9 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Newark

“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.“

“The Food is Fantastic and creative.“

“I ate here for the first Time today and coming from New York it was hard to find a great Jamaican restaurant here in Jersey but the food was amazing well seasoned. The establishment was clean the customer service was phenomenal. I felt welcomed from the moment I entered the door. If you haven’t tried this place I suggest you do you will not be disappointed I can’t wait to try more stay blessed“

“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.“

“Great food. Seasonings are always on point.
Good service. Could be better at time but satisfied.
Atmosphere is ok. Surrounding area is urban and can be a little on the riske' side. But for the most part the food is worth it.“

“I had the jerk chicken, mashed potatoes with oxtail gravy, cabbage, plantains and a beef patty. The food was delicious with just the right amount of kick, the price was right, and the service was great. That container was so stuffed with good home cooking, that we had more than enough for two plus leftovers for the next day. I will definitely come back next time I’m in the area and will try something new. They had a good variety including an assortment of juices I didn’t even notice til we paid. If I had room for dessert, I would’ve had the rum or the carrot cake. My review....amazing!“
