“A+ customer service, Rich always goes above and beyond to make things right he is beyond awesome! the company needs to utilize him in staff training of all and any employees moving forward, his attention to detail, customer service, and genuine concern for the company's reputation are extremely commendable, he is what Maroon Girl Jamaican Cuisine is truly about. The selections are fantastic but sell out fast most times. Every single meal is cooked with care and compassion. You can't beat the quality or the prices or delivery speed as compared to the competition. Maroon Girl wins hands down! Man those oxtails! delicious!“

“Ordered some corned beef and cabbage to take home. It is SO GOOD!!!! Perfect seasoning and tender. I had never been to Zen and was impressed at the decor and the staff. Really nice experience and looking forward to dining in.“

“Amazing Jamaican Flavors and Outstanding Service!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Empire Jamaica Fusion and I can confidently say it’s one of the best Jamaican food experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, the warm and welcoming atmosphere set the tone for an incredible meal.

The food was absolutely phenomenal — rich, authentic flavours that transported me straight to Jamaica. The jerk chicken was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of heat, and the oxtail was tender and cooked to perfection, falling off the bone with every bite. I also loved the rice and peas, which had that signature coconut flavor that ties everything together so well.

Beyond the food, the service was top-notch. The Owner was friendly, attentive, and eager to share recommendations, making the experience even more enjoyable.

If you’re craving authentic Jamaican cuisine made with love and care, Empire Jamaica Fusion is the place to go. I can’t wait to return and try more of their delicious dishes!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Highly recommend!“

It doesn’t matter what I order I’m always satisfied! Feels as if this Jamaican family really cooks their food with love. I always feel welcomed and it’s beautiful when you walk in a restaurant and is greeted with a warm , friendly smile , bc honestly you don’t get that everywhere .

“Awesome Jamaican food, can't go wrong.“

“Steam fish meal is the best and carrot juice“

“I love this place, at first my friends and I would come from Poughkeepsie just to get a plate, now that I go to the local college I come here every chance I get. The food is amazing, fresh, and not to be corny but you can tell it’s made with love. Loved by me and my kitty“

“I enjoyed the very hearty flavor of the dry rub of this jerk chicken. A splash of lightly sweet jerk sauce might've been nice, but I'd forgotten to ask. It was a little too hearty to pair w/ mac & cheese, but I regret nothing. Fifteen bucks for two (or more) meals!“

“The j*** chicken is simply the best chicken I’ve ever tasted. Just perfect enough smoke. Don’t expect fancy decor, this place is all about the food.“

“Nice little spot and the food is delicious 😋“

“Oh what a lovely experience! There are little gifts for the Who-fandom scattered throughout the space, which is so welcoming and airy. I spent ages just looking around and fangirling! The person who took our orders was so sweet and so knowledgeable and we loved everything we ordered. They have vegan, vegetarian and GF options so it’s really inclusive. The teas are delicious - we had the Jammy Dodger and it was just perfection. Such a special experience! I can’t wait to go back!“

“I enjoyed this small order of jerk chicken & ginger lemonade. My only gripe is that it was overly sauced w/ sweet commercially available jerk sauce. The meat was a bit tough as well; perhaps slightly undercooked? I'm still glad I stopped by here after years of walking, driving, & taking the bus past this bright blue building.“

“The oxtail are the bomb and personally they taste better with white rice. The plantains are always on point, the cabbage is crunchy yet cooked all the way through. I even tried their sugar dough and it was on point. Even taste good room temp too. Phenomenal ?

Parking: As long as you’re there to order and pick up, you don’t have to worry about parking. Now it’s up to you if you decided to get your food and then walk elsewhere.“

“I love Jamaican good. There are a few spots here in Poughkeepsie NY. Sylvia's is one of the best Jamaican restaurants in NY. I ordered oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage today with a beef patty nd cheese on cocoa bread. There cocoa bread and patties are so fresh they never disappoint. There oxtails... fall off the bone literally, always fresh and delicious. There customer service and atmosphere always welcoming, great place to visit if you are in the area.“

“I am always please with the food you definitely get your moneys worth and the food is delicious and also the customers service is excellent.“
