plantains. The chicken was so moist and juicy, the chicharron was deeply flavorful and had me floored; truly so fresh, tasted like a mama made it for me. My partner got the pernil and it was also incredible. 10/10!!!“

“I recently visited Ripe Kitchen & Bar near the Bronx, and it turned out to be a really memorable dining experience. The restaurant has a warm, intimate atmosphere with dim lighting and a relaxed island vibe that makes the place feel cozy and unique.

The food focuses on authentic Jamaican and Caribbean flavors, and everything I tried was rich and satisfying. One of the standout dishes was the jerk ribeye steak, which is actually one of the restaurant’s most popular items. The seasoning had a great smoky jerk flavor that paired perfectly with the tender meat.

The drinks were also a highlight. Their rum punch and tropical cocktails complemented the food really well and added to the overall Caribbean atmosphere. The menu includes other favorites like oxtail, jerk chicken, and Rasta pasta, giving plenty of flavorful options to choose from.

Service felt friendly and relaxed, and the whole place had a lively neighborhood feel. Overall, Ripe Kitchen & Bar is a great spot if you’re looking for bold Caribbean cuisine, strong cocktails, and a laid-back island vibe just outside New York City. I’d definitely come back again.“

“Me and my large family had dinner at this restaurant to honor my fathers heavenly birthday. It was truly the best experience I've had at a restaurant in a very very long time and it was thanks to our waiter Jesus. He was very attentive and helpful. He saw that we had small children and helped us with their order first and then proceeded to take the rest of our orders. He really loved his job and was very warm and kind. The establishment as a whole is very nice and classy. Very grown and sexy. The music is perfect and the food was very good! The oxtail Lo Mein was so good. Its located inside Hotel Indigo, to the right after entering. I really really loved this experience. Thank you so much. I'll be back with my girlfriends or on a date❤️🙏🏽 A new staple spot for me.“

“If you’re in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, and craving a culinary adventure that blends the bold flavors of the Caribbean with the savory delights of the Mediterranean, look no further than Lyndhurst Jerk & Gyro Spot. This vibrant eatery offers an unforgettable eating experience, marked by mouthwatering dishes, warm hospitality, amazing music, and a welcoming atmosphere. The flavors are explosive.“

“The beautiful surroundings make dining more pleasurable. The dishes taste great, service flows smoothly, and everyone shows friendliness. The team creates an atmosphere where everyone belongs. This restaurant always exceeds my food expectations. I plan to eat here again and tell others about it.“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“Just an Asian guy commenting. Been to Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Atalanta, and this place is up there in terms of flavor and texture. Wings are amazing. So surprised of wings, hit the spot. Mac and collard greens will satisfy as well. But wings are 🫰🏼🫰🏼“

“My husband loves getting breakfast here when he is going to work. The food taste delicious and the staff is very polite. They offer jamaican cuisine. You can get curry chicken back, jerk chicken, fish, goat, oxtail, rice and peas, white rice, boiled food/ ground provision, steamed and fresh veggies, baked goods, festival, fritters, soup and porridge. This morning I got steamed calaloo & saltfish with fried dumplings and plantains. Hubby got white rice and curry chicken back. The restaurant can get a little crowdy and you may have to wait a few minutes to be served, but it's worth the wait. Also there is no parking lot available but you can find parking on the street easily. They also sell freshly squeeze juice. Overall I highly recommend them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.“

“The stores inside this mall. For as long as I know, since I was a kid back in the 70s, I may be a little bit more until now. The restaurants, the stores the other stores that are there too. They're pretty good and especially the guys that does the tailor day at the tongue.I'm not expensive“

The atmosphere has a great ambiance, the space is very clean, the staff were VERY kind too. However… our food tasted AMAZING! I will most definitely be coming back here again. I should’ve ordered more food to take home with me honestly.“
