“I came here twice and I must say that the curry goat and fried chicken is the best. I order a medium curry goat with white rice and a side of fried chicken. 10/10. But for $26?! The issue is that you can’t really get what you want. Hear me out for example… you can’t get a small order of oxtail….like?! You can only get a medium size with a side. It’s overpriced. Just by looking at it I can tell it’s not even worth the price. Also if you get like a medium size meal with any meat and rice you can’t get it with plantain. It’s extra charge. BUT I WILL SAY THAT THE PORTION IS WORTH IT. THEY GIVE MORE. I’ve tried the Mac and cheese and it was baaaadd. Just cheese and unseasoned roux. That’s if they use roux. It’s oily and you can’t even see or smell a spec of seasoning. Taste like a sweet treat no shade. The fried chicken though I give that 15/10. Tastes better than Kennedys. The goat meat falls off the bonnnneeee. The rice is perfect; not too mushy and not too rough. I’m on my way there right now😂😂. Is it worth trying? Hell yeah. The Mac and cheese though.. that’s to your advantage.“

“This place is such an amazing hole in the wall - we stopped in because I was craving some West Indian food and Robert was so kind and helpful and funny! We loved our food, I recommend the curry goat or curry shrimp roti, the shark, the fritters, pholourie… it was all so good!“

“I highly recommend Vibes Kitchen on East Gun Hill Road in the Bronx! A special shout-out to Chef Andre for catering my sister’s Home Going service repast. During such a difficult time, he provided exceptional delicious food and service that brought comfort to our family and guests.

The food was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned, the curry goat was tender and flavorful, the fried chicken was crispy, juicy, and delicious, and the ackee and saltfish was authentic and well prepared. The Escovitch fish was outstanding, the rice and beans and spinach rice were cooked to perfection, the fried plantains were sweet and delicious, and the freshly steamed vegetables were the perfect complement to the meal.

Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how wonderful everything tasted. Thank you, Chef Andre and the entire Vibes Kitchen team, for your professionalism, kindness, and for helping make my sister’s celebration of life so memorable. Your outstanding food and exceptional service were truly appreciated, and our family is forever grateful.“

“We recently celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 at Caribbean Vybz Ranch, and it was truly an amazing experience from beginning to end.
Every time I visited, the staff gave me their undivided attention and went above and beyond to bring my vision to life. Their dedication, patience, and professionalism made the entire planning process stress-free and enjoyable.

The owner is absolutely amazing! From the very beginning, she was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely invested in making sure my daughter’s special day was everything we envisioned and more. Their warmth and dedication made us feel like family.

The food was absolutely exquisite! My personal favorite was the oxtail, but honestly, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. Every dish was flavorful and prepared with care.

The atmosphere feels like home warm, welcoming, and filled with genuine Caribbean hospitality. If you’re looking for authentic Caribbean cuisine and a venue that treats you like family, I highly recommend Caribbean Vybz Ranch for both dining and special events. Thank you for helping make my daughter’s Sweet 16 such a memorable and beautiful celebration!“

“Greek restaurant. Been there a bunch. Always a great experience. Food is awesome as usual. Service is excellent as usual. Highly recommend. Pasta jambalaya, Billy Carter's crawfish. And don't leave without trying the peanut butter jelly pie for dessert. And this is coming from someone who never orders dessert. Lol.“

“Went and met the owner and her husband beautiful people. You can literally smell the goodness of the food and the love of the people which is a beautiful thing and you don’t get often and I finally had curry goat, and it was amazing. I even bought a whole dinner meal once I tried one piece of it beautiful beautiful cooking you must try it.“

“Great little local spot I found on my FB timeline feed and decided to go myself for the Wednesday happy hour. I got the calamari spicy wings and coconut margarita. The wings were a little tough but very spicy the ranch dressing is definitely needed. The calamari was delicious fried to perfection with good sauce on the side, just wish they added lemon wedge. The coconut margarita was tasty with a nice buzz.“

“Food is absolutely delicious!!! Need catering? Inquire about special entrees. Food never disappoints. The best Guyanese restaurant food I've had. They also have fresh tennis rolls, pine tarts, solara & cheese rolls. Jerk chicken empanadas are amazing!!! Order ahead cuz they do get busy! Take out only. They do have a sitting area if you want to sit and eat, but not an early in restaurant.“

