50 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Bronx

“Stopped by randomly, around 9pm. 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. Firstly, rice and peas can eat by itself! Well nice!! She wanted oxtail but it was basically done but server(wish i got her name) gave us the few small pieces with the gravy to her rice. Looking forward to trying their curry goat. Represent Jamaican food lovely, support!!“

“Food was Amazing location is great weather on perfect day definitely feel like I’m back home inside is also spectacular dining area“

“Overall, the experience was great! Unfortunately, there was a decently long black hair I slurped up in my frozen Long Island. The server made it right and replaced the drink. Our appetizer took about 15 minutes as they were honest and shared it was delivered to the wrong table. I still recommend The Ranch despite some of the minor setbacks. Great environment and waitstaff!“

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

“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.“

“I've been there on multiple occasions and every time I've gone there I have never been disappointed! Food is always on point. Tastes great and nice and fresh. I would definitely recommend this Roti Shop to anyone that's looking for some good authentic roti.“

“Large selection of good tasty foods
Good atmosphere , good service

Parking: Just drive around and look for parking.

Kid-friendliness: Friendly for your kids and friendly for everyone.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes it is!!“

“I visited The 6 for the first time last month, and I’ve been going back ever since—at least three times a week! My bartender, Dom, has been absolutely amazing to both me and my husband. Her contagious energy instantly makes the place feel warm and welcoming. Not only are her drinks always on point, but she’s also extremely attentive—constantly checking in to make sure we’re good and if there’s anything else we need. She truly goes above and beyond every time. This is by far the best place I’ve been to, and it’s all thanks to Dom!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great food 🥘 Great staff. Always clean as well nice atmosphere“

“good music 🎶 excellent crowd on point“

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“I came across this food joint while running some errands in the neighborhood. It is beyond my expectations from a small take-out like place. The food is really delicious, flavorful! You can see the open kitchen in the back and it’s clean. The staff is also very friendly to give recommendations since I am not familiar with Jamaican food. I am still thinking about the food after 6 hours! It’s just so delicious! I may have to come back to the Bronx again just for this!“

“Really good food! Would recommend and return! Friendly staff too! 5 stars!“

“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. Try the stew chicken with curry chicken sauce . Don't knock it until you try it .“

“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 ?“

“Very delightful the workers are full of joy and love Godbless them and the food smell so great. I never ate here before ....coming from the mountains of PA ...shoot this is A blessing????????????I'm here right now dead serious... yoo yall should come ????come eat!“

“Very nice experience with 6 of us at Big Daddy's. The Caesar salad and dressing were delicious. We all had different mains, and everyone enjoyed their food. They included catfish, burger, ribs, and tacos, and French fries were really good. Desserts were also yummy. The service was friendly and attentive.“

“Carifesta Restaurant is one of the best spots in the Bronx! The food is full of flavor, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff make you feel right at home. 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“

“I’ve been coming here recently and love their creative food options. The staff is very kind. I like that they offer samples to customers. The oxtail Mac and cheese egg rolls are a hit as well as the oxtail smash burger. Their chicken soup is also delicious too!“

“At the moment you arrive in this restaurant team give you a pleasant feeling. Very comfortable waiters, it is a kind place to pass time with friends or with your date. very good meals, qualified chief cook and stuff, honest pay and excellent service. Warmly recommended.“

“**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!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great place great variety of West Indian food .“

“First of all I would like to say please people check out this cousin and make your order your missing out on the best jamaican/caribbean cousins....her cooking is second to none...please check it out“

“I always come to this spot like more than I should like my wallet has/is hurting.

The food is delicious, the price is decent (has increased with everything in life) but you can get right with close to 10 bucks.

Maybe I'm biased since the food and the people that work there are from my country but they are very nice and friendly.

There is a seating area but most of the customers usually pickup. Don't eat in if you are not comfortable with troves of people coming in and out.

I consider this one of the best Dominican eateries in the Bronx, every time I get food anywhere else 9/10 times I am disappointed.

It's a little good but that's how you know the food bust.“

“Great food the juice bar good“

“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.“

“Me and my bestfriend had a great time at Karribean Krave last Saturday ! Lay was the bartender and she took such great care of us and she makes a mean Long Island ! The music was popping and they had happy hour going until 8pm which is great for a Saturday ! Looking forward to coming back !“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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….?????????????“

“I tried the red velvet waffles and chicken wings at Kori Eats and I was honestly blown away. The waffles were soft with a hint of sweetness and the chicken wings were crispy and seasoned just right. Highly recommend if you want something different and delicious!“

“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!??“

“Food was amazing and rum punch was the best I ever had and staff was kind and professional. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give them a 10 the bartender/waitress Samara is the best!!!!“

“AMAZING EATS, GREAT & FRIENDLY SERVICE, AND NICE SIZE PORTIONS!“
