12 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Lindenhurst

“Had a wonderful time on New Years Eve at Island Soul. The food and service were great. The DJ kept everybody engaged and there was a champagne toast at midnight. It was a great way to bring in the New Year with family & friends. We love this local spot!“

“We recently visited the area for six days and ate here four of those six days 😂(would’ve been all six had we found it earlier!) Amazing food, great people, and loved their fresh hibiscus tea! Cannot beat the $7.99 lunch price either! 🤩 Highly recommend!“

“Went to brunch at the barnyard today and it was amazing. The food was great and the drinks and service was phenomenal. I will definitely be making this a regular“

“We catered from Trini Bites for a brunch with friends to celebrate our recent wedding. Working with Renee was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she was attentive and responsive. We knew we wanted to cater Trini food as my husband is Trini and I felt the stakes were high to make sure everything went well! And Renee delivered on every front.

The food was an absolute smash hit -- no tray was left untouched or unpolished, and we even sent folks home with to-go containers as they loved the food so much. Particular favorites were the stew chicken, the buss up shot, the mini doubles, and the curry chana and potatoes. Renee made sure that our dietary preferences were met, which was no small feat as we had vegetarians, vegans, kosher-observant (no shellfish), and halal-observant (no pork or pork byproducts) in attendance!

If you've ever been curious Trini food or simply want to serve something different for your party or gathering, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with Renee and Trini Bites at all.“

“I’m new to the area…. And If you’re looking for a meal that hits every note of flavor and comfort, the oxtail and fresh roti here are an absolute must. The oxtail is cooked to perfection—tender, fall-off-the-bone, and seasoned with rich spices that soak into every bite. The gravy is bold, hearty, and full of depth, perfect for scooping up with their freshly made roti. Speaking of the roti, it’s soft, warm, and flaky, the ideal partner to the savory oxtail. Together, it’s the kind of dish that feels like home—authentic, flavorful, and made with care. Hands down, some of the best oxtail and roti I’ve ever had!“

“This Jamaican spot never misses! I’ve been coming here more often lately, and every visit has been a great experience. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and happy to make recommendations or let you try something new if you’re unsure what to order.

The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are honestly hard to beat these days. You get great quality food without feeling like you’re being overcharged. They even have homemade ice cream, which is such a nice bonus!

What really keeps me coming back is the combination of great food, excellent service, and the warm, family-like atmosphere. If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food with generous portions and friendly people, I definitely recommend giving this place a try. I’ll definitely be back!

FYI. I have tried the jerk chicken, stew chicken and oxtail. All were good :)“

“Stumbled across this AMAZING spot with friends! Service, drinks, food, and vibe were all on point! Thank you! I will be back!“

“I'M FROM A FAMILY THAT KNOWS HOW TO COOK VERY VERY WELL!! LISTEN WHEN I TELL U THAT THIS PLACE IS WHAT YOU CALL A REAL JAMAICAN RESTAURANT..MY 5TH TIME BUYING HERE ,EACH TIME THE EXPERIENCE IS TOP OF THE LINE SERVICE. THE JERK IS MY FAVORITE“

“Well I have been waiting for a good Jamaican spot for a longggg time I been here 2 in 48hours. I went late last night. We got a jerk chicken and the pea soup. The pea soup was prob the best I have ever had. Has no meat in it but the dude that worked there said trust me u will come back for it and we did. It wasn’t finished wen we can back the next morn but we got stew chicken and it was good . The festival that they had was like a little knot and it was awesome! Unlike every other Jamaican spot they greeted us. They were not nasty and rude. They didn’t make me feel bad for giving them my money. So glad that they opened deff a 5star place. I will drive past every spot that I live by to go further down the road to come here !!“

“Always passed this place when heading to my grandparents. Decided to walk in after visiting them, finally try the food.

For context I am a woman whose life goal is to try food from every country around the world.

I bought the Saltfish, Roti, Ginger Beer, and Oxtail to start out.

This food is so well cooked it’s heavenly. The seasoning is perfect. The oxtail meal is so tender it melts in your mouth. Dipping the Roti into the Oxtail juices? Even better.

I plan on coming back soon to try even more. I have my eyes set on the Goat’s Head and Cow Foot soup. The shop is small and quaint, workers are kind. Only downside is there isn’t much seating inside: so your best bet is to order and bring it home.“

“It was great and the food was awesome!“

“I visited the restaurant once for a pick order, I would like to go back. But I ordered online twice recently and I was not disappointed. The chicken, rice and peas, oxtails and Mac and cheese were outstanding. I can't wait to order the chicken again.!“
