“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“

“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-“

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

“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 enjoyed the hospitality and overall experience at Lavender Room Brooklyn. The food wasn’t bad but it definitely could use some retweaking. Taylor was my favorite part about my experience at this establishment. It felt good to support a black owned restaurant and have a great time in the meantime.“

“So this place was a total surprise. First time went I didn’t except them to serve me best ramen in Brooklyn. Jerk chicken perfectly spicy. Was so good. Better than all the ramen spots in Williamsburg. Place is quite the vibe. Fun and welcoming.“

“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.“

“I recently celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday with a party of 14, and our server, Renae, did an amazing job accommodating our group and ensuring that all of my guests enjoyed the occasion. The food was outstanding, and my family thoroughly enjoyed every dish. From the moment we entered the building, the entire staff greeted us warmly and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our visit. Their excellent service helped make this special celebration truly memorable. Thank you to Renae and the entire team for such a wonderful experience!“

“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!“

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

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

“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 service as always🤗I’ve always been treated with so much kindness every single time.
Lad, Shawn, Meeka, and one guy that I’ve forgotten his name but he has locks hair, they’re the kindest people. On top of that, the FOOD IS AMAZING TOO.
The only place I get my Jamaican food from. Kudos to you guys🤗🤗🤗“

“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 😋😋“

“🥂 Brunch at Mangoseed, Brooklyn
This place may be tiny, but it’s absolutely packed with love, flavor, and food goodness! ❤ The unlimited mimosas definitely made for a good time, but the real star was the brunch food.

Everything was delicious, decadent, and full of flavor and those grits?! Absolutely excellent. Creamy, comforting, and so good I ordered a second round just of those to go!

Great vibes, generous pours, and seriously satisfying food. A little Brooklyn gem that knows how to do brunch right! Yessssssss🍾🍽✨“

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

“Love coming to Rumba with my husband for lunch and dinner. Always a great time, amazing service, as well as servers, and delicious food. The portions are also large, filling, and very good for the price. Definitely recommend their empanadas, anything with cassava, and their flan is to die for!“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

“best fish and grits in brooklyn“

“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.

“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 🫰🏼🫰🏼“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at BunNan in New York! We visited during happy hour and ordered the Plantain Jerk, the Snapper Sliders and a lemonade. Everything was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, beautifully prepared and excellent value.

A special mention to our server, Gabby, who was brilliant. She was friendly, attentive and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Her service really made the experience even better.

If you're looking for authentic Haitian food in New York, I'd highly recommend BunNan. I'll definitely be returning!“

“Pablo Santo just catered our daughter's wedding. This food is THE BEST, Most flavorful and perfectly prepared food! The ceviche was tasty without being too tart. The Wild Boar was tender, with a perfectly balanced gravy. All raged over the plantain stew! Personally the rabbit mole was to die for! Perfectly prepared meals, with quick attentive service! Most HIGHLY recommend! Thanks Chef and staff!! You were all superb!“

“Upon entering the space, the vibe was cool and welcoming. A perfect meeting spot for dinner with friends. Greta was knowledgeable about the menu and offered delicious drink options tailored to our preferences. The fritters & oxtail were the highlights of the night! The prawns were also a 10/10. Warning to those that are not spice lovers, the lamb shank is SPICY!!! One of my friends loves spice and loved it.“

“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).“

“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“

“I found this restaurant on Tik Tok and I’m sooo glad I did! I had the best oxtail I’ve probably ever had!!! Thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will be sure to go again whenever I’m in the area!! 🤌🏾“

““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“

“Had such a fun time at C List Bar! I went for karaoke with my mom on a Saturday and we had an absolute blast. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was fun, and the location is super convenient. It was the perfect spot for a fun night out, especially if you’re looking for good vibes, karaoke, and a place where you can just let loose and have a good time. Definitely would come back! 🍹🎤✨“

“Food was DELICIOUS!!! Home cooked. Fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Curried seafood!! The fried banga!!! Fried snapper!!! Fish cake. Ohhh... and the callaloo cook-up with nuff obstacles... salt beef, chicken and tripe!!! Definitely worth your money and time. The service was great. Very friendly staff. Will definitely frequent the establishment. Can't wait to try different selections.“

“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!“

“Great staff and even better food 💜“
