The first time I experienced this restaurant was by crashing a family n friend soft launch some years ago before they first opened. They didn't scurry us out and gave us a table. It definitely felt like I had been accepted into the food. lol! I remember enjoying the fried snapper and their egg rolls. The next time I went there it was a family brunch. We enjoyed our meal. They had a cute accent wall for photos in the back. My mom and I took a few. The staff were kind and attentive. They don't serve hard liquor. I believe it's wine and beer and wine based cocktails. read more

Bleu Nuk BK - The menu - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Fresh and hearty meals. We stopped here for a early lunch ...I guess we were there just as brunch was finishing. We had the curry crab and dumplings and the oxtail and grits. This is my first time having snow crablegs curried...it was flavorful, spiced with and the grammatical was fresh and sweet. The dumplings were bigger than expected but soaked up all the curry gravy. The oxtail meal was a great combination of carribbean meets southern..the meat fell off the bone and the grits were creamy read more

Something good in the neighborhood!! Passed this place many times and finally decided to try it out thinking I'd just go for apps and drinks. First of all, the waitress was amazing at how she explained the menu and how the food is prepared. As a foodie, I appreciate that because I'm always intrigues as to what ingredients are used in the cooking. The corn soup was recommended as an app and I couldn't even get a pic because it was just so good and flavorful. You could spot all the different herbs used to make the broth. I also had the crab and dumplings and the oxtail and coconut grits. Those grits and oxtail was slamming. The gravy accompanied the grits and gave it a good balance. We had non alcoholic drinks and even those were made well . We had flavored iced teas, passion fruit and mango and the tea tasted fresh. This will definitely become my go to spot since it's close in the neighborhood. read more

Bleu Nuk is a must. The first time I went I just had appetizers of wings and fish cakes. Both were great. The second time I went was for an event and they were so accommodating. They served appetizers for large groups, rum punch, and sorrel. The rum punch definitely was the best I've tasted, especially being someone who doesn't care for rum punch. It certainly had a punch. The sorrel was perfect too. The wings, jerk chicken egg rolls and fish cakes were all perfect. Definitely a great Caribbean owned neighborhood restaurant. Establishment is clean and well kept. read more

Service is lovely and vibes are immaculate. The background music sets the tone for very casual and relaxed and the decor is tasteful. My waitress was super sweet and I felt really welcome here. Didn't need a reservation for brunch, could just walk in. Was in the mood for hot chocolate and the hot cocoa here definitely hit the spot. The presentation was A+ too-- the toasted marshmallow, chocolate sprinkles, and crushed candy canes on top of the whipped cream added a touch of whimsy that was really fun. Got the fried chicken sandwich; I really appreciate that they use dark meat, as it's so much juicier (why anyone prefers white meat is beyond me). The chipotle sauce added a nice smokiness that went well with the sweetness of the honey. As someone who's admittedly a bit of a messy eater, I would've preferred they brought it out on a plate instead of a cutting board (which would be less aesthetic unfortunately but more practical). Fries were seasoned well. Would return in the future, especially to try out their bread pudding (would've liked to try it this time but was wayyy too full afterwards haha). read more

Let me start by saying, the service was A1. Very pleasant staff. It's a cozy environment, perfect for the go to neighborhood spot. There was a large party celebrating and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. Food and drinks were good, just not something I would have again. The oxtail was flavorful, but very fatty. I had it over the loaded fries which were decent. The mimosas were ok, the spicy mango margarita wasn't good in my opinion. My friend enjoyed her shrimp and grits. The Mac n cheese was flavorful but over cooked and dry. Presentation was nice. I do want to go back and try the jerk chicken spring rolls and jalapeño corn bread. Overall a pleasant after birthday brunch. read more

Visited for brunch and was most impressed with the service. The decor was calm and welcoming. Coffee and hot cocoa presentations were both A1. French toast was above average, as well as the shrimp and grits. The steak and eggs were below par for me. Steak was cooked according to ordered temp but sirloin for brunch isn't my cup of tea, I need a more tender cut especially for brunch. No bottomless brunch, and a single mimosa was $13. Aside from the phenomenal waitress, there was no "WOW" factor. read more

This place is a good place, but doesn't really excite or isn't something you can do for yourself at home. The ambiance is ok, kind of basic. The service was good, the wait staff was attentive and nice. The food was alright. It wasn't amazing but wasn't horrible either. Would probably do a delivery here if I didn't feel like cooking, but maybe not come into sit. read more

