I been here too many times to count, I been here with friends, family, and co workers and they all love the food here! I only seen the owner here a couple of times but he has a gold mine with this place right here! 10 out of 10 times the food and service has been on point! But today was a different story, I ordered jerk chicken with rice and peas, extra jerk sauce on the chicken and oxtail gravy on the rice and peas, FIRST no rice and peas so I had to settle for the white rice, I didn't mind but I requested 3 times heavy oxtail gravy on the rice, plus I always said extra jerk sauce on the chicken! I noticed it once I left and got to work otherwise I would of turned around and went back. This post would of been 5 stars if the older woman who was giving out the food would of been a little nicer! Big up to the owner, cool dude and because of him imma still support his business! Respect brethren read more

Top notch service and food is fantastic. They also have great specials. Thursday thru Saturday $5 meat only is one of them.

Good Jamaican food. Had their rice and peas with oxtails and a patty. It was delicious.

Food was good, they were out of plantains which was disappointing, and the staff was pretty rude on the phone and also in person when we picked up. read more

I stopped into 14 Parish today because I was craving Jamaican food. I ordered ackee and salt fish which came with boiled banana, yellow yam, steamed dumplins and plantain and a curry chicken dinner with rice and peas and vegetables. So far, I've only eaten the ackee dish.....which I couldn't even finish because it came with so much food.....it is one of the best ackee and salt fish meals I have ever eaten. I've been to Jamaica around 17 times, lived with a Jamaican dude who cooked amazingly......and this food was right up there with the best of them. It was my first time, but no way will it be my last. Looking forward to trying the curry chicken.....but I'm stuffed and probably will be for hours. There portions are no joke - and I got the "small". read more

Great food . Had the curry goat . Ate a platter and got another one to go ... awesome food .

Food was good. I thought jerked pork would have more spice into it but it had some mild spice balanced well with rice and vegetable... had Soursop drink add more flavor to the pulled pork. read more

14 Parish Caribbean Kitchen - Stew chicken .. AWESOME.. - Caribbean Near Me - Hackensack, New Jersey

Good food. Decent prices. Don't expect to be in and out though. You'll be waiting at least 5 or so minutes just for a Beef Patty, longer for a meal. Calling in ahead is highly recommend. read more

let me start by saying they not Caribbean dirty (dont wash they hands) attitude over charge for food if u order online. if you go in person prices are cheaper but still expensive but hey what can I say being from Brooklyn then if u dont pay as soon as. u order they already calling for the next person like let me finishing ordering before u take the next person food not even all that good. so idk how the reviews are so high. must be family or something read more

Sooo much food and soooooo good! I have no idea how I never knew about this place until now but I'm so glad I found it. I had the "small" jerk chicken meal which was loaded with chicken and flavor. I wasn't expecting to get so much food, but I didn't want it to end. I can't wait to go back and try more from here. Especially the cocobread that I overheard someone talking about. read more

The food is decent, but it would be nice if it wasn't served cold and with an attitude. I ordered online for pick up and when I arrived I server's back was to me and she's on the phone calling someone a "Pu**yhole" while gospel music is playing in the background on this Sunday morning. Then she turns around to greet me and let me know my order was wrong even though the online system let me order it. Who's fault it that?! We have to do better SMH read more

Amazing food ! Best beef patties in town, little spot with a big flavors. The oxtail , jerk chicken top notch will no disappoint.

Over the years, I've seen a few Jamaican restaurants open at this exact spot. They'd last a little bit, then close. So I was excited to see a new Jamaican restaurant open up here. I usually go to a certain well-known Jamaican restaurant in Hackensack, where the food is decent but the service isn't great. I've driven by 14 Parish a lot, and we finally decided to order this weekend. They say they offer delivery, but when we called their was no one available to delivery. I had to go out anyway, so I went to the restaurant. The place itself small, and is pretty clean, with bright blue-green walls. There are small tables if you wish to eat there. I got to the counter and was greeted by a pleasant, smiling young woman. I placed my order and waited while it was prepared. I ordered the curry goat with rice and peas, and my mother wanted oxtail with rice and peas, and some beef patties. Unfortunately, they didn't have enough curry goat to make a large order, so she charged me as a small. This was very decent of her because she didn't have to tell me that (it was still in large container), so I appreciated her honesty. As for the food, it was VERY good. My small goat was almost a large, and the meat was very flavorful and tender. The rice and peas had a nice flavor to it. My mother said her oxtail and rice and peas were amazing; very flavorful and they gave a lot of food for a small meal (what she ordered). One thing I must say, as a Jamaican, this place is the real deal. They had things on their menu that I've never seen in any other Jamaican restaurant. When my mother called, she said whoever she spoke to had one of the heaviest Jamaican accents she's heard. According to her, he sounded like he just got off the plane. Lol. Oh, I almost forgot....they have lunch specials. I think it ends at 2pm. But there is a sign on the window with all the info. The restaurant is in the 'downtown' section of Anderson Street, which can get crowded but there is parking along side of the restaurant. If I had to give any advice, it would be to call ahead and ask what food is available, so they can check to see if they have enough for your meal. I'm definitely a fan of this place. The food is perfect and the service is great. I really do hope they make it big in Hackensack and beyond. And I'll definitely be back. read more

I order this from UberEats frequently. The food is just incredible. Always fresh and always delicious. This is the best Caribbean food around!! read more

2nd try at this restaurant for carry out. It was much better. The portion was fair and very, very tasty. I will definitely reorder!

