“Was there last night celebrating a friend’s birthday and we all had a time. The food was amazing, the music was fantastic, and the owner is the sweetest. The restaurant is fairly new so, when you walk in please be patient. It’s only the owner and one other woman working there at the moment, but I promise the wait is worth it! Sasha makes you feel a part of the community the moment you step foot inside her restaurant. You just have to be there to understand!“
“I walking into this restaurant looking for a quick but fresh lunch. The space was very clean and orderly. The staff is attentive and personable. I ordered a burrito with pernil, corn salsa, pickled red onions and cheese. As a side, I got the chickpea and cucumber salad. I really have to say I was very impressed with the freshness and flavor of the food without being over seasoned. Next time I will remember to write a review before I devour all the food. ?“
“Delicious oxtail black mushroom rice plantains, jerk wings and Mac & cheese! I got it delivered. 3:09 got here at 3:32. I live 5 minutes away so that was great time! The only bad thing I gotta say is, o ordered while my wife was at the gym & I really wanted to eat it all! Lol reluctantly, I saved her half! You guys almost made me disrespect my wife by not sharing with her! ? great food guys! I will be back!“
“I went there today with my mom and dad and had a great lunch.They had the oxtails and I had the red snapper steam fish. Both dishes were delicious. Very authentic in seasoning and presentation of the meals. Made me feel like I was back home in jam down. Real yardy style. We were very satisfied and the owners were very warm and inviting.“
“Very good jerk chicken and cabbage. Service was fine but you have to wait. Staff very nice. Small establishment. My only gripe is I paid $10 for medium size chicken and it was cut into pieces. I don't believe it was half of chicken. Other than that it was fine.“
“Me and my mother ate there for the first time I orderedThe rasta pasta with the honey jerk chicken breast And she had the macaroni and cheese collard greens and lamb chops not only was the food excellent?They most definitely give you your money's worth Thank you for a great “
“The Owner and Staff were so Kind, helpful and welcoming. The most welcomed I’ve ever felt in any restaurant! Ever. The Location is spotless clean, and you walk in and the smell of fresh Grilled Jerk Chickenhits you instantly.I Had the Oxtail meal as well as the Jerk wings! Both were so good!! & fresh!The jerk wings were Crispy and sauced very well! I also purchased a homemade strawberry Ginger drink, that was amazing as well. This was my first time, but I’ll definitely be back, the entire experience of this restaurant is just that! An amazing experience, even for takeout! You’re treated with kindness and so much gratitude.You will not be disappointed by this place.“
“I only have ordered on uber eats so I don’t know service and atmosphere, but the oxtail is on point. The beef patties….. wow….. I need to know what spices they useGreat food. I have ordered MANY times in the past few weeks. And will continue“
“I come to Y.U.P.P. just about every week and I have to say it’s one of my favorite places. The food is excellent, the drinks are great, and the staff is always very welcoming.My favorites are the YUPP Curry Chicken, Hearty Beef, and the Spicy Oxtail. I’m always on the go so this is the perfect lunch time meal to have. If you want an excellent patty and you want to hear some great music or even play PAC Man while you wait I highly recommend checking out YUPP! I also frequent both locations and I look forward to seeing the next location open.“
“Me and my friends went for all day happy hour brunch and Serenity was AMAZING. She took care of us so well, she made sure we were fed great and the food and drinks were amazing, me and my friends came for “2 drinks” and left after shots and way too many drinks. Everytime we needed Serenity she came to us. She was great and we will be coming back for her!!!!!“
“Royal Taste Restaurant offers an explosive Jamaican culinary experience. The jerk chicken, boasting an authenticity level of 876%, delivers a flavorful punch. The curry goat mesmerizes with its aromatic buzz and rich taste, while the oxtail seals the deal on satisfaction. The well-executed fried chicken adds another layer of delight. With an extensive menu, this spot promises a continued journey of delectable discoveries. A must-visit for those craving an authentic taste of Jamaican cuisine.“
“We drove 40 mns to Bon Appétit Caribbean on a Saturday afternoon. I was not disappointed!Great customer service.The food was fresh, super delicious, i ordered a large duri Djondjon with chicken, they gave me enough food to feed 2 people. The macaroni salad was great, duri djondjon was awesome, and the chicken was well seasoned.The next day i went, i got again a large duri Djondjon and fried turkey, Once again, everything was DELICIOUS. If you're in Irvington or close by, this is one spot that I'd definitely recommend! They have REAL SEASONED HAITIAN FOOD“
“I live walking distance from Bekka’s. When she first opened we had some jerk chicken and oxtail. It was okay but not great. However, this morning I had the ackee and salt fish with banana and yam, and it’s the best I ever had. I grew up in East Orange and have been to various Caribbean restaurants and this was the best Jamaican breakfast ever!“
