50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Lyndhurst

“Stopped in here shortly before closing and they were still super gracious and willing to feed us. We had the kebab platter and the spinach pie and it was amazing! We are definitely adding this to our order out options! Looking forward to trying the jerk chicken wings on our next try bc they happened to be out of those tonight.“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“Beautiful place Great food and Great Drink's and the staff is excellent.“

“Love this location!!! It’s closer to home. Originally went to the 56tg location for lunch on work. Sancia who used to work at that location is now at 57th and I jsut love her. Always so sweet and attentive and the food is sooo good. I’m from Brooklyn so finding a good oxtail in the city is a gem and very rare! Wishing sancia and the whole team all the best!!!!“

“Great service, Great food“

“The food was accepted for the mac and cheese it had no flavor and was very stiff. Jerk chicken as delicious, rasta pasta was delicious but spicy(i don't east spice, so my tolerance is low).The festival is delicious, especially hot. Rice was okay. I love the cabbage and I normally don't eat cabbage. The girl who took the order was super nice, as well as the guy making the chicken. Will go back for sure. Not really a place to dine in unless they have a separate location because I didn't see it.“

“I came across this place as I was walking up 9th Street soon as I walked in the music was great very inviting drinks very generous!!! I will definitely be having either brunch lunch or dinner here!!!“

“I stopped by for lunch because I was craving something hearty. I ordered the Rasta pasta and mango habinero wings - SOOOOOO GOOD!

if your looking for some authentic Jamaican food this is the spot
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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.“

“Ate here for the first time with my sisters, and we had a fantastic experience. Our server, cherrylynn, gave us a run down of the menu and was very attentive. We had the jerked chicken wings and yuca fries and were in love. Would be dining here again“

“I grew up eating Jamaican food and this is hands down the best Jamaican restaurant that I’ve been to in Brooklyn! The food is consistently delicious and made to order — no food sitting out on a heater waiting for someone to order. I’ve had the jerk shrimp, curry shrimp roti, jerk salmon, and other items and the food is always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. They sell juices and cake which are also amazing. I’ve been going here once a week since the pandemic started and I’m always so excited to get my food. The owner is amazing and is dedicated to always providing five star service and food.“

“I've been here several times but, this was the first time I asked for veggie paella & asked them to add shrimp °•~ It was so good !!!

I also had Ceasar Salad & Shrimp Ceviche which was also good with lychee martinis 🥂.“

“Always drove past this place and wondered what it would be like. Finally stopped by today and they did not disappoint! The oxtail patty is a 10/10, would definitely recommend! Overall, the oxtail, reg and bbq jerk chicken patties are all worth stopping for.“

“Great staff and even better food 💜“

““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨‍🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥“

“Absolutely delicious 💜😋.... Love Sarrah and her food! My lunch & dinner I picked up today ....Doubles, Curry Goat w/roti. I’ve never been disappointed. Everything is ALWAYS absolutely delicious!!!“

“What a gem. This cozy restaurant has everything I needed after a long day. The staff is friendly and polite. The space is comfortable - not too fancy and not too casual. Most importantly- the FOOD. The Salad Tropical was the most delicious salad I’ve had in my life - fresher than fresh with a unique and perfect blend of subtle flavors. I judge restaurants by their pork and the Lechon did not disappoint. Delicate flavorful seasoning complemented by tenderness. I will definitely remember this meal and recommend this place. Easily, I offer 5 stars.“

“Try the codfish cakes. Scrumptious! Curry is always good and oxtails are braised perfectly. The food is savory and seasoned well. Love the comfort on the restaurant, great place to try out some Antigua cuisine. The menu has American food also. I highly recommend Cafe Metro.“

“YUM! Great service, from the minute we walked in! The friendly hostess recognized us from a previous visit, the wait staff were on point, the chef came over to our table with complimentary soup, the music was upbeat and our food was delicious! Great vibes, highly recommend!“

“This is my second time eating here and the food was ?. There are so many choices including chimi, mofongo, soup, wings etc... I got stewed chicken with white rice, pigeon beans and tostones with garlic sauce. I enjoyed everything and the service once again was very friendly and accommodating. ??“

“I Had A Great Time, The Food Was Absolutely Delicious And Great Service. I Recommend Anyone To Come Dine Here It’s A Great Atmosphere And The People Were Very Warm And Welcoming.“

“We had an incredible night at Omar's Kitchen and Rum Bar. We started with two refreshing cocktails—the Rum Punch and the Ginger Mojito—perfectly balanced and full of island spirit. For small bites, the Saltfish Fritters and Jerk Chicken Wings were packed with bold, authentic flavors. Our mains, the Jerk Chicken and Sorrel Lamb Chops, were juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The Rice and Peas and Sweet Plantains sides complemented everything beautifully. To finish, we indulged in the rich and creamy Cheesecake, the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. The vibe, food, and drinks made it a truly memorable experience!“

“My kids had an international night at school. I had no time to cook so I ordered catering from Caribbean Touch. International night came and was the food was delicious! When I went to pick up the food, the oxtails were not quite ready, though everything else in my order was good to go. They later brought the oxtail to the school for me. When the oxtail arrived it was per-fection, the meat was tender and dropping off the bone. The oxtail was well worth the wait. Those who stopped by my table raved about the food and I plugged Caribbean Touch the entire time. Fantastic job!“

“Great!!!“

“Ariel the manager is amazing Excellent food and great atmosphere nest of bergen county!“

“Highly Recommended!! Especially for large parties! Went with a group of 20. We had the back room all to ourselves!! Which included our own bathroom and backyard space! It felt like a private party as we were able to get up and mingle with one another without bothering other diners. The food was excellent and the service was even better !!! Thank you for everything ISHMEL !!!“

“Jamaican cuisine out of this world !! Beef , Chicken , and Veggie Patties. Spicy Buns .. Coco bread plus more“

“This is my go to place when I have a large group to entertain. Our server was great and very professional but very personable as well. I ordered a coconut mojito and it was literally a glass of ice with a drop of coconut and a sugar stick that had seen better days. I told our server it was terrible and I got another one it was still awful and I couldn't drink it. It was very disappointing since I've had them before and they were good. Our food was great and we celebrated my friend's birthday with a special dessert . They need a new bartender those drinks were terrible! I shouldn't had to pay for those drinks but I was charged anyway. I'll have to think twice about going back“

“We forgot to leave a review from our first initial visit. We got the oxtail with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains and Mac and cheese. It’s a very clean establishment and the food is delicious. The owner is extremely nice and makes you want to come back for more.“

“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 ✌️“

“My family and I were visiting here and we were hungry looking for something quick. We saw this spot and decided to go in. All of us got a jerk chicken plate with the 3 sides. We ALL enjoyed our food! It's definitely authentic Caribbean food! The jerk was delicious!! Everything was delicious. We wish this was in VA lol. We will definitely be returning here when we visit again.“

“We were so fortunate to have Culcha Caribbean bring their food truck to our Fall company bbq. Employees thanked me for getting them. They sold out before the lobster truck if that tells you anything!“
