50 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Brooklyn

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

“Food was so delicious, service was good but getting the food was a bit slow. However it was a Friday night so to be expected.

Highly recommend their dumping and jerk fish rice dish 😍

Also they have a DJ on Friday when I went and music and vibe was amazing.“

“Writing this as I initially came in because I wanted something quick and warm for breakfast. I ordered two doubles, one fish and one veggie and I was blown away!

It’s lunchtime and I walked back over to get the same thing again. Wow very delicious“

“It can be chaotic here and I didn't understand the system the first time I came. So, the people against the counter is where you line up. Those against the wall have ordered already and are waiting. Service is sweet, patient and friendly. The "everything" is great! Yes, everything. They have the best bread I've ever had in ten years. I drove 35 mins to get here, then spent another ten looking for a park, found one two blocks away and too close to a hydrant but took the chance.....yes, worth it.“

“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.“

“The food was so gooodddd! That’s it. That’s the whole review.

Seriously, the measure of great Caribbean food is the rice (cook up or rice and peas). If they can nail that, you know they know what they’re doing. Definitely recommend this spot.“

“The spot for Doubles. This is a true classic of this neighborhood, steadfast and strong and tasty … truly legendary spot…. Like Culpeppers, Immaculee, Allan’s, Peppa’s, Scoops, Gabay Market & The African Record Center, De Hot Pot is a cornerstone of Our community and I hope it stays that way for years to come…“

“I Had A Great Time, The Food Was Absolutely Delicious And Great Service. I Recommend Anyone To Come Dine Here It’s A Great Atmosphere And The People Were Very Warm And Welcoming.“

“I had the pleasure of dining at The Continent Brooklyn and it was truly amazing! The restaurant’s atmosphere was warm and inviting, with a vibrant and sophisticated ambiance. My meal, which were the lamb chops were flavorful and tender! Loved this dish! Our server was friendly with great energy!continent Brooklyn is a must-visit for anyone looking to explore a new culinary experience with a vibrant sophisticated Caribbean atmosphere. 10 out of 10! I will be back very soon“

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

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

“Pleasant neighborhood spot where you feel like walking in to your aunt’s house for a meal. This restaurant offers only indoor seating with paid street parking in front and free parking in surrounding area. Upon entering, we were told to seat ourselves. Our waiter is friendly and makes good recommendation. Food came out quickly, tasty, and is great portion. For 3 adults + 1 kid, we ordered 2 entrees and 2 appetizers and it was enough food. The restaurant also offers a variety of Jamaican Soda and we enjoyed the ginger beer! Overall, an authentic meal in a relaxing vibe.“

“phenomenal jerk box (jerk chicken); drinks are good too. Service a little slow, I think because of the bake and shark a member of my party ordered, that my order was held hostage but taste of that jerk chicken was redemption, absolutely superb!!!!“

“The vibes at this place are off the chain! Quite literally being that they sell bikes as well at the front! The booths comfortable! The server amazing! The food I got up out my booth with the chicken and waffles like dead a** tho! lol! Truly amazing experience for me!“

“First time here, it was alright. Doubles is a tad bit sweet for my liking. They need to work on how they package their buss-up, especially when more than 1 is ordered. Bag the skin & the curry aside from each other, not 1 skin ontop of a tray of curry. This just causes spilling. I had spilling everywhere because it was all lopsided. Plus young cashier girl doesn't know how to calculate, even with a calculator. She over charged me and when I told her, she then gave me back $3 extra from what she owed me. 🤦‍♀️. Pholourie were big.“

“Colorful spot with a festive back room run by chef owner Osei Blackett. He's bringing his hometown flavors of Trinidad and Tobago to Ariapita.The $25 all you can eat every Friday is a BBQ deal that's hard to beat.. I believe there is a 2 hour time limit.He was recently featured in Food and Wine @foodandwineHe also runs everything oxtails at Smoagutsburg in Williamsburg and Prospect Park and those oxtails empanadas are ?Chicken was perfect, lamb was tender, pig tail was a first for me and tasted good. The shrimp were huge. Some days they have fish as well I was told.Scalloped potatoes and mac salad were one of the best I've had and took some home!Go hungry, grab a platter and experience BBQ Trinidadian styl“

“Food was absolutely amazing! We had the shrimp appetizer (one of the best fried shrimp dishes I’ve had in many years) and the jerk chicken. Quality is extremely high, flavors are on point and everything was cooked perfectly. Just go here. It’s an absolute gem!“

“Had a refreshing Ginger beverage that was delicious. First time in and highly recommended. The spot is bright and colorful, the bartender appeared cool, the music was a vibe from ol school to new school. The menu had multiple options of tropical beverages. I will return the spot was very intimate and personal.