“good music 🎶 excellent crowd on point“

“On time delivery and great tasting satisfying food.“

“Despite its compact size, the establishment exudes a sense of cleanliness and coziness. The service was impeccable, with the server demonstrating exceptional attentiveness. The culinary offerings were exceptional, characterized by their exceptional taste and quality. The flavors were reminiscent of homemade cuisine, which left a lasting impression. I highly recommend this establishment and intend to return for future visits.“

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

“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.“

“Entered, menu was very visible, the guy in the front was extremely respectful and straight forward, the place was room temp and pretty comfy, the rice was rlly good, the mac & cheese was incredible. The only thing was the oxtail lacked some flavor but still tender and enjoyable.“

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

“Xavier went above and beyond to help me because I am vegan! Im so grateful because I was alittle worried if it would be easy to order here. Thanks Xavier for making my life easier as soon as I stepped in the door!!! I will definitely recommend others!“

“I love this place I took the plane all the way from Florida to come and get my meals at this golden krust. The customer service is top tier the food is great. I give the them 20/10. I couldn't wait to get off the plane. I was on the plane dreaming about the oxtails the sweet potato pudding not to mention the curry goat“

“Went here because a restaurant we usually visit was closed 40 minutes before it’s closing time. Never been here and didn’t hear from anyone, just saw the reviews, I was close by and so what the hec, I decided to give it a try. Wow! Did not disappoint!! Ordered a large oxtails with rice & peas, unfortunately they were out of sweet plantains but the food was Deeeelicious! Yum, The rest of the food on dispuslso looked good. Yum! Great spot and service was superb. If you’re in the area or just want some slamming Jamaican food, stop at Flamez and enjoy! You’re welcome lol
I was so hungry forgot to snap a pic“

“The service is great pleasant people food good n service nice n hot Thanks“

“Nice spot good food good music great people a place to unwind“

“I absolutely love this spot! Any time I am in the Bronx I have to stop in and get my favorite curry chicken with rice(lathered in that curry gravy) and peas and cabbage😋…. My wife’s favorite dish is the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage of course. Their fried chicken goes well with brown stew chicken gravy. I’ve had their jerk chicken, curry goat, brown stewed chicken, Mac and cheese is also really good. I have been meaning to try the salmon and their shrimp, I think that will be next. I will say aside from that, you can expect friendly service. Atmosphere is calming 🤗 did I say I love this place? 😬“

“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“

“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.“

“I had no problems here. Prices were excellent for the two meals and the portions I received were more than enough. Location is perfect since it's right near the train station. So if you're in a rush, they'll definitely take care of you. Coming here again for sure.“

“The food is absolutely delicious and good prices“

“Staff are usually friendly and helpful. Restaurant is very clean.This Golden Krust is still by far my spot. Food is always tasty and on point. Have a golden day is my new slogan, big up to the morning crew especially the manager lady thanks again.“

“I stopped by Tasty Caribbean Plus Buffet back in April last year, so I don’t remember every detail, but I do remember the plate being very filling. I loaded up on a mix of mac and cheese, fried chicken, stewed meat, shrimp, and vegetables. The mac and cheese was creamy, the chicken had a nice crispy bite, and the stewed meat was tender with good flavor.

Overall it was a solid, hearty meal, but it didn’t quite hit my soul the way some Caribbean spots do. One thing to keep in mind is that you pay by weight, so your plate can add up quickly if you’re not careful. Still a decent spot if you’re looking for a filling plate with a lot of options. 🍽️“

“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“

“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.“

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

“**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!“

“By far one of THE best roti spots in NYC yes I tired the others and can’t compete with the warm smiles and services at this place but a even warmer doubles dough and perfect combination of tang and spice if you choose to add the sauces / after that the rest is history the beef / succulent savory huge chucks the chicken the same way. I broke my fast to eat those meats to give yall this review 😂 so I’m telling you this place makes sure to always take the extra step to serve superior Quality service .“

“I always come here and bring everybody that I can. The oxtail, curry chicken, curry goat and the cabbage are my favorites. The service is immaculate, they run to help me with whatever I need. Chef Oliver was super helpful today and he is like my grandson. I feel like a family here. Dejane, Hilda, Peta-Gay and Anna-Kay are exceptional. Thanks for all you do and I will be coming back very soon!“
