50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near South Orange

“Atmosphere is chill. You got background music, 5 arcade machines, and a comfortable couch to sit on while you (rarely) wait for food. The patties themselves are exceptionally varied in type, and each have their own original flavor profile. It's worth eating each one, and its DEFINITELY worth buying, at least to me. 10/10“

“Oh my goodness! These patties are so delicious! I bought one curry chicken and one beef. They were both so flaky. When I went, they had just come out of the oven. The curry chicken was my favorite, not because the beef wasn't good. It was delicious too. I just hadn't had a curry chicken patty before. I want to go back today, just looking at the pictures. The lady serving them was so lovely. She made the experience extra memorable. Highly, highly recommend. I will definitely be back soon, if not today. 😁“

“The food was absolutely delicious and full of flavor! The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant had a cozy atmosphere. Definitely coming back soon!“

“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.“

“I would say please make sure you are handling your chicken correctly. After eating your delicious chicken (at least one time) I felt like I experienced a bout of food poisoning. Unfortunately, I can't eat here anymore, I don't know if the food is being handled properly.“

“Taste of the Caribbean catered my mom's birthday. Denise was courteous, accommodating, and kind and developed a really excellent menu for the event. She hand-delivered the food and made sure that it was held at temperature just like we requested. She accommodated the spice profiles as well given that my mom is a little bit older and can't handle the spicy food in the same way as she used to. Everything was perfect and I highly recommend them and their catering services to anybody. Amazing customer service and even better tasting food. The beef patties and the oxtail were 10 out of 10.“

“I had heard from my son and a friend about this restaurant and decided to check it out, with a friend. I ordered the fried chicken wings, candied yams, collards and Mac & cheese. My friend had the rasta pasta and j*** chicken. everything was delicious. We will be returning to sample more dishes.“

“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.“

“Took a friend of mine here for the cow foot soup and he Loved it ...now he saying he should have gotten 2 soups so he could have had one for his 6 hour trip down the highway...Curry goat was excellent and soup superb...Thank You Mr R...??????“

“Treat yourself to a sit down dinner at Lakay. I can't say enough good things about my families' dining experience. With only a few tables in the restaurant, the service and personal attention were like you were invited into the chef's home for private dining. The table was set beautifully like at a 5-star restaurant and serene spiritual music and videos played to add to the welcoming atmosphere. Now--the food! It was our first time eating Haitian cuisine and everything was made with such high quality and care. From the Soursop drinks (a must!), to the best potato salad I have ever eaten in my life, to the black bean soup, to the snapper, chicken and pork--everything far exceeded our expectations. It was truly a blessing to have stumbling on this gem!“

“I love everything in there menu!! a They serve us so much food for cheap! yessss“

“This was our second time ordering Jerkies catering, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! Ordering through their website is super easy, and they even checked in on the day of delivery to make sure our order arrived on time.
The jerk chicken was flavorful and smoky, with just the right amount of spice. We also ordered the shrimp rolls, and they were a hit! Everything came in generous portions, and the combination of flavors in each bite was amazing. We’ll definitely be ordering from Jerkies again!“

“Empanada lady was at vet fest today, I had three empanadas, a beef and potato, chipotle chicken, and a spinach one. They were so tasty and it was a huge portion.“

“good food great music. nice atmosphere 👌“

“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! 🥰“

“This used to be a good place to get take out! Now the quality of the food has gone very low. They serve cold leftovers from the day before. The food taste like crap!!! You don’t get what you pay for at all. There is no parking!! You will get a ticket also.“

“The food is prepared made to order. Everything prepared here is excellent. They do not serve pork. Very limited seating not really a dine in place. Take-out mainly. You will not be disappointed with portion size, quality or taste.

Always call in order. If you just walk in be prepared to wait.

No ATM cash or cards only.“

“This place is amazing! On Monday April 23rd they fed the Orange High school Marching Band for FREE after meeting the Band at orange Family day in Orange Park on April 21st. I went back today April 25th to pick up dinner for my family and I was very pleased! Let’s support and welcome this new business to the City of Orange!!!“

“Stopped by during the Rahway Arts Festival. Fantastic food!!! Fresh, flavorful and delicious! I had the fried fish and my daughter had the curry chicken empanadas. She later went back to get the Jerk Chicken empanadas. Highly recommend!“

“Jamaican cuisine out of this world !! Beef , Chicken , and Veggie Patties. Spicy Buns .. Coco bread plus more“

“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 ✌️“

“This place is definitely one of the best restaurants in the area. Whenever I go there I am truly pleased. They keep their very high standard service and the highest level of food they provide. You always win with this place. Very recommended.“

“The food was very delicious and well prepared. The rice was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and fresh. The salad tasted great, fresh and well seasoned, and the fries were crispy and delicious. The portion size was good, the presentation was clean, and the service was fast.
I highly recommend this place ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The place is clean and beautiful, with a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff is friendly and professional, and the service was fast and efficient.“

standard, will come by again and again ❤🥰“

“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!“

“The Food is Fantastic and creative.“

“When I go to Jamaican spots, I typically get goat or chicken. However, that day I wanted to try something new. I was recommended by Kathy to try the stewed steamed fish! 10/10 meal. I was so satisfied by the food and service.
Thank you Sandy and Kathy for the great customer service, recommendations, and dinner. I left satisfied and will definitely come again to try more!“

“One of the best experiences I’ve had I a while going into a Guyanese restaurant I highly recommend you guys/gals check them out 👍 🌟⭐️🌟⭐️🌟“

“It's a small location on Oak Street and the food can be smelled from miles away. Once you enter, you'll see why there's a line and once you taste the food, you'll want to go back. The oxtail, the curried goat, the jerk chicken and the fried chicken are simply done right. They're delectable and flavorful. One of the main things I appreciate is, they're warm and inviting. You don't get a bad attitude from them. One last thing, I've never in my life heard of oxtail soup and it was phenomenal 😋“

“Made reservations at this restaurant for lunch after a funeral for 23 people. We pre-ordered a buffet style lunch. The food was delicious. The chef even came out to serve and make sure we were OK.
Cons: the food was not on steam tables, only sitting on tables, so it got cold fast.
The restrooms needed a good scrubbing.
It was a small restaurant.
Parking lot was small.
Overall a good experience. The food was delicious and service was great.“

“Came in around 8pm after worked, tired from work, didn’t want to travel for my normal place I go for my west Indian food , I find this little gem and ordered to my dietary standards, got curry goat and all veggies and food was fresh tasting and very well seasoned and tender, was a bit surprised as I don’t like trying new places , definitely will be back to try different menu options, service is great and a welcoming atmosphere.. Highly recommended“
