“I work in Midtown Manhattan and everyone in the company has tasted the cuisine of So Good Cuisine LLC... we licked our fingers with that seafood ham and chofan... wow how delicious, just remembering it is a pleasure to the palate... Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

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

“I was greeted with a warm welcome and smile. I ordered paratha roti, dhalpourie roti, doubles and Trini chinese. Everything was delicious and very authentic. The owner is super friendly and welcoming!

Will definitely be back!“

“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!!!!“

“This place is a gem!

Food: We got the Oxtail Rigatoni and Jerk Chicken with rice and beans. Incredibly delicious!! The food was incredibly fresh and tasty, even after 2 days in the fridge after we took leftovers, it tasted really good.

Drinks: Marvarita was really good, sugarcane spritz was warm and not very good, you can pass.

Atmosphere: We went at 5pm on a Sunday, there was live music, hilarious singer who complemented people sitting around.

Service: 11/10. Barbara(the owner) is lovely, she came and said hi, chatted with us and even took our order. Our server was Anthony, delightful man, felt like he was a cousin. we felt like we were so welcome and KNOWN in the restaurant.

Pricepoint: ridiculously reasonable esp being in Greenwich.

This will be our go to Jamaican spot from this point on.“

“The best Jerk Chicken in New Jersey. Not oven jerk chicken. The jerk lamb is out of this world. You will keep coming back over and over again once you try it. Everything is made to order sometimes the wait time is long but it’s worth it 👏🏾🙌🏾“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Great!!!“

“Omar's Kitchen has become home away from home, I've been going there ever since it opened, the food is always a solid 10/10. Recently took my friend who was visiting from LA and she loved everything about Omar's Kitchen and can't wait to go back.“

“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 🥂.“

“Vibes? Wonderful. Food? Immaculate. Very welcoming environment and customer service was excellent. At the end of the day, we’re here for the food and it was amazing!! We had jerk chicken and curry chicken along with Rasta pasta and rice & peas. Flavors on point and we will be back! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“If you’re in Lyndhurst, New Jersey, and craving a culinary adventure that blends the bold flavors of the Caribbean with the savory delights of the Mediterranean, look no further than Lyndhurst Jerk & Gyro Spot.

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

“Great authentic Trini cuisine. Very friendly and welcoming!“

“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.“

“best Caribbean food in New Jersey!!! tasty and delicious food 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“Popped in for some food after hitting the pool - everything was so fresh. I got the fritura and was blessed with a massive portion of fried, fresh, incredible meats, cheese, and plantains. The chicken was so moist and juicy, the chicharron was deeply flavorful and had me floored; truly so fresh, tasted like a mama made it for me. My partner got the pernil and it was also incredible. 10/10!!!“

“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!“

“The food was cooked to perfection texture is perfect I must say and the staff is friendly and attentive so the service gets a five-star unfortunately the food doesn't quite hit like a Jamaican spot should the flavors aren't their. it is good don't get me wrong but it is lacking that Jamaican passion those hole in the wall spots have.“

“absolutely delicious 😋 food, anything they cook is amazing.“

“They make real jerk chicken! ON THE GRILL! Tasted it with one meal and I bought more to take home so my family know it’s the real deal… definitely coming back and often 😇 additionally! They have 2 very friendly cashiers/servers which is usually hard to find. Met the owner and he also seems to be a nice guy… I don’t write reviews often unless I received bad service but today it is the opposite! People nice and food nicer! 🥰“

“We absolutely love this place! We’d been wanting to visit for a while, but since most of my hospital appointments were in the mornings, we hadn’t had the chance until now. It was well worth the wait—the jerk chicken and sides were incredible, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with great music and an inviting ambience. On top of that, the lady who helped us was wonderfully pleasant and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“Great Roti and friendly service!“

“This place was amazing. The jilof was my favorite. The service was perfect and the little kid named Eddy was really cute. The meat here couldn’t have been better. I’m really happy about this place and can’t wait to come back and get some more food.“

“I am giving the soul food experience here a 5 out of 5. Or a 12 out of 10. Each platter is Huge- enough to feed 2 people!!!! I ordered the fried Whiting with potato salad and candy Ames. It came with 4 to 5 pieces of fish, 2 pieces of bread, generous sides and cornbread. It was delicious!!. I would not recommend the curry chicken if you are looking for a true, jamaican curry period that curry here was dark and thick, like other caribbean islands, possibly trinidad, make it, and that's not what we like. You definitely want to order in.advance.. as each order is made fresh- IT IS WORTH THE WAIT!!!... there is no seating or indoor dining. Straight take out.“

“Best Roti ever stewed fish and curry chicken hands down get the sorrel too“

“I had the doubles and previous have gotten many different things off of their menu and they have. Ot missed overall a good and fast experience every time. Everything is made fresh so I call ahead and when I'm there its ready. Great food and service.“

“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!“

“My husband and I ordered the small oxtail and curry goat, and also two beef patties. Both meals were good. The rice & cabbage were especially delicious. But OMG the beef patties were sooooo good! Better than the chain Jamaican restaurant. I’d come back just for that. Hot & flaky delicious. Very pleased.

Added on 9/6/25 - we went back & wanted to order however they ran out of food at the time we arrived at 7pm on the nose. They were very apologetic & suggested we call ahead next time which we will. They only had veggie patties left & lemme tell you, they’re forgiven! Best veggie patty I’ve ever had. The filling & the dough was so damn good. Flaky & flavorful! Will be back & will call ahead next time.“

“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!“

“She’s very neat in all she Does❤️❤️❤️🙌🏿🙌🏿love the Delicious food“

“good food great music. nice atmosphere 👌“
