    Brown Stew Chicken
    Oi W.

    1st time having Antiguan food. Bernadine is the owner and chef. She was so passionate about cooking you can taste it in her food. Fungee with Salt Fish and Eggplant was so good. I love anything made with corn meal. Grits, Polenta, cornbread Soon as Ben (our waiter) said made it cornmeal I was sold. :D Brown Stew Chicken with Rice and Peas was delicious as well. The Ginger Beer and Ginger Tea are both strong and delicious. Glad we try this restaurant and can't wait to try something else on the menu. Came back with a friend and tried the Buttery Hot Wings; Shrimp & Grits; Spring Rolls and Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious!

    My wife and I were hankering for some good 'ol Southern Comfort Soul Food but what we found at Cafe Metro wasn't good, it was stupendously delicious!! Oh what a great gem this place is; located in Teaneck's Cedar Lane. Ben was our server, a very nice, amiable and polite young man, definitely a keeper. For beverages my wife got a home-brewed Ginger beer, I opted for hot cup of Ginger Tea (it's cold out). She knew right away that her Ginger beer was original and made fresh! My Ginger tea had pure pieces of Ginger. The drinks hit the right spot. For entree she ordered the Fungi, which is corn meal with mixed Okra, it came with Saltfish & Eggplant. Oh boy! What a treat! Her meal was full of flavor and the Saltfish tasted fresh. I ate Brown Stew Chicken, it came with rice & Peas, sweet plantains, & vegetables. Oh so much flavor, this food was superb!! Kudos to Bernadine, she's a master-chef that one notices that she cooks with love. We have found a new and amazing place to eat some Antiguan food!

    Hours and info.

    Affordable. I had a Jamaican ginger beer and curry chicken. Service was prompt and friendly. Looks new and clean.

    Wow. It's hard to believe that I had not hit send on my review of this place. It's an absolute gem and worth all the driving I drive to get here. It's what brings me to this side of town. The stew fish and fungi (coocoo in my country) is like home creole food. Authentic and perfectly executed. Tastes like my grandmudda coocoo and stew fish. This is not a Trini place but this tastes fresh out of Trini kitchen. Huge compliment bc I love my home food. My littles always get the shrimp and grits and chicken and waffles. Both are tasty and well done. Even the fried chicken wings are seasoned and tasty. The pepper sauce is good-- no yucky tabasco here!! I'd wholeheartedly recommend this place. The servers are warm and friendly. Come when you have time or call ahead for your order if you're in a rush. It's a relaxing space and quiet, which I appreciate in a flurry of restaurants that make me regret going outside bc why is everywhere so LOUD ?! (YEP, I'M THAT AGE NOW!) ;) amazing food. Just fantastic.

    Yummy fried catfish, plaintains, and homemade giner beer

    Excellent service!!!! Very friendly vibe. Owner will even come and welcome you personally. Lovely band that starts show at 8 some Fridays. Food: I had the cat fish which was amazingly season and veggie medley sautéed and not over done and lightly coated with butter. Mac and cheese was nice and homemade and so was my ginger beer :)

    Oxtail and Rice/Peas

    First time having Cafe Metro. Ordered takeout and it was alright. Let me state that I am of Caribbean descent and had oxtail and rice peas from many different places and was a bit disappointed. The rice and peas were very bland and I asked for extra gravy and didn't receive it.

    Had takeout from here recently. The food traveled 40 minutes and it was still smackin! Our son is…read morean apprentice dockworker and worked near here for one day. It was his day to provide dinner for the family so he decided to bring food home from Jerk'd. I had a brown stew chicken bowl which came with 3 sides. I chose roasted sweet potatoes, braised kale and collard greens and sweet plantains. Brown stew chicken was savory, lip smacking and finger licking good! Each side cooked to perfection. It may be a while before I eat here again because of the distance, but for one day it satisfied my hunger for Caribbean food.

    Came here on a Friday afternoon, my friend suggested this spot like a month ago and finally made…read moreour way here. I really like jerk chicken so was looking forward to checking this spot out. Once you enter, they have a menu laid on the table near the register. The place is bright with a lot of natural sunlight coming thru the window. Similar to chipotle, you place your order with the person handling your meal before you pay. I ended up getting the jerk chicken bowl which comes with three sides. I ended up getting the collard greens, baked sweet potato and Mac and cheese (Mac and cheese cost extra). Had to wash it down with a bottle of Ting ($2.95). The jerk chicken was really good, and just a heads up the jerk sauce was a pretty spicy. My favorite side was the collard greens. It was a solid meal overall. They have daily specials but I'm coming here for the jerk chicken. I highly recommend this place if you're in the mood for Caribbean food. * Parking on premise but limited * Hand wash station outside bathroom
