“We found this place through a youtube video and we were not disappointed the lady at the counter was super sweet. The mac and cheese was really good. The oxtails omg!! So tender the corn bread was the best I've gotten from any restaurant. They even gave me corn bread for my son's to try and they were not disappointed we will definitely be back again. Worth the 45min drive!“

“This unassuming cafe is on the lower level of the Carteret Arms apartments. The residence is a place for the elderly and thus the hours are a bit wonky. Provided you want a meal before 6pm, this should be a go-to spot. \n\nEverything is delicious. They lean towards fried foods, but have a great selection of seafood dishes and grilled options. Neighborhood favorites include the island pasta, which is close to divine. \n\nOn this visit we tried the grilled chicken sandwich and the blackened sandwich, both of which hit the spot. Good greens and cabbage, too. The owner makes homemade desserts. There are a variety of soft drinks and it is otherwise BYOB. \n\nThere is a small area for dining if you want to eat in.“

“One the best Caribbean dishes in the tri-state Finger licking when you taste our food speak for his self(our customer service is very great and we are very respectful people we get along with everyone and everyone get along“

“Had the yummiest brown stew chicken dish and carrot cake this evening. This was my first time here and really enjoyed it! Visited the Lawrenceville location. Very friendly staff. Thank you!!!! Highly recommend 🙂“

“I ordered the oxtail, rice, and plantain platter, and it exceeded all my expectations. The oxtail was tender and flavorful, perfectly seasoned with authentic Jamaican spices. The rice and plantains complemented the dish beautifully, adding a balance of texture and sweetness. This is hands down the most authentic Jamaican food I’ve had in the area—rich, bold, and true to its roots. If you’re craving a genuine taste of Jamaica, this place won’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be returning to explore more of their menu.“

“Truly authentic Caribbean cuisine. You must come and try for yourself.. you will become a regular.. My mother was very surprise with the shrimp double.. she couldn't believe the size of the shrimp and the price.. the staff is friendly and patient, the place is spotless also the restrooms are very clean.. back to the food. It's seasoned and cooked to perfection also the portions are great.. the prices are very affordable. Unlike allot of Caribbean restaurants who serve you with much to much gravy . ROTI PLUS let's you see what you're getting. I'm going to become a regular customer and will bring my friends and family to enjoy the cuisine.“

“The food is spectacular. Now ,I've read some of the comments and yes, the service is a bit slow - but you are not at a fast food restaurant! If you want fast, go to McDonalds. If you want great authentic food - this is your place. The portion sizes are large enough that I usually bring some of my meal home to enjoy the next day and I'm a big eater.“
