“The joy I’m feeling as I type this review is indescribable. FINALLY, I have found a PROPER Jamaican restaurant with PROPER JERK food and for a reasonable price. The chef is in the back GRILLINGGGGG that meat- oxtail, chicken, goat meat, beef ribs. Meat, that I as a Jamaican, never imagined could be jerked, they jerk and it’s delicious. The flavors and the tender meat- just wow. SB: If you dont like sauce, just be sure to ask for some on the side because they automatically put it on there.

This is literally a gem in for the state of NJ for sure. I’m telling ya’ll, I have been to MANYYYYY restaurants and the jerk is always baked. People are out here eating baked chicken, calling it jerk and NO THANKS. If you want real, authentic, Jamaican jerk, this is the place to go. I promise you won’t be disappointed. I wish I had pictures to attach but, it’s gone, finished, and eaten lol“

“Overall Amazing experience! Food delicious service attentive! Waitress Maria was great, informative and attentive with a dose of patience for our indecisiveness… lol would’ve ordered the whole menu!
Definitely will be back. Owner and Chef came to greet us at the table. Great way to end a great day thanks Ou La you dis not disappoint!“

“Bought doubles and a curry chicken wrap roti and this was ones of the best tasting wrap rotis I've had in awhile. The curry itself and the inside condiments were flavorful and very tasty. The doubles as well was very good. Only tried these 2 items but I'm sure the rest of the menu items are just as delicious. Would definitely recommend and would be going back.“

“My husband and I went here after monster jam, saw that it was within waking distance of the prudential center and we decided to go check it out.This restaurant is beautifully decorated! There were many places to take photos, a lovely seating area with comfortable pillows, and there was a wall of fame of various Caribbean Islands. It smelled fresh and clean inside and you can see the staff takes great care of their restaurant. The food!!! Jessum peace!!! The food was excellent! I ordered the stew chicken with rice and peas and Mac n cheese. My husband ordered curry goat with white rice and veggies. We eat had a beef patty as a starter. The patties dem taste like bak ah yard! The Curry goat was like something we would find at a 9 night back in Jamaica and the stew chicken was very flavorful. I didn't want the meal to end. We ordered food to take home with us to eat during the snow storm. The meal brought my husband to tears giving him a nostalgic feeling of home. We will return 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.“

“My family and I LOVE coming here! I've tried all options they offer and they are delicious. The Spicy Oxtail is NO JOKE. If you love heat get the spicy version of every patty they have. My personal favorite is the Hearty Beef and Oxtails. They are worth every penny!!!“

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Wow what great fresh food . My wife and I were lucky enough to have meet the owner of this amazing place when she was dropping off her food for a large event . After sampling her food we were truly impressed on the quality and flavor of her food . Since then we usually order food weekly. The portions are generous and always full of delicious meals.

“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 ✌️“

“Had a nice time overall. Big thanks to Lisa for the warm welcome and Tony for being attentive throughout our visit. The steak was cooked well but could’ve used a bit more seasoning and flavor. Other than that, the experience was enjoyable and the service really stood out.“

“The Food is Fantastic and creative.“

“This place is a gem! It's beautiful, clean and super cozy!
We hosted a birthday party there and it was everything! The food is amazing, though a little spicier than I like. They make the best juices in town! The customer service is great. The owner is absolutely amazing! She is nice, professional and very generous. We look forward to hosting at this place again very soon.“

“First time trying Bones Kitchen and I must say the Jerk Pork is Delightful.....Authentic, I definitely will be returning😋“

“I’ve order for the past two days the chicken and beef soup because I’ve been sick. It is some of the best Jamaican soup I’ve had in awhile that’s really good besides home ?. I appreciate you guys reaching out for my Uber eats order letting me know that it was going to be awhile. The little things always count and go a long way. I will definitely continue to order and try different things on the menu and refer you all to people who are looking for some top quality Jamaican eats. Bless up.“

