Jamaican Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“Delicious food, thoughtful and responsive service, live music for Mother’s Day, a completely fun experience! 😊“

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

“I absolutely LOVE the food. I got a plate with oxtails, rice & peas, plantains and he makes sure your plate is full. Everything tasted like it was seasoned perfectly, the gravy was surprisingly light and delicious. I’m 1000% going back.
I sincerely doubt the bad reviews are from him, the plates aren’t even the same. I met his Mom too and she was really sweet! Made the experience even better ?

FYI: I took the picture below after a couple bites“

“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….“

“I always buy at this restaurant, but today was special. The curry chicken back was finger licking good. The chicken soup was also good. I wish you guys were closer to me at 241st. I highly recommend you guys. Keep up the good work and blessings always.“

“Great experience I’m so happy I stopped by. I loved how nicely I was treated, she was super genuine, gave me such great care. If you haven’t stopped by please do great atmosphere, great energy also the food is made well everything is fresh it’s a must try ! ?“

“I recently visited Country Kitchen, and it was just okay. The food was decent, but nothing really stood out as amazing. The service was fine, but the overall experience didn’t leave a strong impression. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for something casual, but I think there are other spots in the area that offer a bit more in terms of flavor and atmosphere.“

“My son Found this spot while we were hungry for some Dumplings ; Awesome!! They are great!! So we went again to thr restaurant , ordered Curry goat and more dumplings!! Wonderful!! Well worth the walk !! Will be back for more!!! Bless up!!????????????????“

“I was in the area. I googled this place and I wanted to give it a try. I was very impressed with the rice and peas and shrimp which had some heat to it. Not overbearing and very enjoyable mixing it with the rice. The lady who served me was very nice and I appreciated my meal I will comeback again.“

“I Ordered the Large Oxtails and J*** BBQ Chicken . Both dishes were good and definitely worth the detour we took to get there. Oxails wasn't tough, it was almostmeltingin my mouth. The server was very nice and was ok with answering my questions. So service 5, taste food 5 but the decor of the store is definitely a 2. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong. it's a good store and I would definitely eat here a million more times.“

“Talk about the best Jamaica restaurant in the Northeast Bronx. Whatever is on the menu, it’s finger licking. Good customer service . Fast service , you will be in and out .. They give you a lot of oxtail gravy lol . The steam fish , fry chicken and oxtail is a must when you go there .“

“First time . Got the jerk Rasta pasta and lawd the wait almost killed me but the FOOD was worth it?? can’t wait to go back and get more stuff off there menu a TRUE Caribbean truck BY FAR the best soul food I’ve had in the Bronx YET . DEFINITELY recommend ????“

“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!“

“The food is so good at this spot. I purchased a large oxtail lo mien, sweet chilli salmon and 3 natural juices (sour sop, ginger beer and sorrel). There price very affordable for what I received. I drove all the way from PA and I will definitely come back.“

“Vegetarian options: You can order a few solely vegetarian dishes but perhaps if you request a specific dish - it will be added permanently to the menu

Parking: You will have time to pick up your order provided you are not parked during street sweeping periods“

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

“Delicious TENDER oxtails.“

“They don’t sell anything that I haven’t enjoyed , from a variety of soups , a full meal , small bites (fried whitening, festival, fried dumplings, porridge, etc ) I love ❤️ franks soup bowl“

“There are many foods options to choose from, such as authentic Jamaican curry goat, tripe with beans and fried chicken are my faves - good portions with great taste. I swear someone's grandmother is in the kitchen putting in that work. I recommend this establishment and have gone back way over several times!!!“

“When I say these folks are genuinely kind-hearted, I mean it—it's a rare find to encounter a Caribbean restaurant where the staff radiates happiness instead of serving up an attitude. The prices here are quite reasonable, making it easy on the wallet. The portions are generous and satisfying, truly making every bite worthwhile. Everything is freshly prepared right before your eyes; I visited late at night and was pleasantly surprised to see the food still bursting with flavor and freshness. I wholeheartedly recommend this charming little shop; it's an intimate space that feels welcoming. All you have to do is stop by and experience it for yourself—trust me, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“Ordered fried chicken and beef soup, they didn't have the soup and I really appreciate the effort that was put into not just calling to update me but the extra step that Sherene took to call Uber Eats so I could be refunded. As always the food was delicious and very well packaged.“

