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.

“I had the Bulgur with spinach (Lalo and blè) at Tati Jo’s, and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly seasoned, fresh, and full of flavor in every bite. The dish tasted homemade but elevated, the kind of food that makes you feel both satisfied and cared for. On top of that, the customer service was outstanding: friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Tati Jo’s is the kind of place where the food and the people make you want to come back again and again.“

“Stopped here on a Sunday night as they were about to close they were pretty much out of everything. Kerry Ann was kind enough to make us some fresh fried fish and chicken topped it off with some extras. Super amazing customer service. Their coconut drops and peanut cake reminded me so much of back home, jamaica. Overall I had a great experience and will definitely stop by if I'm ever in the area.“

“I just tried the oxtail Mac n cheese and it was a hit. Reminded me of my own I make at home that takes hours. I caught the special for $5 which is a steal. Night pepper steak too. Tender with a hint of spice. Added curry chicken gravy on the rice.
I will definitely be back to try the jerk chicken sandwich on cocoa bread with jerk sauce.“

“It was great one-on-one service that I received. The people that are very friendly and the food is fresh and delicious!! Is absolutely worth going there and definitely will be a regular place I'll be going to. Five Star customer service“

“We catered from Trini Bites for a brunch with friends to celebrate our recent wedding. Working with Renee was an absolute pleasure. From start to finish, she was attentive and responsive. We knew we wanted to cater Trini food as my husband is Trini and I felt the stakes were high to make sure everything went well! And Renee delivered on every front.

The food was an absolute smash hit -- no tray was left untouched or unpolished, and we even sent folks home with to-go containers as they loved the food so much. Particular favorites were the stew chicken, the buss up shot, the mini doubles, and the curry chana and potatoes. Renee made sure that our dietary preferences were met, which was no small feat as we had vegetarians, vegans, kosher-observant (no shellfish), and halal-observant (no pork or pork byproducts) in attendance!

If you've ever been curious Trini food or simply want to serve something different for your party or gathering, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend working with Renee and Trini Bites at all.“

“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 :)“

“Food was good, however the birthday girl had to wait longer than everyone else for her food. When her food eventually came out it was cold.
Drinks were okay but not strong enough. Has to ask for an extra shot to take away the sweetness.
Overall, a nice hole in the wall spot. Can’t accommodate a group bigger than six.“

“the jerk chicken is my fav. i have tasted majority of their food and i must say. its one of the best tasting restaurant in queens especially in the merrick area“

“Let me tell you something. Lisa and Pete will make sure you have the absolute birthday. Somehow someway they brought out moves I haven’t pulled out in years. The food! They take their time because it is mouth watering. The drinks…. Well the first time I didn’t remember… but the second and third. Let’s just say it’s a good time all the time.“

“Nice place to party. Cozy.“

“I love this place. Food was great, service was excellent. The patio is gorgeous. Definitely going back.“

“ABSOLUTELY " EVERYTHING , IT'S THAT 👍 GOOD .“

“If I hadn’t peeked over the counter, I might never have realized this was a Jamaican restaurant. Aside from a few small Jamaican flags—which I didn’t immediately spot—the predominantly red signage doesn’t clearly reflect the Jamaican cuisine they offer.

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed my “small” portion of curry chicken with rice and peas, which many other places would probably consider medium-sized. Priced reasonably at $14.39, including a bottle of water, it was great value. The chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, while the rice and peas were expertly prepared, with just the right touch of coconut to bring out the traditional flavors.

The server, Alicia, was both polite and engaging, adding to the overall welcoming atmosphere. I’ll definitely be back next time I’m in the area.

My only suggestion is that they make it more obvious to passersby that this is a Jamaican restaurant—perhaps by adding more green, black, and yellow to their signage.“

“Delicious 😋 definitely will be back“

“My first time experience. Food, Drinks, Music, Service was Epic. I’ll definitely go again. Love love it 👍🏾👍🏾“

“Certainly a must place to be. Great customer service. Comfortable vibe“

“This is the best tasting West Indian food in N.Y. ! Guyanese style Chinese food , best on Jamaica Ave and probably Queens! The food took less then 10 min to come and the staff had no attitude!“

“The DJ plays music of every time period.“

“Great food and staff with service Check it out everyone“

“The atmosphere was a chill vibe. We were warmly greeted and taken to our table. Since the place was not parked we were even invited to choose where we would like to seat. The service from Tanya the waitress, Joesph from the bar and the chef was unmatched. The bar tender was very accommodating and very creative in mixing drinks that were not on the menu. Tanya read the mood and knew just when to ask it we needed another drink, clear the table, adjusted the temperature, bring takeaway dishes. By the end of the night I wanted to take her home with me. The music was great and not too loud so we didn’t have to shout at each other to try to have a conversation. As other guests filed in one could get a sense of familiarity and comfort. A good review for a place like this is returning customers. Nothing puts a stamp like a willingness to return. The all our food choices were amazing. The only constructive criticism is that some of the plantain were stuck together when fried and was undercooked where they were stuck. No big deal-it could happen to the best of cooks. The BBQ wing and sweet chillie wings were delish ( wings are my favorite). The Sandz plater is a good choice for appetizers since it is a variety on one plate. The shrimp Alfredo with jerk shrimp was a palate delight. A little sweet and a little spicy -marrying into one awesome flavor and the pasta was perfectly cooked. One person from our party returned three days later. I plan on returning soon and I definitely recommend checking out this restaurant for dinner or just for a hangout with friends.“
