“The joy I’m feeling as I type this review is indescribable. FINALLY, I have found a PROPER Jamaican restaurant with PROPER JERK food and for a reasonable price. The chef is in the back GRILLINGGGGG that meat- oxtail, chicken, goat meat, beef ribs. Meat, that I as a Jamaican, never imagined could be jerked, they jerk and it’s delicious. The flavors and the tender meat- just wow. SB: If you dont like sauce, just be sure to ask for some on the side because they automatically put it on there.

This is literally a gem in for the state of NJ for sure. I’m telling ya’ll, I have been to MANYYYYY restaurants and the jerk is always baked. People are out here eating baked chicken, calling it jerk and NO THANKS. If you want real, authentic, Jamaican jerk, this is the place to go. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I wish I had pictures to attach but, it’s gone, finished, and eaten lol“

“Bought doubles and a curry chicken wrap roti and this was ones of the best tasting wrap rotis I've had in awhile. The curry itself and the inside condiments were flavorful and very tasty. The doubles as well was very good. Only tried these 2 items but I'm sure the rest of the menu items are just as delicious. Would definitely recommend and would be going back.“

“My husband and I went here after monster jam, saw that it was within waking distance of the prudential center and we decided to go check it out.This restaurant is beautifully decorated! There were many places to take photos, a lovely seating area with comfortable pillows, and there was a wall of fame of various Caribbean Islands. It smelled fresh and clean inside and you can see the staff takes great care of their restaurant. The food!!! Jessum peace!!! The food was excellent! I ordered the stew chicken with rice and peas and Mac n cheese. My husband ordered curry goat with white rice and veggies. We eat had a beef patty as a starter. The patties dem taste like bak ah yard! The Curry goat was like something we would find at a 9 night back in Jamaica and the stew chicken was very flavorful. I didn't want the meal to end. We ordered food to take home with us to eat during the snow storm. The meal brought my husband to tears giving him a nostalgic feeling of home. We will return again!“

“Was walking by and saw A&J Caribbean Taste. I just had to go in and see what they had. It was like home! They had a wide range of food and I was so excited I asked for a sample of it all lol. DELICIOUS. Further, it was super generous of the server to accommodate my request. My favorite was the oxtail though all dishes were delicious. If you're missing GOOOOD Caribbean food and want a variety - and not have to wait for food preparation - this is a must visit. Compliments to the chef. This will now be one of my go-to spots whenever I come to my Newark Office.“

“I grew up on Jamaican beef patty but these patties are not a snack they are a whole meal. These patties are exploding with meat or your favorite stuffing like ackee and salt fish. You will not be disappointed. Come to Y.U.P.P. for the ultimate patty experience.“

“Very good food very good vibe’s one of the best places en Perth amboy“

“Drinks and music is great“

“Stopped by during the Rahway Arts Festival. Fantastic food!!! Fresh, flavorful and delicious! I had the fried fish and my daughter had the curry chicken empanadas. She later went back to get the Jerk Chicken empanadas. Highly recommend!“

“The food is amazing. I'm a huge fan“

“They make real jerk chicken! ON THE GRILL! Tasted it with one meal and I bought more to take home so my family know it’s the real deal… definitely coming back and often 😇 additionally! They have 2 very friendly cashiers/servers which is usually hard to find. Met the owner and he also seems to be a nice guy… I don’t write reviews often unless I received bad service but today it is the opposite! People nice and food nicer! 🥰“

“This food is definitely worth the money and you get what you pay for....5 STARS“

“First of all (Doing my happy dance-while eating) it doesn’t make no sense how ON POINT my food is right now. Grant it this is my first time eating at this restaurant (at work and needed something to eat and it was across the street) but this cabbage and carrots (has a light sweet-spice) taste like gold. Rice and peas are cooked to purrrrrrfection!!!!!! Lets talk about the Curry Chicken ? (BABY) I normally do not eat curry chicken because it’s messy and it never speaks to my stomach and soul but FINALLY “I’M IN L❤️VE.” New customer for the life of your store front (Right here). Let me finish eating my food.Don’t forget to try to Pineapple Ginger drink !!!! BYE ✌️“

“The Food is Fantastic and creative.“

“I ordered catering from Jerkies for my husband’s birthday dinner, and the food was a hit! Everything arrived hot, fresh, and right on time. From the perfectly seasoned jerk chicken to the sweet plantains, every dish was delicious. Jerkies definitely did not disappoint!“

