50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Arverne

“I'm visiting from Va. and I must say the food is good!!!!“

“I loveee it here! Our server immediately came over to us to take our order, was attentive, other staff checked in on us, I’m not sure if it was the chef or owner but he came over and spoke to my partner and gave us some good vibes.
We had a curry shrimp roti and a curry chicken roti and the chicken was sooo well cooked and seasoned omg, I loved the curry shrimp roti just as well. We will definitely be back.“

“An absolute vibe! Unbelievable fusion flavors, i.e., oxtail with wonton patties and crab cakes with spicy sauce. Kudos to the General Manager and servers who were incredibly attentive. I'm already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“Dey have rell ting fuh so an d place does always be busy, wid d occasional bacchanal behind d counter an in d kitchen, so yuh kno yuh gettin ah gud food.

Triniciti pholourie bowl have d biggest pholourie I ever see in my life (d ting properly sauced down too), issa must. Plain doubles ong is d best. Saltfish pie euphoric but is d fresh bake n shark daiz justice. Meat in d curry goat roti was a lil on d tough side, but other than that, fantastic (excellent dhalpuri, curry sauce, pumpkin, aloo, chana, bodi)!

If you've never visited and plan to stop by as a walk in customer, join the line/queue to place your order at the hot food counter (a staff member will greet you). There are several menus posted on the walls (some are on pieces of paper, then there's a huge menu above the area where the staff prepares/boxes up the orders).

After you place your order with a staff member they'll prepare/box it and send it over to the cashier. All you have to do is stay in line and wait until you get to the register to pay for your order.

While you're waiting in line, there's bread (hops, coconut bake, sada roti, etc), pastries, desserts (cassava pone, etc), and snacks (tunnock's milk chocolate caramel wafers, big foot, cheezees, tamarind ball, etc) that you can take to the register to add to your order.

There's also currant rolls, pepper sauce, red mango, plum, cherries, coconut drop, (i think i saw toolum?), etc, BEHIND the counter too! So if you see those items and you want to add them to your order, just let the cashier know when you get to the register.

There's cold beverage fridges behind the cashiering counter, so you can get a cold drink (homemade sorrel, mauby, peardrax, ginger beer, seamoss punch, peanut punch, etc).

If you're in line, please don't skip anyone, you might (will most definitely) get cuss by other customers, on top of which you will be politely asked to leave by staff (there's a rule about it, posted quite visibly on the walls).

If you don't want to stand in line or the ordering experience is a little overwhelming during your first visit because it's busy, you can place and pay for your order at one of the kiosks (there's 2 of them to the front of the restaurant). Then you can wait, either seated or standing, to collect it at the kiosk/pick up area which is right next to the kiosks (they'll call your name).“

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

“Good food all the time“

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

“This is the best food I’ve ever had, and without a doubt, I would come back a thousand times over! The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful, and the service was a 10/10. Everything was amazing! ✨
They have the best chef !“

“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 love this place for lunch. Something hardy, healthy and fulling. I'm not a vegan but this place is one that I've returned to many times. The ginger chicken is my absolutely favorite 😍. I usually get a small meal which comes with 2 sides and a protein. Ginger chicken, mac and cheese and kale 😋.“

“Great service with a wonderful smile; I considered this place a unicorn based on my experiences with food service. I ordered a small stew chicken with white rice and got the portion size that was more than enough. The food was flavorful however the chicken texture was not very tender. I imagine that the cook may have pan seared it a little longer than usual, however I did smack my lips as I blended the sauce with the rice and the cabbage was done just right.

RyRy's location is within Jamaica Market on Jamaica Avenue, Queens. The atmosphere is bright and quite lively. So much colour and variety in the space. The janitorial staff does an excellent job keeping the place spotless, immediately cleaning up after you vacate the tables.

A very delightful and delicious experience, I will definitely be returning.“

“Nice place to unwind and enjoy great service from the awesome bartender's Shorn and Linval. Those drinks are amazing very punching. (Rum Punch)“

“awesome place to eat very clean“

“Awesome experience and the food was great“

“First time visited. The food, service and ambiance were great. They have roof top dining which is what we did and the customer service was amazing. My drink was delicious, the food came quick and was hot and music was good also. The only thing I didn’t like was the smoking because I’m not a smoker but I guess that’s what the roof is for. Over all I liked it.“

“Visited from Orlando,Florida and was in the mood for some Guyanese homemade food for brunch. We ate here and they had a wide variety of food options from doubles, cook up, bake and salt fish and various curries paired with The best tasting roti I have had in a long time. We ended it all off with some very tasty Pastries that are homemade in store. The owner Serita is very hospitable and made sure we had everything and that we were well taken care of! If you are ever in the Queens/Long Island area I highly encourage you to stop in for a hearty meal“

“Good breakfast Good lunch and good dinner“

“Food was DELICIOUS!!! Home cooked. Fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Curried seafood!! The fried banga!!! Fried snapper!!! Fish cake. Ohhh... and the callaloo cook-up with nuff obstacles... salt beef, chicken and tripe!!! Definitely worth your money and time. The service was great. Very friendly staff. Will definitely frequent the establishment. Can't wait to try different selections.“

