Visited this place while in the city, and the food was absolutely amazing! I ordered the stew chicken really really good but what took the cake was the owner giving me a free sample of her pea soup. It was so good I had to order a full bowl! The Irish Sea Moss drink was deli’s and smelled as good as it tasted. Thank you for the great customer service and delicious food. I’ll definitely be visiting again!

Truly Deserving of a Review!!
I’ve had my account for over a decade and have probably only written 3 or 4 reviews in total (not even sure how to check)—but Hill’s Carib Flava absolutely deserves one.
I rarely eat out because I love to cook and usually end up disappointed with restaurant food. But after a great workout at Gold’s Gym last week, I was craving Jamaican food and decided to give this place a shot. I had only tried Jamaican food once before, and while I enjoyed it, it wasn’t memorable enough to make me go back the next day. Hill’s changed that instantly.
I ordered the Jerk Chicken and Curry Goat meals and had a picnic with my aunt at the Paterson Great Falls. The falls were roaring after recent rain, and Hill’s matched that intensity with incredible flavor—rich, bold, and comforting.
The woman at the counter was incredibly kind. When I mentioned my aunt was waiting in the car, she offered us two chicken soups—such a thoughtful gesture, and the soup was delicious.
This weekend is Eid, and I’ll be calling in an order for 8 to share this amazing food with my family. Hill’s Carib Flava is now my favorite restaurant. If you haven’t been yet—go. You won’t regret it.

This food was so disgusting. The Jerk chicken wasn't even jerk chicken. It tasted more like rossitere chicken. The Mac and cheese was dry ans tasteless. The red beans and rice was dry and tasteless. I will not be returning to this place of business.
To the manager/owner, I already know when you read this review, you will feel some type of way and reply back with a condescending remark. If that will help you sleep better at night, then do what you gotta do, I can care less about what you think or say. I am saying this because I seen in last reviews how you responded sarcastly and condescending to other customers because they have their feedback on how they didn't like the service.

Food was horrible and a struggle to get through eating. That is not authentic Jamaican food. It was lazily prepared. Hard microwaved rice and peas and unflavored oxtail. The Mac and cheese was prepared from a box; not baked Mac & cheese. I’m so disappointed. It’s almost as though the chef didn’t taste as they cooked. Worst Caribbean food I’ve eaten in NJ by far.

We forgot to leave a review from our first initial visit. We got the oxtail with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains and Mac and cheese. It’s a very clean establishment and the food is delicious. The owner is extremely nice and makes you want to come back for more.
Great food. I usually get the Oxtail with rice and peas and it always on point. I also special order the ackee and salt fish and it reminds me of the ackee my Mom used to make growing up. Definitely worth the trip. I go usually once a week to 2 weeks.
