50 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Brooklyn

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

“I've probably eaten at Sally's over 50 times at this point, it really is that good and consistent. The jerk bbq sauce is so good, they could put it on a shoe and I'd eat the shoe. Their chicken sandwich, cheeseburger, crab rangoon, french fries (with the scotch bonnet mayo!) and anything with the jerk bbq sauce on it are my favorites. If the chef is reading this, please bring back the fried chicken fried rice bowl and the dark braised beef noodles, I see them in my dreams :')“

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

“The food is always good. There was so many workers, ( someone opening the door/security, and then there was a worker on the main floor restocking/replenishing).. so many people, I guess everything was moving smooth. But to me, It was just feel a little chaotic, as to where to stand to wait for your order. There was deliveries, people using the kiosk, people in the shop ordering bake and shark having to pay for it first and then going and waiting for it. FOOD WAS GREAT!“

“Very cool, chill vibes. Mickey and Julianna took care of us with great service. I ended up chatting with someone at the bar until closing, just because the vibes were so good. Jerk pork was on point and the drinks (excellent sorrel) were fire.“

“TriniJam BK was recommended by my sister, and we are so glad we went! Our first visit certainly won’t be our last. The food was beautifully presented, bursting with flavour, and took me straight back to the tropics! ☀
We started with ackee and saltfish rolls and firecracker shrimp, followed by the complimentary mango chow and BBQ wings, which absolutely blew our minds!
For mains, hubby had the oxtail with bus-up-shut roti, while I enjoyed the curry goat with dhal roti, sweet potato and channa. Everything was delicious! We washed it all down with Bob Marley cocktails and rum punch.
Calvin and Latoyah the owners, really looked after us, and the service was seamless, warm and friendly. The restaurant is vibrant, spotlessly clean, reasonably priced, and has a fantastic ambience, disability access and spacious toilets.
Amazing food, beautiful presentation and genuine Caribbean hospitality! Thank you! If you’re in Flatlands, Brooklyn, and fancy a taste of the tropics, TriniJam BK is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back! Highly recommended!“

“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 enjoyed the hospitality and overall experience at Lavender Room Brooklyn. The food wasn’t bad but it definitely could use some retweaking. Taylor was my favorite part about my experience at this establishment. It felt good to support a black owned restaurant and have a great time in the meantime.“

“This place is a hidden diamond in the ruff. Everything was fantastic almost thought I was in Meat Packing District. Manhattan. Food was so good, presentation immaculate. Drinks 🔥🔥🔥. My waiter was so kind and attentive, I tipped him extra (tip was included in the bill). Ambiance a 10 red and white cant go wrong. Bathroom was boring lol, All that beautiful red should have been included in the bathroom decor. I was ready to o.d with pics in there and not. I highly recommend this spot and look forward to a continued relationship with this establishment. Yall better run and go there you wont be disappointed.“

“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!“

“I loveee the food here. Very cozy atmosphere with great music--lovely date night vibes with the dim lighting but still illuminated enough to see/take pictures. I've tried the salmon escovitch as well as the oxtails and they were both phenomenal. They make great drinks as well, can't wait to go 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 😋😋“

“Yummy eats! Plantain sandwiches are bomb!“

“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 .“

“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!!!“

“Came for brunch the morning after Halloween around 2pm and did the bottomless - perfect choice. The spot is nice and intimate but still has that bustling brunch energy. Drinks were great, mac and cheese was creamy and perfect, and those smash burger sauces were amazing. Our waitress was an absolute delight, brunch music selection was solid, and service was quick. Would highly recommend!“

“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.“

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

“Pablo Santo just catered our daughter's wedding. This food is THE BEST, Most flavorful and perfectly prepared food! The ceviche was tasty without being too tart. The Wild Boar was tender, with a perfectly balanced gravy. All raged over the plantain stew! Personally the rabbit mole was to die for! Perfectly prepared meals, with quick attentive service! Most HIGHLY recommend! Thanks Chef and staff!! You were all superb!“

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

“First time trying Trinidadian food, and I was a bit lost on what to order. We ended up getting the goat roti and fish doubles. The portions were huge, and I loved the flavours. I’d never had anything like the fish doubles before, and it turned out to be my favourite. I’ll definitely be back to try the bake and saltfish, along with some of their other dishes.“

“Absolutely delicious and reasonably priced! Cash only though 🤔“

“Booked it for a quick date night before heading on to a gig and the place absolutely came through. Food was great, staff paced everything perfectly, atmosphere was lovely. We made the gig in plenty of time. Bill was very fair too. Earned myself proper points. New default for pre-gig dinners, easily. Brilliant little spot.“

“best fish and grits in brooklyn“

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

“Ordered the Shrimp Mandu and Spiced Lamb Chops to start, then split the Oxtail Lo Mein with my girlfriend. Every dish brought something different to the table. The lamb chops were perfectly crisp and juicy, the mandu was a clever marriage of Jamaican and Korean flavors, and the lo mein was rich, silky and loaded with tender oxtail.

