First time trying Culcha. I called ahead for my order as there's only 2 seats inside so I knew we…read morecouldn't eat there. Ordered 2 oxtail meals, 2 fried chicken meals, a chicken pasta, order of plantains & 2 detox drinks. The chicken pasta was good; it was definitely the best tasting out of what we ordered. The chicken wasn't cut off of the bone as I had expected it to be but, once I pulled everything apart & mixed it all together, it was tasty. The oxtail was just ok, not the flavoring I'm used to but edible. Because the oxtail gravy was poured over the rice (on all dishes), the rice wasn't the best either; cabbage was fine. The fried chicken had no flavor surprisingly & wasn't crispy. I wasn't able to sub the rice for french fries which may have made the meal better. Plantains only included 5 pieces but they tasted fine. Detox drinks tasted as expected. I mentioned I called my order in - it took a total of 44 minutes from the time I placed the call to when the food was ready, just to give an idea of how long it takes to make your food so, don't show up early!

Culcha Caribbean Cuisine 183 Belmont Ave…read more Haledon, NJ 07508 Pina Colada Oxtail Beff Patty Oxtail with Mac and Cheese Jerk Chicken You may be present be in Haledon NJ, but as soon as you explore this Jamaican cuisine you will feel as if you are dining on the island of Jamaica. Owner Ralston, Manager Bianca and the cooks welcomed me into their take out restaurant where I indulged in a variety of homemade dishes. Pina Colada : The frozen, slushy drink with a splash of rum chilled me to the core. It was quite refreshing; and if you are under 21, you can always have a virgin pina colada. Oxtail Beff Patty: This patty was stuffed with both tender oxtail and beef while the flaky, outer crust had a light crunch. Oxtail with Mac and Cheese: Of course, I can never get enough oxtail, which is why I couldn't resist having it as a platter. The macaroni and cheese was loaded with cheddar and quite cheesy. Jerk Chicken: The juicy jerk chicken has the perfect combination of fire and heat. You can never get enough jerk sauce with one of my favorite Jamaican entrees. Feel free to lavishly pour the jerk sauce on the entire plate; and save room for the cabbage. As a bonus, this location also has a Jamaican market where you can purchase freshly made juices, frozen beef patties, and homemade ice cream with unique flavors ranging from coconut to grapenut. As another bonus, there is a fancy dining area with a bar and lounge. Feel free to show up for date night or the room can be rented out as an event space for parties, anniversaries or other memorable events. I had a truly great experience exploring this take out spot. When I next return, I'm spicing it up to explore the fancy dining hall. #Culcha #caribbeancuisine #jamaicanfood #pinacolada #patty #oxtailbeefpatty #jerkchicken #eats #foodreview #localspots #njfoodie #foodstagram

I ordered from el Jumbo Grill today. The food was at most average. I ordered white rice, red beans,…read moreoven baked chicken, arepita de yuca, red potato salad. For dessert I ordered Cake de Piña, guayaba and tres leches. Here is my honest review.... I don't get the hype of this place. This is the second time I order and the food is never above average. I wanted to give it a second try. White rice- lacked softness, and salt. Red beans - watery, had no verdura, seasoning, or sofrito. It didn't taste like Habichuela Guisada and was watered down. Baked Chicken- lacked in flavor, had no seasoning, no oregano no salt. It was bland and lacked in taste. i also would have preferred it be cooked a little longer. Red Potato Salad - This was done greatly, i like how the red onions were diced small, and had the right consistency of mayo. thumbs up on this one! Arepita De Yuca - They are not bad but I have had better. They taste like over used oil, or old oil. However they are not terrible. Cake de Piña - was expecting that typical Dominican Cake with the pineapple inside and outside dominican frosting. Cake de Guayaba - I was expecting a little more. Cake de Dulce De Leche - I was expecting authentic Dominican Cake. Overall, this will be my last time eating from here this Dominican Restaurant is definitely not living up to the standards of Dominican Cuisine and it's over priced. I have had better in Paterson and NY.

Pedí nuevamente hoy para mi mamá, que pidió bacalao con arroz blanco y habichuela guisada. Pedí el sándwich de pernil con un batido de morir soñando. Todo estaba recién hecho y perfectamente empaquetado. La comida todavía estaba caliente y vivo a 20 minutos de distancia. Cuando vas en persona, el ambiente es agradable y profesional. ¡Sigue con el gran trabajo!

They've always come no later than 20 minutes of the time I requested. I love that when you call they have an english and spanish option on their call menu. The staff have always been extremely friendly and helpful. We've ordered the pernil, chicken, arroz moro, white rice, beans, potato salad, and maduros. Everyone that was invited to our events loved the food and asked where it was ordered from. The food tastes amazing. We've also ordered empanadas as well (chicken & beef) and those are also really good. This is now our go-to spot for any catering needs. Their pricing is great and we've had no issues with service and quality of food. I highly recommend if you're seeking authentic Dominican food.
