“5 Stars-Tha Café

Tha Café is a whole vibe. The moment you walk in, it just feels good—comfortable, stylish, and full of positive energy. Whether you’re coming to chill, eat, or catch a vibe, this place sets the tone right every time. It’s got that real West Indian flavor, both in the food and the atmosphere.

The owner is cool and welcoming, makes you feel like you're part of the fam. The bartenders are fast, friendly, and on point—no long waits, no bad attitudes, just good people doing what they do best.

And the food? Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seasoned to perfection, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell it’s made with love. This ain’t no basic menu—every bite delivers. It’s that kind of food you think about the next day.

Tuesdays between 4 PM and 2 AM—that’s when the spot really comes alive. Good music, good people, good energy. And weekends? Always lit. If you know, you know.

Tha Café is definitely a go-to. Comfortable, attractive, welcoming… everything a great restaurant/lounge should be. If you’re in the area and haven’t pulled up yet, you’re missing out.

Special acknowledgement to the owner & my dear friend, Naala & her professional & courteous staff, Shari, Jermaine, Nick & the entire Dunns River Lounge Staff in Rockville Centre, NY“

“This oxtail special is really tasty! Im definitely going back to try their other stuff.

The place is definitely small, and dimly lit. But if you're ordering to go, it shouldnt matter

There was no menu at the time, but they kindly gave me a rundown of whats available

Waiting time was not long at all“

“Absolutely delicious. Had the oxtail plate and added Mac n cheese. Will definitely be back. Great seasoning I forgot to add the jerk sauce.“

“singh's totally exceeded my expectaions! the atmosphere is amazing, having a night-club vibe in the bar area, and a little section woth a man selling his perfumes and what not. service was exellent, the employees were very attentive and fast with making the food.“

“My fiance got us dinner today & I must say it taste very great. We have been looking for a good Jamaican restaurant for some time now. Every cook has slight dif flavor and you can always taste the dif in food. The food was healthy & the overall service provided was very respectful. We also felt full and great after our meal! Looking forward to coming again :)“

“I must say their food is delicious , shrimp wontons is sooo good .. I had the pepper shrimp over fry rice it was very tasty .. the staff was very friendly .. price is great“

“Great food 🥘 Great staff. Always clean as well nice atmosphere“

“Great start guys( only 3 days open)great food,customer service and management can't ask for better. I will be back. Good luck.“

“Came tonight because I felt like having something that tastes like “home” and I definitely got that here. I ordered stew chicken with fried rice and it was very tasty. The chicken was falling off the bone and seasoned well. The fried rice was cooked well also and complimented the stew. The complimentary steam cabbage was crispy. The woman serving the food was very friendly, even while dealing with a line. I would recommend this place. Gonna go back myself to scope out the roti 😂“

“i had the most delicious cheese straws from them took me back to my childhood. Dan also makes the MOST AMAZING black cakes.“

“awesome place to eat very clean“

“The staff are very warm and welcoming and the food is always fresh and very tasty. The prices are unbeatable. I just ❤️ ❤️ eating there.“

“We used Trini Bites for our baby shower earlier this month and we are so glad that we did. Renee was a pleasure to work with. Great communication throughout the process. The food was amazing. Our guests loved the mini shrimp doubles as an appetizer and the curry chicken and curry goat were delicious. I can’t wait to use Trini Bites for our next event.“

“I came here with my family who is visiting from another country. The woman behind the counter was so kind and hospitable and attentive to us made us feel right at home. She made this experience absolutely magical. This is another level, nothing I expected, but everything I needed.

P.S some of their drinks are homemade, including the peanut drink and the hibiscus drink which we had. Those were exceptional. We are fans of hibiscus drinks, and these were the best we ever had.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I ordered 3 garlic fried rice. It tastes good, but the chicken was extremely dry. The portion size is very good. I don't like how the place is crowded with men who were consuming alcohol and very rowdy. When you walked in, the men had something to say to women customers.“

“We always order using delivery apps though wanted to come in for the full experience. SO GLAD WE DID. First off, this has to be one of the cleanest restaurants I have ever been in. That made me feel really happy. Now to the food! Came for the Taco Tuesday Special and so happy we did. We came very late in the evening so we missed the jerk chicken tacos though I was not disappointed in the jerk beef tacos. Such a great deal and it was delicious. These were the full size tacos, not the minis. Run don’t walk as I’m sure this deal wont last. We also ordered the fried fish and grits , we paid for extra for more fish and so goad we did. I didn’t expect a carribean place to be my new go to fish spot but here we are! We ordered the collard greens which were a little different than the southern style I’m accustomed to though had a spice to kick it up.

Friendly staff and very welcoming. They offered us samples of their new fresh made sea moss which was delicious and we grabbed more to take home.

Highly recommend visiting here for your next meal! Great price to value ratio on serving sizes and there are always great deals on delivery apps.“

“Before visiting this restaurant, I read the reviews on Google and I never got up to go one day. I was passing by and I decided to go in and check them out first of all if you were looking for like homemade Guyanese fried rice then definitely go there. It’s so yummy. It’s a little on the spice side but very yummy. I also tried the bubble tea and it was amazing for a small restaurant, the white pudding is also very good and fresh. Definitely check them out.“

“If you’re looking for a vegan spot that tastes even more delicious than a non-vegan restaurant then this is it! As someone that eats meat, I’ve visited the restaurant multiple times and the food slaps each and every time - I promise you won’t miss the meat on your plate or in this case your box. It’s delicious, affordable and the service is great too!“

“Great small restaurant for mom style Guyanese food, i.e., if mom was a great cook..“
