11 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Lawrenceville

“My boyfriend and I were excited when Scotch Bonnet was opening a closer location since we live here in Lawrenceville. We order from here atleast once a week, the food is awesome and the staff are very sweet. I usually get the patties or oxtail sandwich, he gets the jerk chicken/pasta and its great every time. Highly recommend!“

“This is, honestly, our new favorite place to eat. The Caribbean cuisine is very influenced by Southern Indian food and it's very well-made here. The staff couldn't be nicer and remembered us on our second visit. Plus, the Caribbean soda selection is truly appreciated. I get to try something new every time.“

“Woah!!!! Talk about authentic Latin cuisine. You will not be disappointed with anything you order. We were blown away with all the flavors online our dishes. Don’t waste your money anywhere else. Don’t walk, run here! You won’t be disappointed!Parking: Parking is easy to find in the surrounding neighborhood streets, if the parking lot is full. The neighborhood is quiet and safe.“

“Best Oxtail and rice and peas that i've ever had. Even the mac and cheese is baked and delicious which is rare coming from a caribbean restaurant. whoever is back there cooking went to a very good culinary school at least I assume. Best Caribbean restaurant that I've been to so far between South Jersey and Philly.“

“I felt like some Jerk Chicken with peas and rice. This restaurant is near my place of business, and I have heard all the positive reviews. So last night I decided to UE (Uber Eats) and my order was delivered. May I tell you this food was awesome. The Jerk Chicken was so flavorful, seasoned, and juicy. The portion of the food was out of this world! Now I know what people were saying. Will definitely order again. P.S. I also ordered the Oxtails, but unfortunately, that dinner was "woofed up" so quickly could not get a minute to snap a pic .“

“10/10 in my book all day, every day! I drive 40 minutes to visit Annie and her shop! The food is so delicious. My favorites are the doubles (obviously) and the roti. On the doubles I get chicken, shrimp, and extra pepper sauce! On the roti, I usually do boneless chicken. Regardless of what you get, the food will be fresh and mouth watering! I highly recommend checking them out if you’re looking for a delicious Trinidadian restaurant!“

“The food was delicious!Basa, wings, shrimp, green beans, zucchini sticks, Mac and cheese, onion rings…yum!Going back for the blackened Basa.The amount of food is very generous. I took leftovers home for a couple more meals.Oh, and the chocolate cake ain’t bad either.“

“This is a very Good Caribbean food Originated from Jamaica ?? ?? ? ?.Lil slow with Service but worth it. I Suggest that you order ahead if time.Vegetarian options: They can make a no meat platter but if you get any sauce it will have been cooked with a meat so I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to a Vegetarian.“

“I called in late Saturday night to order jerk chicken, sadly they were out of it. No biggie. I come to this often, they instead said they could give me oxtail instead and throw in 2 free pattys. The oxtail was amazing, really tasty! The customer service at this place is 2nd to none. Absolutely amazing place! If you never around Trenton area this is a must.“

“Really enjoyed my jerk shrimp pineapple bowl but I definitely would split it with someone next time I order it. I'm giving a shout out to our waitress Olivia she was really nice and made sure at everything at everyones table was to their liking.“

“Scotch Bonnet catered my Father's celebration of life event this weekend. Niel and his team are consummate professionals and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Their efforts and amazing food contributed to making this a seamless event and ensuring that my Dad had a fitting send off. Special shout out to Ingrid and Nordia!“
