I'm usually hesitant to try Guyanese restaurants from the Bronx as the reviews are never great and one restaurant really just turned me off. But coconut palm bar and grill is surprisingly good. I've only tried the potato balls, polourie and chicken fried rice but overall they were good and I would get the polourie and chicken fried rice over and over again. The potato ball isn't your typical Sybil's potato ball which apart from being made at home is my favorite. But that's just a personal choice. Food was delivery too so that's a plus for me. It may be the time of day I ordered as it was during the week on an afternoon but I would recommend this restaurant being tried as it's not the worst. Would've taken pics also but I started eating then remembered to review lol. So yeah, TLDR: if you're not willing to drive to little Guyana in Queens, give them a try! read more

Coconut Palm is such a gem in the Bronx! Not a lot of Caribbean spots around here, so I was really happy to find this place. The food was delicious, and the vibes were great - loved the indoor and outdoor seating. You can celebrate any occasion here - it's that kind of spot. Super chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and everything came out fresh and flavorful. Definitely coming back to pick up some food! read more

Coconut Palm Bar & Grill - Shrimp Fried Rice - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

The food is so good I had a dream about it. Run don't walk! Try a couple of dishes at a time so you don't break the bank but overall this place is affordable and the food was fresh which is a rarity these days read more

Catered from them several times and the food is always delicious and fresh. Bobby and staff are easy to work with and very accommodating.

The ambiance is difficult to describe at this Guyanese/Chinese mash up of a restaurant. The bar area makes it appear as a.... well as... a dive kinda bar. And when I was there, which happened to be cinco de mayo, there were locals hangin at the bar. Friendly People, but still friends of the bar owner. Service was okay. The food was very good. However, after ordering the oxtail dish with rice and beans, the oxtails were few and far between. And I paid what I would consider a higher price than I usually do for oxtails. So in conclusion, kinda pricey and portion was too small. Food is good if you have some deep pockets. read more

Very taste curry, prices could be a little cheaper though. Spent 25$ for a curry goat with roti. Small sized portion but the taste is very good I must say. Please lower your prices a bit and I will come everyday!!! read more

The food is delicious and always fresh. The staff is friendly and they have good music and a pool table.

First time ordering from Coconut Palm Bar. The black pudding is good, tasted fresh & well made. Bobby special chicken was..different. It had a nice flavor & crunch to it. It would've been nice if they added a sauce to go with it as it a bit dry to eat by itself. read more

food is absolutely great I would definitely recommend this to everyone my first time having it I was like wow I still eat it to this day.

Food was amazing. I certainly would recommend this place. The service was above and beyond. It was worth the drive. Chicken friend rice

I was extremely disappointed in this restaurant. I wanted soup from a caribbean based place, so I ordered chicken soup. If you're West Indian, you know what chicken soup is supposed to look like. When I got home and opened my food the soup looked like that from the chinese restaurant (like wonton soup). I was in disbelief. Then, I remembered while I was waiting and was wondering what was taking so long the server went to the kitchen of the restaurant for about 5 minutes and I recalled an Asian woman running in the restaurant to the kitchen area herself, which was so odd to me. Im now inferring that they ordered the soup from the Chinese restaurant and served it to me. I was so mad and just threw the entire soup in the garbage. Waste of time and money. In addition, I ordered Jerk Chicken Lo Mein. It was just chicken with a store bought jerk sauce. Its not authetic to the West Indian cuisine in which this place markets itself as. This is why I stick to what I know and rarely try new things, but I had to write this review. Dont waste your time. I highly DO NOT recommend. read more

If I could give this 0 stars I would, yesterday I bought food here and I usually don't but I heard they had good fry rice from this unspecified "fry rice king " this fry rice was so nasty and stale. How dare they sell stale food to their customers. My father said "where did u even buy this food?" When I heard that I knew the food was garbage when I got home. The food was also cold and I had to reheat it when I got home. my mom even said "them na ready yet" because the reality of It, they suck and I will NEVER be buying back food from here. Shame on you and your a disgrace to the Guyanese community for the crap u sell here. They should shut u guys down for good read more

Worst Guyanese spot I've ever been too smh it almost made be throw up these dogs would sell you anything just for a lil coins they don't have no shame.. I ordered pepper pot instead of telling me they don't have it the man we in the kitchen and bring me a blow of boiled beef and a hard ass cow foot no cassareep no flavor it's was like they was at the first stage of cooking pepper pot they don't care for customers they could have easily said they don't have it he charged me $15 for water and boiled beef fat and oil in the blow and everything smh a bunch of drunks running this place don't eat from these people this would be my first and last time ever going here they making Guyanese people look real bad I wish I checked that food before leaving this dam place read more

Found this gem when they opened in early 2000 and the food is just Delicious! Slow service but worth the wait!

