Some of the best Caribbean food I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend the Ox Tail, Jerk Chicken, Chicken Roti, and the Ginger Beer. It also just has such a homey vibe. They have games that you can play while you wait for your food. Since everything is made so fresh, wait times can be a little long, but it’s always worth it. Great spot for groups or one-on-one meals.

They provide excellent customer service and their location inside is a vibe it’s relaxing and calming.
They don’t make good curry chicken (Jamaican Style) It taste like Indian curry, and it’s not good. Then they put the current chicken and the rice in separate containers???. I did not like the curry chicken or the rice at all.

I ordered on DoorDash for pickup, arrived at the restaurant for and the waiter told me my food would be ready in 3-5mins (the restaurant was fairly empty, only one table occupied). I sat and waited for 30minutes and the waiter said nothing to me. After I started trying to make eye contact with him, he apologized and said “just one minute let me check on the order”. 10 minutes later he walks past me and says “you still haven’t got that order?!”, and goes to check on it. He then sends someone from the kitchen out with my order another 10mins later with a “Pepsi”. I asked for more than a Pepsi based on the wait time and he refused to give me anything. I walked out of the restaurant and was waiting to be picked up. He then walks out with a tiny container of plantains, said “just because we’re the same people” and handed it to me, and when I didn’t say thank you he turned around before entering the restaurant and said “not even gonna say thank you? Oh you’re one of those” and walked back into the restaurant. I will never come back to this establishment.

I got a pick up tonight. I think there was a sudden onslaught of orders and they weren’t prepared for it so it took a bit longer. I think that might also mean they prep everything fresh. The food was worth the wait though. Got the yard fowl pepper chicken and it was delicious and tender. The lemonade was fresh. The owner was kind enough to give a bottle complementary for the longer wait. Thank you for that! I would come back and order again from the store.

this is a cozy place located near Journal Square. The ambiance and the aroma of delicious caribbean food was perfect. The waitress was especially friendly. She made me and my party of 2 feel welcomed, comfortable and right at home the moment we walked in. The food was served in a timely manner, fresh and delicious. I had the shrimp Rasta Pasta with a side of cod-fish fritters. The prices were consistant with local/area prices, definitely acceptable for the quality of the dishes prepared. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for something out of the ordinary, great family place too!!

Food was great, came out quick and was steaming. The games left on the table was awesome to play for in between waits. Music choices were awesome. And the server was really nice and friendly, she was very outgoing, made recommendations and was attentive to our table and all the others too. Will definitely be back!

Super rude customer service and the chicken curry I ate was not good. It tasted very salty and my chicken was not cooked the way I requested before ordering then when asked about this the owner head chef the bald guy wanted to talk about how he has been to jail and participated in food competitions which I didn’t ask about it. Overall I would avoid this place jersey city has plenty of great food from every country

Fish was really tough ? and bland. No flavor in any of tge dish. The Cabbage could have been cooked a little more. Plantains were good. Oxtails were okay but salty. I so wanted to love this place. The atmosphere seems cool though it was early so I don't really know.

UPDATE:My opinion on how delicious the Rasta pasta is remains unchanged.My partner disputed the extra $15 with Uber, who immediately credited it back. They said they would honor the complaint after we sent a screenshot of the cost on the restaurant website (18.97 vs. $33.79), but stated that they would be contacting the restaurant to adjust their Uber settings because Uber did not add the $15 charge, and it’s the restaurant’s responsibility to adjust it because they do not collect that extra fee for themselves.Hopefully it all gets sorted soon. For $18.79, I’d used this way more often!Overall stars have been adjusted to 4/5.Original review:Delicious! Best Rasta pasta in NJ!We’ve ordered take out twice and it hasn’t disappointed.My partner got a chicken sandwich that he really liked. He said it was crispy, well-flavored, and had a nice piece of chicken. He also commented that he liked the curry chicken less, gave the curry a 3/5.I’ve ordered the Rasta pasta twice and really enjoyed it both times. I’m super particular about my Rasta pasta and this one fits the bill. It’s well seasoned, has a nice amount of yummy sauce. The only thing I’d say is that it’s $17 to add chicken, so for a $33 plate, it should be bigger. I pay that much (or less) for a family size helping of anything at any other restaurant. This dish is not shareable if you want to be satisfied.Picture is of some of my plate, as I forgot to photograph it before I went in!Definitely 4/5 on food. 3/5 overall due to excessive pricing without the amount to back it up.

The food was decent but the wait had me baffled based on the empty dining room. 10$ Watered down Sorrel drink was the kicker. A little detail like gravy on the rice goes a long way to hit the spot but I was denied that since the order was wrong. The wings were tasty (5) and the (5) Shrimp on the pasta hit the spot. No cabbage on a Wednesday evening is laughable for a side that should be a staple. I’m left wondering whats going on in the kitchen. 60$! Read other reviews about the watered down drinks and it hasn’t been fixed. $7 for plantains?! Wonder how long this place can stay in business?? Good luck!

I had such a great experience at FRP and so did the rest of my party. The atmosphere was very welcoming. We felt right at home. The waitress Yvonne was so attentive and Egan was very informative about the dishes which made it easy for us to choose our entrees. When the food came everything was hot and the presentation was excellent. We all really enjoyed our food. I had the wings which were so juicy. Two in party had oxtail which was perfectly seasoned and was falling off the bone. And the rasta pasta was enjoyed by friend who loves spicy food. Their fresh drinks were so good the ginger, Sorrel limeade was a perfect mix. Overall this was a great experience I'll definitely be back.
