50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Union City

“Popped in for some food after hitting the pool - everything was so fresh. I got the fritura and was blessed with a massive portion of fried, fresh, incredible meats, cheese, and plantains. The chicken was so moist and juicy, the chicharron was deeply flavorful and had me floored; truly so fresh, tasted like a mama made it for me. My partner got the pernil and it was also incredible. 10/10!!!“

“We truly enjoyed every drop. Gone in 60 seconds!! 😋“

“Excellent Dining at Tropical Bar! It offers a delightful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the food is outstanding. The service was exceptional, with a friendly and attentive waitress who made us feel very welcome.
Highly recommended! We'll definitely be back.“

“Definitely they offer good and fresh food, the delivery time accurate, if they tell you 30 minutes it is. Humble people, that restaurant cares about its customers. I’m very picky about eating and this is my third time ordering from this Restaurant, and The Brasa from this location on New York Avenue exceeded my expectations. 👍🏼😋👏🏼“

“The food is pretty good. I ordered the tres golpes. I asked for the eggs to be scrambled and they charged me extra, I thought that was greedy of them. I have a raw egg allergy, so I can’t eat eggs unless they are fully cooked. The mangu didn’t taste that fresh. Overall it wasn’t bad but wasn’t great.“

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“Great place, great environment and good vibes.😀“

“Today, I decided to stop and try this restaurant. I walked in and asked about the menu, the lady at the bar help ( very beautiful). I decided on a chicken roti. When I got home and opened my package I was surprised at the size (huge) and the taste ( delicious). I will be back. 🥰“

“The food was great I went during food week. I had the salmon with garlic mash and broccoli. The meal also came with dessert and an appetizer. You can add a glass of wine for 5 dollars. For the appetizer I had the birria empanada my cousin had the island shrimp I believed it was called. The shrimp👍🏾👍, I wasn't crazy about the empanada. I would definitely revisit this place. Also the run punch definitely punches. Try it out.“

“Had an amazing experience! They are so accommodating and friendly! I can’t wait to go back ! Demmoy was amazing and so welcoming! One of the best experiences Iv had!“

“What an awesome dining experience. Caribbean in the East Village. The raw shrimp appetizer, the pre-dinner roti with dips, the fish mains with those delicious sides and the coconut turnover. I will remember that for a long long time. The service a little jumbled at the beginning but everyone is so nice. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“so great! the french fries are amazing and it’s so calming and welcoming. all the food looks so delicious, and the ginger beer is to dieeee for! 😉😍😍😊 if you’re in the harlem area, it’s a must try, and you cannot skip.“

“Visited for the first time on 11/21. Hostess greeted us and was very nice. The food was great, flavorful, not too spicy, thank God! Our server was not the greatest, however, Kio stepped in and made us feel welcomed. He recommended the sorrel rum punch and it was a hit. Overall a great experience and I'll definitely be going back.“

“Very impressed since they was decorating the place. I was passing by every day till they finally open and I desire to try the food, I was curious and also I’m not a vegan person. When I finally try that food I just got in shock. Super tasty, delicious, the Trinidad and Dominican Republic flavors- was so down the earth. So thankful to have them at the neighborhood, the service is excellent and Yesenia and her employees super professionals. The ambiance and decoration soo relaxing- I love the food and the service, how they welcome you, is hard to find a place like that. Highly recommended to everyone- vegan or not vegan- 🥗 the talent is there and I wish them success- nice location, sparkling clean - if you are looking for good food - this is your spot-“

“Great service, Great food“

“I went to dinner last night for a late birthday dinner. To my surprise, there was a live band playing music and it was wonderful! They even played happy birthday, so it felt like a personal treat lol. The food was delicious and very filling. We ordered the Branzino, Ras & Pasta, Mango Chow and Sweet Plantains. Everything was delicious. We had a great hostess and waitress. The only reason I gave 4 stars for service was because they never brought out the appetizer that we ordered. But once we ate our entrees, we realized we didn't even need the appetizer because we were so stuffed lol. I will definitely be back and will be recommending this spot to others.“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“I had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. My waitress name was Toya, she was committed to great service and was very friendly. The atmosphere was awesome and I definitely liked that you have a very modern style. Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great!“

“Delicious food & fabulous atmosphere and service.“

“I may have to give this place a second chance since the day I went may may just not have been a good day. To my understanding a staff member quit and our server had to assist elsewhere but it really messed up our experience for my friend's birthday. We wanted to order more thing but after receiving our main course we did not see the server again until everyone got tired of waiting to try to order our second round and just asked for the bill. I understand things happen just wish they found a better way to deal with being understaffed than just not being attentive.“

“Nice Place Food was fantastic. Oxtail delicious. Highly recommend. Bar Cocktail's are a disappointment. After sending the first Drink back the 2nd wasn't much better. Waitress explained they are prefixed. Please invest in a good Bartender who can make fresh Drinks. Thank you. Would love to come back .“

“We spent our afternoon eating here during our weekend together. Is there anything left to desire here? Their dishes satisfy cravings and the setting puts you at ease. Our brief culinary exploration here was reasonable. The spot offers an enjoyable setting.“

“Accidentally I stumbled on to this place,my mom is the one that goes here.She constantly buys doubles for the family whenever she visits.My wife came here also a week ago.Today I was just in area and decided to get the family 7 doubles,and a chicken Roti for myself.I was surprised the chicken Roti tasted real good.The doubles as always was tasty and delicious.So if you're in this area,they are not to far from Prospect park, where Empire Blvd and Flatbush Ave intersect.“