“This was our second time having dinner there. We had a great dining experience the first time which caused us to celebrate our wedding anniversary the second visit. They sat us in the same booth from our original visit which gave us the same server. She was excellent the first time as well as the second. The food was wonderful and the executive chef came out and introduced himself to us (nice touch). We plan on taking some friends with us the next time we go. Nice job Coco's!“
“This is the newest Jaincan spot I’ve tried since year. And as a true jamaican, it’s a 10/10. Everything prepared here is delicious and fresh. The chef puts life in all the dishes. They serve real jamaican breakfast every morning. They even switch it up for lunch and dinner. All types of authentic foods. You will have many options aside from rice & peace and chicken. My favorite things that’s always a hit is the porridge, soup of the day and fish. Oh and they have the BEST oxtails!! I could eat here every single day. The price no bad either“
“I must stress this to you as soon as you enter. The proprietor is really friendly! I neglected to order the stew chicken, but I did order the jerk, oxtail, and beef patties. You will not be let down! Your eyes will roll to the back of your head due to the sweetness and tenderness of the meats ???? soooo amazing!!!!!! Once more, go here if you want to enjoy excellent flavor and customer service!!!!!!“
“Oxtails rice and peas with cabbage and plantains was a good . This was my 1st time eating here and they definitely did not disappoint.Nice size portions, so flavorful,oxtails were so tender and juicy ,everything was seasoned to perfection, plantains we're actually sweet just the way I like them and the lady who answered the phone was very polite .I will be ordering again“
“I visited Sarrah's on a trip to NJ with my son and it was such a pleasant, happy experience! I felt like being at an aunt's house in Trinidad. Sarrah sat us down and served us her delicious doubles! She brought us an Apple J to go with it then kept checking on us to make sure we didn't need anything else. Her hospitality was impeccable and I was left with total admiration for the service and quality of Trinidadian food I received. I will definitely return.“
“2/6/2023. Had a taste for a patty and coco bread and this was the closest place to me and there was good reviews. I got a chicken patty because it wasn't spicy and it was $3.00 the coco bread was $1.00. The beard to the patty was nice and flacky but wasn't falling all over the place it had a decent amount of filling and the coco bread had a nice fresh taste to it, the only issue I have was I tasted more of the coco bread and the outside of the patty more than I tasted the filling of the patty there wasn't much flavor to it.“
“I have eaten here many times, and they never disappoint! I make it my business to eat from here when I come up to north Jersey. The service is always great. Everyone is friendly. The food is always amazing. I haven't gone here once and had a negative experience with the food. The curry shrimp is my personal favorite. Their desserts are delicious as well. The coconut rum cheesecake is lovely, and their new carrot cheesecake is the bomb. The prices are always super reasonable, and the portions are great. Love this place and highly recommend!!!!“
“5 big stars for Nardas a beautiful off the beaten path gem of a restaurant. Cozy intimate neighborhood Jamaican restaurant with delicious authentic island cuisine loved the food and we were treated like familyWhat could be better?Will definitely return to Nardas!!!!“
“Wow wow....freaking WOW. I ordered from here on Uber Eats and I'm always skeptical because Jamaican places are usually a hit or miss. Baby....this was a HIT!! From the moment I called on the phone to make sure they had cow foot that day, she was sooooo nice. Then the food arrived and GOOD God!!! Amazing. The Oxtail, Curry Goat, and Cow Foot....Amazing!!! Look no further!!! 20 out of 10 recommend!!“
“Drove about 25 minutes just to get some chicken roti. Decided to try this place based off the reviews and I am so glad we did. The food here was so tasty, fresh, and cooked with so much flavor. The service was good, it seems to be family- oriented. I would call ahead if you don't want to wait too long. They have a table inside but I would recommend to take the food to go. Definitely will be coming here again and hopefully trying the stew chicken!!!!!“
“Food was delicious and reasonable for someone on a budget. Was greeted and seated right away upon entering the restaurant. Booth seating was very uncomfortable and tight, need to upgrade those old seats. Service was okay nothing special basic.“
“Really good flavor kind customer service and really quick to get me out the door. I got one large order of oxtail and one small curry chicken, their portions are a good size and you get bang for your buck (also updating my review years later) got their curry goat and oxtail this time. The consistency remained. My DoorDash order arrived still hot and tender. Definitely recommend“
“I eat hear often and I love the Food. My job at the hospital was having a luncheon and I suggested Stars Pressure Pot. We had curry chicken, rice and peas and cabbage. Big up to the cook the food was awesome and so was the presentation. We will order again soon.Dietary restrictions: The food was great especially if you are not looking for extra spicy jamaican food.“
