    a bottle of vita mal classic
    Colin S.

    Wow, bloody wow... We finally made it over to this place from Mt. Pleasant today and it was so worth it. What a treat. We ordered their jerk and curry chicken with rice & peas, cabbage, collards and a beef & chicken pie. This place is legit and even better is the customer service and hospitality. Left the place with a circus in my mouth. Highly recommend. 3 thumbs up and 5 stars from us .

    This was my first time trying Caribbean Delight, and I was blown away. A friend kept raving about the place and treated us to take out from there. My meal consisted of oxtails and gravy, mac and cheese, white rice, and plantains. The oxtails were incredibly tender and flavorful and were perfectly complemented by the rich gravy. The white rice was perfectly cooked. The mac and cheese was creamy and delicious , with just the right amount of cheesiness. The plantains were perfect and added a sweet touch to the savory meal. Overall, Caribbean Delight exceeded my expectations. The portion sizes were generous, and everything tasted authentic and homemade. I will definitely be visiting Carriben Delight in person soon!

    The food is always delicious! You can either call ahead or order at the restaurant, either way the service is always welcoming. Hidden gem in North Charleston.

    Jerk Chicken with Peas and Rice, Cabbage and Plantains. Large lunch Special.
    Nanda R.

    I am glad to finally write a review about this local joint that serves great island food such as Jerk Chicken, curried chicken, curry goat and some seafood options. I love their menu as they have so many options that range in variety but also some of the items are only available on certain days. The service is pretty quick and the only thing I always miss their lunch special ends at 2pm and somehow I am late and miss this great deal. Lunch special 11am to 2pm with a can drink for under $10. I don't mind the price as I get what I want from them. Their patties with chicken, beef or veggies are delicious too. Don't forget to try one.

    Authentic is the word that comes to mind! Just like being in the Caribbean where the locals dine. The restaurant is small as far as seating, however, it appeared that most customers were getting take-out. The service was fast and friendly, and the food was absolutely delicious and plentiful.

    Charleston doesn't have many Caribbean spots so I appreciate one like Caribbean Delight that can prepare one of my favorite dishes of all time: OXTAILS !! It's a small spot on the corner so parking isn't the best but it's worth the search. Make sure you come early to get an order of the Patties and bread before they sell out as well. Also don't forget to grab a bottle of Ting before you go! Truly one of my favs

    We had just finished a Charleston Chewy from Daddy's Girls Bakery, and right across the street (ok, two blocks) was Carribean Delight, just opening, but you could smell the beautiful spices in the late morning air. We went in just to check it out (too early for lunch, and we were headed to a breakfast), but we couldn't resist the oxtail, which is a featured item. So succulent and delicious, not overcooked, and so plentiful!! The greens and rice were good too, but the OxTail!!! What more can I say? By the time we were finished, the line was out the door for the $7 special sized portion! But we were happy with "large," including rice and beans, collards, and plantains...

    Caribbean Delight and Jamaican Grill Ox tail platters before digging.
    David H.

    I decided to get ox tail from Caribbean Delight after a feeling of disappointment at Jamaican grill to do a comparison. Upon arrival through the door I said hello and asked how many ox tail come with their large. They lady told me standard is 5. I ordered the ox tail with cabbage and white rice and they asked me the amount of gravy of my choice. When I got home I took pictures, said my grace and ate them both at the same time until I felt I had eaten enough. I noticed how they were both delicious and similar but not the same. Jamaican grill ox tail uses sugar and spice and almost had me hooked. Their cabbage is sweet and crisp with a hint of vinegar. While Caribbean Delight's cabbage is well seasoned. Jamaican Grill's rice and peas has a slight kick of spice. Caribbean Delights white rice is slightly buttery. Jamaican Grill's plantain is sweet and cooked good, while Caribbean Delights plantain has a nice caramelization going on and is very good. While eating Caribbean Delight I could not taste any spice or sugar in any of the dishes. However, they all tasted honest and tasty. Finally, Caribbean Delight's ox tail is tender and flavorful. All in all, both platters were delicious. Take a look at the pictures from when I started and stopped. I think I dug in the same amount.