“I came across this place as I was walking up 9th Street soon as I walked in the music was great very inviting drinks very generous!!! I will definitely be having either brunch lunch or dinner here!!!“

“Great local spot with great vibes, food and drink. Creative fusion as well. Luv the Oxtail Dumplings and Braised Rib Bao Buns!!!“

“This spot has won me over completely. Staff members performed with the excellence this place is known for. Despite beautiful plating, the food was overly salted. The menu covers various food categories. This place has earned our commitment.“

“Great food! Big portions, finger-lickin good“

“Good Food, Good Vibes, Good Wine Based Drinks and the best Chef and Mixologist out there.“

“The food was good, but they really need to do better about customer service. We had a party of Nine that wanted to dine-in. We were given no help only told us to put the table back after we moved them together ourselves to seat us. Luckily we dine in because we was missing a full order of Rasta pasta. My mom order okra and fish. We were missing the okra so they refunded me a dollar. As we were leaving the young lady approached me saying they gave her pumpkin that she didn’t order or want and asked for the dollar back. I was very surprised about that. As I said customer service was not up to standard.“

“I looove sally's. They truly never miss. The jerk veggie dumplings, amazing. The tostones, huge and crispy. That dressing the greens are tossed in? I'd eat straight greens everyday with whatever that is. Random, but I love their crushed ice. The curried chicken is my favorite but everything is honestly so good. Staff is always super cool and friendly and the music is amazing.

When friends visit from out of town our go to place is always Sally's - whether it's for dinks or a good meal, the quality and consistency is there and it's a neighborhood favorite for me.“

“Overall, the experience was great! Unfortunately, there was a decently long black hair I slurped up in my frozen Long Island. The server made it right and replaced the drink. Our appetizer took about 15 minutes as they were honest and shared it was delivered to the wrong table. I still recommend The Ranch despite some of the minor setbacks. Great environment and waitstaff!“

“This restaurant shows cost consciousness. The employee was cheerful while explaining what dishes contained. The restaurant is in a bustling area. You'll be satisfied with both portion and price. All in all, it's impressive and terrific !!!“

“Pleasant experience and beautiful place, nice drinks! Give it a try! Music, too! 🥂“

“I love going there i always get nice stuff and yes it's a 5“

“Best oxtail Best Seafood Best Staff in the neighborhood. Keep supporting local affordable businesses that built this neighborhood and sustain it!! Tip extra, tip the kitchen, what is stopping you from believing in the families that nurture you? One Love 💕“

““Delicious food and great service, compliments to the chef!” 👨‍🍳 🙌🏽👊🔥“

“First time trying Omars (as a trini it’s hard to find good Caribbean food) but they did not disappoint. Ordered sliders, ribs, jerk chicken and oxtail. Everything was 10/10 (the lamb was maybe an 8 for me as it was a bit too crispy for my liking) but honestly still so delicious. Will definitely be going again“

“Great staff and even better food 💜“

“Idk what happen to my review I left but food was really good. Service can be worked on but hey it’s expected honestly lol I drove 8 hours to New York for and stayed awake all day, got here around dinner to order food for the first time and the one lady was mad bc I was confused with veggie doubles vs regular doubles. Otherwise I would definitely come back and suggest to others. Spicy eggplant roti & doubles are soo tasty.“

“This is THE spot. Jerk chicken is some of the best I've ever had. There's a good char that's smokey and flavorful without any bitterness. The spice is a warm heat with the right amount of sweet. Rice and peas cooked incredibly well, not dry at all. And the cabbage is perfectly tender not mushy. There patties are low-key solid. Curry Chicken is a bit better than the beef in my opinion opinion. But the crust on all is flakey and the filling is flavorful with good spice.

I've tried the fried chicken and macaroni both good but not worth getting. I just got for the jerk chicken platter and patties“

“Try the codfish cakes. Scrumptious! Curry is always good and oxtails are braised perfectly. The food is savory and seasoned well. Love the comfort on the restaurant, great place to try out some Antigua cuisine. The menu has American food also. I highly recommend Cafe Metro.“

“I found this restaurant on Tik Tok and I’m sooo glad I did! I had the best oxtail I’ve probably ever had!!! Thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will be sure to go again whenever I’m in the area!! 🤌🏾“

“Had the Turkey wings with rice & peas,steam veg & plantains.it was amazing..bess food.food lick“

“I've been here several times but, this was the first time I asked for veggie paella & asked them to add shrimp °•~ It was so good !!!

I also had Ceasar Salad & Shrimp Ceviche which was also good with lychee martinis 🥂.“

“Лучшее место в Москве чтобы томно провести вечер.“

“Vibes? Wonderful. Food? Immaculate. Very welcoming environment and customer service was excellent. At the end of the day, we’re here for the food and it was amazing!! We had jerk chicken and curry chicken along with Rasta pasta and rice & peas. Flavors on point and we will be back! Highly recommend!!“

“The restaurant has a nice vibe and the food was good, but not exceptional for the cost. Unfortunately, someone at the next table was loudly talking on his phone FaceTiming a friend. The wait staff should have intervened. It went on for about 15 minutes. We do not plan on returning.“

“My home away from home. My go to place for back home meals. I am here right now Real Tim talk going in.“
