My sister, brother, and I were driving down Rockaway Blvd. in Queens when I spotted this Caribbean restaurant called Simply Caribbean. They had an A in the window, and the food pictures looked very good, but they were very deceiving. My sister went inside before me while I sat in the car looking up their reviews on Yelp. They had good reviews for the Paper Bag Chicken Fried Rice. I went inside and saw the food sitting out, and it looked both undercooked and overcooked at the same time. Against my better judgment, we should have just left, but my brother placed his order for salmon. He said it was overcooked, so it was dry. My sister ordered rice and peas, which were way too spicy for her to eat, along with her hockey puck oxtails that were hard as a rock. She took a few bites, couldn't eat it, and threw her food in the garbage. I ordered the Paper Bag Chicken Fried Rice. The server said it's like Chinese-style fried rice, so I thought I was going to get chicken throughout the rice--not what I received. I got four cut-up, dry pieces of chicken sitting on top of a whole brown bag of rice with shredded, dry cabbage on top for decoration. The brown bag rice had good flavor, but the presentation and the dry chicken were not for me. I was like, what kind of food is this? I called them to make a complaint. They transferred me to the cook, and I told him about the experience I was having. He said, "Next time..." I stopped him right in his tracks and said, "I won't be coming back here, but I will alert people to the fact that you, as a cook, don't taste your own food that you're selling." First time and last time coming here. You try to support local businesses, and this is how they support their community. SHAMEFUL.

Was craving Jamaican food and was looking through yelp and google reviews. Decided to give this…read morespot a try and it did not disappoint. The goat curry was flavorful, tender, and not too spicy. Festivals were also great. In addition, the two ladies behind the counter were very nice. Will come back again to try the oxtail!

The young lady was not to nice at all ,maybe she was having a bad day . I asked her for a chicken roti as well ,we don't have any of that. She took about 2 seconds to make my meal . I paid $27 for the meal for my wife . When I got home and opened the meal. My wife was deverstated. The oxtail had nothing but bones, peas and rice no gravy .This was one of the worst dinners I ever bought from any restaurant. She said you spent $27 on this mess,this is unacceptable. And we're are somewhat regular customers. I don't know what happened to this place, but after today I won't be going back there any time soon .Its a disgrace to treat your customers like that when they are spending their money in your establishment.

Seeing the lambi (conch stew) was only available Sunday made this an easy choice. The sauce is more…read morezingy than spicy and the preparation is meticulous for this mollusk with a challenging texture. I ordered on DoorDash, which as of press time requires the comment field for some options. I didn't get the intended bean sauce and have no idea if this was user error, but the accompaniments I did receive were great. There were a couple of plantain slices and a ton of rice; the killer app is a potato salad with beets. The pate appetizer was enticing. I got the chicken-herring combo, massive and a great deal at $6.

The food is not over seasoned. The fried pork is delicious, there's obviously going to be fatty pieces, but we didn't mind, it's pork... fat is flavor.. Just don't eat this every day, it wasn't even greasy.. My first time trying Haitian food and I'm loving it. I enjoy food made this way. Everything was delicious and tasted fresh. All the components in every dish added a nice flavor, like the onions in the fried pork... The potato salad was good too. L ate it all before I could get another bite. They took some time to make everything but it was worth the wait. Seriously really good food here. I don't normally even care for tostones but they fried it so well it wasn't dry at all. Nice and crispy on the edges.

The chicken had its own unique taste that differed from regular stew chicken at local Caribbean spots and the sides paired perfectly. Nothing lacked flavor and blended with the meal the way that it needed to be Service was great; quick pick up and she gave me a lot of food. Ambiance was cool as well; it looked like there was a downstairs area but I just came for pickup.

The location itself is small with no seating, it's strictly takeout. I ordered the stew chicken with rice and beans and cabbage. The cabbage was just okay, the rice and beans were good, and the stew chicken was good as well. I also tried the jerk chicken, which I enjoyed. I'd like to go back and try their breakfast. Overall, it was an okay experience.

It's not fast food. I've even seen the employees dining in. It's good when you can eat your own food. If you're looking for fancy decor and what not it's not that but they appear to be authentically Caribbean.

I originally tried there food when they opened up and it was mind blowing. Considering there are…read morevery few authentic restaurants in Queens. Flamingo comes the closest but still. Like you can't have stew chicken and no red beans like. Or cab and no callaloo. So I have tried a few of their dishes was great. I came back to try there upgraded menu which in clouded their special I opted for the one with lentils. Unfortunately it was a miss. The lentils tasted the exact same as the chicken. The macaroni was so hard and it was not like the original when they opened. You know the long spaghetti. Now they have gone to shell pasta. The rice as was. They did follow instructions to put a few plates and utensils. Yet forgot pepper. Every Trinidadian person knows that a make or break deal. This was through Uber Eats all of my experiences. I will try them just try someonethjng a bit more diverse to see if maybe they have changed chefs or something

Beef like many others though surprised by the more curry biased filling in the chicken which I liked. Oxtail good though could have used a little more seasoning but will order again.

I went and checked it out and looked at their menu. I was debating between the oxtail and goat curry but decided to order the oxtail a large size. Boy it is large enough to feed 2 people. So the plate came with large scoop or the stewed oxtail , rice and beans and stewed vegetables. The oxtail was so tender falling off the bone. It was stewed , simmered for hours with Caribbean spices and so good. The dish usually comes with plantain bananas unfortunately they ran out. Regardless I have enjoyed this hidden gem offering.

Sharon T. & I ended up eating at Quisqueya after the "YEE: Unidos for the Cup USA Watch Party" Event at Sabor Latino last month. People were out in the streets celebrating Ecuador's Soccer Team win vs. Germany. Everyone was partying equally as hard @ Sabor Latino, an Ecuadorian Restaurant. We knew that we needed dinner. Once we left the YEE Event @ Sabor Latino, a group of us walked over & Sharon & I stayed to get Dominican Cuisine. Quisqueya is a casual establishment that has a "Mom & Pop" / neighborhood vibe, w/ wooden chairs & table arrangements for indoor dining. There is also a bar/stool seated area. Staff are friendly & patient as we had questions regarding the menu items. Sharon knew that she wanted Chicken Mofongo. I decided to have Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken w/ Rice). Such Homemade, delicious tasting Arroz Con Pollo! Chunks of chicken w/ flavorful rice! Quisqueya gives nicely-sized dishes, so much so that I requested a to-go container to enjoy the rest the next day for lunch. Sharon really enjoyed her Mofongo & asked for a to-go bag for the rest....All in all, it was good food for a decent price. One can order online via Postmates & Ubereats. Quisqueya is open 7 days a week from 8:30 am - Midnight.

Main dish I had the Pechuga quisqueya this is chicken, great tasting sauce I had it with tostones very good comes w a small side salad, very tasty dressing. Hubby had the Chicharron de pollo , also very good comes with white rice & beans. On the to go I like getting the Yuca empanadas, great meat, good chicken & cheese. Pastelitos are good as well both meat & chicken, they are fried to order & tend to be on the greasy side. Food on the go, Roasted chicken with white rice, salad, beans & tostones good size meal, very good chicken & rice w the beans, good salad & tostones. The latest visit gave the Sancocho a try with white rice, great soup hits the spot on those colder days. Also tried the Pollo al ajillo comes w rice & salad good as well. Small location, decent music playing this place can remind u of any random place in walk into in DR. Good service, decent prices for the amount of food they give u, service has always been good. La comida es muy buena, happy that I rediscovered this place & will for sure continue to visit from time to time.
