Jamaican Restaurants in Bronx, NY

“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.“

“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….“

“They are great at Big Daddies! I requested my favorite dish from there that appears as a special from time to time and they made an order for me, the music from the band was good, and they have the best gumbo I've ever had! I go here a lot and it's bc the food, atmosphere and service can't be beat!“

“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 .“

“Finally found my way to Juici Patties at the Bronx Terminal Boogue Down Food Hall tucked away in the back on the left hand side.
After from a friend picked up some at the zjuici Pattie Brooklyn location and show me some pictures and raved about them I had to get my hand on my own.
Let me tell you I was so happy that I did!

I ordered two chicken patties.
They were perfectly cooked with nice mini bits of chicken throughout and weren't soupy throughout like other patties are when you bite into them.
The patti was layers of super flaky crust and seasoned perfectly. Each bite melted in your mouth.
I will definitely be returning!!“

“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!!“

“the food is always great, never disappointed.“

“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!“

“Hands down, the best Jamaican food in the 5 boroughs!

As a Jamaican and someone whose mother-in-law owned two restaurants, I don’t say this lightly — I’ve been searching for over 2 years for authentic, quality Jamaican food that hits all the right notes. Caribbean Sunshine Restaurant does just that!

The flavor, the care, the consistency — it reminded me of home. Real home. Not watered down, not overhyped — just honest, flavorful, soul-satisfying Jamaican cuisine done right.

I work in Manhattan, and it takes me about 40 minutes to get here. That should tell you everything — because it’s worth every single minute.

My only complaint is sometimes the music is too loud or the oxtail run out too fast,Lol, besides, I think I was maybe disappointed in the food once, just once, in 2 years.
Every other time has been 5 star!

I’m not easy to please, but I always leave full, smiling, and planning my next visit.

Thank You Rihanna and the rest of the staff!“

“Delicious TENDER oxtails.“

“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!“

“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 .“

“I needed something different, and this definitely filled my need. The oxtail lo mein was beyond amazing. The taste was exactly what I was looking for. I 100% recommend this place. Tee was amazing from the moment we walked in with her friendly demeanor and upbeat personality. I ordered the large oxtail lo mein and the size is great! I had lunch for the day after. I will definitely go back.“

“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 ????“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Ate years ago kame bak to my they were still theee. Said stop by see what’s up. Stopped in same workers great service food was amazing. If you guys have not ate here yet your crazy. I’m a see if they let me steal a few recipes for my infused meal business!“

“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)“

“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 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!“

“jerk chicken is well done and priced reasonably.“

“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!!!!“

“The taste of the breakfast: porridge, ackee n saltfish is superb: 5 stars. The portions are amazing. The service is okay, but they run out of breakfast quickly. The atmosphere doesn't look very inviting. It says: come in, get your food and get out. The place is dim and could use a face lift. I notice a lot of caribbean restaurants around here are kinda dim.Recommend visiting on the early side if you want don't want to leave empty handed.“

“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.“
