Staff here has very little personal skills, the inside was lackluster and in need of repair, food was nothing special.

I love Jamaican good. There are a few spots here in Poughkeepsie NY. Sylvia's is one of the best Jamaican restaurants in NY. I ordered oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage today with a beef patty nd cheese on cocoa bread. There cocoa bread and patties are so fresh they never disappoint. There oxtails... fall off the bone literally, always fresh and delicious. There customer service and atmosphere always welcoming, great place to visit if you are in the area.

Oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage and meat pie. All authentic and I enjoyed it all. The only thing I shared off this meal is the picture. You know it's good when they care enough to deliver the same quality they serve in the restaurant.

Been going here for over a decade, Food is usually great and have no problem but I had such a bad customer service experience I had to leave a review.
Called around 5:30pm asking if they still have stew chicken available. I was told no by a young lady on the phone but she then mentions that they are cooking some right at this moment. I proceeded to ask her how long do you think until its ready and she immediately tells me, "I don't know, i'm not a chef" with a terrible attitude.
I couldn't believe she even said that, and then she tries back tracking after realizing that was somewhat rude & tells me she'll find out the ETA right now. Told her don't bother, lost a customer that day that would've waited up 30mins.
Kinda lives up to the stereotypical Jamaican restaurant, great tasing food, terrible customer service.

Parking: Park on the street, if you call ahead for takeout you shouldn't have to pay street parking unless it's packed inside & you have a wait, otherwise it's a run in run out situation

Kid-friendliness: Jamaicans love the kids dem....as long as they have some broughtupcy!

Called to make an order this evening and the young lady was so rude while taking my order I couldn’t finish it. She must’ve been overwhelmed but her attitude is ALWAYS rude and unacceptable

Best Caribbean food in Poughkeepsie. Portion is less than other restaurants in the area but enough to fill your stomach. Savory stew chicken. Freshly cooked fried chicken, curry chicken and goat, oxtail with rice and beans dishes are few among the popular items offered. Best place for a quick bite or pick up your lunch or eat in the restaurant for dinner. Good friendly customer service.
