50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Queens Village

“They need to make more breakfast, you have to rush there to get it before it runs out, by 9:30am. At least make enough for the people until 11:00, everyone clearly loves their breakfast but it’s never enough. I overheard women on line complaining about this, as well as my mom.“

“The food was great,tasty and yummy. I don't really have any negative feedback other than they are to continue working and providing great food , entertainment and just a place to relax.My only reason for giving it 4 was due to the fact I have not had a chance to try all their food. Keep up the great 👍 work.“

“Visited from Orlando,Florida and was in the mood for some Guyanese homemade food for brunch. We ate here and they had a wide variety of food options from doubles, cook up, bake and salt fish and various curries paired with The best tasting roti I have had in a long time. We ended it all off with some very tasty Pastries that are homemade in store. The owner Serita is very hospitable and made sure we had everything and that we were well taken care of! If you are ever in the Queens/Long Island area I highly encourage you to stop in for a hearty meal“

“My Family and I just finished having a late lunch here. The food was sooooo good and the service was great, we appreciate the staff accommodating our large party in such a short notice. The vibe was super chill and Pops was dope, came thru with a few samples 🙏🏾 Thanks again, we will be back next time we are in NYC.“

“Had to pleasure to professionally help one his sisters. She told me of her brothers restaurant. After our meeting , I went straight there. A real old school simple place…her brother was a gentlemen and so friendly , and the counter man Joe. I had jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantains. Simply amazing. ?“

“The food here is amazing, fantastic even I would say the best. The Chicken Fried rice is really good and has tons of flavor with it without or without it's sauce.“

“Service & taste. We (group of 12) served by Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta did a great job by carefully taking our orders with special requests. All went very well & we were all pleased with the overall experience of taste & the service we’ve received. Will definitely be back for the great food.“

“I have tried almost everything on the menu and let me say, I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. The food is delicious, the portions are perfect and the price is right. Everyone is so pleasant as well. The last thing that I had the pleasure of trying was the Ackee and Saltfish. It tasted like HEAVEN. I'm very picky about that dish and I don't usually order that because everyone cannot make it. But I was pleasantly surprised. Reggae Cuisine has a customer for life. I definitely recommend 👌🏾 😌 ☺️“

“One night out on my recent trip to NY and my buddy recommended that we have out here. Nice mature people restaurant and club. They had vegetation options that were good and the food was really good. The music level and selection was also really good. The friendliness and prompt service from the waitress was on point. I would certainly hang back out here the next time I am in town.“

“Nice rooftop setting with a good Caribbean vibe. The staff was attentive and the food prepared in a timely manner. The portions were really generous...no complaints at all! I did find the seasoning/flavors to be good, but not awesome. And do check out the variety of mixed drinks available! All in all a great group visit, and I would definitely visit again!“

“Good like home very taste“

“Best tasting Caribbean Food !!!! ?“

“I took a bite of my jerk chicken and I can feel the love in the food! wow it’s absolutely delicious. I had the jerk chicken, rice and peas, and plantains. I will be absolutely coming here again. I’m putting this place into my permanent rotation!“

“The food is excellent and abundant. Just trust the person serving you from the abundant display of ingredients, and simply nod, even if you’re not sure what they said, and you’ll be happy. Know that what you ask for may be challenged by the server by how they’d prefer to serve it (“This is better with gravy…. Do you want more curry potato to balance out the heat?”) or what most people order as a side. Fact is, this is very much like being fed by family/friends. Embrace it.

“Service” is a hard thing to rate in stars. It is not what you expect. If you don’t understand the lingo or the accent, you might be confused, intimidated, or think they are mad at you. Just don’t worry about it, nod and ay.

There is no “atmosphere”, really - just a very practical, abundant serving station behind a hooded glass enclosure that will make your mouth water.

Vegetarian options: Ask for a roti or (dal pourie) with vegetables. Which ones? Ask for all of them. Nod each time they ask you to reconfirm. Keep the roti separate. One serving is two FULL meals.“

“Nolan's stands out as an exceptional establishment, offering a remarkable representation of Caribbean cuisine. As someone who was born and raised in Jamaica, I can confidently say that their food truly captures the essence of our culinary traditions. The ambiance is simply delightful, creating a wonderful dining experience. My order was prepared fresh on the spot, which is a testament to their commitment to quality, ensuring that every dish is served at its best without any reheating. Additionally, their homemade drinks, particularly the Raspberry, are absolutely refreshing and delightful.“

“I only leave reviews if my experience was either Very good or Very bad. However, this food was absolutely DELICIOUS 10/10! Also, shout out to the owner for being a really good communicator and great with the customers. I ordered curry goat, stew chicken and mac & cheese. The portions are big and the taste is even bigger. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience! PS. I have no photos because I destroyed that food :)“

“I started to eat before taking the picture because it smelled so good. The food was excellent and plenty for the price. I wish they were at the park permanently. My coworkers and I thoroughly enjoyed our meals. And the tangerine lemonade was a nice touch to my meal.“

“Being an older Hispanic woman I don’t really eat outside. I was raised to eat at home. I walked by and was given a flyer by the owners daughter. I came back later on and decided to try. I tried the oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. The food was rich in flavor . The service was exceptional and the owner was very friendly. I will definitely be returning.“

“The food was good. The drinks were tasty. The vibe was nice and cozy. It was tight but once those drink hit and the music banging, you don’t really care. However I deducted a star because when we got home, we saw that they put a “credit card” fee (like who does that? Where was the warning? Not sure that’s legal) and an automatic 22% gratuity for a table of two. Now I’m not quite sure I would return. Especially not with a card (which I use for travel points and not ordering as much as I did.)“

“Bought a tray of mithai to send away to my sister-in-law in Florida because it’s that good, but when I got home and open the tray it was soggy. I guess the extreme heat during summer and how the mithai was stored at Fazee’s ruined the texture of it. The owner apologized and offered to replace the mithai, and with a pick up time that was convenient for me. Great customer service. Thank you.“
