50 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Brooklyn

“Celebrated my birthday here best experience ever hospitality was amazing“

“Came there on my lunch break I wanted to stay but I couldn’t. But when I say the food was good. I didn’t have chow mein taste so good in a long time. The curry goat was flavorful tender with the right spice. Roti freshly hot and buttery. My drink I can order three more . I’m trying to come back over the weekend lol“

“The food was great I went during food week. I had the salmon with garlic mash and broccoli. The meal also came with dessert and an appetizer. You can add a glass of wine for 5 dollars. For the appetizer I had the birria empanada my cousin had the island shrimp I believed it was called. The shrimp👍🏾👍, I wasn't crazy about the empanada. I would definitely revisit this place. Also the run punch definitely punches. Try it out.“

“Had an amazing experience! They are so accommodating and friendly! I can’t wait to go back ! Demmoy was amazing and so welcoming! One of the best experiences Iv had!“

“I had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. My waitress name was Toya, she was committed to great service and was very friendly. The atmosphere was awesome and I definitely liked that you have a very modern style. Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great!“

“The moment you entered the staff very polite, music was definitely on point for the occasion and now the food which was delicious I had the pasta with the addition of oxtails and let me tell you never had it so tender and flavorful I mean it was slapping like the kids would say lol“

“Lavender Room has become a weekly spot for my friends and I after work — the perfect place to grab drinks, chill, and unwind from a long week. The staff, the music, and the food are all incredible. It stands out from other bars with its classy atmosphere and the ability to have a private, one-on-one moment with your date. It’s truly unmatched.“

“My cousin and I loved our experience, as this was our first time trying the food here. I'm not a take pictures of the food person, but the sweet plantain gnocchi and braised oxtails were amazing. I enjoyed the suya rib eye and espresso martini as well.

The vibe of the restaurant is super chill, we sat upstairs and the energy was great for a Friday night in Brooklyn.

Danielle and Jelani made our evening amazing with their service and we will definitely be back!“

“Godbless Yaya the owner she is very joyful and very compassionate about her customers and neighborhood,I seen this first hand,May she continue to flourish in God's name and continue to break barriers thru God anything is possible yaya..thank you soo much💯💯💯💯💯🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Nice Place Food was fantastic. Oxtail delicious. Highly recommend. Bar Cocktail's are a disappointment. After sending the first Drink back the 2nd wasn't much better. Waitress explained they are prefixed. Please invest in a good Bartender who can make fresh Drinks. Thank you. Would love to come back .“

“Best roti I have ever had. This was one of my favorite food spots when I lived in flatbush. I always got the same thing. I am so sad that I moved two states away. Whenever I go back to Brooklyn I always stop by de hot pot and get some stock for my freezer 😋😋“

“It can get really packed with long lines but they will service you with respect and you can always have a conversation on the line while you wait. Don’t come with an attitude and expect to rush in and out. Only thing is they do not take credit card / debit card as a payment only cash but that’s minor.“

“Great food! Big portions, finger-lickin good“

“I came across this place as I was walking up 9th Street soon as I walked in the music was great very inviting drinks very generous!!! I will definitely be having either brunch lunch or dinner here!!!“

“I walked in on a Saturday around 12pmto get oxtail and their customer service was amazing. I got oxtail, rice &peas with oxtail patty. They were both really good, the patty was very flaky and sweet. I sat to eat and the oxtail was really good , they used a balsamic rice and I loved every bite.

I’m really tempted to go again and I love in New Jersey“

“This spot has won me over completely. Staff members performed with the excellence this place is known for. Despite beautiful plating, the food was overly salted. The menu covers various food categories. This place has earned our commitment.“

“The food was good, but they really need to do better about customer service. We had a party of Nine that wanted to dine-in. We were given no help only told us to put the table back after we moved them together ourselves to seat us. Luckily we dine in because we was missing a full order of Rasta pasta. My mom order okra and fish. We were missing the okra so they refunded me a dollar. As we were leaving the young lady approached me saying they gave her pumpkin that she didn’t order or want and asked for the dollar back. I was very surprised about that. As I said customer service was not up to standard.“

“I looove sally's. They truly never miss. The jerk veggie dumplings, amazing. The tostones, huge and crispy. That dressing the greens are tossed in? I'd eat straight greens everyday with whatever that is. Random, but I love their crushed ice. The curried chicken is my favorite but everything is honestly so good. Staff is always super cool and friendly and the music is amazing.

When friends visit from out of town our go to place is always Sally's - whether it's for dinks or a good meal, the quality and consistency is there and it's a neighborhood favorite for me.“

“The food was great at BunNan and the service was amazing with Race and Jimmy, they were so accommodating and brought out a candle and a great desert that was bread pudding with cremas drizzled over it!!!!! The food was so good, the plantain sliders, the Tassot rice bowl, the meat was moist, not dry and it was tender. Their secret sauce is definitely a hit and the carmelized onions were amazing. The food was really good and fulling. Thank you for the birthday love ❤️ Love Cindy“

“I love going there i always get nice stuff and yes it's a 5“

“Everything so delicious, so tasty, fantastic catering for family funeral event, everything well packaged and delivered properly, my guest had very happy bellies.“

“Pleasant experience and beautiful place, nice drinks! Give it a try! Music, too! 🥂“

“Awesome experience and the food was great“

“Great staff and even better food 💜“

“Today I had aloo pie with beef, so good. Well worth the time, money and trip. Double so soft, sweet and nice. Im was happy as I don’t spend money on outside food often. Ladies were attentive & polite. Definitely would go back for that again. Spent 11.50 for one plain double and beef aloo pie. Within a budget, thanks for lunch“

“This is THE spot. Jerk chicken is some of the best I've ever had. There's a good char that's smokey and flavorful without any bitterness. The spice is a warm heat with the right amount of sweet. Rice and peas cooked incredibly well, not dry at all. And the cabbage is perfectly tender not mushy. There patties are low-key solid. Curry Chicken is a bit better than the beef in my opinion opinion. But the crust on all is flakey and the filling is flavorful with good spice.

