Always so sweet and attentive and the food is sooo good. I’m from Brooklyn so finding a good oxtail in the city is a gem and very rare! Wishing sancia and the whole team all the best!!!!“

“I came here for the first time for brunch with my fiance. We didn't make a reservation but we were seated instantly.. I would highly encourage making reservations as there were multiple events happening there and we were lucky to get in on a walk-in LOL. The wait staff was very friendly. We had nice conversations and She was attentive. My fiance ordered that oxtail Rasta pasta which was amazing. And I got the chicken and red velvet waffles which was also very good. I liked his dish more though LOL. We also ordered the ackee and saltfish patties. I love that concept. It was creative and very good. I ordered the rum punch( potent and delicious) while my fiance had the bottomless brunch drinks for 1 hour. It included either a screwdriver or a mimosa. The difference if you would like to know is one is vodka and orange juice. The other is champagne and orange juice. We preferred the vodka LOL. Really nice Restaurant. atmosphere was beautiful music on point we were jamming out. We had such a great time. Amazing vibes. Highly highly, highly recommend and will definitely be returning.“

“I’m a Trini living in Bronx and love to eat a good roti and I’ve have been going to Queens from
Bronx in search of it for years. I found this from a Google search and it’s near to where I live and I am 100% content! Nice big portion, lots of meat and SUPER tasty. This is my new home for roti in NYC hands down ?“

“This is my second time eating here and the food was ?. There are so many choices including chimi, mofongo, soup, wings etc... I got stewed chicken with white rice, pigeon beans and tostones with garlic sauce. I enjoyed everything and the service once again was very friendly and accommodating. ??“

“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.

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“I recently visited Country Kitchen, and it was just okay. The food was decent, but nothing really stood out as amazing. The service was fine, but the overall experience didn’t leave a strong impression. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for something casual, but I think there are other spots in the area that offer a bit more in terms of flavor and atmosphere.“

“Very nice restaurant I recommend 🥰“

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“This is my go to for over a decacade! All my friends from carnivore to vegans love this spot 🥳. Vegetable plate, jerk chicken, oxtail, goat - all phenomenal😍“

“This is my go to place when I have a large group to entertain. Our server was great and very professional but very personable as well. I ordered a coconut mojito and it was literally a glass of ice with a drop of coconut and a sugar stick that had seen better days. I told our server it was terrible and I got another one it was still awful and I couldn't drink it. It was very disappointing since I've had them before and they were good. Our food was great and we celebrated my friend's birthday with a special dessert . They need a new bartender those drinks were terrible! I shouldn't had to pay for those drinks but I was charged anyway. I'll have to think twice about going back“

“love that place, to the moon & back“

“Really good food! Would recommend and return! Friendly staff too! 5 stars!“

We ALL enjoyed our food! It's definitely authentic Caribbean food! The jerk was delicious!! Everything was delicious. We wish this was in VA lol. We will definitely be returning here when we visit again.“

“Absolutely one of the best jerk chicken lunch I’ve ever had in years. My mother ate their Oxtail stew dish and it was delicious too. Full flavoured food with excellent quality & portion. Friendly helpful staff are also welcoming. I bought the fried whiting fish fillets and some fried chicken wings to take home. Will definitely be back again to eat all the other dishes! Yummy ? proper jerk chicken with rice & beans that were moist not dry like other places we’ve tried in Manhattan.

He is a kind man and I see a few reviews of people saying he’s rude and miserable and that is Not true at all. Wonderful food and service. I will be back with my food pics ?“

“By far one of THE best roti spots in NYC yes I tired the others and can’t compete with the warm smiles and services at this place but a even warmer doubles dough and perfect combination of tang and spice if you choose to add the sauces / after that the rest is history the beef / succulent savory huge chucks the chicken the same way.

“Being an older Hispanic woman I don’t really eat outside. I was raised to eat at home. I walked by and was given a flyer by the owners daughter. I came back later on and decided to try. I tried the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. The food was rich in flavor . The service was exceptional and the owner was very friendly. I will definitely be returning.“

“I always buy at this restaurant, but today was special. The curry chicken back was finger licking good. The chicken soup was also good. I wish you guys were closer to me at 241st. I highly recommend you guys. Keep up the good work and blessings always.“

“This was my first time trying their food. I had the Curry Chicken lunch and dumplings (they were tasty after I reheated them). The CC, sweet plantain and cabbage were good! But I don't know why Jamaican restaurants only give you a table spoon of cabbage 😁. The rice was okay but a little dry even with gravy. The serve J. was nice!“

“The best Guyanese Chinese you would find in the Bronx! Their fried rice is always made to perfection! Their specialty items are all a hit (side note: my favorite is their oxtail eggrolls) and their homemade pepper sauce, lawwddddd!!! Delicious!!!!“

“Best Latin food in Harlem! The service and quality are impeccable. The catering experience with them is always consistent and nothing short of first class. I highly recommend La Flor to everyone seeking to have an awesome dining experience and catering services.“

“The food is spectacular, I was looking for a spot I can plate my own food, and here it goes, I got a scoop Mac and cheese, vegetable medley, oxtails, curry goat, sweet potatoes , plantains, and threw fried shrimps ? which are 1$/piece. And it came out to 19.50. when I tell u I tore that whole platter up! Lol everything was on point! Will definitely go back. Srry for no pic I ate it up. ?“
