50 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Bronx

“My husband loves getting breakfast here when he is going to work. The food taste delicious and the staff is very polite. They offer jamaican cuisine. You can get curry chicken back, jerk chicken, fish, goat, oxtail, rice and peas, white rice, boiled food/ ground provision, steamed and fresh veggies, baked goods, festival, fritters, soup and porridge. This morning I got steamed calaloo & saltfish with fried dumplings and plantains. Hubby got white rice and curry chicken back. The restaurant can get a little crowdy and you may have to wait a few minutes to be served, but it's worth the wait. Also there is no parking lot available but you can find parking on the street easily. They also sell freshly squeeze juice. Overall I highly recommend them for breakfast, lunch and dinner.“

Nuff a the food were finished(sold out) but we got the pepper steak w/rice&peas and raw vegetables (shredded carrots and cabbage,love it!) and sweet chilie wings w/rice and peas.

“Checked out Drips on a Wednesday evening for happy hour which lasts all day. I loved the space. It’s small inside, but gives upscale vibes. They have a mix of high chair and regular seating. They were playing RnB hits all night which was great when the drinks kicked in. Everything for happy hour is approximately $6-$8 so I tried the Sweet Chili wings and passionfruit lemon drop. The wings were crispy and fresh! This was my first time having a lemon drop and the flavor was delicious. I also tried the Mango Lemon drop too. I would recommend either! Service isn’t speedy, but it is not terrible. You have good music, great ambiance and drinks.“

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

“This was my first time trying their food. I had the Curry Chicken lunch and dumplings (they were tasty after I reheated them). The CC, sweet plantain and cabbage were good! But I don't know why Jamaican restaurants only give you a table spoon of cabbage 😁. The rice was okay but a little dry even with gravy. The serve J. was nice!“

“I’ve purchased food from this restaurant a few times and I have no complaint about it. I ordered fried chicken with white rice and curry goat gravy with oxtail. The food was good. The chicken was a bit salty for my liking but the flavor was there and everything was cooked well. The price for that specific dish is also very reasonable. Would recommend.“

“Jerk chicken this weekend was great. Time before this was terrible. I have been here several times and it is seemingly hit or miss. Depends on who cooked the food. Jerk chicken, cabbage and plantains. All delicious this time. Hopefully it can remain consistent as its a treat when its good.
Their plantains are always good.
Patties most times good…had a couple of misses. Too mushy on the misses. They actually don’t do too bad with mac n cheese which is a first for me from a WI restaurant. Its not great but its not at all bad.
Overall, we will continue to support. The cashiers are always very pleasant as well…especially the young man…he is refreshingly delightful. IYKYK when it comes to the Jamaican spots….“

“good music 🎶 excellent crowd on point“

“- Loved the food, specially the Ox-tail empanada and Salmon tacos. Mash potatoes was good as well. I went by myself looking for comfort and peace, got some work done. Good lighting, the service was quick and polite. Not sure if it was an off night but not a lot of people which is fine by me. Definitely going for the food again, definitely a place that people should consider going. The drinks are cool, nothing too crazy tho“

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“I've been here a few times and the thing that keeps me coming back is the flavour of the dishes that I ve tried . It is consistent ! The chef cooks with love , you can taste it . This is one of those places I look forward to going to . Not because there is no other choice , but because The deliciousness stays on my mind . If you soo happen to find yourself here.

“I just would like to say I love this restaurant so much everything is always so flavorful and worth the money. To anyone who reads any negative reviews about the owner PLEASE do not listen to that. He is a kind man and I see a few reviews of people saying he’s rude and miserable and that is Not true at all. Wonderful food and service. I will be back with my food pics ?“

They included catfish, burger, ribs, and tacos, and French fries were really good. Desserts were also yummy. The service was friendly and attentive.“

You can taste the love and culture in every bite. BIG respect to the crew , This spot will never Disappoint you.Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to — highly recommend!!!!!“

“Fresh food, great prices, big portions.Empanadas anywhere in the BX are $2-$2.50. here they are $1. Everything here was priced more affordably compared to any of the other Dominican spots on 138th street and in the neighborhood. Big plates. Also, they cater to the blue collar crowd. Lunch food is ready by 9:30AM. Perfect lunch spot if you're a city worker, construction, etc.“

“Great food & the service is great ....Waiters are always smiling...Great atmosphere“

“**Review for Les Q**

I have been a loyal customer of Les Q for the past 4.5 years, and my experience has been consistently outstanding. The owner, Howie, truly sets this place apart with his warm hospitality and dedication to excellence. The staff at Les Q is equally amazing, always attentive and friendly, making every visit a pleasure.

The food at Les Q is consistently good, which is a rarity in many places. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you can always expect delicious, well-prepared dishes. The menu offers a great variety, and everything I've tried has been top-notch.

