“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.“

“Was there last night celebrating a friend’s birthday and we all had a time. The food was amazing, the music was fantastic, and the owner is the sweetest. The restaurant is fairly new so, when you walk in please be patient. It’s only the owner and one other woman working there at the moment, but I promise the wait is worth it! Sasha makes you feel a part of the community the moment you step foot inside her restaurant. You just have to be there to understand!“

You guys almost made me disrespect my wife by not sharing with her! ? great food guys! I will be back!“

“Very good jerk chicken and cabbage. Service was fine but you have to wait. Staff very nice. Small establishment. My only gripe is I paid $10 for medium size chicken and it was cut into pieces. I don't believe it was half of chicken. Other than that it was fine.“

Very authentic in seasoning and presentation of the meals. Made me feel like I was back home in jam down. Real yardy style. We were very satisfied and the owners were very warm and inviting.“

“This place is an absolute hidden gem! Trust me, the food here is not just delicious—it's out of this world! I recently had the pleasure of trying Guyanese cuisine for the first time, and let me tell you, it exceeded all my expectations. The dishes are freshly cooked and bursting with flavor. But let me highlight their Jerk Chicken and Mac—it's nothing short of spectacular! Don't miss out on this culinary experience.“

“I've worked pretty close to this spot for yrs and never knew it existed (rarely take Broadway), my crew and I are working a job right up the street and decided to check it out. I've tried pollo guisado, carne guisado and of course pernil (I'd eat it everyday of my life if I could) and ea dish was outta this world. Empanadas, chicharron and maduro are all excellent too! The staff is always friendly, the food is always fresh/delicious/hot and the prices are more than fair. Once again...mom/pop spots reign supreme!!“

“We drove 40 mns to Bon Appétit Caribbean on a Saturday afternoon. I was not disappointed!Great customer service.The food was fresh, super delicious, i ordered a large duri Djondjon with chicken, they gave me enough food to feed 2 people. The macaroni salad was great, duri djondjon was awesome, and the chicken was well seasoned.The next day i went, i got again a large duri Djondjon and fried turkey, Once again, everything was DELICIOUS. If you're in Irvington or close by, this is one spot that I'd definitely recommend! They have REAL SEASONED HAITIAN FOOD“

“I absolutely am in love with this restaurant. If it was possible to give 1000 star I would! It is so hard to find real authentic Jamaican food and a plus side to this is the service provided and atmosphere is always amazing! The place is clean and the owner is also very nice. They are very generous in the way they portion the food giving both quality and quantity. 1000000/10 highly recommend. The young lady serving the food is also such a sweetheart“
“This was our second time having dinner there. We had a great dining experience the first time which caused us to celebrate our wedding anniversary the second visit. They sat us in the same booth from our original visit which gave us the same server. She was excellent the first time as well as the second. The food was wonderful and the executive chef came out and introduced himself to us (nice touch). We plan on taking some friends with us the next time we go. Nice job Coco's!“
“I've been meaning to write a review for some time now. Bekka's Bakery is a must try if you have not been here. I typically eat Jamaican lunch once a week - going to various joints around town, but I always return to Bekka's. Every bite is delicious! I honestly believe it's the best Jamaican food in the area. I typically order the Jerk Chicken or the Curry Goat. They are both to die for. Heavenly seasoned - Bekka does not skimp on the spices on her jerk nor her curry. It really stands out when comparing her food to other local Jamaican spots. Even her callaloo is outrageously delicious. Also - Bekka is a friendly and welcoming host. It's funny to me how this is a rarity in the neighborhood but it's refreshing to be welcomed into a local restaurant. There is a table and barstools to eat at, but it's more of a takeout joint. If I had to make one critique, I wish the dining section was a little more intimate as I would come for dinner with the family on the regular.“

With an extensive menu, this spot promises a continued journey of delectable discoveries. A must-visit for those craving an authentic taste of Jamaican cuisine.“

“I visited Sarrah's on a trip to NJ with my son and it was such a pleasant, happy experience! I felt like being at an aunt's house in Trinidad. Sarrah sat us down and served us her delicious doubles! She brought us an Apple J to go with it then kept checking on us to make sure we didn't need anything else. Her hospitality was impeccable and I was left with total admiration for the service and quality of Trinidadian food I received. I will definitely return.“

