“This hole in the wall serves tasty Dominican staples: rice & beans, pollo guisado, pernil, they usually also have a few soups on deck. The food is well-seasoned and the prices are very reasonable; super friendly service. Excellent homemade juices well: jugo de avena and morir soñando of course! I come here often and it never disappoints.“

“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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“Great place, great environment and good vibes.😀“

“Very impressed since they was decorating the place. I was passing by every day till they finally open and I desire to try the food, I was curious and also I’m not a vegan person. When I finally try that food I just got in shock. Super tasty, delicious, the Trinidad and Dominican Republic flavors- was so down the earth. So thankful to have them at the neighborhood, the service is excellent and Yesenia and her employees super professionals. The ambiance and decoration soo relaxing- I love the food and the service, how they welcome you, is hard to find a place like that. Highly recommended to everyone- vegan or not vegan- 🥗 the talent is there and I wish them success- nice location, sparkling clean - if you are looking for good food - this is your spot-“

“Exploring Brooklyn for the first time, while visiting from Boston, my wife and I were referred to Sally's Restaurant. It is a small and cozy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The food was very flavorful and the portions were the right size. The customer service was fantastic. We look forward to eating there again when we visit New York.“

“Staff eas extremely kind and informative. It was fun to be able to watch the preparations from our counter perch. Chef Carmichael was able to come over and say hello to his fellow Bajans and to wish my friend a happy birthday. Food was of excellent quality and very tasty.“

“Tina at the bar was was extremely amazing! I ordered the 21 SideCar, and it gets the job done! Food was everything as well!! The Crab Cake App, The Jerk Ribeye, and the, Honey Crunch Salmon were 10/10s. Thank you to Taylor as well! The staff are sweethearts and I can't wait to come back.“

“Great service, Great food“

“I absolutely love this place! It was fantastic 20 years ago, and I'm happy to say it's just as amazing today.

Ranea was a wonderful server. She made sure my hibiscus mojito was perfectly balanced, tangy, yet sweet. Hours later, I'm still thinking about that drink!

For appetizers, I had the codfish fritters with guacamole on the side. They were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. For dinner, we shared the sampler platter, and everything came out hot and full of flavor. The jerk chicken was smoked to perfection, and the oxtail was so tender it literally fell off the bone.

Negril Village, right in the heart of the West Village, is a must-visit. Whether you're grabbing a bite before a comedy show, stopping in afterward, or simply looking for a great place to relax and enjoy the vibe, this spot never disappoints.“

“I loveee the food here. Very cozy atmosphere with great music--lovely date night vibes with the dim lighting but still illuminated enough to see/take pictures. I've tried the salmon escovitch as well as the oxtails and they were both phenomenal. They make great drinks as well, can't wait to go back!“

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

“The food is always good. There was so many workers, ( someone opening the door/security, and then there was a worker on the main floor restocking/replenishing).. so many people, I guess everything was moving smooth. But to me, It was just feel a little chaotic, as to where to stand to wait for your order. There was deliveries, people using the kiosk, people in the shop ordering bake and shark having to pay for it first and then going and waiting for it. FOOD WAS GREAT!“

“I absolutely love love love this restaurant. I literally cannot stay away. it’s also right across the street from the gym so i almost always stop by. i get the brown stew chicken & it tastes so good i can’t help but come back for more. Rashida helped me today and she was very nice—made it hefty, love it when they make it hefty.“

“Everything so delicious, so tasty, fantastic catering for family funeral event, everything well packaged and delivered properly, my guest had very happy bellies.“

“Great local spot with great vibes, food and drink. Creative fusion as well. Luv the Oxtail Dumplings and Braised Rib Bao Buns!!!“

“Pleasant experience and beautiful place, nice drinks! Give it a try! Music, too! 🥂“

“Best roti I have ever had. This was one of my favorite food spots when I lived in flatbush. I always got the same thing. I am so sad that I moved two states away. Whenever I go back to Brooklyn I always stop by de hot pot and get some stock for my freezer 😋😋“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

Like home in here. I definitely suggest cominf here for a real taste of New York. I’ll be back!!“

“Great food! Big portions, finger-lickin good“

“Nice Place Food was fantastic. Oxtail delicious. Highly recommend. Bar Cocktail's are a disappointment. After sending the first Drink back the 2nd wasn't much better. Waitress explained they are prefixed. Please invest in a good Bartender who can make fresh Drinks. Thank you. Would love to come back .“

“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!!!“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

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

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“best fish and grits in brooklyn“

“Just an Asian guy commenting. Been to Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Atalanta, and this place is up there in terms of flavor and texture. Wings are amazing. So surprised of wings, hit the spot. Mac and collard greens will satisfy as well. But wings are 🫰🏼🫰🏼“

“I come to this restaurant at least three times a month, and I’ve been going here for 15 years. It’s truly great—the food is always fresh and delicious. They have the best tres leches, and everything they make tastes consistently good and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“This is my second time at MangoSeed Brooklyn and the food never fails. Everything was so good, especially the jerk chicken and mac & cheese!

Also have to give a special shoutout to Tania! She was so sweet, friendly, and made the experience even better. Amazing food and amazing service.“

“I found this restaurant on the IN KIND app, and the menu looked great. I don’t live far, so I was a little skeptical since I had not heard of it, I used to own a restaurant in the neighborhood, and I eat out several times a week in Manhattan and Brooklyn at the same places that I love, and I also love cooking amazing food for family and friends.