Wheelchair accessibility: ♿️friendly“

“It was a good experience, I went there initially to find out how much it would be for a small pan of BBQ chicken and it was way too much so I didn't order it but I did get half chowmein and half fried rice with BBQ chicken and it was really good. I'm Guyanese so they did a great job with the food.“

“Great place to eat at, employees are friendly and the food is amazing full of flavor. there bakery is also amazing. the cakes they make is like a art piece and it tastes like it came from heaven. go there for your next dinner trust me you won’t regret it“

“My husband was craving fried chicken. We stumbled upon this small southern restaurant in Flatbush. When we entered they asked if it was our first time, we replied yes. We were then provided samples of the Mac n cheese, yams, cornbread stuffing, banana pudding and soul punch (non-alcoholic). Everything was absolutely delicious. We ordered a platter with fried chicken, potato salad and Mac n cheese as well as a snack box of fried shrimp, salad & dinner roll. Stop by and enjoy the music, vibes, awesome service and delicious food.“

“This place is a hidden gem! Family owned, well rounded from the greeting when you enter, to the music, to the food. Staff is down to earth! I always feel like I'm a guest at my family establishment if that makes sense. I told my friends about Trinijam and said, "See for yourselves." they all agreed this place is refreshing!!!!

If you have out of town guest, this should be your 1st and last stop!!!!

Thank you, MR. & and MRS. Trinijam (Latoya) & Staff

Parking: Music is TASTEFUL!!!!!!“

“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 food was amazing. I came for brunch and got the crab cake sliders and the chicken and waffles. The caramel sauce for the waffles was tooooo good. The service was amazing and fast. Jordan was our waiter and made sure we were satisfied the entire time. I’ll definitely return!“

“The food, drinks music, atmosphere and excellent service. I will def be back and recommend to family and friends ❤️“

“the food is great but the staff need to be honest with customers they r enquiring about the type of food they have on sale. eg. (I ask the cashier and the counter clerks what type of fried rice they had if it is brown or white rice she said all the food is brown rice so I order but it was white rice instead this is not the first time I have been given wrong information from these staff from both locations, which is not right they can just be straight forward and say they don't have.) Now for the reason I am commenting is because the white rice will drop my insulin which is dangerous for me that is y I especially ask the clerk whether it white or brown rice if I had known the truth I wouldn't have purchased it and its a gud thing i hadnt taste it, so please tell ur staffs to give proper and honest answer when someone ask u about ur meals because it could cause someone their health just for a few buck.“

“I come to P&S in Brooklyn from Maryland just for the plait bread - it's so good. It's warm, soft, and fresh. The customer service is subpar and the small space leaves a lot to be desired, but I've looked past it for years.“

“I never heard of this restaurant before , I am happy that President Ali paid a visit. I will definitely be coming in a few days to get my dinner. Just listening to the charsmisic owner air her points of concern ,speaks volume about her. I urge all food lovers to patronize this restaurant.“

“Delicious late night meal. Clean atmosphere“

“I usually get jerk chicken there and patties. These are the ones I like to buy there. The other food are good too but, I have my preferences. Just jerk chicken,not the meal . Long time ago, I used to buy fish there but,it became too hot/ spicy for me to digest.“

“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 .“

“First of all let me start by saying..it's worth the wait. If you are coming here on a Sunday, just know you will be waiting at least 3 hours. We came here for brunch at 2pm. We put our name on the list at 2:30 and was told it would be a 1.5 hour wait. Well 2 hours went by, we checked back in and was told it would be another 30 minutes. Went back in after 30 minutes and was told it was be less than 10. We didn't sit at a table until around 5:20ish. As soon as we sat down, the waitress apologized in advance stating there was only one chef working and needed a pause in-between taking orders. As if that didn't make anything any better, we were about fed up and just ready to go. However, we decided to stick through since we came so far, and I'm glad we did.The waitress offered our table free shots which was a plus. Shortly after, it was our turn to put our food order in and we started with appetizer and ordered our entrees. The second my lips touched the food, IT WAS AN INSTANT HIT! I literally forgot every single second, minute and hour that I was waiting to eat this food. And that wad just the appetizer. We had the catfish tenders. The batter, the juicy fish, the freshness. 10s across the board. The biscuits...the biscuits alone could open up a shop by itself. So flaky, yet thick. I love me a good southern biscuit. Then the entree. ...Let me just say, forget everything I said about the beginning of this review. Run, don't walk..RUN to FlamingoBABY Kitchen. IT'S WORTH THE WAIT. Shout out to Natasha our waitress from North Carolina with that great southern hospitality. She definitely made our experience better. This review might've been a little different if we had a different waitress. I'm glad we stayed! 10/10!!“