“2/6/2023. Had a taste for a patty and coco bread and this was the closest place to me and there was good reviews. I got a chicken patty because it wasn't spicy and it was $3.00 the coco bread was $1.00. The beard to the patty was nice and flacky but wasn't falling all over the place it had a decent amount of filling and the coco bread had a nice fresh taste to it, the only issue I have was I tasted more of the coco bread and the outside of the patty more than I tasted the filling of the patty there wasn't much flavor to it.“

“It is with great pride and joy that I hereby share my true reflections, as it relates to my experience, being a customer at Caribbean Grill.First and foremost, I must make it clear that I am all of 100% a domesticated male, who is extremely happy that I took the time-out to learn the dynamics of being a mature responsible adult, and enduring the painstaking sacrifice of doing things the right and proper way.....If I might say so myself, I do possess exceptional talents in the kitchen, and can turn the simplest of meals in mouth-watering delicacies.That being said, the very first time I visited Caribbean Grill, I purchased a vast array of dishes and decided to have a feast, it was on my birthday, 2023.The result ? I was literally blown away by the iconic authentic representation of the cultural Jamaican dishes?I had purchased Jerk Chicken, Curried Chicken, Brown-Stewed Fish, Oxtail, Ackee and Saltfish, Rice and Peas, Callaloo and Saltfish, Fried Dumplings, and was treated to delicious slices of fried plantains on the side...(I know I must be causing somebody's mouth to be watering just about now...Lol)I also purchased a variety of natural juices, namely Beetroot, Carrot, and other types of "strong-back" punch...?I don't think I need to tell anyone that I had a feast?. The food was truly awesome.I had also purchased Jamaican style Rum Cake (some folks call it "brown cake"), Potato Pudding, and sorrel, considering the fact that my birthday falls into the last and best month of the year...Lol.Nadia and her staff are representing Yard (Jamaica) with high standards, excellent service, and the amazing quality of the food she serves says it all...Since my initial visit and purchases, for me, ALL roads leads to Caribbean Grill, located in Montclair, New Jersey. I now go there every week.The food is truly awesome, and the taste will naturally remind you of "Jamaica", and the fact that, as the Jamaican saying goes, "No Weh Nuh Better Than Yard".Blessed love to one and all..?Nadia, may God continue to bless and keep you, and may you continue to keep the Jamaican flag flying high..?.One Love...?“

“We visited the restaurant on New Years Eve, 12/31/20. We were greeted by very friendly staff and they took time to answer our questions about Caribbean cooking. We decided to order the Ox Tails and the Curried Goat. Both were incredibly good. The Ox Tails was served with rice with beans in it. The rice seemed to have a mild coconut flavor and there were two beans, one small and the other broad. Also served with it was a very nice steamed cabbage and sweet plantains. The cook on the plantains was great, with the plantains being cooked well but short of being mushy. Unlike other plantains we've had at other restaurants which were too oily, these weren't. Perhaps they were baked instead of deep fried. As to the Ox Tails themselves, there were probably about 10 segments of tail. They were in a very flavorful brown gravy and cooked to a nice fall off the bone texture. The Curried Goat was our favorite. It had many chunks of goat (with the bone) in a spicy curry sauce. Wow, it was good! It actually reminded us of the Curried Goat we've had in Indian restaurants. Like the Ox Tails the meat was very tender and fell off the bones. The rice that came with the goat was different than the Ox Tails. This rice was spicy with flavors similar to the sauce the goat was in. It also came with the cabbage and plantain side that the Ox Tail had. We also had their Macaroni and Cheese. It was baked in the store and cut to a serving size. Since it was cut, it maintained that nice cheesy crust on the top. The flavor was nice and cheesy and we enjoyed it. When we go back, we'll probably order sides of cabbage and plantains because they were so good and we wanted more than what came with the dinner. As we were waiting for our food, we noticed there was a lot of whole red snapper being purchased. One party had about 7 fish for their New Years Eve gathering. The fish looked nicely prepared, but unfortunately we haven't tried it yet. Next time, we hope. So in summary, we really enjoyed Sashey's Kitchen and will be returning multiple times.“

