13 Best Caribbean Restaurants in New York

“My wife and I generally eat for five people, we ordered 4 small plates and 2 mains, still looking into dessert. Each dish had its own layer of perfection with unique flavors and exquisite presentation. I’d say a restaurant on its way to becoming Michelin…..bravo! Oh and the ole school hip hop added to the vibe. Enjoyed this dinner date immensely!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

“YUM! Great service, from the minute we walked in! The friendly hostess recognized us from a previous visit, the wait staff were on point, the chef came over to our table with complimentary soup, the music was upbeat and our food was delicious! Great vibes, highly recommend!“

“so great! the french fries are amazing and it’s so calming and welcoming. all the food looks so delicious, and the ginger beer is to dieeee for! 😉😍😍😊 if you’re in the harlem area, it’s a must try, and you cannot skip.“

“Great healthy love-inspired food. You just earned thousands of new fans with the CBS story. ¡excelente! Will visit when I'm back in NYC“

“Great service, Great food“

“love the music and the food was great..“

“Very nice atmosphere. Drinks and food were good. I just wouldn't partake in the oxtail special again. They only give one big oxtail, and it didn't have any meat on it. I would recommend ordering from the actual menu. Besides that, the service the staff provided was amazing and very welcoming. This place is good for date night or catching up with friends for drinks. They also had music. I went on a Friday.“

“What a gem. This cozy restaurant has everything I needed after a long day. The staff is friendly and polite. The space is comfortable - not too fancy and not too casual. Most importantly- the FOOD. The Salad Tropical was the most delicious salad I’ve had in my life - fresher than fresh with a unique and perfect blend of subtle flavors. I judge restaurants by their pork and the Lechon did not disappoint. Delicate flavorful seasoning complemented by tenderness. I will definitely remember this meal and recommend this place. Easily, I offer 5 stars.“

“My experience at Omar's Kitchen & Rum Bar was amazing. My server was so attentive and knew the menu very well. She was able to help me with my questions on what to get *I got the Escovitch Fish* and led me to swapping out one of my sides for the mac and cheese which was amazing. The drinks were delicious- I got a sorrel and soursop mocktail, so good and the staff was super nice as well! The music playing as well as the decor made for a great ambiance, I would definitely be back and recommend people to come eat here.“

“An amazing place yo share with your loves one and have a good talk and share a delicious bottle of wine, food it’s amaze ! Really tasty and flavorful l, 10/10“

“The food was cooked to perfection texture is perfect I must say and the staff is friendly and attentive so the service gets a five-star unfortunately the food doesn't quite hit like a Jamaican spot should the flavors aren't their. it is good don't get me wrong but it is lacking that Jamaican passion those hole in the wall spots have.“

“Washington Heights location. Huge portions. Service was great. Was seated right away. The mofongo y churrasco was so yummy.“

“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.