“The cook was so nice, I asked, "Do you have any vegetarian dishes?" She replied, "No" but she put a few things together for me because it was close to closing time. The food was very delicious! I didn't expect the carrots and green beans to be soft and flavorful, especially the mashed potatoes.“
“I had the pleasure of being served by Jacadi during a recent visit at Blended Flavors where I celebrated my 35th Birthday on March 22nd❤️, and I must say, her service was nothing short of exceptional. Her energy was infectious and added an extra layer of warmth to our dining experience. Not only did she effortlessly handle our large party's orders without a hitch, but she also didn't mind indulging our photo-taking moments, which made the occasion even more memorable. Jacadi truly embodied the essence of a great hostess, making sure everything was perfect from start to finish. Her attentive demeanor and impeccable service made our time at the restaurant truly delightful. Kudos to Jacadi for being an absolute gem of a waiter!“
“I love coming to this place every time I visit Newark, New Jersey. The food reminds me of the motherland Nigeria. I love the fact they have special soups for everyday of the week…Mon-Fri and they all taste amazing. I do recommend their Efo-Riro you can never go wrong with that meal. And their Jollof Rice is practically the best Jollof in Newark. Don’t argue with me argue with your mother oooo. But sincerely if you want a good naija meal and you are in the Newark, NJ area stop by you won’t regret. ??“
“This is not my first time getting food from here. The food is very good. It will always surprise me how the workers behind the counter seem to be bothered by my presence in their establishment. Each time I have approached the counter with a smile and "Hello." I get asked "Whatcha want?" I think I got a nod this last visit. This will never be an acceptable start to successful customer service. Fabulous food. Nice spot. Too bad the servers don't seem happy to be there.“
“I know that Irvington definitely is a stop everytime I am in NY,NY and NJ because of Big G Jamaican. It’s the best feel to dine here as it’s like eating home. Dig the vibe; folks outdoor chillin, plenty of seats inside and man that jerk sauce be ? ? that oxtail melts in your mouth!! The jerk is always fresh off the grill and don’t get me started with the chicken patties!! I’ll keep making trips here - give thanks for the great hearty food!“
“The best! This place is a staple in Elizabeth. At Two Brothers, you get the real American breakfast experience. What a wonderful feeling to walk back to my little breakfast joint and to enjoy this guys’s cooking. Thank you for the love you put into this. I love your business!“
“Chicken tamales are awesome! Called in an order close to closing time and was kindly accommodated even though they were in the process of cleaning up and such (the owner was shucking corn when I came in!). I even added to the order while the initial one was being prepared without being made to feel that I was being problematic. Had a nice convo with the owner about the history of her place. Nice staff, clean facility and good food!“
“This place has in this town for 28 years, there is a reason why they have been around so long. The owner is this wonderful sweet lady that, she is definitely Jamaican be a those Pattie’s hit different. The oxtails are succulent and falls off the bones, the plantain’s are sweet and crispy on the edges. If you’re looking for delicious Jamaica food go here, always call before you go because she starts cooking in the morning and at times the food isn’t ready until after 12pm but it’s very much worth the wait. ????The prices are very reasonable but those Pattie’s are to die for.“
“Minus one star for the hairs kind of a turn off (gross) but hey doesn’t get any fresher than that as if they killed it in the back lol… good food tho I was recommended by a customer and this is my honest review. You walk in it def old school vibes the smell of burnt smoky goodness! The pork was good the sauce was good. They have huge amounts of chopped meat in the back on the bone which was cool! I also had the bread pudding but ehh hard pass.. definately one of a kind place everyone should visit all the restaurants over 4.0 ratings in east orange it means they are doing something right!“
“I had Magela’s for the first time today ordered it online through DoorDash and I was tasty ,solid and filling. Recommend the small turkey w/Siri Jon Jon and not too pricey either worth it for sure. I’m also close so the food still super fresh.“
“Great vibes! My partner is Guyanese and I’m plain black American and I love the carribean vibes! Food is amazing. Servers are super sweet and attentive. If you don’t like carribean vibes this isn’t the place for you. I’d come every weekend if I could afford it !“
“Omg! I had the delightful pleasure of trying the red snapper in sauce. It was excellent!! The serving portions are large, as I share with four of my family and friends. My sister-in-law said she gives it a 10 while we were enjoying our meal.Please try the red snapper. Your taste buds will be happy you did. It’s delicious ?“
“We had an amazing dinner here! The food was delicious and Patricia is a sweetheart!Come and support local businesses and come try this cute little Cuban Restaurant with great food and awesome service.The roasted chicken was delicious, the Chicken Pastel was also so good. But the garlic sauce on the shrimp was amazing!!!Their Cafe con Leche was awesome in the cutest cup!Thank you Patricia! We will be back!“