Who said the party has to stop once brunch ends? I don't who said that, but I do not agree and neither does my girls. So we ended up at Blue Nuk BK after brunch. Again they have been previously but this was my first time. As the first timer, I followed their lead and let the vibes flow. We had drinks and while I do not remember the names (one was definitely a rum punch) they were amazing. The drinks and the ladies serving us was so amazing even you we only stop for drinks we sat so long enjoying the cocktails and atmosphere we decided to get a couple of things to nosh on. Sweet plantains and shrimp tocos. I honestly can't wait to go back. Just A Note: Be prepared to call an Uber because you will get here and forget all of your worries. read more

Firstly I played myself for not coming sooner...smh! Me and friend came for brunch around 1130/12 and sat at the bar. The staff was amazing with good humor and great service. Firstly that damn Jalapeños corn bread with the Jalapeños butter had me in a choke hold for real!!! Omg that was soooo good, next time I'm not sharing! I also had the shrimp and grits with a side of bacon. The shrimp were perfectly done and of course everything was well season. We also shared the jerk pork mac-n-cheese, I was not disappointed. It wasn't grannies Mac but it did what it had to. The star was that jerk pork nutritious and delicious!! The sangria was also tasty and the playlist was on point. I will definitely be back A+ read more

Last night my fiance and I finally made it in to try Blu Nuk-- and soo glad we did! Without reservations, we walked in around 7pm on a Thursday evening and were seated right away. They had the A/C on and the doors open, it was a calm island breeze the entire evening. Our waitress, Dione, was attentive and incredibly pleasant- answering questions and offering suggestions. Our empty plates were removed within seconds and our glasses were never empty-- service was excellent! We ordered a margarita, sangria, the cod fritters, jerk rolls, pork and escovitch fish --- all really good. Nothing needed more seasoning. Coming from Caribbean roots, I find that many Caribbean restaurants have to tailor the food to the general public's taste -- and here was not the case! All flavors were evident in the food. Typically we don't get desert but both the lava cake and bread pudding were excellent too!! We definitely didn't walk out hungry and the whole bill was only $120!! Would recommend and we'll be back! Sorry it took so long to stop in! read more

Celebrated Father's Day with the family at Bleu Nuk BK. I wish I got our waitress name but she was friendly and most importantly honest about the food. When I say honest, we asked about the spice level in the jerk burger. She said some days it can be spicier than others but I promise you won't be disappointed. No lies detected. We had Accra, oxtail dumplings, and tacos for appetizers. As mentioned previously the jerk burger, escovitch fish, pork, and rasta pasta. When I tell you everything was excellent. There were no doggy bags. Oh I forgot to mention the mimosa flight. It came with guava, mango, and sorrel. They were all good but we liked the guava and sorrel the best. This is definitely a great option for a date night. The music was good and it wasn't too loud. Long story short give Bleu Nuk BK a try; you will not be disappointed. read more

I come here often and usually sit at the bar. I usually get the wine and pasta special which they have on Wednesday's and Friday's (I believe). Always delicious. The last time I was here I had the jerk pork (usually not a fan of pork) and it was absolutely delicious. The drinks are always great too. Shout out to the bartender Dione btw. She is truly the best! Warm, welcoming, funny and great at her job. A real gem. It's a great neighborhood spot. read more

This is my review of the blue nuk located on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn. The aesthetics of the restaurant is great for a weekend brunch. The inside is small but spacious with tons of natural lighting. My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon and there was no wait for a table. For drinks, we had margaritas, which tasted amazing considering the restaurant restaurant only uses wine based alcohol. For food, we had the red velvet chicken and waffles, regular chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits. The food was properly proportioned and tasted great. Our waiter was really funny and the bartender Dion even came over and greeted us before we left. Overall I would rate the experience a 9 out of 10. read more

Staying in the area for a week and as I awaited my laundry I strolled by this very welcoming and crowded spot on the corner. Sunday brunch so they seemed a bit overwhelmed but were apologetic for the delay. Best fish and chips I have ever had. A delicious piece of fish with a tasty breading. So good! As I looked around everything looked delicious. I tend to not think much of a coffee at a restaurant but it also was fantastic. Definitely want to return for dinner. Be patient and you will be rewarded with a scrumptious meal. 5 stars for food but the wait knocked off a star. Thank you! read more

The food was delicious and so full of flavor. Service was excellent. Oxtail and grits, chicken and waffles, shrimp and grits were stellar. Crab legs with dumplings, they were out of Crab legs so it was substituted with sautéed shrimp, and the dumplings were undercooked but good flavor. We will definitely be back. read more