Ordered Jerk Chicken and Beef Patty with Coco bread. Only received the chicken. Called in, but had a hard time communicating with them. Chicken was quite dry but the flavor wasn't too bad. They need to put more effort into making sure the orders leave with all items included. read more

food isn't the issue . the customer service is. I went to get food and the lady taking my order charged me damn near 12 dollars extra. Then when I asked for the difference she didn't want to give it to me. unprofessional. read more

So, let's get to the point. This place doesn't look like a Gordan Ramsey restaurant in any shape or form. However, holy moly this place is good. I few days ago I was stressed about stuff at work. All I wanted was some good comfort food. My husband drove me to this little place in Hackensack. My initial thoughts "great another bad mom and pop shop". Low and Behold the socks were knocked off my feet. This place is a diamond in the ruffle. I was fortunate enough to try their lunch special ox tail my husband got the jerk chicken special (of course I stole some of his to give a try). Let's talk about buttery melting oxtail with all the needed spices. I love the fact that their flavors respected their heritage and they didn't "dull it down for American's". The jerk chicken was crispy and juicy with the powerful slap to your face flavor from the jerk seasons. read more

I havent eatin here in a while and ordered the curried goat and jerk chicken. It was delicious.

I went there 2 days ago because it was recommended by someone who said that the food was very good there. To my surprise I ended up paying $24 dollars for a small oxtail dinner that was unsatisfactory. When I opened my order it was full of bones and hardly any meat. There was not a mix of the small and large pieces it was all tiny pieces that was very tough. Some of the rice was also hard. I've been eating oxtail for many years now and I don't mind spending money if the food is good. This is the 1st time that I've had this particular experience. I gave this restaurant 2 star's because the flavor of the oxtail was good and I also enjoyed the cabbage. Maybe this was just an off day but unfortunately I will not go there again. read more

I think I have found heaven on earth! This is hands down the best Jamaican food I have had in the tri state! I had honestly given up hope that I would find something that tasted like home!! We ordered the jerk chicken and the curry goat! Omg. The jerk chicken was smoky and spicy and they put this delicious sauce on top! The plantains were so ripe and sweet and tender! I am truly amazed about this place! And the people are nice! I swear I can't impress upon you how important it is for you to come here!! read more

Food was average for me and I got the BBQ chicken and the chicken itself was very tough not tender at all taste was okay. I had ox tail sauce on the white rice which was pretty good. Not sure I would go back because tough chicken is not cool for me. Lol read more

The is food pretty decent considering there are limited options for Caribbean food in NJ The customer service is HORRIBLE. They are always rude on the phone and if they can't accommodate a change they will just cancel your order flat out. The food is really not worth the hassle honestly. read more

Honestly, the best Caribbean food in Hackensack. Their oxtail is very tender. They season everything just right!

Are you fucking kidding me? I've lived walking distance to this place for 4 years and just found it? Completely my fault. Large jerk chicken rice and beans. Perfectly spicy, meat falling off the bone, and huge portion. Plantains are dope as well. Super friendly staff. Ordered take out only 5 to 10 minute wait. 3 or 4 tables. Wonder if it's byob? Would be a great spot for a meal and a few beers before jumping the train. I wanna hug whoever cooked my meal. Thank you read more

the (girl) at the front receiving the orders is extremely rude!!!!!took my order and messed up when i returned to explain that the order was wrong was told that i had to get another order of jerked chicken and the one i just bought was not going to be returned....let's understand she heard wrong and was zero concerned with fixing the problem....i would suggest that you never ever go here for no reason at all they will just keep your money and it was her fault‼‼‼‼‼‼‼the worst service ever stay away from an attitude as if you owe them something‼‼‼‼again the worst ever and i mean ever‼‼‼ read more

Favorite Jamaican take out spot hands down. Everything is offered and available at all times of day, everyday of the week. My favorite is the ackee & saltfish with fried dumplings. I also love their soups....best chicken soup ever with a kick, goat head soup, etc. I also love the curry goat with rice & veggies. Oxtail is also good. And don't forget to wash all the spice down with some ginger beer (not an actual beer). My daughter likes the chicken/beef patties. And also serving size is huge and wait time is short. Love this authentic, hole in the wall but definitely a hidden gem. read more
