50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near West New York

“My family is Venezuelan and we come to Bergenline to visit our Peruvian side of family, so weirdly we’ve never looked for Venezuelan food. The tequeños were decent and the arepa pabellón criollo was sooo yummy (pic inserted). But the part that made me so happy were the candies- El Susy y el Toronto. Took me to my childhood right away! We will be back.“

“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.😀“

“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!“

“We were very appreciative of how the chef transported us to the Caribbean with both flavors and ambiance. My wife, from Trinidad, was pleasantly surprised by presence of Trinidadian flavors and the new dishes they introduced us to from the Spanish Caribbean. She said she felt like she was back home while cracking open a delicious tamarind and while scooping out some fresh coconut ice cream. We also appreciated the finer details from the glassware to the sides to the drink recommendations from our very attentive server (go Damani!). We will come again!“

“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.“

“Lavender Room has become a weekly spot for my friends and I after work — the perfect place to grab drinks, chill, and unwind from a long week. The staff, the music, and the food are all incredible. It stands out from other bars with its classy atmosphere and the ability to have a private, one-on-one moment with your date. It’s truly unmatched.“

“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“

“Last night I took my date to Mango Bay for a late Valentine's Day dinner, and it was nothing short of spectacular. The atmosphere was lovely, the service was fantastic, and the food was nothing short of incredible. If you're reading this review and are anything like me ("for these prices, this food better be worth it"), do not hesitate to come here - it is worth it. I had let them know I'd be asking my date to be my girlfriend in our reservation note, and the staff went above and beyond for us: they brought us a pastry and two glasses of champagne to end the night - on the house. Mango Bay, you earned two lifelong customers in my now-girlfriend and I last night. We will definitely be back, and we'll be telling our friends and family they need to come here as well. Thank you so much for helping make a special night even more special. (posting the same review here as I did on Google because I need to make sure the staff sees it, and that people know about this place - that should let you know how great of an impression they left on us last night!)“

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

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Delicious food & fabulous atmosphere and service.“

“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 .“

“It can get really packed with long lines but they will service you with respect and you can always have a conversation on the line while you wait. Don’t come with an attitude and expect to rush in and out. Only thing is they do not take credit card / debit card as a payment only cash but that’s minor.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The food was great at BunNan and the service was amazing with Race and Jimmy, they were so accommodating and brought out a candle and a great desert that was bread pudding with cremas drizzled over it!!!!! The food was so good, the plantain sliders, the Tassot rice bowl, the meat was moist, not dry and it was tender. Their secret sauce is definitely a hit and the carmelized onions were amazing. The food was really good and fulling. Thank you for the birthday love ❤️ Love Cindy“

“I was unfamiliar with this restaurant, but my husband received a gift card from his colleagues at his retirement party. We came for Valentine's Day and were very pleased with the choice! We started with Old Fashioned and Fried Green Tomatoes. Perfect batter and crunch. The bacon jam gave the perfect amount of bite. Mr. TSwi had fish (sorry - no photo). I had the garlic clove stuffed filet. It was fork-tender and so delicious. Potatoes fried in tallow butter were decadent. We had the Bread Pudding for dessert - and the leftover for breakfast Sunday morning. Overall, great value for the quality of the food. Not ridiculously expensive. Not ostentatious (TSwi wore jeans and a blazer and was well-dressed compared to others.) We will look forward to coming back again soon.“

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

“It’s become really hard to find consistently good jerk chicken these days. A lot of my former favorite spots have fallen off and with food like this, you can tell when the love and effort aren’t there anymore.
That said, this place absolutely nailed it. The jerk chicken was a home run perfectly seasoned, flavorful, and cooked just right. The rice and peas and the sides were just as impressive. If I lived closer, I’d honestly eat here every day. That’s how good it is.

The only small negatives were the packaging and the limited sauce, but truthfully, the chicken didn’t even need much extra. Overall, this spot is a definite hit.“

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

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

“Everything so delicious, so tasty, fantastic catering for family funeral event, everything well packaged and delivered properly, my guest had very happy bellies.“

“The customer service was excellent. I ordered oxtail and fried plantains. The meat was so flavorful and melted off the bone. And the fried plantains were perfectly crispy. I was excited to find a Haitian restaurant in the neighborhood. The food felt authentically Caribbean. I will certainly be coming back.“

“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.“

“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“

“Today I had aloo pie with beef, so good. Well worth the time, money and trip. Double so soft, sweet and nice. Im was happy as I don’t spend money on outside food often. Ladies were attentive & polite. Definitely would go back for that again. Spent 11.50 for one plain double and beef aloo pie. Within a budget, thanks for lunch“

“Omar's Kitchen and Rum Bar has an amazing aesthetic and serves truly authentic Jamaican food. The brown stew snapper and codfish fritters are staples for me every time I visit..they never disappoint. The service is excellent, and the food and drinks are always on point. If you're looking for great vibes and incredible Caribbean cuisine, this is definitely a place you need to check out.“

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

“Great staff and even better food 💜“

“Лучшее место в Москве чтобы томно провести вечер.“

“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!! 🤌🏾“

“I’ve been coming to MangoSeed for years (that should tell you something in itself). I love it here. The food, the staff, the vibe, especially the music. It’s such a cozy, and welcoming environment. My go-to’s are the fish tacos, the plantain, and jerk wings. You can’t go wrong visiting MangoSeed. You’ll be just as hooked as I am.“

“Ate here with my family on a Saturday night. We took an uber to this location as we figured trying to find parking would not be good. The service and food was good. I couldn’t rate the food 5 stars as my steak was not the one I ordered and the meat was chewy. I didn’t rate the atmosphere 5 stars either as the place is quite small and not too much space to stand around while waiting for a table. If in the area, I do recommend stopping here for some authentic Cuban food.“

“We celebrated my mother’s 75th birthday with 40 guests at this chic restaurant back in April, and the experience was absolutely fantastic. I cannot stop thinking about how special this was for my mom. From start to finish, everything was seamless, and that was largely thanks to Kiara, the restaurant's event director. She was incredibly attentive, warm, and made sure every detail was just perfect.

The food was delicious, the ambiance was beautiful, the DJ was amazing and all of our guests felt truly special. I can’t recommend this place enough for any milestone celebration. Huge thanks to the entire team and especially to Kiara for making it a night to remember!“

“I grew up eating Jamaican food and this is hands down the best Jamaican restaurant that I’ve been to in Brooklyn! The food is consistently delicious and made to order — no food sitting out on a heater waiting for someone to order. I’ve had the jerk shrimp, curry shrimp roti, jerk salmon, and other items and the food is always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. They sell juices and cake which are also amazing. I’ve been going here once a week since the pandemic started and I’m always so excited to get my food. The owner is amazing and is dedicated to always providing five star service and food.“

“I have been buying from Suzys since they opened and they have NEVER disappointed me. The food is top notch and the service is an example to all Caribbean restaurants. I love this place. I buy a tray of goat for my Thanksgiving meal EVERY YEAR and it's always on point. I hope this place stays open as long as I live. I literally recomment everything on the menu. Thank you Suzys!!!“

“The food was exceptional. However, a lot of the items on the menu was not available. I understand it was probably due to the snowstorm we recently experienced causing delays with deliveries, so I didn't allow that to impact my rating. What was on the menu was delicious, I will be back!“

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

“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!!!“

“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.
