“The food was delicious and the atmosphere A+. This little spot in the heart of Linden is the place to go when you want some delicious and comforting food.“

“My favorite Caribbean restaurant in the area“

“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.“

“The Food is Fantastic and creative.“

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

“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.“

“Hot Pot Caribbean restaurant is the place to go when your taste buds are calling for a good Jamaican dish. Highly recommend!“

“It's a small location on Oak Street and the food can be smelled from miles away. Once you enter, you'll see why there's a line and once you taste the food, you'll want to go back. The oxtail, the curried goat, the jerk chicken and the fried chicken are simply done right. They're delectable and flavorful. One of the main things I appreciate is, they're warm and inviting. You don't get a bad attitude from them. One last thing, I've never in my life heard of oxtail soup and it was phenomenal 😋“

“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...??????“

“Love the vibes and the music is great.“

“The food was absolutely immaculate! 😍 I had the cow foot and fried chicken combo for 20 bucks on DoorDash it was cooked to perfection !!! tender, flavorful, and full of that authentic taste I love. Every bite was amazing. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to! 👏🏾✨ big up the chef and entire team . Blessings .“

“Excellent Food and an asset to the community of Roselle.“

“I have been looking for Mac and Cheese in this area for DAYS!!! So many places have disappointed me but this plate actually had SOUL. A medium plate of jerk chicken, rice and collard greens cost me about $18, but you can tell by the long lines that the food is worth it. The pair are patient and friendly. Support your local black owned businesses! 10/10 will have again.“

“I ordered a LARGE oxtail w rice & peas w extra gravy. They gave me a lot of meat and gravy. The oxtail pieces were small but plentiful. I did ask for mac & cheese but they didn’t have it that day. The customer service was OK. Watch my video review on TIK TOK: Safiya Lin“

“Excellent Food and an asset to the community of Roselle.“

“Impressed by the indoor fire pit. I ordered the jerk salmon and peas and rice. I usually have left overs the next day. I’ve been eating on this tray all night! It’s that good! No left overs. I’m so excited to find a place with good food. Ever since I gave up mast (one year today), my options have been extremely limited. 10/10 recommended!“

“This place has in this town for 28 years, there is a reason why they have been around so long. The owner is this wonderful sweet lady that, she is definitely Jamaican be a those Pattie’s hit different. The oxtails are succulent and falls off the bones, the plantain’s are sweet and crispy on the edges. If you’re looking for delicious Jamaica food go here, always call before you go because she starts cooking in the morning and at times the food isn’t ready until after 12pm but it’s very much worth the wait. ????The prices are very reasonable but those Pattie’s are to die for.“

“Last week was the first time in this place. But It is absolutely not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the generous service, with the magnificent cooking and wine and with the friendly cost. We will definitely go back there again.“

“Every plate is great. Take home as well with your meal. Beef patty Cocoa Bread with cheese and eat it later. You'll love it. I'm getting one tomorrow.

Vegetarian options: They make it.

Dietary restrictions: Everything is healthy there. All great options.

Parking: Pick a spot where you can park. You'll find it.

Kid-friendliness: Yes. Kids can play freely.

Wheelchair accessibility: Go right in.“

“Ordered curry chicken very flavorful and good portion for ten bucks I will return Restaurants are getting killed their costs have doubled since covid“

“I have alwayssss ordered from this restaurant and is the only place I’ll order from for Jamaican food. The portion size for the price is very generous. *UPDATE* Coming back just to say, this place is SOOOO good, I’ve been coming here since college 4 years ago. It’s the closest to tasting like home. The owner cooks everything himself and he is so nice! I recently tried them for catering my birthday party and it all came out fresh, plentiful, and delicious. I have two bulk orders with then so far and you literally cannot find better pricing anywhere else + they are on time every time. If you want truly authentic, fresh off the island taste. Please come here!“

“Excellent food service. Food is excellent, cleanliness and friendly staff fast service 😋😋“

“I rarely write reviews . I’m originally from Brooklyn ny and I’m very picky for Caribbean food so I was VERY apprehensive on getting Caribbean food outside of ny . I’ve had several bad experiences . I have waited two years to find a great spot and this restaurant nailed it ! When I ordered it was HOT/fresh and flavored ! The juices are soo natural and fresh ! You guys are doing a great job !“

“Very great food worth the wait. And will come again..“

“I love this place. The food is always hot and fresh. Every time I have come to this restaurant I was pleased with the food served. The part that keeps me coming back is not just the food. One morning, I got there at the time of opening. There was a woman praying and she would not open that door til she finished her prayer. Then she proceeded to wipe the place down with Florida. I am not Christian but, I respect that highly. This restaurant is also extremely clean. No matter what time I come into this restaurant, it is always clean. Always. It is best to come when you are not in a rush.“

“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.“

“I Seen the owner making a Chicken. salad For herself that looked really good so I decided to order one the next day. I now call it the Sherene salad. It was delicious. 😋 I am definitely going to order another one.“

“Great sensitive and empathetic customer service.“

“my go to for great authentic soul food 😊👌🏾.“
