“My favorite Caribbean restaurant in the area“

“This is more of a takeout spot. There are a few chairs where you can sit but it’s a pretty small venue. The wait time was long and they were busy but the food was AMAZING! So flavorful and truly authentic Haitian cuisine. They have variety in the menu and tons of items to choose from with photos so you can see what it looks like before you order.“

“Acho que não estamos falando da mesma.Meson Tropical!! Essa ficava em Vila Isabel no Rio.de Janeiro !! e já fechou !Era uma casa de festas !! mto bonita !!“

“Easily the best restaurant bar combo in the town. Walkable distance from the NYC bus and USRB venue. They change their menu with the seasons, so follow them on social media for updates. Otherwise, I’ll try my best to update this review with updated menus.“

“the staff is excellent nahum end sulma yarixa the guy who helps you select the food for the bowl is amazing. also the manager at night is also very sweet! great environment! food is amazing. they also have specials and also can get points. the service is above and beyond“

“I would say please make sure you are handling your chicken correctly. After eating your delicious chicken (at least one time) I felt like I experienced a bout of food poisoning. Unfortunately, I can't eat here anymore, I don't know if the food is being handled properly.“

“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.“

“Five stars doesn't feel like enough! We hired this team to cater a very special celebration, and they delivered!

From day one, the whole process was a joy. The menu consultations with Chanice were genuinely fun and so helpful, and the tasting? Let's just say we were already obsessed before the event even happened. On top of that, the administrative side was incredibly smooth and stress-free, a huge deal when you're planning an event!

On event day, Debbie and the team showed up and absolutely delivered. The food was stunning, and our guests were RAVING.

The icing on the cake? The honoree—the whole reason for the celebration—was very happy. That made everything worth it. We will 100% be back!“

“I just happened to be in the area and spotted YUPP as I turned on the street corner where it was prominently situated. I spoke to Abigail for a bit about the different flavors and she did not disappoint. They definitely concentrated on the flavors first so they did not deviate from the authenticity of the Jamaican taste. The regular beef was great, so that set the tone for trying the other flavors. I especially loved the Curry Chicken, the Oxtail and the Goat. Can’t wait to try the other flavors. I will definitely buy again! Abigail is great!“

“Drinks and music is great“

“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.“

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

“Stopped in for a takeout order. We had the jerk chicken combo and jerk shrimp combo with rice & peas, plantains and cabbage and collards. We also added a side of Mac & Cheese Au Gratin (so good!), plus a buch of different sauces. Food was excellent and servings are very generous.“

“Los mejores en todo amboy 💪💪💪💪“

“The Food is Fantastic and creative.“

“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! 🥰“

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

“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“

“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.“

“10 stars all the way. As a police officer in desire of quality Caribbean food, I found my satisfaction in this restaurant. The owner Keith greeted me politely right away. He helped me with my food selection and politely explained all the items on the menu that I could choose from. I appreciated the fact that the establishment is clean, orderly, spacious, and welcoming. The staff were diligently were working along with the owner.
The food I ordered was curry goat, cook up rice, vegetables and a side of spice. I was full and satiated. I can’t wait to go back and want to bring my Caribbean friends there. Let it be known I visited three other places that were not as prepared to serve and feed people prior to my arrival to this specific place. I am glad that I didn’t settle and arrived at this location. Coming back very soon!“

“Have been trying this place for a while now, and must say, O Cookshop, is pretty damn good. My favorite is their, Rasta Pasta, and their Oxtails. In this specific review, I had ordered their, Large Oxtails, w/ Rasta Pasta, & Cabbage, and a side of, Mac n Cheese. The oxtails are extremely flavorful, can have a bit of fatty pieces sometimes, but the oxtails are cooked until tender, and they overall work well into the gravy. Their Rasta Pasta is fantastic too. Al dente noodles, and the sauce has such nice Alfredo flavoring with a bit of a kick. The cabbage is cooked to a nice crispness and is always a pleasant addition to any combination you can come up with. Not to mention their, Mac n Cheese. It is so damn good. It’s creamy, but still has that Baked Mac structure to it, it is also seasoned well too. Absolutely love this place. I’d highly recommend, O Cookshop, to anyone in the, East Orange, area and looking for some terrific, Caribbean food.“

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

“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 ✌️“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“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!“

“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...??????“

“This used to be a good place to get take out! Now the quality of the food has gone very low. They serve cold leftovers from the day before. The food taste like crap!!! You don’t get what you pay for at all. There is no parking!! You will get a ticket also.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this restaurant. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a clean and comfortable setting that made it easy to relax. The chef were friendly, attentive, and made sure I felt welcome from the moment I walked in. The food was delicious, highly recommended“

“I ordered a fish cake and bake and salt fish, the food was absolutely delicious, they did not skim on salt fish in the bake and the fish cake was so fresh not a lot of filler, lots of fish, the customer service was sweet, I will definitely go back❤️“

Greetings from Aniel en Santa from Amsterdam!“

“I had the opportunity to visit this restaurant during their grand opening, and I was pleasantly surprised! I originally stopped by just to grab some food, but when I walked in, I discovered they have a beautiful indoor dining area as well as outdoor seating, which made the experience even better.

The food was absolutely delicious, and the portions were generous—you definitely get your money’s worth. They also had the World Cup game playing, which created a fun, lively atmosphere.

One thing that really stood out to me was that they served the meal on real plates with real silverware. It may seem like a small detail, but it made the dining experience feel much more welcoming and elevated.

Overall, I had a great experience from start to finish. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food, excellent portions, and a comfortable place to sit and enjoy your meal, I highly recommend stopping by and supporting this new local business. Wishing them continued success!“

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

We hosted a birthday party there and it was everything! The food is amazing, though a little spicier than I like. They make the best juices in town! The customer service is great. The owner is absolutely amazing! She is nice, professional and very generous. We look forward to hosting at this place again very soon.“

“Great pastries. Wonderful staff .I tried the chicken foot and pig tail bean stew with white rice and it is delicious. Will definitely get me more in the future. The restaurant is now called Genesis with new owners but the food is still very good. Lots of “

“I’ve order for the past two days the chicken and beef soup because I’ve been sick. It is some of the best Jamaican soup I’ve had in awhile that’s really good besides home ?. I appreciate you guys reaching out for my Uber eats order letting me know that it was going to be awhile. The little things always count and go a long way. I will definitely continue to order and try different things on the menu and refer you all to people who are looking for some top quality Jamaican eats. Bless up.“
