“We used RyRy’s Catering for an office party, and everything was outstanding from start to finish. The food arrived right on time, which made our setup stress-free and allowed our event to stay on schedule. The food was amazing, and everyone was raving about it!

The cashier was so kind when we inquired about catering for our event, and the owner was incredibly helpful over the phone and through email. We will definitely be ordering again for future events.

Thank you, RyRy’s, for the amazing food and exceptional service!“

“I had an amazing birthday celebration on Friday 03/13/26. The food is always superb. The music/DJ was rocking. The service was polite and on point. Felicia, the manager was hospitable, beautiful and extremely accommodating to our guest. And she did it all with that pretty smile. We loved the special effects of the bubbles during our birthday song. I pray for continued BLESSINGS over this establishment,and the CEO/owner. There is no doubt your business will multiply financially, and the recognition grows in and out of the community because of the service and professionalism. and of course because of the food and drinks. 🙏🏾❤️🥰✊🏾 With kindness Victoria, birthday celebrant“

“Don't let this tiny place dictate your opinion. The ox tail was flavorful and the fat melted in your mouth, meat falls off the bone so you know it has been cooking for a bit. The staff are friendly and welcoming. A hidden gem worth visiting if you're in the hood.“

“If your looking for good eats and a place to have an ultimate experience with customer service this is it the best/cheapest oxtail in NYC I myself my wife and my father in law love it here and we will continue to come truly a staple in the community“

“Proper place to party nice music great customer service and great bottle packages For birthday and special events ONE BAR AND LOUNGE is a must 🥃🥃🥃🥃“

“Place is very clean, the food does taste good, you only have to watch out for the amount you take it goes by weight. Overall, I like the food here, its buffet style most things are weighted by the pound.“

“i’ve lived in the area for many years and have passed this place several times, but never tried it… tonight I decided to order via Uber Eats and crossed my fingers. to my surprise, everything was very tasty and the food came hot. The red pea soup taste good, fresh and authentic. The Stew chicken, jerk chicken, mac & cheese, and rice and peas, were all very tasty. I called in just to make sure the red pea soup did not contain pork. the gentleman that answered the phone was so polite. Great customer service. oh, and by the way, the red pea soup does not have pork in it… A+ in my book no pork on my fork lol i’ll definitely be ordering from here again.“

“Rock Island & Grill = Jamaican food heaven 🌟. I went in skeptical, left a believer. Jerk chicken was ON POINT—spicy, smoky, and so tender it fell off the bone. Oxtail was fall-apart amazing, cooked with love and served with rice & peas that hit like a warm hug. Grilled fish? Fresh catch, perfectly seasoned. 🔥

Only thing? Lines get long on weekends, but trust it’s worth it. If you’re craving authentic Jamaican with a laid-back vibe, Rock Island & Grill’s your spot.“

“Earlier this morning..... My first experience at Door Restaurant in the borough of Queens.... OMG I tried the Traditional Jamaican Breakfast: Liver, Saltfish, Callaloo, provisions omg. Couldn't eat it all but I killed the Saltfish. Restaurant wasn't crowded. Good service.. I still have enough leftovers for a few more meals 😂😂😂😂 My friend enjoyed her jerk chicken with peas and rice.. 😋“

“Kaieteur Express II delivers wonderful and vibrant West Indian flavors with a nice selection of traditional regional dishes. The stews, curries, and fried rice choices are seasoned beautifully, capturing authentic tastes that stand out in the neighborhood. The atmosphere is casual and no-nonsense, primarily geared toward quick takeout that arrives hot and ready to enjoy. It is a great destination if you appreciate robust, comforting spices and generous portions.“

“This is the best tasting West Indian food in N.Y. ! Guyanese style Chinese food , best on Jamaica Ave and probably Queens! The food took less then 10 min to come and the staff had no attitude!“

“Their green juice was soooo good w/ the chickpea patty! Would definitely be coming again.“

“Some people prefer quality over quantity. But this was both. Most cheesiest rasta pasta $12 and added jerk chicken $7 iv ever eaten. Also the portion size was so much that the container couldn't close. Check them out. I'd recommend.“

“The Food Is Great And The Workers Are Polite“

“Absolutely loved the Caribbean-style cuisine! The food was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully seasoned, with authentic Caribbean spices in every bite. The portions were generous, and everything tasted homemade and satisfying. The warm, welcoming atmosphere made the experience even better. Highly recommended for anyone who enjoys delicious, authentic Caribbean flavors!“

“The Curry Goat is the best, to me the best in Queens.!!“

“Roti Corner provides a wonderful selection of authentic Caribbean flavors with their soft, freshly made roti wraps and rich, flavorful fillings. The stews and curries are packed with traditional spices that soak into the flatbread beautifully, creating a hearty and satisfying meal. The shop is small and operates with a very straightforward counter service focused on getting your food out while it is hot. It is a fantastic local destination if you are looking for genuine comfort food that delivers on taste.“

“Great food and staff with service Check it out everyone“