“Drove about 25 minutes just to get some chicken roti. Decided to try this place based off the reviews and I am so glad we did. The food here was so tasty, fresh, and cooked with so much flavor. The service was good, it seems to be family- oriented. I would call ahead if you don't want to wait too long. They have a table inside but I would recommend to take the food to go. Definitely will be coming here again and hopefully trying the stew chicken!!!!!“

“We went for Happy Hour and tried 4 appetizers. The beef empanadas were a good size, filled with beef and veggies. Was delicious. Come 4 in an order. Also tried the Yuka cheese sticks and I loved them. Soft and go great with the creamy side sauce. The jerk shrimp was also delicious with the warm bread it brings. Wings were good but a bit spicy for me since currently I cant eat anything spicy. Overall was a great meal and our waitress Brianna was very attentive. Will definitely be back.“

“Really good flavor kind customer service and really quick to get me out the door. I got one large order of oxtail and one small curry chicken, their portions are a good size and you get bang for your buck (also updating my review years later) got their curry goat and oxtail this time. The consistency remained. My DoorDash order arrived still hot and tender. Definitely recommend“

“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 ✌️“

“Dev’s has some of the best oxtail flavor in Essex county. Trust me readers I had to make a review on this place because I’ve lived in jersey all my life and there’s nothing I mean nothing like devs oxtail. It’s spicy ?️ savory and flavorful. Don’t hesitate to try these oxtails don’t even think just go and buy a large. Trust me people! I beg you! You’re doing a disservice not to try them at least.The downside is I was eating inside of devs and I saw roaches I haven’t seen a roach in years so I was shocked, didn’t stop eating my food though I finished it and said I can’t comeback after I was done. This made me angry ?because I really love the oxtails. I’m tempting to go back as to that was a few years back but I just can’t and it’s hurting bad because there’s nothing close to the oxtail. I’m what you call a raving fan when something is good it’s good. People’s choice golden crust tasty you name them all, none can touch devs oxtail. I’ve been to all the spots and this is number 1. Munchies in south orange was good too but she closed so now I’m starving out here. The owners of dev do something renovate find another location your product is award winning. Never change if they don’t like spice then let them go else where.“
“I found about spice rack for first time in Grubhub, I went to out the grocery stock and honestly I was quite impressed. Later I wanted try the indian cuisine, trust me I fell in love with chicken tikka masala and the beef fry. I spoke to chef Ron, an outgoing person. He is gem of a talent. I was quite impressed by the flavours used and a small suggestion please open dine in soon. I would love to bring my family in to dine there.“

“Minus one star for the hairs kind of a turn off (gross) but hey doesn’t get any fresher than that as if they killed it in the back lol… good food tho I was recommended by a customer and this is my honest review. You walk in it def old school vibes the smell of burnt smoky goodness! The pork was good the sauce was good. They have huge amounts of chopped meat in the back on the bone which was cool! I also had the bread pudding but ehh hard pass.. definately one of a kind place everyone should visit all the restaurants over 4.0 ratings in east orange it means they are doing something right!“

“I love coming to this place every time I visit Newark, New Jersey. The food reminds me of the motherland Nigeria. I love the fact they have special soups for everyday of the week…Mon-Fri and they all taste amazing. I do recommend their Efo-Riro you can never go wrong with that meal. And their Jollof Rice is practically the best Jollof in Newark. Don’t argue with me argue with your mother oooo. But sincerely if you want a good naija meal and you are in the Newark, NJ area stop by you won’t regret. ??“

“I come to Y.U.P.P. just about every week and I have to say it’s one of my favorite places. The food is excellent, the drinks are great, and the staff is always very welcoming.My favorites are the YUPP Curry Chicken, Hearty Beef, and the Spicy Oxtail. I’m always on the go so this is the perfect lunch time meal to have. If you want an excellent patty and you want to hear some great music or even play PAC Man while you wait I highly recommend checking out YUPP! I also frequent both locations and I look forward to seeing the next location open.“
