“The waitress was amazing and the food, soooooooo good!!!! Nachos were so good and my skirt steak camr out to perfection !! Especially with the sauce !! OoooffffffKid-friendliness: Great environment for kids. They make you feel right at home !“
“This is a great place for seemingly authentic Caribbean cuisine. The atmosphere is great with great natural lighting in the day and a nice lounge atmosphere in the evening. The food is delicious and they have many classics like mofongo and patacón. The biggest problem is the time it takes to receive the food once ordered. Also I'd highly recommend a reservation if dining in.“
“Title: Vibrant Flavors and Atmosphere at Kokomo Caribbean RestaurantRating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Review:**Food:** At Kokomo Caribbean Restaurant, the culinary journey is a mixed bag. While the oxtail scored a moderate 5 out of 10, the red snapper fish and wings impressed with an 8 out of 10 rating each. The standout was the drink—a fruit punch with Ray and Nephew—which kicked it up to a delightful 9 out of 10.**Ambiance/Vibe:** Kokomo's ambiance is a vibrant blend of old and new Jamaican culture music, earning a perfect 10 out of 10 for its inviting atmosphere.**Service:** The service, while generally good, lacked a bit of warmth in the customer service aspect, resulting in a 6 out of 10 rating.**Atmosphere:** Kokomo offers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for capturing memories with friends and family, earning a solid 7 out of 10.**Overall:** With a vibrant atmosphere and flavorsome dishes, Kokomo Caribbean Restaurant delivers a satisfying experience, earning an overall rating of 4 out of 5.“
“100% SOLD ALL. THE. TIME. This is my go-to spot when I want to have something a little special and the price point fits within my budget. No matter the dish, it always hits the spot and I'm always pleased that I'm paying for a dish that isn't outrageous compared to other restaurants in the area that are serving similar items. I also appreciate the service - everyone is friendly ans offers great suggestions. Specials are always worth visiting again and again. GO!!“
“My nonprofit organization had a sports trivia night in their private room on their second floor. It was perfect. Equipment for the DJ already there. A projector with a screen to display the scoreboard. Service was excellent. Food was great. Atmosphere was incredible. Drinks were fantastic. Highly recommend holding events in their private room. I will have more events there.“
“I'm not sure why this location has lower ratings than the Clarendon location because the service here is markedly better! The Clarendon location takes forever to prepare meals but this Flatbush location is both efficient and reliable. I can always count on receiving my Cajun chicken rasta pasta for pick-up or Uber Eats delivery in a timely fashion. I usually get the curry goat or curry chicken roti if I'm not getting Rasta pasta. Most meals have a nice level of spice to it, which I think it nice. However, if you're spicy tolerance is super low, it might be worth it to mention it to the cashier or waiter when you place your order. Although I've never dined in at this location, it looks like it could be cozy. I'll have to try in the future.“
“I just went for my early birthday, well me and my friend experience was good. Our server was very nice and accommodating didn’t show no attitude when I asking questions. The food itself was great just a bit too oily for oxtail and the chicken could use a bit of salt but over all was very nice . The atmosphere was definitely a vibe just my personal preference I would definitely would like a bit more table decor. Otherwise 8.5/10 would come again. Wish they had cheesecake again we got 4 things and our total is 112 (including automatic gratuity and tax)“
“Lips Cafe is our go to spot in District 43! Great place for networking, working from home, and the drinks are second to none. We love Lips! Thank you for being such a key stakeholder our community and partner to Assembly Member Brian Cunningham“
“Patrick’s Place is a nice little date night spot. It’s super small so it can feel cramped BUT the entertainment and service completely make up for the limited space. It definitely more of an intimate setting. I didn’t have the pleasure of trying the food but the drinks were great. The rum punch was authentic and you could taste the Wray and nephew, need I say more? The Jazz players and singer were really good. I would definitely come back and try the food next time. Parking is a little difficult as it’s Harlem and on the main road so just keep that in mind. There is also a $20 pp minimum“
“Went here for dinner midweek. Food was excellent. Great apps including empanadas. The beef one was exceptional. Also had a salmon crudo app which was on special. Many specials at this place. Fish is a specialty I went with halibut which came with an awesome leek based sauce. My friend had a steak and it came with an awesome sauce too. Desert was a banana bread pudding in a sugary sauce again. This place has sauce!! Service nice and friendly quite attentive. Place is big with a nice seating area downstairs as well as a private room highly recommended go check it out.“

“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“
