“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!👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😎😎😎“

Kabawa

Kabawa Caribbean
8 Extra Pl, New York

“What an experience!!!

Absolutely amazing food, energy, and people

Cannot wait to go back.

We started off at Bar Kabawa. The music and vibe there is great. Then headed over to Kabawa

Here are a few highlights

Chuletas Can Can: love it. This is a must get. Insane flavor and crunch and juiciness. I loved putting the meat in the goat curry sauce. That’s the trick chef Mike taught us!! I can’t describe how amazing this is.

Goat: Super flavorful, a bit of spice, great great flavor. We got extra curry sauce which was amazing

Plantain with eggs & caviar: my husband was obsessed with this. It was okay to me but he loved it!!

Pepper sauce: asked for some of this on the side. Yes!!!! Amazing scotch bonnet flavor

Bar Kabawa bites

Solomon Gundy: Wow. Wow. Get it.

Pickled Okra: I love okra and this was next level

Daiquiri: well balanced drink over shaved ice. Fave drink of the night

This was a great culinary tour of the Caribbean

The staff was amazing by the way. We sat by chef Mike who was so personable and clearly passionate about what he does. Super fun and high energy. He was truly impressed by the amount of food we ordered and our ability to finish it.

10/10 will be back!!“

“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.

“This place is a gem!

Food: We got the Oxtail Rigatoni and Jerk Chicken with rice and beans. Incredibly delicious!! The food was incredibly fresh and tasty, even after 2 days in the fridge after we took leftovers, it tasted really good.

Drinks: Marvarita was really good, sugarcane spritz was warm and not very good, you can pass.

Atmosphere: We went at 5pm on a Sunday, there was live music, hilarious singer who complemented people sitting around.

Service: 11/10. Barbara(the owner) is lovely, she came and said hi, chatted with us and even took our order. Our server was Anthony, delightful man, felt like he was a cousin. we felt like we were so welcome and KNOWN in the restaurant.

Pricepoint: ridiculously reasonable esp being in Greenwich.

This will be our go to Jamaican spot from this point on.“

“Peppa’s never misses! The jerk chicken is always juicy, perfectly seasoned, and has that real smoky flavor I grew up on. I’ve also had the curry goat and oxtail both are fire 🔥. The rice & peas, cabbage, and festivals always hit, and the portions are more than worth the price“
