50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Corona

“Literally a taste of Dominican Republic just in Queens. The clubhouse sandwich is absolutely amazing, the chimi de pollo, Yaroa, their chicken bites and the tostones (tastes like straight from motherland). It’s definitely worth buying, God bless the cooks. The staff, are friendlier in person than on the phone.“

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

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“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“

“Tonight, the incredible NYC dining experiences continued at Kabawa -- the ridiculously delicious Caribbean inspired restaurant on the lower East side. 🔥

As remarkable as I look, the hospitality was top-tier -- the kind of service that feels like family. I really could eat there monthly, it was so relaxed, comforting, and delicious. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place was my wife and I first dinner reservation in the city during our trip. The service was so awesome I have to start there. Raya was amazing! She was a great server and went above and beyond taking my wife and I birthday pics. That elevated our experience in so many ways. The vibe and decor made the pictures standout. We love everything we ate, but the lamb chops were a standout.“

“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.“

“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“

“Very impressed since they was decorating the place. I was passing by every day till they finally open and I desire to try the food, I was curious and also I’m not a vegan person. When I finally try that food I just got in shock. Super tasty, delicious, the Trinidad and Dominican Republic flavors- was so down the earth. So thankful to have them at the neighborhood, the service is excellent and Yesenia and her employees super professionals. The ambiance and decoration soo relaxing- I love the food and the service, how they welcome you, is hard to find a place like that. Highly recommended to everyone- vegan or not vegan- 🥗 the talent is there and I wish them success- nice location, sparkling clean - if you are looking for good food - this is your spot-“

“food is bussing!!!. love the customer service 👌“

“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!“

“I will give this place 10 stars…. I placed a huge order for my cousin repass dinner.. the food was amazing..curry goat.. pumpkin.. roti… I will def recommend this place for events… The owner is amazing very friendly.. D ROTI HUT IS THE BEST IN QUEENS!!!!!???“

“Saturday was a beautiful day. Service was excellent. Our meal was delicious across the board (7 Queens). The beverages were good . The only negative was the bathroom situation. Although communication on that issue could have been better, I will return again.“

“Seriously fantastic food. The bustup shot Roti and curry was amazing. Considering how insanely popular and crowded the place was it ran very smoothly. I only gave it 4 stars for atmosphere because you can't be that busy and popular and it be a really relaxed environment 😀. The kiosk when you walk in is super convenient and the order comes out right there or you can wait in the crazy line to see everything on offer.

The people working there are really friendly and nice and handled the insanity so well.

Best bustup shot Roti I've had in ages.“

“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 .“

“Good food all the time“

“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!!“

“Food was Amazing location is great weather on perfect day definitely feel like I’m back home inside is also spectacular dining area“

“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.“

“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 😋😋“

“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!!!“

“Bought the cheese roll, fish curry, chicken curry, roti and korilla (bitter melon). It was excellent!! I want to come back to try the other curries though. The menu is different from weekend and weekday just so I'll have to visit again for the goat curry. Thank you tropical revive.“

“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“

“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 stumbled across this place while visiting home, and the food was spicy but amazing. There was only one server, but she handled the entire place like a pro, kudos to her! The atmosphere was very chill and relaxed, with great music, and you could truly taste that the food was cooked with love.“

“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.“

“I was unfamiliar with this restaurant, but my husband received a gift card from his colleagues at his retirement party. We came for Valentine's Day and were very pleased with the choice! We started with Old Fashioned and Fried Green Tomatoes. Perfect batter and crunch. The bacon jam gave the perfect amount of bite. Mr. TSwi had fish (sorry - no photo). I had the garlic clove stuffed filet. It was fork-tender and so delicious. Potatoes fried in tallow butter were decadent. We had the Bread Pudding for dessert - and the leftover for breakfast Sunday morning. Overall, great value for the quality of the food. Not ridiculously expensive. Not ostentatious (TSwi wore jeans and a blazer and was well-dressed compared to others.) We will look forward to coming back again soon.“

“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“

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

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

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

“Service & taste. We (group of 12) served by Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta did a great job by carefully taking our orders with special requests. All went very well & we were all pleased with the overall experience of taste & the service we’ve received. Will definitely be back for the great food.“

“Oxtail was a 10/10, absolutely amazing, and all the sides were great. I wasn’t a big fan of the brown stew chicken (the chicken itself was a bit dry), but the stew was rich and flavorful.
The atmosphere was perfect for a date night or a calm dinner. The owner’s wife even stopped by to let us know they have jazz on some Fridays and weekends, which was a really nice touch. They’re still new, so please be kind — but the FOOD WAS GOOD.We also tried the mango mint non-alcoholic drink, which was refreshing and delicious. Definitely worth checking out!“

“This is a tiny modern Caribbean kitchen spot in Jamaica, Queens. They are serving up a nice mix of classic Jamaican dishes along with some healthy salads, soups, and interesting options like coconut rice. Large orders can expect a longer wait time so order those in advance!

Rasta Pasta with Shrimp 9/10
The pasta is creamy and a little bit more than al dente which I like. There was a lot of shrimp and it was seasoned perfectly and cooked just enough so that it stayed moist and tender!

Rasta Pasta with Salmon 9/10
This is an excellent deal for salmon and pasta! The salmon is soft, fresh, with sweet sauce to complement the savory flavor. It's a perfect mix of healthy and heavy food.

Curry Goat 9/10
Perfectly spiced, savory with medium curry strength and the meat was super soft and falling off the bone.

Soup of the day 8/10
This is an excellent chicken soup. The broth is thick and savory. The chicken is falling off the bone. Chunks of potato and carrot to top it off. Lots of flavor!

Jerk Chicken Sandwich 8/10
It's spicy and reasonably priced and it comes with some slaw. I think it could be dressed up a bit but it's good.

Kale Salad 8/10
It's a healthy and delicious mix of greens and veggies like cucumber, tomato, mango, corn.

Braised Slow Cooked Oxtail (Large) 7/10
I'll have to try this again because when I got it, the oxtail wasn't falling off the bone like I expected. I think it needed more time in the slowcooker. It also needed some more spice.

Yard Style Jerk Chicken (Large) w/ rice and peas 7/10
The chicken is juicy with mild spice and the container was packed but I think the rice and peas was dry. The coconut white rice is better. Plantains were great.“

“The food here is amazing, fantastic even I would say the best. The Chicken Fried rice is really good and has tons of flavor with it without or without it's sauce.“

“Awesome experience and the food was great“

“Great staff and even better food 💜“

“Sheldon was great at helping me order. His customer service skills are above and beyond geared towards making the customer have a great experience. He's a gentleman and knowledgeable to answer any question about the menu. The jerk chicken.. to die for; very delicious. The rice and salad were very tasty complements. I would highly recommend eating in or ordering to go at Jerk King.“

“Good breakfast Good lunch and good dinner“

“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“

“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!! 🤌🏾“