Let’s say, I was pleasantly surprised, and actually blown away! My family is Jamaican, so fusion isn’t always my thing, but this restaurant did the most amazing job with all of the food! The proteins honored the culture, and the fusion elements actually mirrored my favorite Chinese Jamaican spot in Ocho Rios, so all of it honored its roots! ON TOP OF THAT, the vegetables were fresh and flavorful—not overcooked! Excellent. And the jasmine rice was the best rice that I have had anywhere in NYC. PERIOD. A chef that cares about the RICE is definitely putting his foot in the rest of the meal! I had to call back to get the name of Chef Bunny - I needed to know who COOKED that food! And Amanda was extremely helpful with taking our order and fixing a little boo boo in our pickup order. She had the incorrect item Lyft couriered to us - I appreciate the extra effort and expense, as I know restaurants have a tight profit margin. I will definitely be back to dine in - can’t wait.

Our group got the oxtail, jerk chicken, pineapple and basil fried rice, and the ORANGE chicken - I tasted and ate all - each one better than the next. And we topped it off with the bread pudding (and added Haagen Das and whipped cream at home).“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“After moving to Bergen County I was on a mission to find the best Jamaican food spot. I’m from Queens, NY and I miss my South Ozone Park / West NY food.

I go to a gym nearby and just randomly found this spot and thank goodness I did.

The food is really good, everything is well balanced in terms of flavor and the hospitality is great.

We’ve all seen that “we don have dat” video and this is the opposite. If he doesn’t have it, give him a minute to work his magic. Your patience will be rewarded.

If you like good seasoned food, just give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. I know I wasn’t. I’ll be coming here every time I crave oxtails and fried chicken.“

“I love going there i always get nice stuff and yes it's a 5“

“So, my buddy asked if I had been to this hot new restaurant called Markette. My friends and I had tried to get reservations a few weeks ago, on a Saturday night, but it was booked solid. After having the pleasure of eating there, I understand why.
For starters, the space is beautiful. It reminded me of that Starbucks in Paris that's in a former bank building, with its high ceilings, ornate chandeliers , gorgeous hand painted murals and a sexy up lit bar.
We ordered the codfish fritters (they were ok, too much potato and not enough fish, but the sauce they were served with was very tasty) Braised Oxtail Gratin (delicious!!) Lamb and Roti ( the lamb was cooked to perfection and the sauce it was nestled in was good enough to eat alone, but it arrived to our table cold) For dessert, we shared the Soursop Trifle, which we were super excited about trying 'cause it's rare to find the delicious soursop on a menu. Unfortunately, it was rare locating it in the trifle too. The overwhelming flavor was the pineapple, which was cleverly made red by soaking it, in hibiscus juice. It was tasty, for sure, but too overpowering for the delicate soursop.
I'd rate the food a solid 8 and am looking forward to trying more of it. You should go.“

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

“Came to Continent Brooklyn for a late dinner and cocktails with some girlfriends and we had such a good time! The atmosphere is definitely one of the highlights — sexy, grown, and sophisticated without feeling stuffy. There were lots of couples enjoying date night along with a few other groups of girlfriends, and the DJ was great and kept the vibes going all night.

The food was absolutely the star. We shared several dishes, including the oxtail lo mein, salmon, mac & cheese and wings, and everything was flavorful and delicious. We finished with dessert, which was just as good. Definitely come hungry!

The cocktails were probably the one area that didn’t quite live up to the rest of the experience. They weren’t bad, but considering how good the food and overall atmosphere were, I expected the drinks to be a little stronger/better.

That said, we had a great night. Between the food, music, beautiful interior and lively atmosphere, Continent is a great choice for a late dinner, date night or girls’ night out. I would absolutely come back“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“First time trying Trinidadian food, and I was a bit lost on what to order. We ended up getting the goat roti and fish doubles. The portions were huge, and I loved the flavours. I’d never had anything like the fish doubles before, and it turned out to be my favourite. I’ll definitely be back to try the bake and saltfish, along with some of their other dishes.“

“The chef deserves a medal for grinding and cooking in this heat wave in such small quarters. The heat didn't affect his attitude at all though! He was so pleasant. I ordered the small ox tail plate that came with rice and beans and 2 big pieces of sweet plantain. I requested the Jamaican slaw which was a mixture of macaroni and cabbage and seasoning that I loved. The mac n cheese was exactly what a mac n cheese should be. Dense and delicious! The neighborhood really benefits from people like this sharing their culture and flavor so thank you!“

“We came to Patrick’s on the Hill for an early dinner, and WOW — everything was soooo good! We started with the jerk wings and Jamaican beef patties, and both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor.

But the Rasta Pasta with oxtails was the star of the meal! We learned that it’s made from the owner’s mom’s recipe, which made it even more special. The oxtails were tender and flavorful, and the pasta was incredible. You can tell this is food made with love and family tradition.

Our server Tatiana was so kind, helpful, and welcoming and really made us feel at home. Between the amazing Jamaican food and the wonderful hospitality, this place is definitely worth a visit.

We will absolutely be back — and I’m already thinking about that Rasta Pasta with oxtails! 🇯🇲❤ ⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“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.“