“Bring cash to enjoy this amazing spot.Must try the currant roll. Currant rolls are available after 3PM.If you like coconut, you'll LOVE the coconut roll. It is flaky and came warm.If you like the texture of mochi, and you like almond extract, try the cassava pone.There if usually a line out the door so check before walking in.Line moves quickly and service is very kind.“
“The food was delicious and generous. We came in on a Tuesday afternoon, so it was very mellow and low-key. Our server Stephanie was very friendly and attentive. The music was very catchy and the overall atmosphere was very nice. Will definitely visit again“
“Catered large Trays Mini Cassava balls Salt Fish Cakes with the sauces Tamarind and Mango . Delicious delicious delicious . All our guests could not stop talking about these appetizers. OMG JERK CHICKEN TO DIE FOR - Spicy and tender N JUICY leaves you wanting more. Again all our guests chattering about how delicious the jerk chicken was. MAC N CHEESE for the Vegetarians flavorful cheesy n delicious . My new go to for friends and family gatherings.“
“I had tried going to this location before and was told I needed reservations. I went today, and they had a seat. They took me to the back, through the kitchen, down these metal stairs to an outdoor seating. The outdoor tent was nice. Service was quick. The fried pork with Plantain cups and lobster & crab Rangoon as appetizer and shrimp rasta pasta as entrée was delicious.“
“Great experience, the lady at the counter gave us samples of the pineapple ginger juice which was so good we ended up getting, she also recommended we get the beef patties w the coco bread and wow she was not playin no games. 10/10 hit every spot, will for sure be back.“
“Last night I tried food from Sally's for the first time and it was pretty good. We got take out and the service was really nice.I had the curry chicken which I was hoping to be cooked in a more Caribbean way, but it was still nice, spicy and the chicken portion was very decent which I was pleasantly surprised by. I had a taste of my friend's jerk fish and it was so good, sweet and spicy, but I wouldn't call it jerk. She also let me try the crab Rangoon dumplings and they were my favorite! I wish I had them hot and with the sauce provided, but they were still great.I got the matcha rum cake and there wasn't a hint of rum. I was really disappointed by this, and the size was also pretty shocking and small. At least if there was any taste of rum I would've said ok, the price is for the rum and not the size. But I felt cheated. The cake which was like a mini bundt cake was sweet and good just not for $12.The Caribbean and Asian flare wasn't really pulled off very well for me. It would've been nice if the cultures were better represented and fused in the food, but for me the food across the board leans more Asian inspired like maybe Thai. The food was fine just not what it claimed to be.“
“Expect for there to be a long wait, but trust me...the food is worth ANY wait. Hands down, the best roti around.Vegetarian options: As a vegetarian, the Potatoes and Chana with the Dhal Puri Roti on the side is my go-to order. Add a little Bertie's original pepper sauce and thank me later!“
“I win here October 15 for my birthday. My granddaughters were there madman son, was doing even Magnússon in a wheelchair. He offered him something to drink, even though he couldn’t drink it, but it was nice that they thought about him they took our pictures for us. it was very fast with bringing out the food and I enjoyed. Definitely will come back“
“First time getting food from them. Honestly the first time I ordered(via Doordash) a month ago they ran out of oxtails and cancelled my order. This time I ordered Oxtails, Jerk Chicken Empanadas and Mac & Cheese via Seamless to pickup. They cancelled the jerk and Mac. Pretty disappointing.But besides that the oxtail were meaty and flavorful. The sauce tasted tomatoey which was fine. Rice & Peas were fine as was the cabbage.Id get food again I just need them to either have food advertised or edit their online menus to what they actually have.“
“We came to LaMode to celebrate my brother’s 50th birthday. Shanice was our server and she did amazing considering she was taking care of a party of 30. Very friendly despite some of us being unreasonable. Would come back if she’s my server.“
“Amazing! They were out of the jerk chicken empanadas when I ordered online late in the day, so the super nice owner gave me two salmon ones after calling to inform me and asking about substitutes. I got the sweet chili hot wings and they were so good! Made to order and super fresh and flavorful. The mac and cheese was also great.“
“I love their food! Tasty, clean and fresh. The portions are good too.Services is great and friendly. It’s small but quaint. It’s ran by a sweet family.. I definitely recommend them!Vegetarian options: They have rice n peas, cabbage plantains, delicious“
“Kingston Bakery has been my spot for beef patties since they’ve opened and I’m never disappointed. It wasn’t until I tried the actual entrees that I was completely hooked. The oxtails are so good and the stewed chicken is absolutely bussin!! If you haven’t stopped by now I’d the time and the portions are great too.“
“I’ve revisited this restaurant after 15-20 years.Service was excellent, special thanks to Seeta & Rebecca. Seeta took our order & was very particular to go over all special requests & she delivered just that. Awesome job.Would have been nice if they had chopsticks. ?Can’t wait to go back for the pepper shrimp & BBQ Pork.“
