From morning till night, they’re serving up delicious, flavorful dishes that really hit the spot. We tried a mix of classic eats, and everything was packed with taste – you can tell it's made with care. The place itself is small and simple, but that just adds to the charm. It’s no-frills but totally satisfying.“

“Visited from Orlando,Florida and was in the mood for some Guyanese homemade food for brunch. We ate here and they had a wide variety of food options from doubles, cook up, bake and salt fish and various curries paired with The best tasting roti I have had in a long time. We ended it all off with some very tasty Pastries that are homemade in store. The owner Serita is very hospitable and made sure we had everything and that we were well taken care of! If you are ever in the Queens/Long Island area I highly encourage you to stop in for a hearty meal“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I have tried almost everything on the menu and let me say, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The food is delicious, the portions are perfect and the price is right. Everyone is so pleasant as well. The last thing that I had the pleasure of trying was the Ackee and Saltfish. It tasted like HEAVEN. I'm very picky about that dish and I don't usually order that because everyone cannot make it. But I was pleasantly surprised. Reggae Cuisine has a customer for life. I definitely recommend 👌🏾 😌 ☺️“

“My Family and I just finished having a late lunch here. The food was sooooo good and the service was great, we appreciate the staff accommodating our large party in such a short notice.

“This oxtail special is really tasty! Im definitely going back to try their other stuff.

The place is definitely small, and dimly lit. But if you're ordering to go, it shouldnt matter

There was no menu at the time, but they kindly gave me a rundown of whats available

Waiting time was not long at all“

“There was a long line when we got in.. but it went by fast since they serve the food pretty fast.. really good portions for their Roti.. will definitely go back and try other meals.. we had the beef and chicken options.. we notice a lot of people just do take outs..we opt to eat there as there are tables but they will serve your food as a take out and you just clean up and fend for yourselves 👍🏽“

“Great small restaurant for mom style Guyanese food, i.e., if mom was a great cook..“

“Came tonight because I felt like having something that tastes like “home” and I definitely got that here. I ordered stew chicken with fried rice and it was very tasty. The chicken was falling off the bone and seasoned well. The fried rice was cooked well also and complimented the stew. The complimentary steam cabbage was crispy. The woman serving the food was very friendly, even while dealing with a line. I would recommend this place. Gonna go back myself to scope out the roti 😂“

“i had the most delicious cheese straws from them took me back to my childhood. Dan also makes the MOST AMAZING black cakes.“

“The staff are very warm and welcoming and the food is always fresh and very tasty. The prices are unbeatable. I just ❤️ ❤️ eating there.“

“I came here with my family who is visiting from another country. The woman behind the counter was so kind and hospitable and attentive to us made us feel right at home. She made this experience absolutely magical. This is another level, nothing I expected, but everything I needed.

P.S some of their drinks are homemade, including the peanut drink and the hibiscus drink which we had. Those were exceptional. We are fans of hibiscus drinks, and these were the best we ever had.“

“We used Trini Bites for our baby shower earlier this month and we are so glad that we did. Renee was a pleasure to work with. Great communication throughout the process. The food was amazing. Our guests loved the mini shrimp doubles as an appetizer and the curry chicken and curry goat were delicious. I can’t wait to use Trini Bites for our next event.“

“We always order using delivery apps though wanted to come in for the full experience. SO GLAD WE DID. First off, this has to be one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever been in. That made me feel really happy. Now to the food! Came for the Taco Tuesday Special and so happy we did. We came very late in the evening so we missed the jerk chicken tacos though I was not disappointed in the jerk beef tacos. Such a great deal and it was delicious. These were the full size tacos, not the minis. Run don’t walk as I’m sure this deal wont last. We also ordered the fried fish and grits , we paid for extra for more fish and so goad we did. I didn’t expect a carribean place to be my new go to fish spot but here we are! We ordered the collard greens which were a little different than the southern style I’m accustomed to though had a spice to kick it up.

Friendly staff and very welcoming. They offered us samples of their new fresh made sea moss which was delicious and we grabbed more to take home.

Highly recommend visiting here for your next meal! Great price to value ratio on serving sizes and there are always great deals on delivery apps.“

“Nolan's stands out as an exceptional establishment, offering a remarkable representation of Caribbean cuisine. As someone who was born and raised in Jamaica, I can confidently say that their food truly captures the essence of our culinary traditions. The ambiance is simply delightful, creating a wonderful dining experience. My order was prepared fresh on the spot, which is a testament to their commitment to quality, ensuring that every dish is served at its best without any reheating. Additionally, their homemade drinks, particularly the Raspberry, are absolutely refreshing and delightful.“

“I ordered 3 garlic fried rice. It tastes good, but the chicken was extremely dry. The portion size is very good. I don't like how the place is crowded with men who were consuming alcohol and very rowdy. When you walked in, the men had something to say to women customers.“

“Before visiting this restaurant, I read the reviews on Google and I never got up to go one day. I was passing by and I decided to go in and check them out first of all if you were looking for like homemade Guyanese fried rice then definitely go there. It’s so yummy. It’s a little on the spice side but very yummy. I also tried the bubble tea and it was amazing for a small restaurant, the white pudding is also very good and fresh. Definitely check them out.“

“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 🥃🥃🥃🥃“

“Good like home very taste“

“Fazila catered our Guyanese Hindu wedding at Crest Hollow Country Club.

Her restaurant prepared traditional Guyanese 7 curry along with vegetarian appetizers and dishes like vegan fried rice and chowmein.

We also catered pone for our henna night.

Fazila had great customer service. She knew I was nervous about logistics of serving 7 curry at a non Guyanese venue and she spent several meetings both in person and at the venue finalizing operational details.

She advised on the correct amount of food and introduced us to items that we didn’t previously consider like sweet plantain for the appetizers and ambrosia salad for dessert. We had the appropriate amount of food and variety! She ensured we spent our money wisely.

Overall, she was a joy to work with during this planning process.

Now the most important part, the quality of the food - it was delicious!

When my husband and I finally sat down to eat we were so delighted to eat the 7 curry that tasted homemade and had the right amount of pepper.

Our guests told us that they enjoyed the food a lot, even our guests that flew in from Guyana!

I appreciate Fazila’s honesty, hard work, and quality!“

“They need to make more breakfast, you have to rush there to get it before it runs out, by 9:30am. At least make enough for the people until 11:00, everyone clearly loves their breakfast but it’s never enough. I overheard women on line complaining about this, as well as my mom.“

“Food was good, however the birthday girl had to wait longer than everyone else for her food. When her food eventually came out it was cold.
Drinks were okay but not strong enough. Has to ask for an extra shot to take away the sweetness.
Overall, a nice hole in the wall spot. Can’t accommodate a group bigger than six.“