“The food here is amazing, fantastic even I would say the best. The Chicken Fried rice is really good and has tons of flavor with it without or without it's sauce.“

“Service & taste. We (group of 12) served by Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta did a great job by carefully taking our orders with special requests. All went very well & we were all pleased with the overall experience of taste & the service we’ve received. Will definitely be back for the great food.“

“I ordered the curry chicken and white rice for my son and ordered cow foot soup for myself. The curry chicken was seasoned well and tasted delicious. The cow foot soup was ok, I’ve had better but it was still decent. Not sure if I would order it again. They also have great lunch special options to choose from that also includes a drink. You’ll definitely get good value for your money when you order here.“

“Every dish I ordered during multiple visits was excellent. Bigan, pumpkin, katahar, Roti, bake and fine shrimp.“

“Great service and great energy she showed me love for my birthday 4:4 thank you bria“

“Wonder in Hoboken is a great option when everyone is craving something different. The menu offers a wide variety of cuisines all under one roof, making it easy to satisfy different tastes in one order. The food was fresh, flavorful, and prepared quickly. I always order the salads because they are consistently fresh, generously portioned, and packed with flavor. The convenience, variety, and overall quality make Wonder a solid choice for takeout or a casual meal. I'd definitely order from there again.“

“Never been disappointed with the food from New Thriving Restaurant here on 120-12 Liberty Ave. Queens!!! Can't get enough of the Jerk Chicken LoMein or Garlic chicken chow mein!!! Not to mention they serve you man size portion plates and with friendly/pretty smiles... I'm giving them 5 Stars on the food and service alone!!“

“Best food ever!!!! We couldn’t be more grateful to have found such an amazing place! Very authentic and flavorful. Not only does everything taste amazing, it’s always hot when delivered and even their fries stay crispy!!! A+ restaurant!!!!“

“They're serving up incredible Haitian cuisine and the vibe is just as good as the food. We had turkey, pork, goat, fish, black rice, all so fresh and flavorful! Trust me, it's worth it. That rum punch is delicious but sneaky strong, so pace yourself! They've got a bar, tables, host events, run weekend specials, and even had a DJ the night we went. Perfect for brunch, date night, or a girls' night out. The food just kept coming and I had to take so much home because I couldn't finish it all. If you're local, this is your sign to check them out!“

“Whenever I visit this establishment. I am treated very professionally by everyone. What I do like about this business I can call on the phone, place my order and pick up.
What stood out for me. I didn’t have enough cash on me, it’s a cash only business. The lady told me you can always bring back the money. There she had a customer for LIFE. Thank you for always taking great care of me.“

“The customer service is top notch. The welcome was very warm, it was our first time and the new owner’s mom, I forgot her name ☹ was soooooooo nice to us. We had our food and great conversation and I couldn’t say either one was less than great.“

“Excelente lugar para compartir en familia , rica comida“

“The large catering order last minute food was delivered on time, and his staff loved it“

“Amazing food! Will be back“

“The food was exceptional and scenery was great. We had a party of 14 and everything went smoothly.“

“Simplyva nostalgic place to visit. You feel like your waking along a small street down Puerto Rico! Of course the food is delish ( even if dangerously fried). But you only live once;)
Always aim to pick up a bunch of alcapurias and bacalaitos to wash down with Malta India whenever I visit BKLYN! P.S. also got my pastel gualladora here!“

“I had the shrimp Rasta pasta and really enjoyed it. It had just the right amount of spice, and the shrimp were seasoned really well. I also got the sweet plantains, which were sweet and tasty. The portions were good, and the price was reasonable for everything I ordered. I’d order again.“

“The food is well prepared, pleasantly served. Tasty, and with quite a selection of items for a place of it's size. They will combine different food items to suit your taste. Sometimes I don't know what I want, so I'll say "hook me up." I've never been disappointed!“

“wonderful family owned business <3 the owners were so welcoming and provided excellent hospitality. the brussels sprouts and sorrel spritz were spectacular, and their back patio was open later than other places in the vicinity with outdoor seating. fantastic restaurant, will definitely be returning!“

“Absolutely delicious. Had the oxtail plate and added Mac n cheese. Will definitely be back. Great seasoning I forgot to add the jerk sauce.“

“This is a very busy restaurant, but they are efficient and we did not need to wait long for a table. The decor is nice. Large paper palm trees in the corners and an assortment of masks on the walls.

The menu looks great for non-vegetarians. Not so great for vegetarians. The paella especially looked good. One of the members in our party had chicken and shrimp. The presentation looked impressive.“

“Certainly a must place to be. Great customer service. Comfortable vibe“

“Kassim’s Bakery is a wonderful place for fresh, flavorful, and authentic baked goods. Everything tastes freshly made, with great texture and delicious flavor.

A great spot for anyone looking for delicious bakery treats—I highly recommend Kassim’s Bakery!“

“First time here! I brought my friend for dinner. As a Chinese guy with “survival-level” English 😂, I was worried I’d somehow mess up my order. Luckily, the owner was incredibly patient, and everything went smoothly. We got exactly what we wanted, and every dish was absolutely delicious! Thank you for making my first visit such a great experience. I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!“