Overall, Les Q is a gem of a restaurant, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking good food. Kudos to Howie and his fantastic team for their exceptional service and culinary consistency!“

“This food was really really good and the staff were very respectful towards me, I almost never have Jamaican food on my own, and picked this up on my way to work after school and this was DA BOMB!! I even asked them to surprise me, and they delivered with the oxtail, rice and peas, and plantains.“

“had brunch to celebrate friends birthday and had a great time .“

“First time coming here and the food was excellent. I had the jerk chicken with rice n peas and cabbage. It was cooked with love and inexpensive.
Drinks were done right. I had the rum punch and coconut margarita. However the cups it was served in definitely not worth $15. Please change that.
Music was good though I preferred more reggae for being a Caribbean lounge.
Service was excellent never waited long for food or drinks to come out. Our server who is also bartender was super sweet and attentive.“

“Coconut Palm Restaurant just transported my taste buds on a first-class flight to the tropics! Nestled like a hidden gem in the heart of the city, this vibrant spot is a celebration of island vibes, bold flavors, and seriously good food. Now, let’s talk food. The coconut shrimp? Crunchy golden bites of heaven, with a sweet chili dip that should probably come with a warning label: dangerously addictive. The jerk chicken had just the right kick—spicy enough to wake up your senses, but mellowed by a velvety coconut rice that deserves its own fan club. And the tropical cocktails? Let’s just say I now fully understand the phrase “drink in paradise.” Whether you’re out for date night, catching up with friends, or just craving an edible vacation, Coconut Palm Restaurant delivers a dining experience that’s both fun and unforgettable.“

“The black cake was very moist and taste great. I was very pleased will order again.“

“Wanted to take some time to show my appreciation. My family and I were very pleased with our selection of this establishment for our repast service for my mother. The owner was very accommodating in short notice. The buffet that was laid out was just what we ordered. Place was very clean and the service from the staff was amazing. Really can’t say enough about that part. From the picking up of finished plates, them coming around with multiple fruit options, opening up for us 20 mins early so we weren’t in the blazing sun, and the show of support in our time of grieving. Tonia thank you for going above and beyond. 5 stars for sure. Once again my family and I humbly thank you.“

“Always pass this place for years and wanted to try, it took me long enough but I tried it and it was delicious. 10/10 for me. I tried the veggie salmon and pasta with plantain and a ackee patty. Delicious. No complaints“

“Great food the juice bar good“

“I have been patronizing this restaurant for over 15 years. The food is pretty good, breakfast, lunch and dinnertime. The food is always freshly prepared. Customer service is professional and well mannered. The prices are reasonable and the food portions are adequate. Love their fried dumpling, goat water and chicken soup I have also used them for catering of large gatherings and never disappointed.“

“I absolutely love this place. I love Ali's so much that I travel from Connecticut all the way back to the Bronx to enjoy there food. I have enjoyed their boneless chicken roti for years. But now since they moved to their new location, they have added some delicious new options. I never had Doubles so good. Now the add chicken, or beef, or shrimp, you name it they probably add it. Delicious!!!!!! The customer service is thru the roof wonderful. The prices are very workable. All in all this is an amazing place through and through. If your ever in the Bronx and find yourself on Whiteplains Rd, make your way up to 235th street and check out Ali's. I promise you wont be disappointed....I give you my personal stamp of approval. This place is ELLERBY certified.“

“We had just come from my uncle burial at Woodlawn cemetery. My cousins and I had not eaten anything, and we were hungry. We google the closest latin restaurant and we found this location. They had food in a buffet style behind the counter. They had different type of soup. All kinds of meats and rices which meant the food will be served quickly. The food was delicious and low in sodium. The only thing that surprised me was that they didn't have red onion in the sauce, which is common for the green banana, no avocado, and no alcoholic beverages. Again, the food is the star.“

“This Golden Krust is amazing! The supervisor and staff were so kind and friendly, making the experience even better. The chicken soup was absolutely delicious—so flavorful and comforting. And the beef patty? Perfectly flaky and packed with flavor. I’ll definitely be coming back for more. Highly recommend!“

“Absolutely love the curry chicken and portion size is good.“

“Don’t know why this has mixed reviews cause my experience was pretty decent, portions were good, service was excellent, the lady who served me went above and beyond to get me a nice plate and the food was good as well rice and peas with oxtail, the rice was soft and the meat was tender and juicy, absolutely no complaints, will come back to try their jerk chicken which they had ran out for the day when I came in, keep up the good work!“

“My experience has always been amazing, both in person and online. This is my favorite restaurant. Paul has been doing an amazing and excellent job. He takes his time to go to the limit in making sure his customers are happy and meals are prepared how we requested. They are trustworthy and I thank God I have somewhere I don’t have to ever be concerned about when ordering online. Keep up the good work PAUL….?????????????“

“Food here is delicious. ? The jerk chicken is official. ?? Cooked on the char grill. And, the stew peas with dumplings.. is a Yes.. Now, I don't have to drive all the way uptown anymore.. Nor have to cross any bridges. Thank you, Ben!??“