The food saved this review. I'm guessing it's a new restaurant and it's going through some of the growing pains. I went with 4 friends during the day. There was only one other table seated at the time. The service was slooooowwwwwwwww. I was starting to think only one person worked there. The drinks were okay. I had the rum punch. It would be nice if the glass were filled. It was served with the punch filled to the middle of the glass (with ice) both times. The curry crab and dumplings were delicious. The saw was everything I needed. I also had the rasta pasta with jerk pork. That was pretty good as well. Everyone else at the table said they loved their meals. It was filling as well. They definitely give you your money's worth on the food. I would stop in again for sure. read more

- beautiful service - friendly staff - the staff really cares about your experience - groovy rnb soundtrack - different aperol spritz - i liked sangria, but they used too much ice - steak was good - food is presented like its home cooked i liked that - addition of vegetable to dinner made it a complete meal - good steak - good mashed potatoes they are made from real potatoes - good corn soup - dinner entrees are high teens and low twenties as far as cost read more

Came for a little hangout after work with hubby. This place always looks so cute from the outside so we decided to finally try it. Decor is beautiful and simply, music was smooth jazz so good vibes. The bartender Deon was holding down drinks and service because they happened to be short staff today. She was so sweet, knowledgeable and attentive. Totally loved her warm spirit. For appetizers we had the tacos ( Shrimp and chicken), not really our favorites. We both had the jerk smash burgers with fries. Soooo juicy and delish. Hubby had the Tropical Paradise with a kick which he enjoyed. I opted for a virgin guava drink which was nice and refreshing. This overall was a nice place. read more

this restaurant is partially good. The indian girl at the store called me a spoiled little brat for sitting down. This lady should be fired and i think she is a horrible waitress. The food was nice but she really ruined the environment. read more

Came here for a friend's bday brunch. Caribbean food and good music. Loved the rum punch. Unanimous amongst the group. We ordered corn soup and the salmon burger. No complaints.

Had a lovely time here with a couple of friends. We were in the area and looking for a place to stop by for a drink and Yelp gave this place good reviews. The service was great and the sorrel mimosas were fantastic. We didn't try the food so I can't talk to that but the drinks, service, and chill ambiance were fantastic. I would come back to try the food. Thank you, Bleu Nuk BK! read more

New spot open in the neighborhood. The customer service was friendly (shout out to Dion!) Can't wait to see how they evolve their drink and food options over time. The music was throwback R&B which was a nice surprise. Got the jerk pork and stuffed fish option which were filling. The side of sweet plantains were good but think they should have given more pieces for the price (5 pieces for $5...a person can buy 4 whole plantains for $5 at the grocery store). Adjust that by adding a few more pieces to justify the price and we're all good. read more

Excellent food, drinks, and service. I'm definitely returning. Good oldies music. My friend and I had a good time.

I think I just found a new favorite spot in Brooklyn! Walked in on a Saturday evening (around 7:30pm) and the restaurant only had two families seated. By the time we left around 9pm, the whole restaurant was packed. Im sure it would be helpful to make reservations especially on weekends. Food: was delicious! The appetizers we ordered were plantains which were perfect and the jerk chicken egg rolls. I like the concept of the eggrolls but i think it could have used more seasoning and stuffing. I ordered the Ragamuffin pasta (rastapasta) w/ salmon and it was flavorful and seasoned well. Boyfriend ordered grilled salmon and he cleaned off the entire plate. Dessert was bread pudding w/ ice cream and it was delectable. Drinks & Service: were top notch! Our bartender and server, Dionne was so sweet but a badass behind the bar. Her customer service was great! Those drinks were 5/5! Ambiance: spacious, clean, good music & bathrooms were clean as well. Looking forward to coming back for Taco Thursdays! read more

Those came out hot and tasted good. read more

We were there for the Thursday Nite Tacos Specials. There are several Jerk Pork, Shrimp, Chicken but we were there for the Shark Tacos. Yummy! Curry Mussels which the table loved but over cooked & chewy for me. Order was small about 7 mussels per. We then had the Shrimp Mac & cheese. Shrimps are simply placed atop & the overall flavor was bland until we poured the left over mussel sauce over it. Perhaps the flavorful curry sauce made the Mac & cheese seem bland in comparison. Service was challenged but well meaning. I will return. read more

Service here is great and it's a cute quiet spot to dine. Portion size for food and drinks were commendable.

Celebrated my friend's birthday here. Food was great staff were very nice. Ambiance is cool. We will be returning to this hidden gem in Brooklyn read more

I'm hooked on the rum raisin chicken and waffles. They're nostalgic for me, and the boneless chicken is moist and seasoned perfectly to go with the waffles. Add peach marg to make it an extra fun brunch. The bartender is really fantastic and has her own unique style. Dinner faves include jerk wings, jerk spring rolls, and vegan curry chickpeas. Everything is delicious. I have yet to try it all, but am looking forward to it! read more
