A Gem for Flavor and Service!
​I had an incredible dining experience here and can’t recommend it enough! From the moment we sat down, the atmosphere and service were top-notch.

​A huge, special thanks to the chef for being so attentive and accommodating. They went above and beyond to customize our dishes to safely work around our allergies, which made the meal stress-free and truly enjoyable. It’s rare to find a kitchen that handles substitutions with such care and professionalism.

​The food itself was outstanding:
​The Jerk Tacos: Absolutely awesome. The perfect balance of spice and texture—definitely a must-try!

​The Jerk Chicken: You could tell it was incredibly fresh. It was seasoned to perfection and cooked just right.
​To top it all off, our server, Lloyd, was fantastic. He was friendly, efficient, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the night.

I didn't particularly care for the food here. I had fried chicken with Mac and Cheese. My wife had oxtail with rice and peas. The fried chicken seemed as though it was just sitting around in the kitchen waiting for someone to order it. Not very fresh or tasty. My wife said that she liked the oxtail. I tasted them but didn't care for the flavor. The Mac and cheese and the peas and rice were quite bland. This was a rather expensive meal for rather mediocre food.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience at Krave Restaurant in New Rochelle was unacceptable — especially because it was for my mother’s 70 birthday.

We made a reservation ahead of time for 10, first, they told us we had to decrease our guest list because they didn’t documented our reservation for 10, and they only have space for 8 people, ok so we did. We had 15-minute grace period. We arrived only about 10-15 minutes after the reservation time, well within that window. However, when we got there the host was extremely rude and immediately told us that because we were “late,” they no longer had food available for us. This made no sense, since we were still within the grace period and had a confirmed reservation.

Instead of helping or trying to accommodate us, we were treated disrespectfully and left standing at the door with our balloon and birthday cakes for about an hour and a half with no real communication. The host did not even come back to us After she told us she will try to figure something out. Eventually we were told by someone else that the kitchen had run out of food completely and they would not be able to serve us at all. We were given a suggestion to pay $25 to come in for mimosa drinks only with my 70-year-old mother who doesn’t drink.

Because of their poor planning and lack of professionalism, we had to leave and rush to find another restaurant to celebrate my mother’s birthday. What should have been a happy family event turned stressful and embarrassing.

A reservation should mean something, and customers should be treated with basic respect — especially when celebrating an important occasion. Between the disorganized service, rude host, and the fact that the restaurant ran out of food, this was one of the worst dining experiences I’ve had. I would not recommend Krave Restaurant for any event or celebration.

They’re never open. Tried to visit 3 times

The consistency is problematic, what may be good in one visit may not be as good the next time. This is not the major issue, the fact that items run out in the menu is not the major issue, the biggest problem is being charged for items that were ordered but never received. This is a reflection of the restaurant being under staffed… so you may get decent food after a very long wait, possibly not have the opportunity to try items on the menu, and perhaps be overcharged. So sad for a place that could be so much better.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent drinks! If you get a chance definitely check out their buffet brunches & unlimited mimosas/rum punch. Best place to go if you're into Caribbean food with a soulfoud twist

This is absolutely one of our favorite places to dine. We took my father here for a birthday meal and they did not disappoint. The food is amazing, the atmosphere is warm and comforting with the best music playing to set the tone. Lloyd is a great server, he's very attentive, engaging and kind. Well worth the price.

Love Krave! I enjoy their brunch and dinner menu. Anytime I go for brunch I have to get their porridge. The consistency is truly perfection (I am funny about food consistency) and it taste amazing too. Today I had the crab and lobster Benedict which was really good. I would recommend them adding home fries to the menu though. My aunt had the oxtail which is always on point at Krave. We both had the rum punch which we enjoyed. The atmosphere is always a vibe.