Cheesecake for dessert was the perfect finish.

Great atmosphere, a nostalgic playlist full of R&B and early 2000s gems, and attentive staff who really know the menu.

An easy recommendation. I’ll be back.“

“Absolutely fantastic experience at BunNan in New York! We visited during happy hour and ordered the Plantain Jerk, the Snapper Sliders and a lemonade. Everything was absolutely delicious, full of flavour, beautifully prepared and excellent value.

A special mention to our server, Gabby, who was brilliant. She was friendly, attentive and made us feel so welcome from start to finish. Her service really made the experience even better.

If you're looking for authentic Haitian food in New York, I'd highly recommend BunNan. I'll definitely be returning!“

“Food was okay. Brunch only had 2 items that were somewhat breakfast. Chicken and waffles and salfiah & bake. Everything else on the menu was lunch / dinner based.

Drinks were good depending on who made it. 2 friends ordered the same drink. One was presentable with a pineapple, mint, and an umbrella. The other just got the beverage, no razzle dazzle. Tasted the same, but presentation matters.“

“Food is good, sometimes the servers get beside themselves,,disrespectful and rude.They tend to forget you only as good as your customer base.No customers no sales, a trickle of customers, less money.They still deserve four stars for quality of food.You're not doing anyone a favor.You fold we'll find another.They need to do better with their watered down Mauby for the cost.Their customer service has improved much.“

“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!! 🤌🏾“

“Just an Asian guy commenting. Been to Austin, Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, Atalanta, and this place is up there in terms of flavor and texture. Wings are amazing. So surprised of wings, hit the spot. Mac and collard greens will satisfy as well. But wings are 🫰🏼🫰🏼“

“Stopped by The Gentleman’s Kitchen (formerly Caribbean Social) for happy hour with a friend. The salmon and ribs were great, and the sweet Plush drink was so good we ordered seconds. Only downside: it was pretty hot inside, even with fans running. Once the AC is fixed, I’d happily give it five stars.“

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

“Great food great family atmosphere Guyanese dishes great tasting food 💕😍“

“Awesome experience and the food was great“

“Great staff and even better food 💜“

“The person serving food was very helpful and providing information about the various products and patties, all homemade. I bought the lunch special for someone else which was a bargain at less than $6, after tax. The salmon and callaloo patties were hearty and tasted great but the dough was tough. this was only 2 PM iso it should not have been this hard to bite into.“

“Had such a fun time at C List Bar! I went for karaoke with my mom on a Saturday and we had an absolute blast. The drinks were great, the atmosphere was fun, and the location is super convenient. It was the perfect spot for a fun night out, especially if you’re looking for good vibes, karaoke, and a place where you can just let loose and have a good time. Definitely would come back! 🍹🎤✨“

“Food was DELICIOUS!!! Home cooked. Fresh ingredients. Generous portions. Curried seafood!! The fried banga!!! Fried snapper!!! Fish cake. Ohhh... and the callaloo cook-up with nuff obstacles... salt beef, chicken and tripe!!! Definitely worth your money and time. The service was great. Very friendly staff. Will definitely frequent the establishment. Can't wait to try different selections.“

“I ordered the curry chicken and white rice for my son and ordered cow foot soup for myself. The curry chicken was seasoned well and tasted delicious. The cow foot soup was ok, I’ve had better but it was still decent. Not sure if I would order it again. They also have great lunch special options to choose from that also includes a drink. You’ll definitely get good value for your money when you order here.“

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

“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 chef deserves a medal for grinding and cooking in this heat wave in such small quarters. The heat didn't affect his attitude at all though! He was so pleasant. I ordered the small ox tail plate that came with rice and beans and 2 big pieces of sweet plantain. I requested the Jamaican slaw which was a mixture of macaroni and cabbage and seasoning that I loved. The mac n cheese was exactly what a mac n cheese should be. Dense and delicious! The neighborhood really benefits from people like this sharing their culture and flavor so thank you!“

“Whenever I visit this establishment. I am treated very professionally by everyone. What I do like about this business I can call on the phone, place my order and pick up.
What stood out for me. I didn’t have enough cash on me, it’s a cash only business. The lady told me you can always bring back the money. There she had a customer for LIFE. Thank you for always taking great care of me.“

“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.“

“Excelente lugar para compartir en familia , rica comida“