Coconut Palm Bar & Grill - This is roti I did not order this I wanted Dahl Puri Two times and got the exact same order wrong Where is the chick peas - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

Food is great. The oxtail stew, rice and peas are flavorful. The oxtail pieces are large, tender and juicy, and trimmed of fat well. Their dumplings are also a favorite of mine. They always play old school Indian music which is very reminiscent for Desis/South Asians. I do dislike the male staff and the men that often hang out here. I'm sure they are all friends. They hog the pool table, and on a number of incidents have approach my table of all women to verbally harass us (sexually). At one event they stole beer from our beer bucket and staff asked us to leave for because we got loud. Through out COVID 19, I have been ordering from here because we love local small businesses, and they have the best oxtail stew in the neighborhood. But their staff need to check themselves. I did have good experience with the women staff members and have appreciated them. read more

I would of gave this place a 5 usually. But last night I ordered their shrimp fried rice, and the shrimp were literally hard and dry, as if they didn't cook it together with the rice so I was very disappointed. Usually that's one of my favorite meals from them but last night I gotta say, it wasn't good. I was also very embarrassed because I had company. I wanted them to try the food and they said the same thing. I also ordered the fried chicken that was good.. but again how were the strimps dry and hard.. I have ordered plenty of times from this place and that's never happened... read more

I really enjoy this place. Not quite the Jamaican food I am used to (I believe it's Guyanese cuisine) but it definitely is fresh and well made. They have recently remodeled and it feels a bit leery inside when you pick up orders (now, orders are picked up at the bar area). I work in the area and my coworkers and I love ordering from this spot. I recommend calling your orders in advance for take-out. I wouldn't waste money on their shrimp curry. The 'jumbo' shrimp ($15) were medium, at best and they didn't give enough shrimp or curry to warrant the cost. The regular shrimp curry ($11) uses baby shrimp, maybe even salad shrimp. It tasted good, just cost too much for the amount they serve. That aside, let's get to the positives. The roti is great. You can tell they make it same day. I like the regular roti better than the dhal (chickpea) roti because it's thicker, comparable to naan bread. The fried rice is sooo good. You can tell that they use really fresh ingredients. I think a large vegetable fried rice is around $9 and it is more than enough for two people. The potato balls and polourie are awesome. I just love coming to the Bronx and picking up grub from this spot. Don't forget to ask for their scotch bonnet hot sauce...my mouth is watering just thinking about it :oD read more

loooooooove it !!!!!!! music is great on the weekends food its fucking delicious by the4 way thank u for the free appetizer im spanish i dont know what it was but it was great barter was really nice i loved it my friends loveit no parking but its ok read more

OMG!!!! I am totally in love with this place. My wife and I stoped in after a long time ordering from there and let me say this now... EVERY DISH WAS OUTSTANDING! So flavorful, so fresh just so darn good! We had a beer at the bar while waiting and the beer was nice and cold. The service was pleasurable and the FOOD WAS GREAT.. oh I said that already.. lol We will be back for sure. read more

I love the food here but today I was kinda shocked. I ordered via Uber. Meal arrived on time. Roti dhall puri and potato balls were great. Chicken curry n cookup rice were delicious. Now for the bad part. The chicken curry was made with chicken legs and thighs not the entire chicken. That suvks because I don't like just legs and thighs. The cook up rice had 2 pieces of chicken. Thats unacceptable! Dont be cheap. Buy whole chickens n put some chicken in the chicken cook up rice pls! read more

I called to ask a question about their jerk chicken, specifically how much sugar they use, for dietary reasons. The woman on the phone was extremely stand-offish, rude, and dismissive. She refused to even consider asking the kitchen. read more

Food is excellent!!! Management is professional Price is great and Deliveries is very fast read more

BEST JERK CHICKEN EVER !!!!! My bf is guyanese and for years he has begged me to eat Guyanese food. I dont think I'll ever eat jamaican food again lol. The way the jerk chicken tasted was indescribable. Soft, spicy, and full of flavor. I've never had better chicken from the Caribbean. The fried rice was great ! My bf ordered the mixed fried rice which was pretty amazing! The place itself is more of a bar than a restaurant. There was a lot of guys playing pool, but it was pretty much a "chill" environment. Nobody bothers you. Kudos to the chef. I shall return ! read more

Coconut Palm Bar & Grill - BEST JERK CHICKEN !!! - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

This is suppose to be a Caribbean restaurant specializing in Guyanese and Trinidadian food. Most of the entrees are good however as a Guyanese-American I tend to order roast duck to stay away from the hot spices. The duck is always dry and bony. It's disgraceful. Compared to the other ethnic restaurants around the area, such as Pine, Caridad. Estrellita Poblano, which are highly regarded by the staff at Montefiore Albert Einstein hospital Coconut Palm's food lack's quality and the service is slow. Being in the hospitality business, they fall very short of being hospitable. The restaurant is loud from playing incessantly loud obnoxious music. You can't hear yourself think much less eat!!! Stop selling dried up duck and the side hot sauce doesn't need to be so hot. No one at the hospital ever uses it. read more

Haven't came here in a while but the food was always great. During my younger days I would come and drink with my friends play some pool and dominos in the back but as time changed I didn't come as much as I used to but it's good to know that the food hasn't changed ordered some food for the family and everyone enjoyed it wish I had some food to share but it was gone before I knew it next time I order I will post with I pic I promise... read more

Customer service sucks! Food is good. The staff are very rude to eachother. Seems like a place that only likes serving to their kind