“I’ve worked near, passed by, and wanted to try the food here for years. It was also rumored that a former coworker was part owner of this restaurant/bar. I finally got a chance to stop by today and experience Jamaican food at its best. I ordered a pound of jerk chicken and a large curry chicken dinner to take home to the family. It took 90 minutes to get home and warm up the dinner and we were not disappointed. Authentic and flavorful is all I have to say. The staff was friendly and I hope they remember to tell Mike I said hello.“

“Imma Get Straight To It Lol
THAT MEDIUM WAS A LG 😂😂 GREAT PORTIONS FOR A MED. I LOVE THE VEG FROM ANY PLACE AND THEY PUT ALOOOOT
MAC N CHEESE WAS GOOD BUT NOT BETTER THAN MINE BUT IT WAS DEFF SOLID AND NOT LOOSE
DUMPLING WAS DRY AS HELL MOST LIKELY WONT EAT IT
I ORDERED A BEEF PATTY BUT THEY WERE OUT THEY DIDNT NOTIFY ME BUT I GET MY REFUND SO NO BIG THING. This Was purchased off grubhub I usually get deals and stuff on my app because of prime etc but this came up to 17 and change including the patty (but later got a refund)“

“I can't get enough of the Brown Stew Chicken. The Rice and Peas with the gravy is always fresh and flavourful. Yummy patties are a must try. Great prices and knowledgeable staff. No long waiting on lines and large portions. I'll be back for more soon.“

“This is the ONLY Jamaican restaurant I purchase food from in the Bronx for the past 7.5 years. I am their number one fan for curried cowfoot! And Annie knows this (lol) as I used to travel from CT just to purchase it on Wednesdays; but now they do it for 3 days per week. The quality and taste of the food has been consistent all these years as well. Keep it up FrontPage!“

“amazing food literally just had some oxtail with rice and peas...omg and the truck is so clean it's not run down like some other food trucks I've seen again great food keep it up!!!!“

“Gentleman attire counter was very polite and helpful. Had white rice with chicken curry and fried chicken. The fried chicken was very tasty. Went back tonight after work had rice and peas with curry goat gravy and fried chicken. I can easily say one of the best Jamaican spot I have tried over the year.“

“Tried the food via Ubereats. It was pretty good but the j*** was a little too spicy however, the rice and peas was amazing. I ordered a medium J*** lunch and they put 2 extra beef patties and johnny cake in my bag. That was a nice courtesy. Not sure if that happened because I ordered close to closing time but I appreciate the gesture. I’ll probably order again to try the oxtail“

“jerk chicken is well done and priced reasonably.“

“eat at the restaurant, whenever I'm in town“

“I ordered ackee and salt fish with provisions (steam bananas and yams). It was everything I anticipated (savory, nutritional and filling) as I sat there and enjoyed my meal for breakfast just before riding the subway. They have other delicious items on the menu.“

“Outstanding Service for our Family's Repast. After dealing with the loss of our uncle and encountering challenges with finding suitable venues to have our repast. We were referred to the Dumpling Cove by Patrick Maitland of Street Hype Newspaper. We are so grateful he did! The staff at Dumpling Cove did an amazing job in assuring that the repast happened without a hitch. From the owner to the head chef to the coordinator, bartender and set up crew we were given top priority. It also worked out perfectly because we had an estimated amount of attendees because of course, no one rsvp’s for this type of event – I can’t tell you how assuring it was to know that if we ran out of any particular thing we could order more. Not to mention, it’s conveniently located right off the I95, which was great for family members from other boroughs. I can’t speak highly enough about our experience and I recommend anyone that’s considering a location for their repast or any family gathering to choose Dumpling Cove as their venue of choice. You will not be disappointed!“

“The food was delicious. I used to go all the time (2021) and get fried chicken, but they didn't have it. So I got curry chicken and... IT TASTED LIKE CRACK (super delicious). There was only 1 worker and she was nice (my dad knows people there) and it's was kinda dark but the atmosphere was okay overall.“

“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!??“
