At heart, I'm a man that truly enjoy most Caribbean dishes ( oxtails, goat, curry/jerk chicken,…read moreroti, etc ) So, I set out on a quest to give a new Caribbean cuisine restaurant a shot at winning me over. That's when I bumped into Caribbean Dish... The name got me, yes it's basic, but the title was exactly what I was looking for. The restaurant is in a small unassuming parking lot... if you don't know it's there, you probably will miss it ( so glad I didn't !! ) The minute I walked in, I felt authentic family vibes ( something I look for when choosing my Caribbean locations ) The service was very friendly, and they cleared everything up when I wasn't sure if my particular craving could be fulfilled ( the combo I desired wasn't on their daily menu ) My sights were set on the oxtail and curry goat combo ( of course with rice & peas and veggies ! ) And when I say the goat was tender, and seasoned to perfection... while the oxtails had that juicy meatiness that will for sure keep me coming back. The rice & peas were cooked just right ( texture was on point ) and the veggies still had that freshness that brought everything else together. I love my Caribbean dishes saucy and not dry ( they get two thumbs up in that department ! ) Family vibes, cheerful greeting, and amazing food.... Caribbean Dish you just locked yourself in a loyal customer !!!!! Give them a shot and I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed !!!

This is a take out spot, quaint and CLEAN. Credit card orders incur an additional fee. Anyhoo, I had never heard of this place and funny enough have driven by it so many times. I attempted to call beforehand, but orders are not taken on the phone. I believe there is online ordering available via their site and other food delivery services. I got the curry chicken buss up shut with a side of spinach. Huge portion! Curry is delightful, aloo is perfect, spinach, dope. Buss up shut, better than my Aunties, but don't tell her that...eek!

Thank you so much to Quacy for getting my order started and to Ma, who guided me the rest of the way, and answered all my questions. You're the best Ma!

That should have been clearly communicated before the order was placed. For $72 for two pickup dinners, I expected the entire meal to be flavorful and worth the price. The salmon was good, but unfortunately, the cabbage was not seasoned well and lacked flavor. Overall, I was disappointed with the price and the lack of communication about the additional charges. Customers should be informed about upcharges when ordering over the phone so there are no surprises when it's time to pay.

The pickled peppers and onions on top were the perfect addition. Coconut rice paired perfectly as well. Crispy kale: 5/5 great flavor with a little chutney on top. Slight spice but not too much. Large portion as a side, definitely shareable. Friend enjoyed the curried chicken bowl though I did not try it! Bread pudding: 2/5. Not the worst I've ever had. But lacked flavor. Dense. Would not order again. Passion fruit spicy margarita was good. I requested light passion fruit. Just enough spice. Service was friendly! Small restaurant so would make reservations, even though it was not packed for my Friday evening dinner. There is a 20% fair wage fee included on all bills. Which states it is "not" the tip. That's pretty significant

So my threshold for Caribbean food is pretty high, and you would think with the prices of things on their menu it would be a hit. It wasn't. To start, the ambiance was amazing! It was a beautiful space. Beautifully decorated. I loved the pops of emerald across the space. They didn't have a table for 4 available when we went. So we sat at the bar. The hostess did inform us at the time that they were short staffed so the wait time may be a little excessive. We understood and took the seats anyway. We had just missed happy hour, which was a bummer. But the people i was with wanted to order food. So i ordered my 1 and only drink. I tried some of the food that was ordered. I first tried the brisket... uhm... lol. Let's just say it tasted more like roast than brisket. It was very saucey, tender and fatty. But the flavor was missing something. It had a twinge of sweetness on the backhand. It wasn't bad. It just wasn't what i expected. The black rice was also just okay. I love me some Haitian food, but this wasn't that. lol. It was a bit spicy on the backend which i didn't hate. But that was probably my favorite bite of the night. The drinks were good. They were pretty standard to see my bill for my one drink come out to a whopping $30!! And i live in NYC and have NEVER paid that much for a drink... i was shocked and appalled lol. I didn't get anything extra added.. so the sidecar extra charge definitely threw me for a loop, and that's when i realized it was time to go. Would i recommend, uhm... maybe. It's definitely not a must like they claim on socials. It's okay food and drinks. But they can definitely improve. 3/5. See pics below

I ordered their combo platter with the whole lot of their curry entree offerings (oxtail, chicken, shrimp). The platter was definitely enough for a double meal, but I was hungry so it went down quite readily. You'd probably get better value ordering regular platters (based on sides and rice), but the combo was a good way to sample all of them for my solitary self. Food quality is definitely there in spades. The whole thing smelled delicious on the way up my elevator and it was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The pilaf was just perfect to go along with the curries that I could not describe (but trust me, it was good). The plantains and cabbage were solid sides to go with the main course and were cooked to perfection. Now if only they came to my locale more often...