“The best! This place is a staple in Elizabeth. At Two Brothers, you get the real American breakfast experience. What a wonderful feeling to walk back to my little breakfast joint and to enjoy this guys’s cooking. Thank you for the love you put into this. I love your business!“

“I rarely leave reviews but it’s definitely warranted when I do. Customer service was great. They answered my emails fast and kept me updated throughout my shipment progress. I was skeptical to order off of their site initially because there were no reviews but I am happy to be the first. I will definitely order again and let others know of this site!“

“Los mejores en todo amboy 💪💪💪💪“

“This place is definitely one of the best restaurants in the area. Whenever I go there I am truly pleased. They keep their very high standard service and the highest level of food they provide. You always win with this place. Very recommended.“

“Took a friend of mine here for the cow foot soup and he Loved it ...now he saying he should have gotten 2 soups so he could have had one for his 6 hour trip down the highway...Curry goat was excellent and soup superb...Thank You Mr R...??????“

“I went here and tried their oxtails and rice and peas, which the oxtails was so fatty for $25. The Rasta pasta with your chicken was delicious. The chicken was so juicy and tasteful. The mac & cheese was OK out of 5 I’ll give it a 3 it is better than a lot of Jamaican restaurants that sell mac & cheese. They do not know how to cook mac & cheese but all I all theirs was ok.

The fried chicken was OK. And I also ordered my Aunt oxtails and rice and beans which my total came up to $100. Plus I got two of a juices for eight dollars which I did not like so $16 went down the drain. The oxtails were flavorful but super fatty. How are you selling small fatty oxtails for $25 with so much fat on them is ridiculous to me. Overall, I will give this place a 4 out of 5. The only reason why they’re not getting a five is because I did not appreciate those oxtails being fatty.“

“Great food and atmosphere I recommend this place to everyone I work with. I'm becoming their best customer lol“

“I visited Sashey's for the first time on April 23 and I must say the food I ordered (curry goat with rice and peas and a brown stew fish) was excellent! In addition, the customer service was on point. I definitely will return again. Take my word, if you want good, authentic Jamaican food, Sashey's is the place.“

“The food was very delicious and well prepared. The rice was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and fresh. The salad tasted great, fresh and well seasoned, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The portion size was good, the presentation was clean, and the service was fast.
I highly recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The place is clean and beautiful, with a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and professional, and the service was fast and efficient.“

“My go to place in the morning for breakfast! The owner Keith is super nice and friendly, he introduced me to their Baked & Salt fish, and I have been hooked on it ever since!
I also love walking into this establishment early in the morning, they are always playing Gospel music and it’s the best way to start the day!“

“Best Roti ever stewed fish and curry chicken hands down get the sorrel too“

“First time trying Bones Kitchen and I must say the Jerk Pork is Delightful.....Authentic, I definitely will be returning😋“

“I’m so happy I came across this Jamaican restaurant! Every dish here is freshly prepared. Not sure who the chef is here, but give that man a raise! Lol….authentic Jamaican food is definitely a big plus for this location. They give you many options aside from their famous rice and peas with a side of chicken. They also have a variety of soups on their menu. Their prices are very fair and for that reason I will definitely be back, and this time for some good ol’ oxtails! The establishment is very clean, and the staff is very polite. Only bad thing I can say is, why didn’t I come here sooner!!!! Guys keep up the great work. You’ve gained a repeat customer. I will be sure to let everyone I know about MacKariba Kitchen!“

“Great food and good people. Waitresses and customers. Good music Especially when the conga player is there“

“best in town ,plus affordable“

“I'm not from NJ, but I accidentally drove 40 mns to this place because I was craving haitian food. All I can say is I was not disappointed!
It started with their customer service, because when I realized how far it was and wanted to cancel, they offered to drive it to me, which I declined but was nice of them nonetheless.
The food was fresh, super delicious and on the large order, they give you enough food to feed you twice. The macaroni salad was great, duri djondjon was awesome and the Tasso kabrit was excellent. If you're in Irvington or close by, this is one spot that I'd definitely recommend!“

“I fell in love with their food from the first time and had to come back today with my family. The curry chicken roti down to the stew chicken plate and baked Mac & cheese! chefs kiss ❤️ The server is so sweet and welcoming, she makes the ordering process so smooth. God bless her ??
I definitely recommend anyone to try their food. I can’t forget the chef with her blessed hands. ???“
