“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!“

“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.“

“Such a pleasure to work with Aiyana on hosting my first networking event! Since I didn't have much experience, I asked Aiyana for recommendations on how much food (with variety) to feed all the guests. She was so patient and helpful throughout the process. The food was delicious! The guests love the food. Aiyana & Keith set up everything so nicely for me. They went above and beyond in providing exceptional service. Both of them are very diligent and kind people. I'm so glad I worked with them. They know how to treat people right and deliver the best service. I hope to do business with them again!“

“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!“

“I love they empanadas it’s the best in town LITERALLY 🔥🔥“

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

“Tienen que visitar este gran y majestuoso restaurante lo bien que se come!!“

“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.“

“This food is so incredible it makes me feel like if I hadn't been born in the Dominican Republic, I’d want to be Jamaican. The restaurant is spotless and has a great atmosphere. The food is truly amazing; it was my mother-in-law’s and my first time visiting yesterday, and we loved it so much we had to return today. Highly recommend—10/10! Special shoutout to the lady who is serving. You are so kind and great!“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“Came in around 8pm after worked, tired from work, didn’t want to travel for my normal place I go for my west Indian food , I find this little gem and ordered to my dietary standards, got curry goat and all veggies and food was fresh tasting and very well seasoned and tender, was a bit surprised as I don’t like trying new places , definitely will be back to try different menu options, service is great and a welcoming atmosphere.. Highly recommended“

“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 love ordering from here on weekends! They have a solid account with the eat24 app, which makes ordering really easy. My favorite dish is the pernil (roasted pork), but the res guisada (beef stew) is also delicious. The food is just as good as homemade. Oh, and that banana shake!!. Delicious.“

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

“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 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.“

“This place is amazing! On Monday April 23rd they fed the Orange High school Marching Band for FREE after meeting the Band at orange Family day in Orange Park on April 21st. I went back today April 25th to pick up dinner for my family and I was very pleased! Let’s support and welcome this new business to the City of Orange!!!“
