Caribbean Restaurants near Collingdale

“Order through uber eats and I must say, I’m impressed. The food is delicious, I asked for brown stew gravy on my rice & it doesn’t have a lot of flavor but the cabbage and chicken makes up for it. I do wish more chicken was provided, but overall it was really good.“

“The server was Great and personable. The wings in Flambo sauce were tasty and especially nice appetizer. Beef curry was tender and well prepared.“

“When I tell you this food is so good. I had the oxtail platter. I have never taste anything like that before. Now I had oxtails before, but these were so tender and seasoned so well. They fell off the bone. So tender. I didn’t even get to pull off. My plan was to take them home and enjoy. I snuck a bite and couldn’t stop. I’m a customer for life. I’m not going anywhere. Y’all are great. This is my first time. I’m sending some more people yall way.“

“This was my second time getting platters and they did not disappoint. The food is delicious! You can’t go wrong with any of the items on the menu. The portion size is amazing. You can absolutely have a medium platter for two meals. The service is excellent. Overall, great experience across the board.“

“Good food and good people 👍🏾“

“Great music, food and atmosphere! Tvs are set in place so you can watch your favorite sport that's playing live!“

“The food has such an authentic taste I love the oxtails they're so meaty and very tender with lots of flavor. Customer service is always superb and the prices aren't too bad. I remember them from before the relaunch and even then it wasn't too bad, ,but now it's even better I hope they continue to serve such delicious food I really do enjoy visiting this spot“

“I DIDNT WANT TO ONE STAR,
However , I have been to this place, all times of the day , all days of the week, when Google says it’s open, never have I met this place open.
Maybe update business to temporarily closed ?
The phone number you also have on Google doesn’t seem to work ?“

“I love Zion's Cuisine. It is a neighborhood gem and I will miss it if/ when I move out. I usually get brown stew chicken, beef stew, or pepper steak. The food is affordable, delicious, and healthy, and a large platter is good for 2-3 big meals (I do use rice from home to stretch it). Zion's is my go-to when I don't have the time or energy to make something decent for myself.No restaurant review is complete without a criticism, so: I wish they made it clear what is available each day. This goes for all Jamaican spots, but it seems like every day there is something they don't have. Knowing what's available with an updated list (instead of an interrogation at the order counter) would also give me the opportunity to try dishes I haven't before, such as their soups and breakfast items.Also, although their cabbage is the best Jamaican cabbage I've ever had, when I get cabbage and greens as sides I wish they would put my greens in the little slot for sides instead of always the cabbage. I end up with enough cabbage for two meals but only one meal worth of greens. Maybe greens are more expensive for them.. I will ask to pay extra for this next time and see what they say.Overall, Zion's is my favorite restaurant in the area and I am already looking forward to the next time I fall woefully behind on my food prep.

“Overall the food is tasty. I have had their Chicken Curry, Stewed Chicken, Rice and Peas, String Beans, Mac n Cheese. Definitely more of a "hole in the wall spot." The space is dark, quiet and not particularly welcoming, but you can order food and you can tell they can cook. It is defintiely better than other spots in the city. Id recommend folks get it "To Go." They have Caribbean drinks to buy too.“

“Omg I’m amazed by the fish here !! It’s the best fish I’ve ever tasted and in the WHOLE city I swear by this place !! They have the most nice and caring customer service as well !! Will always b my go to restaurant!! Customer for life THANK YOU !!“

“Yesterday I got the Oxtails, rice & peas, mac & cheese and steamed cabbage. Every bit of it was delicious!!! the good there never disappoints! Kudos to the chef!!! Irie!!!!“

“Had an incredible experience at Mixto! From the moment we walked in, the service was warm and welcoming. Junior and Angelina were absolutely amazing—super attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish. The food? Spectacular. Every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. Can’t wait to come back!“

“If you’re looking for rich, flavorful Caribbean comfort food with portions that don’t play, Georgiana’s is the spot! I ordered the oxtail platter and the jerk chicken platter, and let me tell you — every single bite was chef’s kiss.

The oxtails were fall-off-the-bone tender, smothered in a thick, savory gravy with just the right hint of spice, resting perfectly on top of fluffy rice and peas. The flavors were deep, hearty, and so satisfying.

The jerk chicken was beautifully charred, juicy on the inside, and coated in a bold, smoky jerk sauce that packed heat and flavor. Paired with creamy, cheesy mac and cheese and perfectly caramelized candied yams, it was a serious plate of happiness.