“Fantastic food with very great price. I was so impressed by the oxtail I had. It was so big volume with absolutely great stewed oxtail. my girlfriend usually can not eat too much, but she finished her super full box of food. People in the store was sooo sweet, give us so many instructions for food with smiling. Hope everyone can come to try this fantastic Jamaican food“
“I did take out so I can't talk on the ambiance but as far as service goes they have excellent service and great timing. The curry goat is okay it wasn't spicy enough but the meat was seasoned and cooked thoroughly. It's definitely a look if you like medium hot curry.“
“Great Culinary experience my friends and I stopped by randomly because we were in the area. To be honest we were pleasantly surprised the drinks were tasty and sturdy shoutout to Owen the bartender. The food came out in great time and was tasty. I would recommend the honey garlic wings, Doubles and curry snapper. But what made our visit Great was that the Chef / owner Calvin came out and had a conversation with us and made us feel at home.10 out of 10“
“Best doubles and aloo pie I’ve had in New York. Very fast and friendly staff… restaurant is very neat and clean and the owner Mike is very friendly and accommodating…. Definitely worth trying I drive 30 minutes especially to come to this spot and suprisingly was very cheap for 2 doubles and aloo pie with channa and a mango juice was around 10 bucks. Definitely will be my goto spot for budget friendly snack…. Thanks for the great service…Vegetarian options: Big variety of vegetarian dishesKid-friendliness: I didn’t see or bring kids with me but definitely family friendly“
“Decided to go here to get a 10" black cake to celebrate a company party. The customer service was great, and the cake was delicious and finished earlier than i expected! It was moist and fresh with jolts of rum. Would order again from here in the future!“
“All the foods are very delicious. They can brush up on the curry chicken and shrimp because I feel like the amount u get with the dinner should be a little more. Other than that everything else is top notch. Best place to get Caribbean food in Brooklyn!“
“I haven’t had better soul food in all of NYC. It took me a while of living nearby before going in to try it out, because the front isn’t overly flashy. But the owner pulled me over to say hi one time, and the rest is history. You can tell that the staff is like family; not in the toxic way, but in a way where everyone who comes in leaves feeling like a neighbor. I love their rotation of local black/women art, not to mention their schedule for incredible live music. This restaurant has played a huge role in making me feel at home in Brooklyn over the last 5 years, and I know I’m one of many people who feel the same. You can’t go wrong on their menu, so if a great restaurant atmosphere isn’t for you, at least try the food. You won’t regret it.“
“First coming here date night with my boy friend and actually I am having dinner right now everything is so good ! I ordered the salt fish fritters oh my god !!!! Small black own business I really really enjoyed the vibe the food the drinks - drank one drink spicy mango margarita and I’m lit !!! Please come support them you won’t disappoint they takeThere time making food but it’s worth it !!“
“My mouth is watering right now, thinking about the food I ate for the first time yesterday from this establishment. Fresh, tasty, spicy, yummy, delicious food. I can go on about how good this food was. I had the fish sandwich, my husband had the pork and chicken, and I also had the passion juice and soup. Everything tastes so good. I can't wait to go back. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the food was freshly prepared when ordered. 5star“
“I live across from this restaurant, I saw it since they opened it, I never tried it because I thought it was just seafood but they don't, have BBQ wings, french fries and a delicious macaroni and cheese. ? I recommend it, they cook delicious, they have a new client, my girls and me loved everything and I plan to try other dishes they have that look very delicious, I wanted to try the tail, but it is spicy,I don't really like spicy things, just a few things, if they made a few for people who don't like spicy things I would definitely be the first to buy, I hope you consider it, thank you ?“
“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!“
“I had the best stew peas I have ever had in my life! I have to go back and get my mom some.I had the pepper shrimp, it was extremely hot and flavorful. I had to immediately pull out my asthma pump. My chest was already tight, but as soon as I tasted the shrimp my chest closed up. I thought I was going to have to call the ambulance. It was scary!!!I will not put this on the restaurant. I have been eating seafood for 50 years and think I have recently developed a seafood allergy.“
“I got the jerk chicken empanada and a breakfast bagel with hash browns, egg and cheese. Everything was solid - they did not skimp on the quantity and the flavors were amazing. Definitely ordering again and looking forward to trying their sandwiches!“
“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.

