About Kassim's

Kassim's is a well-known Caribbean and Indian restaurant on Jamaica Avenue. The menu offers a wide range of meats, vegetables, legumes, beverages, desserts, soups, and stews. The polite and efficient staff deliver neatly prepared orders, ensuring freshness. Customers often praise the food for tasting like “home,” with dishes such as stew chicken and jerk chicken being popular choices. The stew chicken is seasoned well and falls off the bone, while the fried rice and cookup rice complement the main dishes perfectly. The restaurant also offers complimentary steam cabbage that is crispy. Many find the prices very affordable, with some meals costing only $8 or $10, and even free plantains with certain orders. The owner provides great service, and the place is considered a hidden gem for delicious, heartfelt Caribbean and Indian food. The restaurant caters to vegetarians and those with dietary restrictions but has limited space, mainly focused on takeout. Parking can be a challenge due to high customer volume. Wheelchair accessibility is limited because of the tight entrance and minimal floor space. Overall, Kassim's is a favorite for flavorful, affordable meals that feel like home.
