24 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Roosevelt

“I've been to several Tropical Jerk locations (Uniondale, Baldwin), and I’d say this Roosevelt spot is the least crowded, which is a big plus. The parking lot does fill up quickly because of other places on the strip, so keep that in mind when you head over.

A heads-up for breakfast lovers: many Jamaican spots, including this one, stop serving breakfast pretty early, so if you're in the mood for ackee and dumplings, make sure you get there early enough!

Speaking of which, I had the ackee and fried dumpling. The ackee was tasty but a bit watery, which knocked it down a bit for me. On the flip side, the fried dumplings were great size, crisp on the outside, soft on the inside, and at the ideal temp.

Pricing is standard for Jamaican spots in the area, so you won't find anything too out of the ordinary there. One thing to note is that they don't take over-the-phone orders, so I recommend calling ahead to check if they have what you're craving before making the trip

Overall, it's a solid spot.“

“The little piece of Jamaica that I needed!“

“A whole vibe!!! From the moment you walk in, you are captivated. The decor, the music and the beautiful staff begin the wonderful experience that's about to occur. The food is exquisite in presentation and taste.i have visited the location in Forest Hills also but the experience in RVC is incomparable. (My daughter works near Forest Hills and frequented the other location but immediately stated she likex RVC just entering the restaurant) Iliana, Chastity, Julie and others, thank you for a great evening. Be back soon and every time I visit NY“

“Very friendly atmosphere. Ordered the fried goat which was tender and flavorful. The Mac n cheese was creamy which is my favorite. The oxtail pattie was flaky with a nice amount of filling. The lambi/conch in sauce was perfectly done. Everything was fresh and made to order...I will definitely be back.“

“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“

“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 👌🏾 😌 ☺️“

“I come here after I get home from the train sometimes. I’ve ordered the curry goat 3x and each time it has been delicious. The cashier is always nice and the music is jamming too. The place itself has places to sit which is very nice too. 5/5“

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.“

“Best tasting Caribbean Food !!!! ?“

“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.“