“Tii hi is place is amazing …. Southern food delight ../. So lively and all the employees are happy and total LIVE upbeat vibe ….. I sat at the bar and sooo good. Dinner was fried chicken mashed potato’s Mac and cheese and I couldn’t finish it“
“I stumbled across this restaurant when I attended a conference across the street at Medgar Evers College. The food was delicious. Very affordable too. Excellent service. Very friendly staff. A very relaxing environment. I will definitely visit again.“
“Absolutely amazing place ! We meant to quickly a stop there for one cocktail but the atmosphere, the staff (K!) and the quality of the drinks were so amazing that we ended up expending hours and hours in there!! The drinks are FANTASTIC, and the the vibe going on with the regulars is just so warm and welcoming … absolutely loved this place ! We were very glad we cancelled all our plans to just enjoy being in this place … absolutely AMAZING!!“
“My go-to spot for a jerk chicken patty! Authentic flavor but it is not spicy. It costs around $3 but it is packed with flavor and meat so you get your money's worth. It is better to go earlier because they do sell out of some of the patties like the jerk chicken and veggie. I went around 11:50am on a Monday and there was no line. This place typically has a line so if you are looking for a good time to go, I suggest Monday during the early afternoon. I will definitely be back because I am always curious about the food. They have roti and other traditional Caribbean dishes like oxtails and stew chicken.Vegetarian options: Veggie Patties“
“It’s always the authentic eateries that strike a chord with me! Absolutely INCREDIBLE goat curry with buss up shut (roti) the goat was so tender and falling off the bone, the curry sauce was absolute perfection and great for dipping the roti in. The pumpkin and potato came separately to the curry which I think is genius to not mix up the flavours. The roti was cooked and torn up to perfection. Really authentic and you could tell the chef has made this for years and perfected the recipe.I will be thinking about this dish for days to come.lady who served me was an absolute angel as well, had a million things to do at once and all by herself but was attentive with great customer service skills, place was clean, good atmosphere and vibe with music playing and a bar in the middle with decent seating options for diners. 10/10 will be back“
“Recently tried some jerk chicken from here. It was so flavorful and full of spice! The workers were very pleasant and also gave me a sample dish of some other food they serve to try out which was their chicken chow mein, oxtail, cook up rice and fried chicken. Everything was Amazing!!! I definitely recommend here!“
“Pleasantly surprised at the atmosphere in this location, definitely spacious as it was a random stop for us to check out.We were seated right away and just took a lil time to order as my sister was debating what she wanted. Once it started getting more packed, service did become a bit slower as we were ready to order.I loved my meal and drink, it does have a kick to it. The tempura Fish cakes reminds of bacalaitos, just a bit different with tempura. Would def try the other menu items here.“
“Service via Everytime I visit Queens, I make it a point to visit Singh's to get some good, authentic Trini food. From what I recall, pre-Covid Singh's was a lively restaurant where soca played through the speakers, a variety of Islanders would be liming and enjoying the vibes, and there was trini food and snacks galore. From Trini Chinese fried chicken, to doubles, to pone, chubby, shandy, and everything else that you'd want to enjoy. Since my first visit, I've remained loyal to Singh's.My last visit this past weekend, I didn't have the time to get over to their location, so instead I ordered on UberEats, grimacing at the $6.99 delivery fee. I placed my order at 6:30 a.m., since they open at 6 a.m. and received my order within an hour, delivered by a very polite young man. The food was packed very well - there was no spillage which I was expecting from the curry.I ordered pholourie (which came with TWO tasty tamarind sauces), 2 doubles, and one boneless chicken dhal puri roti. Everything tasted just like I remembered it to be. I packed some to take back with me to COS to extend the pleasure of the meal. Still, there was minimal spillage of the curry throughout my flights, so that was a huge win.Singh's thank you for your authentic Trini cuisine. I look forward to visiting your establishment when I next return.“
“I’ve been looking for a good Caribbean food spot near NYC, and I think this may be my new go-to spot. Best food I’ve had in a while, jerk chicken was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Everything I ordered was amazing. I would eat here everyday if I could! Lol. 10/10 would recommend.“
“My wife was in the mood for some jerk chicken and decided to give this place a try and since are in the vicinity. Now we ordered jerk chicken with one side (picked the homemade rice and beans) to go for $22. While I was in the mood for boned chicken, they only serve boneless but at least it was thighs...so that's good. Let me tell you, the jerk chicken pack quite some heat...which was fine. The chicken was tender and it didn't taste as if it was reheated from a microwave. While it was not the best jerk chicken we ever had, it definitely has its own spin to it. The rice and beans were stellar and complimented this dish. All in all, we kinda expected something mediocre but glad to see that it exceeded our expectation. Based on today's visit, I would give it a 4 stars.“