On top of that, the platters were generous — definitely enough to fill you up and then some. I appreciate a place that gives you your money’s worth without compromising on quality or taste.

Georgiana’s, you’ve got a repeat customer right here! Highly recommend if you love authentic, soulful eats that leave you full and smiling.“

“Yum yum good. They pile it high with flavorful food. Pays to buy it vs trying to make it yourself. Would give 5 stars only negative is little salty but that's because I need low salt diet“

“Great Food and Great Vibes🎵🎵“

“First time ordering here I ordered the large curry chicken with white rice cabbage and two jerk rolls...Portion nice amount of meat no complaints about the platter. Nowwww the jerk rolls my fiancee swallowed his he said it's spicy I was into the second bite I said ohh no I can't do it lol leave that to the spicy eaters lol“

“This place is catering my wedding. No, I don’t have a fiancé. I’m single, but who needs a man when you have mac & cheese like this? I’m marrying the jerk tofu, and the collard greens are my maid of honor.“

“Is a Great place to be, but needs better bartenders, it takes Forever to get a drink!! Other than that is fun to be around!“

“The food is amazing. I ordered a small pepper steak with a side of Mac and cheese and candy yams. I thought my platter was going to be little… it wasn’t! The mac is good, the steak strips were tender, and the yams were cooked perfectly. I paid $14 even. Service was fine! He greeted us as we walked in and was helpful. 5 stars!

“First time at this restaurant...Food was on point definitely be back soon..“

“Just had a party yesterday and decided to go with Hallow Bamboo for the catering. Everything from the ordering process, to the service and especially the food was EXCELLENT! My wife and I will definitely become regulars and will use them for our catering needs in the future, thanks Shelli and Steve!“

“I love this place. If you are ever in philly you must try this Ghanian spot! If you like spicy this is the place. If you like rice get the jollof! My favorite is light soup with fufu. The peanut litter soup is bomb! Matter fact just eat everything. Only come if you have time to enjoy. Service is not typical of most American dinner time standards. Call ahead to ensure they are open that weekend! I wish they delivered via an app. But still worth going for the experience.“

“the ox tails with the beans and rice. yes sir“

“I dined in for an early dinner and ordered the Brown Stew Chicken w Yams & Collard Greens, Fish Soup, and Watermelon Juice. Everything was very tasty! The yams didn’t have much additional flavor though but I didn’t mind because as a side they just absorbed the sauce from the Brown Stew Chicken and got flavored that way. Also they seem to use pretty fresh produce so all the produce had more of its own natural flavor - yams, collard greens, as well as the cabbage and carrots in the Stew, and the okra in the Fish Soup. The flavors in the Fish Soup seemed unique to me and I really enjoyed it. The soup came with a tasty dumpling in it as well (not sure if there is a different name for this dumpling but I will be doing more research on Caribbean cuisines). I also liked that there were not bones in the soup as I often expect bones when ordering most meats from Caribbean restaurants but I’m not a fan of dealing with them. The Brown Stew Chicken while very tasty and flavorful, does have bones in it. Everything was well seasoned and salty, but not to an offensive extent at all - just perfect and as expected. Last but not least, the Watermelon Juice was a very refreshing addition to the meal that was much appreciated after walking in hot weather. It tasted like fresh fruit and was sweet but not too sweet! It was honestly a real necessity at the time, so I’m glad I found this place. I definitely want to come back and try more of their food.

The service was also great! Everyone working there seemed friendly, which is definitely not always the case, and I felt welcome. Someone (the chef?) came out to personally take orders to speed up the line which wasn’t even long, so they seem committed to getting people their food fast (despite “island time” existing in Caribbean cultures). The menu is simple which allows them to have everything ready quickly & at a high quality. The quality of the food is what matters above all, and it seems they understand that. Also be ready with cash as it is Cash Only.