“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!!!“

“Good Food, Good Vibes, Good Wine Based Drinks and the best Chef and Mixologist out there.“

“This ice cream shop been open for over 40 years and featured on ABC Channel 7 news. It was on the news because Landlord REFUSES TO ANsWER THE OWNER and explain why he wants his shop closed. This store has great food, great pricing, great atmosphere and Profesional. Community is doing a great job surrounding the store and store owner with support. Now along with tuba, and drums, let's also give the landlord bag pipes, and guitars with amps to listen to as well. Lets support this store owner.“

“Awesome place to hang and great food!!!“

“This review is a response to my one star review review that I initially posted below and for some reason I cannot take down!!

This food is EXCELLENT!!

My initial review was regarding them canceling my order on Grubhub and I was so hungry and disappointed because this is literally the best Caribbean/soul food in Brooklyn!

I wanted it so bad. I decided to call them first and see if there was an issue with Grubhub so that my order doesn’t get canceled again. The owner explained to me that her husband I had some serious health issues that she had to attend to, and her restaurant was not open for a few days, and the GrubHub service wasn’t fully activated.

I know she is saying the truth because when I tried to order via GrubHub a few days prior, A message just posted that they are not delivering via the GrubHub service at the moment. I guess they were getting so many orders that they had to cancel while she was taking care of her family.

I get it. I can only imagine having a family emergency while trying to run & operate a restaurant business!!

Therefore, I am doing my due diligence since I can’t remove the older review in which I did say the food was good. I was just confused about GrubHub being canceled twice.

Again, this food is not good. It is actually excellent!! It’s comfort food with Caribbean touches. You can see that she put ginger & thyme and rosemary, and everything taste amazing. The portions are well sized. It arrives hot.

I am grateful that she was able to open up her business again and get her Grubhub running and that she communicated to me what had happened - That’s how you run a business!!

10 out of 10 in ALL categories!!

I starred it as one of my favorites. I will definitely not only be ordering again, but also referring to as many people that I know here!! Someone else left a rating on their Grubhub that Keith Lee needs to come down to New York City and try this restaurant and review it & I agree. They deserve all the business!!

This time I had the jerk chicken with macaroni and cheese, shrimp, rice, and peas, trand sautéed spinach on the side and a carrot cake!

I’m told to try their beef ribs, so those will be next!!

Vegetarian options: Spinach“

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

“Лучшее место в Москве чтобы томно провести вечер.“

“I always get good food from here. I saw that you got a bad review and I want to clear that up. They complained about the plantains being tough. I'm from the Caribbeans and I grew up on plantains so I know what to expect. They are a little tougher than other foods but I already know that. The Mac and cheese is a little dry though. I like mine a little creamier. Just bake it a little less, that's it. And it still tastes good. I have had other items on your menu and it is very good. Listen, I had a couple of coupons that you gave me on Uber Eats and they just disappeared. I enjoy your restaurant and those coupons help. You guys are good. Sometimes you have to tweak stuff a little and you'll be fine.“

“Soldiers is getting bad, I'm not sure if they changed the chef but I waited all week to get the stew peas and rice which had no seasoning, none, not even salt and pepper in when I call to inform the Of this error they had attitude think I was going to move my car and come back for a refund (which is what they hope for) 2nd Saturday morning 9am I buy food because I don't want stale food 2nd time the fried dumpling are drenched in cold oil and and then breakfast cold Not sure what you want to do but but uncooked hard meat is killing black folks and not listening isnt working neither.“

“Awesome experience and the food was great“

“Chef Shorne is a genius with this, the fresh ingredients and the different flavors are worth coming to Brooklyn for! Oxtail grilled cheese, top knotch, mac n cheese amazing , lavender chicken is so moist it's a crime. Full experience is sitting at the counter when the chef is in the building!“

“The Food Is Great And The Workers Are Polite“

“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.“

“The host was very nice. Food was on point and tasty.“

“SVG serves the best saltfish patty I’ve ever tasted! The flavors were incredible, and every bite was cooked to perfection. On top of that, the staff were attentive and made sure everything was just right. Everyone working there was so kind and welcoming, which really added to the experience. Highly recommend SVG for anyone looking for great food and amazing service!“