“best in town ,plus affordable“

“I visited Sashey's for the first time on April 23 and I must say the food I ordered (curry goat with rice and peas and a brown stew fish) was excellent! In addition, the customer service was on point. I definitely will return again. Take my word, if you want good, authentic Jamaican food, Sashey's is the place.“

“I’m so happy I came across this Jamaican restaurant! Every dish here is freshly prepared. Not sure who the chef is here, but give that man a raise! Lol….authentic Jamaican food is definitely a big plus for this location. They give you many options aside from their famous rice and peas with a side of chicken. They also have a variety of soups on their menu. Their prices are very fair and for that reason I will definitely be back, and this time for some good ol’ oxtails! The establishment is very clean, and the staff is very polite. Only bad thing I can say is, why didn’t I come here sooner!!!! Guys keep up the great work. You’ve gained a repeat customer. I will be sure to let everyone I know about MacKariba Kitchen!“

“My favorite Caribbean restaurant in the area“

“This was my second time visiting this location for fritay. What brought me back was the fried goat (pictures attached), it was the best I had in the northeast. Unfortunately that day it wasn't available. The price is reasonable and the atmosphere is ok with seating are available. Overall solid spot.“

“I come here quite often for myself and coworkers. We always get the chicken soup, fry chicken and curry chicken and the coconut water. Food is always consistent. The reason for the 4-star is sometimes the service is not. Too much bickering over the open food and at times and a few of the ladies are not really friendly. But like I said food is consistently good. I'll be back.“

“This is more of a takeout spot. There are a few chairs where you can sit but it’s a pretty small venue. The wait time was long and they were busy but the food was AMAZING! So flavorful and truly authentic Haitian cuisine. They have variety in the menu and tons of items to choose from with photos so you can see what it looks like before you order.“

“I tried their okra with white rice and sos pwa. It was pretty good. Even my mother liked it. Finally found a Haitian restaurant nearby I can pick up good food and quick. I’m coming back to try their mais with beans and pwason fri. Staff was really nice too.“

“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!“

“Food was so good!
We are not familiair with Jamaican food so I asked for the Signature dish which was al of their food!
So they prepared a meal with a bit of all!
So sweet of them!!
The man behind the counter advised us very well! Hope he Will have a Nice holiday in Portugal with his girlfriend!
Thank you all sooooo much!
We enjoyed it so much!
Greetings from Aniel en Santa from Amsterdam!“

“This place has in this town for 28 years, there is a reason why they have been around so long. The owner is this wonderful sweet lady that, she is definitely Jamaican be a those Pattie’s hit different. The oxtails are succulent and falls off the bones, the plantain’s are sweet and crispy on the edges. If you’re looking for delicious Jamaica food go here, always call before you go because she starts cooking in the morning and at times the food isn’t ready until after 12pm but it’s very much worth the wait. ????The prices are very reasonable but those Pattie’s are to die for.“

“I love this place.... they are very friendly & the food is delicious.“

“Their jerk turkey wings are the absolute best.“

“I visited the restaurant yesterday for Fritay and to my surprise they included potato salad and mac gratin with meal. They offer this add on as a bonus for Sundays only, it was delicious. Service was fast and ladies behind counter were nice! Definitely coming back and highly recommend.“

“Last week was the first time in this place. But It is absolutely not the last time. We passed a splendid evening with the generous service, with the magnificent cooking and wine and with the friendly cost. We will definitely go back there again.“

“Wow! I am from Brooklyn NY and moved to Jersey recently and this spot is the closest to Brooklyn NY Jamaican food. I've been to so many west Indian spots in East Orange and Newark and it's been horrible. Brooklyn NY has the best Jamaician food but now this spot takes the crown! ( I had the breakfast)“

“I ordered a LARGE oxtail w rice & peas w extra gravy. They gave me a lot of meat and gravy. The oxtail pieces were small but plentiful. I did ask for mac & cheese but they didn’t have it that day. The customer service was OK. Watch my video review on TIK TOK: Safiya Lin“