I love the cozy vibe and the old school diner/lunch counter aesthetics, but I felt like the dining room/bar space should be better utilized. I understand this situation isn’t even necessarily their fault as we are in the era of takeout, and they clearly put their money towards making sure the food is good, which is obviously most important. I also understand they are dealing with the fact that their menu isn’t super conducive for the bar/lunch counter setting, and it’s detached from the kitchen, but it has a purpose - it’s where they make and serve the homemade juices. Something as simple as pictures of the main ingredients in the juices could be a low cost way to liven up this area and serve a practical purpose as well. They have big, comfortable tables which some restaurants in the area don’t even offer anymore, so I appreciated that.“

“I stopped in because I found the restaurant on Phillyblackowned.com, a map for black owned businesses in Philly. I'm so happy that I found this business. The owner is very friendly, made me feel welcomed, and the food is delicious. I ordered the lamb with rice, and it was so tasty, I had to share my experience. I'll definitely be back.“

“My First Time trying their Food. I Loved how much Care they had when preparing My Order. I had a small Jerk Chicken Platter with Oxtail Gravy and Two sides Mac and Cheese with Mixed Vegetables. I also had another side of Candied Yams or Sweet Potatoes. Thank You D's Caribbean and American Food. 😇😎👏👏👏👏💖💐“

“Easily the best oxtails I’ve had & you can’t beat the price point. The food is so delicious time and time again. I consistently order on DoorDash and delivery is always fast. The food is fresh and they’ve never let me down. I want to try other options one day, but the oxtails got me hooked.“

“This is prob my 2nd or 3rd review ever and after eating this food I had to come on here and say something. I’ve had Jamaican food in many different places (Atlanta and Cali), but this was without a doubt, probably the best I’ve ever had. The oxtails had a Smokey but traditional flavor that was cooked to perfection, along with the jerk chicken that was not dry at all and had good spice. Well done guys. It’s all I’ll be eating while visiting here. For a hole in the wall with 200 reviews and authentic grandma cooking in the back I give 11/10.“

“If you are looking for a good Island Vibe this is the place to go to . Wide selection of Inland beers and food . No need to go to NYC“

“Today, I had a taste for delicious Jamaican food. I live in NE Philadelphia, but I have no problem jumping in the car and traveling to Wharton Street in South Philly to see Mr. Rich and get his curry chicken, rice and peas, yams and greens. My wife likes the rice and peas, yams and Mac n cheese. It is so worth the time and travel.

The owner is caring and personable also. I'm trying to get him to have a location in the NE. I'm sure it would do well, ya'mon. God bless him“

“The only place that I can get my salmon custom me the way I want it and cook right in front of me people putting bad reviews under here but they just open and hospitality service and availability is there and most of all the taste is impeccable“

“The food here is very good. I’ve never had Jamaican food before so this was a very good introduction to it. I felt the value for the food was good as well. My only issue with it is that if you eat a lot of it at once, the saltiness becomes very overpowering. That being said, the food still tasted good as leftovers the next day. The person working that day was very patient as I had no idea what to order.“

“Great place to eat. Friendly atmosphere and great people“

“I ordered the curry chicken which was on point with flavor. The Yams were also good. I couldn't give it a 5 star rating because the Mac & cheese needs so much work. Someone's Mom need to teach them to make the mac & cheese but I wouldn't hesitate on going back to try different things“

“So yummy! Fast and delicious food with really nice staff! Would definitely buy again!“

“I ordered Oxtail with rice and beans, and Mac and cheese for my little one. Normally I don't eat Mac and cheese but I taste it before giving my little one and the whole platter was superb, very fresh and tasty. I would definitely order there again.“

“Excellent food for the price. There's always a long line of people, which makes it quality food if people keep going back.

Kid-friendliness: My son has milk allergy and I was able to get the Caribbean J*** rice lettuce tomato and the side dish of beans and something else and it was like under $25 and we got Mexican soda and a dessert we shared the Mexican soda but he couldn't have the dessert cuz it wasn't dairy free the whole family was able to share the largest dish so it was enough for the whole family“

“A friend who live in West Philly brought me a oxtail platter with rice & peas & cabbage. The oxtails were tender and flavored well. The whole platter was delicious. Wish I lived nearby.“

“This place is deliiiicious. I’ve only done pick up. Not sure anyone ever actually eats there. It’s encased with plastic, kinda loud from some big fans, hard to hear. But absolutely none of that matters because they have the best jerk chicken you can get in Philly (in my experience so far). I lived in Florida for a while and ate a lot of jerk chicken. And this place does it right. Glad I came in and tried it! The people are nice. I’m a repeat customer. And I have no intention of stopping.“

“I love their curry goat, been eating here for awhile now. Always sending a family to get me something. Never disappointed with the flavors and variety of dish to choose from. Very generous with proportions. Lots of drinks and delicious dessert to choose from.“

“I eat here every week it's delicious only thing it's not open everyday Wednesday through Sunday is good days so if you like good Jamaican food stop by Aunt Annie's a very good cook“
