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. 👍🏼😋👏🏼“

“I work in Midtown Manhattan and everyone in the company has tasted the cuisine of So Good Cuisine LLC... we licked our fingers with that seafood ham and chofan... wow how delicious, just remembering it is a pleasure to the palate... Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“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.“

“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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

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

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

“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-“

“Exploring Brooklyn for the first time, while visiting from Boston, my wife and I were referred to Sally's Restaurant. It is a small and cozy restaurant with a pleasant atmosphere. The food was very flavorful and the portions were the right size. The customer service was fantastic. We look forward to eating there again when we visit New York.“

“Great hangout! The food is amazing, I love everything I’ve ever had here and the margaritas are sublime, especially the peach, yum! Mickey, Juliana and Kim really make you feel at home, go here when you don’t know where to go and then keep going.“

“Fine dining, great service, good food what more can you ask for. It was great to watch the chef at work skillfully preparing our meals. We left stuffed and with leftovers. Date night was special thanks Kabawa for the attention to detail and making it special. Will definitely be back for that pork belly!
Go here!!“

“Tina at the bar was was extremely amazing! I ordered the 21 SideCar, and it gets the job done! Food was everything as well!! The Crab Cake App, The Jerk Ribeye, and the, Honey Crunch Salmon were 10/10s. Thank you to Taylor as well! The staff are sweethearts and I can't wait to come back.“

“This place feels like home! Latoya the server/bartender was extremely kind, as was the chef! The food is not salty, savory, and they are not stingy on the oxtail dishes. I would recommend indeed! This was my first time here, and it won’t be my last“

“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.“

“This is a cool spot. Simple but delicious food. Really enjoyed our experience!“

“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!“

“Lilli's is exceptional. The menu is nothing short of amazing, both inviting and inventive. The food was very tasty and came hot and in a timely fashion. The ambiance carried a nice vibe, with music playing in the background, not to loud, and low lighting that set just the right mood. I will certainly be back again and again.“

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

“Great service, Great food“

“I absolutely love this place! It was fantastic 20 years ago, and I'm happy to say it's just as amazing today.

Ranea was a wonderful server. She made sure my hibiscus mojito was perfectly balanced, tangy, yet sweet. Hours later, I'm still thinking about that drink!

For appetizers, I had the codfish fritters with guacamole on the side. They were hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. For dinner, we shared the sampler platter, and everything came out hot and full of flavor. The jerk chicken was smoked to perfection, and the oxtail was so tender it literally fell off the bone.

Negril Village, right in the heart of the West Village, is a must-visit. Whether you're grabbing a bite before a comedy show, stopping in afterward, or simply looking for a great place to relax and enjoy the vibe, this spot never disappoints.“

“Beautiful place Great food and Great Drink's and the staff is excellent.“

“Yummy eats! Plantain sandwiches are bomb!“

“The food is always good. There was so many workers, ( someone opening the door/security, and then there was a worker on the main floor restocking/replenishing).. so many people, I guess everything was moving smooth. But to me, It was just feel a little chaotic, as to where to stand to wait for your order. There was deliveries, people using the kiosk, people in the shop ordering bake and shark having to pay for it first and then going and waiting for it. FOOD WAS GREAT!“

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

“Very nice restaurant in a brownstone bldg with large windows, a full bar, beautiful Afrocentric art and a spiral staircase to the second floor.

The food was pricey but amazingly delicious 🤤. We had a truffle burger (8 out of 10), braised oxtails (8 out of 10), rice and beans (7 out of 10), Ras & pasta (8 out of 10) , mussels appetizer (10 out of 10) and Caesar salad (9 out of 10).

The wait staff were friendly and courteous but I thought could've been a bit more attentive as we had to actively search for our water glasses to be refilled and also seek out someone after no one came to take the drink order.

Other than that there was live music that was really nice (although a bit too loud).

I'd definitely recommend visiting this place for lunch/dinner.“

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

“We had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, fresh, and full of tasty cuban flavor. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. We especially enjoyed the mojitos and the generous portions. We definitely recommend it for birthday celebrations!“

“Best roti I have ever had. This was one of my favorite food spots when I lived in flatbush. I always got the same thing. I am so sad that I moved two states away. Whenever I go back to Brooklyn I always stop by de hot pot and get some stock for my freezer 😋😋“

“We got so much food the best of the best was the lychee martini wings tacos salmon salad chicken and rice Mac and cheese mushroooms green beans. Everything was so well seasoned the flavors were bursting in my mouth it was all incredible and the servers were extremely attentive. The music is soooo good and the place was a vibe. Felt
Like home in here. I definitely suggest cominf here for a real taste of New York. I’ll be back!!“

“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.“

“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 .“

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

“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!!!“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“Ariel the manager is amazing Excellent food and great atmosphere nest of bergen county!“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“I come to this restaurant at least three times a month, and I’ve been going here for 15 years. It’s truly great—the food is always fresh and delicious. They have the best tres leches, and everything they make tastes consistently good and fresh. Highly recommend!“

“Just an Asian guy commenting. Been to Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Atalanta, and this place is up there in terms of flavor and texture. Wings are amazing. So surprised of wings, hit the spot. Mac and collard greens will satisfy as well. But wings are 🫰🏼🫰🏼“

“I found this restaurant on the IN KIND app, and the menu looked great. I don’t live far, so I was a little skeptical since I had not heard of it, I used to own a restaurant in the neighborhood, and I eat out several times a week in Manhattan and Brooklyn at the same places that I love, and I also love cooking amazing food for family and friends.

Let’s say, I was pleasantly surprised, and actually blown away! My family is Jamaican, so fusion isn’t always my thing, but this restaurant did the most amazing job with all of the food! The proteins honored the culture, and the fusion elements actually mirrored my favorite Chinese Jamaican spot in Ocho Rios, so all of it honored its roots! ON TOP OF THAT, the vegetables were fresh and flavorful—not overcooked! Excellent. And the jasmine rice was the best rice that I have had anywhere in NYC. PERIOD. A chef that cares about the RICE is definitely putting his foot in the rest of the meal! I had to call back to get the name of Chef Bunny - I needed to know who COOKED that food! And Amanda was extremely helpful with taking our order and fixing a little boo boo in our pickup order. She had the incorrect item Lyft couriered to us - I appreciate the extra effort and expense, as I know restaurants have a tight profit margin. I will definitely be back to dine in - can’t wait.

Our group got the oxtail, jerk chicken, pineapple and basil fried rice, and the ORANGE chicken - I tasted and ate all - each one better than the next. And we topped it off with the bread pudding (and added Haagen Das and whipped cream at home).“

“best fish and grits in brooklyn“

“This is my second time at MangoSeed Brooklyn and the food never fails. Everything was so good, especially the jerk chicken and mac & cheese!

Also have to give a special shoutout to Tania! She was so sweet, friendly, and made the experience even better. Amazing food and amazing service.“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“After moving to Bergen County I was on a mission to find the best Jamaican food spot. I’m from Queens, NY and I miss my South Ozone Park / West NY food.

I go to a gym nearby and just randomly found this spot and thank goodness I did.

The food is really good, everything is well balanced in terms of flavor and the hospitality is great.

We’ve all seen that “we don have dat” video and this is the opposite. If he doesn’t have it, give him a minute to work his magic. Your patience will be rewarded.

If you like good seasoned food, just give it a try, you won’t be disappointed. I know I wasn’t. I’ll be coming here every time I crave oxtails and fried chicken.“

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

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