I've tried the fried chicken and macaroni both good but not worth getting. I just got for the jerk chicken platter and patties“

“Had a fabulous experience with server Gina very attentive and accommodating. Jamar was customer courteous and was fantastic. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾“

“I found this restaurant on Tik Tok and I’m sooo glad I did! I had the best oxtail I’ve probably ever had!!! Thoroughly satisfied with my experience and will be sure to go again whenever I’m in the area!! 🤌🏾“

“Had the Turkey wings with rice & peas,steam veg & plantains.it was amazing..bess food.food lick“

“The food was exceptional. However, a lot of the items on the menu was not available. I understand it was probably due to the snowstorm we recently experienced causing delays with deliveries, so I didn't allow that to impact my rating. What was on the menu was delicious, I will be back!“

“I’ve been coming to MangoSeed for years (that should tell you something in itself). I love it here. The food, the staff, the vibe, especially the music. It’s such a cozy, and welcoming environment. My go-to’s are the fish tacos, the plantain, and jerk wings. You can’t go wrong visiting MangoSeed. You’ll be just as hooked as I am.“

“Лучшее место в Москве чтобы томно провести вечер.“

“I grew up eating Jamaican food and this is hands down the best Jamaican restaurant that I’ve been to in Brooklyn! The food is consistently delicious and made to order — no food sitting out on a heater waiting for someone to order. I’ve had the jerk shrimp, curry shrimp roti, jerk salmon, and other items and the food is always fresh, tasty, and plentiful. They sell juices and cake which are also amazing. I’ve been going here once a week since the pandemic started and I’m always so excited to get my food. The owner is amazing and is dedicated to always providing five star service and food.“

“I have been buying from Suzys since they opened and they have NEVER disappointed me. The food is top notch and the service is an example to all Caribbean restaurants. I love this place. I buy a tray of goat for my Thanksgiving meal EVERY YEAR and it's always on point. I hope this place stays open as long as I live. I literally recomment everything on the menu. Thank you Suzys!!!“

“The food was exceptional and scenery was great. We had a party of 14 and everything went smoothly.“

“My home away from home. My go to place for back home meals. I am here right now Real Tim talk going in.“

“Me and my large family had dinner at this restaurant to honor my fathers heavenly birthday. It was truly the best experience I've had at a restaurant in a very very long time and it was thanks to our waiter Jesus. He was very attentive and helpful. He saw that we had small children and helped us with their order first and then proceeded to take the rest of our orders. He really loved his job and was very warm and kind. The establishment as a whole is very nice and classy. Very grown and sexy. The music is perfect and the food was very good! The oxtail Lo Mein was so good. Its located inside Hotel Indigo, to the right after entering. I really really loved this experience. Thank you so much. I'll be back with my girlfriends or on a date❤️🙏🏽 A new staple spot for me.“

“10/10! Super friendly staff and everything was delicious. I went in anticipating oxtails but they were out, so I opted for jerk chicken, Mac and cheese and rice and peas. Literally the most flavorful rice and peas I’ve ever had! Mac was tasty and well seasoned and the jerk chicken was the perfect blend of tang and spice. I looked forward to having leftovers but ate the entire plate in one sitting. Will definitely be back :))“

“good food the most amazing jerk chicken and the best drinks“

“This restaurant adds character to our local landscape. The food is expertly prepared and the staff consistently delivers. No delay in seating and service team acts quickly! They cook adequately but design spaces beautifully. Hope you find value here.“

“This is a cool spot. Simple but delicious food. Really enjoyed our experience!“

“Sugardbk is such a gem in Flatbush. The vibe was perfect great music, nice atmosphere, and definitely a good spot for date night or even private events. We started with the sweet chili shrimp, wings, and crab cake and everything was flavorful and fresh. For the main dishes, the snapper with shrimp, rice and peas was cooked perfectly, and the oxtails were tender and seasoned so well. The drinks are strong, and the sorrel cake was a perfect dessert to end the night. Amazing Caribbean food and service I’ll definitely be back!“

“EXTREMELY Delicious, 2nd ONLY to my Mom's cooking (YES I'm biased 😉)!!!

Rapid service, even though line was @ the door... Busy, even after lunch service, but line moved quickly from order to pick-up.

They've been around a long time, have quite a devoted customer base, QUALITY never compromised over time... CONSISTENTLY EXCELLENT Service & Food, w/ Large portions; yep, U WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED 😋💯“

“The Food Is Great And The Workers Are Polite“

“I love it here !!! Great food, great cocktails, clean, and inviting location both inside and closed in outside dining“

“We hosted an company dinner there. Very low key store frontage. Very chill atmosphere. Backyard area is pretty cool. Curry goat was very good. The wings were a little too salty for my blood pressure. Also they seemed a little dry. We paid for unlimited open bar but they cut us off without any warning. I get that they didn't want a bum rush but a last call or 5 minute heads up should have been announced. That's customary for bars that offer an unlimited drink option.“

“Highly Recommended!! Especially for large parties! Went with a group of 20. We had the back room all to ourselves!! Which included our own bathroom and backyard space! It felt like a private party as we were able to get up and mingle with one another without bothering other diners. The food was excellent and the service was even better !!! Thank you for everything ISHMEL !!!“