Whenever I'm in the Bronx and need my fix of guys are food this is my number one stop. Since my wife to be lived in the Bronx atm and she loves Guyanese food. This is where we go to indulge. There food and drinks are great!! read more

Great Fresh guyanese traditional good. Their fried rice is fresh and Chicken with good crisp. Curry could be a bit less on the oily side and more on the seasoning. read more

Would give this place 0 stars if I could. BF was there on Friday 06/30/11, left his credit card there by accident. He couldn't get back there until Sunday 07/03/11 to pick it up. He called several times to confirm that they were still in possession of the card and if he could pick up on Sunday. They verified that they were indeed still holding the card. He got there at about 6:30pm Sunday - card was nowhere to be found, and the manager was not on premises nor reachable by cell phone. Checked the card balance online: 2 unauthorized charges for $500 and $61.75, both on 07/03/11, both at local businesses. Lesson learned: Don't go to this place, or pay cash. read more

So on a late friday night after work I decided to stop by the restaurant to grab some good curry and roti and chicken fried rice to go. The food is great, similar to what I used to get at restaurants back home. However even after they have opened the dining section, I would not recomment you bring the family after six on any day of the week. I also recently had lunch with a couple of friends, I must say it was quiet. All conversations next door in the bar can be heard in the dining room in the evenings, there is always a couple of drunk F*** Y** that can be heard through the paper thin wall. Call ahead and place your order it takes approx. 20 minutes to get your food. The food is great I would recommend you get their roti, it is made fresh and the Fried Rice or Chowmein is Delicious, don't forget the hot sauce. The portions are huge, for two people and a bit pricey but worth it. The restauratn was also know as Coconut Cove a couple of years ago. Happy Eating. read more

Coconut Palm Bar & Grill - Bunjal Chicken and fresh roti. ohh the possibilities - Caribbean Near Me - Bronx, New York

A great melting pot of Caribbean culture in the available cuisine, passing and regular trade and also the music playing in this great little venue... A 30 second walk from 'Zerega' train station, on the 6 train famously made known by Jennifer Lopez having her first album named after it. Coconut Palm once know as Coconut cove and still named by the regulars as "the Cove" is a great spot for meeting the local Guyanese in and around the "Castle Hill" area. Known for having a wide selection of liquors and absolutely stunningly beautiful Puerto Rican and Dominican staff serving them to you, it is certainly a bar you'd want to visit. The bar gets a 4 stars, great service and very attentive staff. Attatched to the bar is a great new restaurant opened in 2007, for those who would preffer to eat in an atmosphere more suited for dining, the quality of the food itself, portions and tastiness could easily get 5 stars in a very "grannies kitchen" type, covering Indo carribean and Chinese- Guyanese, you'll sure to find something you like, I'd give the restaurant itself gets again 4 stars... Great for the family. During the day you'll find in the bar area regulars playing pool or "Texas hold em" and by dusk the pool table is moved and a dance floor is opened up, great selection of music for those who can really move their waist and like to dance all night long, the floor attracts people of all ages above 21. There is no official closing time to the venue it just closes when the manager decides it's time to "retire for the day". Coconut palm has a wide appeal from the food to the music a simple drink after work to a night out and dancing whatever you want the are great for all and you'll be sure to enjoy you time. All round 4 stars!! read more

My first experience tasting Guyanese food was here at Coconut Palm and it was amazing. All the flavors it was like a party in my mouth funny :) I know. So I think my favorite is the beans and rice and since I'm Hispanic I know a thing or two about that and it was great with all the seasoning man it was good. Of course Curry with Roti delicious. They have a breakfast dish called Saltfish and bake also one of my favorites. I love that you can sit in the restaurant to dine then head right next door for a cognac on the rocks or a nice cocktail it's affordable and yet your sure to leave there full and If your looking for it a nice buzz ; ) Enjoy I sure did. read more

I stop by this establishment when I am in the area. The chicken fried rice was somewhat good. The chicken was a little dried out though. The shrimp Lo Mein was tasty. The place was empty when I visited, only one other patron. I was in and out in about 15 minutes. read more

Wish they had cocktails, mostly beers and whatever bottles are on display. Their oxtail with rice and beans is so delicious though. Also they give the spiciest bottle of hot sauce that is I believe their homemade recipe. That thing is amazing, I think you can even purchase a small bottle from them as well. They play cool music from time to time ranging from Hindi to Jamaican music. Hip hop and mainstream music is played as well. On slow days some game shows or what not are played. they have a big pool table for fun. Would recommend going with a group to chill and relax. read more

First off the five stars is for the food only. The food is outrageously good. Their bunjal duck with dal and rice is LEGENDARY!!! Their dal pouri is amongst the best. This Guyanese kitchen produces pure gastronomic bliss! This is the stuff olé granny used to make back in Leguan! However folks this place is a bar. It's often populated with the usual rummy bar flies. If you're a woman go there with other people to avoid lecherous advances and problems by the hopelessly inebriated. The young eye candy that work the bar crowd are reliably stupid. They're sure to mess up your order so make sure you double check every single item before you leave. When a screw up happens the owner usually makes it right if he can remembered your issue. read more