    Jerk shrimp, ackee and saltfish, Curried Goat
    Nathanael P.

    This restaurant was my first experience with Caribbean cuisine ! I ordered the ackee and saltfish, jerk seasoned shrimp, and Curried goat. It was a bit more expensive for the portion sizes, but the flavors were nothing like i have ever had before. I enjoyed the food~ Ackee and saltfish was a hearty dish, the shrimp was not too salty, and the Goat was tender and was in a slightly spicy curry sauce. Definitely a place you have to try at least once, since the dishes i tried were all unique and had very distinct aromas. I ordered takeout in the early afternoon. It was not busy, but id imagine it gets fairly busy in the evenings.

    I am IN LOVE with this place! The food is just DELICIOUS. There's a simple counter service concept, and the food took a little while to come out, but it was worth every second. I'm not an expert on Caribbean food, but the flavors were complex and the meats were cooked perfectly - giving me the impression that the food was authentic. And there was a steady stream of business the entire time we were there -made me wish I lived here so I could come here every day.

    I ordered a large plate of oxtail. I barely got any meat. There was a few bones. And a piece of a lot of fat on it. Barely any meat.

    Early Sunday evening and there are very few diners (maybe 5:30pm). I don't know if Pam, our server,…read morecould have been extra present because the restaurant was slow but what a sweet, funny, fully engaged young woman. Made recommendations and they did not fail. The ox tails were scrumptious, the stewed chicken delicious, the rice and peas, cabbage and plantains made my heart happy. Jerk chicken was tender and spicy. Great experience and we will be back. Chatted with a second server outside - whose name I didn't get - and she was delightful. An overall lovely eating experience. Ambience? Meh. But who cares when the food is that good?!?

    Visited while in Charleston area, close to airport, off Sam Rittenburg Blvd…read more This is our second visit, I like that the restaurant is set up as such not just a bar with a few tables. There is dedicated waiting area, partitioned away from dining tables and booths. There is a bar, outdoor seating, seems they have buffet of sorts set up on weekends. My wife is Jamaican so she has high standards w food, it is ok in her opinion. This word ok has many meanings for a Jamaican, can be good, not good, or just blah. For my visit, got jerk burger w fries which is just burger w jerk sauce on side. It was fine, larger than a Whopper size I'd say not chargrilled but cooked fine. We also had order of fried chicken, I did not taste it but appeared overly fried or extra crispy. I don't like extra crispy but others may. I've gotten just patty w coco bread which is what I normally take, but I did like the menu had more variety than just only Jamaican traditional foods. Our waitress was new but served us well. The manager and cook worked to appease any complaints.

I'd definitely recommend both the goat curry and the oxtail. Both were packed with flavor and absolutely worth trying. A must try in North Charleston. I really hope more people support this spot because it deserves the love!

    So as you can tell from my photos this is a place worth going back to on more than one occasion and…read morethen some!! If you dig Jamaican food, then this is one spot you need to put on your must go list for sure! There is always plenty of parking available as it's located in a large strip shopping center. When you walk up to the front door, they post the daily special of the day, which was Chicken Soup. On my last visit I had the Curried Chicken served on Rice and Beans with a side of Mac and Cheese. The chicken was soft an flavorful, the kind you can tell was cooked until it falls off the bone. Add a little sauce from the Chicken and you'll have something that will probably keep on bringing you in for seconds every time. The Mac and Cheese was everything you'd want to be - cheesy, slightly creamy and full of flavor. It was so good - I ate it all before I even got too far down the road. If you go make sure to try their other menu options as there are still a dozen other items I'd like to try and let me know what you think! Guten Appetite! Stephen
