We had the entire place to ourselves and I would absolutely come back. Chef and servers were friendly. Food was soooo delicious. It was made to order so it came out hott and I loved every bite. Music was on point and they even had a section with games like uno, jenga and some others. There's so much on the menu to try! The oxtail and fried chicken were soo good, I'm willing to try it all

Oxtail & Rice and Peas

Finally stopped by this restaurant I been seeing it for almost 2 years. We went around 6 on a Sunday it wasn't busy at all. They were very friendly & welcoming. We ordered jerk chicken & oxtails. Both meals were really good. And we had enough for lunch the next day. We got peach margaritas & passion fruit margaritas. It was supposed to be frozen but it wasn't the typical frozen we are used to but they were okay. I would recommend you try them out.

Jerk Chicken ( Medium )

We ended up waiting nearly an hour for our food. Unfortunately, the food quality was just as disappointing as the service. The peas and rice were dry and had a strange taste. The sweet plantains were dry and not sweet at all. The worst part was the jerk chicken--it appeared undercooked, with red pieces inside, and it was chewy and bland. I even posted a picture. The customer service was poor, the wait time was excessive, and the food was unacceptable. I would not recommend this place based on my experience.

Ox Oxtail

An Incredible Experience at Cookerz Blend! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a man whose warmth and hospitality were truly A1. He made us feel right at home! We started by asking for drink recommendations, and he was honest, detailed, and spot-on with his suggestions. I went with the Kulture Klash, and it did not disappoint, a bold ginger-forward drink with just the right touch of pineapple. (Fair warning for those not too big on ginger, it's got a kick!) For lunch, I ordered the oxtail and my partner had the jerk chicken, both were absolutely packed with flavor but perfectly balanced. Each dish came with rice and peas, steamed veggies, and sweet plantains. The ox tail was fall off the bone soft and tender. The jerk chicken wasn't too spicy, had just enough kick that made it enjoyable to eat. The sauces... the flavor... everything was amazing. Between the food, the vibes, and the exceptional hospitality, Cookerz Blend easily earns five stars from us. Highly recommended, and we'll definitely be visiting again!

Mac and Cheese

We visited Cookerz Blend today and had a wonderful experience. Mo, our server (and the owner), went above and beyond to take care of us while also managing the bar and the kitchen. His drinks were fantastic, and the food was 100%! Since he was the only one working, service was a bit slow, but we didn't mind at all--the wait was absolutely worth it. The mac and cheese is a must-try, and the jerk chicken with rice and peas was delicious. We'll definitely be back soon!

Cookerz Blend....10/10. My boyfriend was in charge of finding us a place and listen. We knew it'd be amazing. The owner and chef was the nicest ever. We both ordered a rum punch and were blown away. I have to say best one I've ever had. The festival and Mac and cheese- WOW! And the main event. The jerk chicken? Amazing. Please check them out. We have found a new spot.

Fried Chicken was nice

The food was incredible all my family members loved it. The ambiance of the restaurant was relaxing and cozy. The waiter were so nice wait too hear what my brother had to say. This experience was amazing can't wait to come back

Curry goat - yummy in my tummy

Came here after seeing great reviews on social media on a random Thursday with a friend. I was a little hesitant because it was empty inside, but the owners were so welcoming that we decided to stay. We were not disappointed! The food was simply delicious. Felt like it was cooked to order with fresh ingredients as if I were in some Auntie's Caribbean island kitchen. The drinks were unique and strong. I will definitely go back but this time on the weekend to see what the ambience is like.

Jerk Chicken  Fried Sweet Plantains

This meal was so good. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly charred with a delicious smoky glaze. The fried plantains were soft, sweet, and golden -- the perfect balance to the savory chicken. Everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. I'd definitely get this again.

Came here since I wanted jamaican food at a place that has a nice interior as I was the mood to eat in. After sifting through some options I gradually came upon this place since the reviews were generous and the pictures looked nice. Came in and immediately noticed how much smaller it seemed in person than in the picture, which isn't a huge deal. Ended up ordering the jerk chicken wings, the ox tail and the brown stewed chicken. Jerk chicken wings here were phenomenal, loved the concept and the flavor here was done perfectly as it had all the jerk flavor to it with a hit of a sweet bbq glaze, this was unfortunately the only high note of the restaurant. Next ordered the oxtail which had way too much oregano, sauce was too watery and overall was not as flavorful as I'm used to at other places. The brown stewed chicken was bland and dry as well. The nickeling and diming here was also incredibly unwarranted and frankly appaling, as i paid a dollar extra for two plantain slivers. The biggest kicker was the price here, at 82 dollars I did not think the quality here warranted such a huge premium, especially since there are so many options around this part of town. While the presentation here is better than alot of other local spots the food quality and their business practices leave alot to be desired

Took a jaunt over to this wonderful restaurant. It is a large restaurant with a beautiful and tasteful layout. The owner and chef was an incredibly gracious and lovely person. Each dish was made to order and was fantastic, inventive and delicious. We had 3 dishes and were so pleased. The oxtail and snapper were incredible and filling.

We stopped by this neighborhood on our way to a concert and we were blown away by this new restaurant! The Caribbean food was really delicious- the flavors were deep and intense and we nearly drank the oxtail sauce. Unfortunately, not all the menu items were available, but we got to try things we never had before. I'm not Caribbean, so I can't attest to the food authenticity, but I definitely enjoyed the meal. The staff were very patient with explaining the different food to us as well, which we were grateful for! One day, we will be back!

My mom and dad raved about their shrimp rasta pasta & jerk wings, so I had to give it a try. Though the food wasn't bad with a tasty pasta & wings, the wait time was too long for me...I called ahead of time and still had to wait 30 minutes or so to get my food. I felt like I was in a restaurant with the time it took . Still despite that issue, I enjoyed my pasta. The wings were cool too, but really large for my liking (I knoooow, it sounds crazy right, like who complains about more chicken on the bone? Lol ‍.)

We were planning a surprise party and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went off without a hitch; the coordination and attention to detail were incredible. The food was outstanding across the board, with real Caribbean flavor, clearly made with care. The rooftop ambiance set the perfect tone for the night: great vibes, beautiful setting, exactly what you want for a special occasion. But honestly, the service is what took this from great to unforgettable. The ladies working that night were amazing; warm, attentive, and genuinely invested in making our celebration special. You could tell they actually cared about giving us a great experience, not just going through the motions. If you're in NYC and looking for a spot to celebrate something special (or just want a great night out), Caribbean Soul Rooftop on Merrick Blvd needs to be on your list.

Between the individuals in our party, we ordered calamari, thai curry mussels, red red snapper with the sweet, spicy sauce and without, lamb chops and six boss. The lamb chops were a tad overcooked, but the rest of the food was really good Our drinks were nice. Service was a tad slow, but good experience overall.

Time for an updated review because credit is definitely due…read more For nearly the past year, The Door has been in our family's Friday night dinner rotation. Every Friday, my four of us pick a different takeout spot, and without fail, someone always says, "Can we just get The Door?" We've had the curry goat, Rasta pasta, jerk chicken, fried chicken, oxtail, Esco chicken, soups, and the chicken patttttttties... mi God. Mi never taste a food wicked suh yet! Everything is consistently flavorful, fresh, and cooked with love. It's honestly become one of our go to spots because we know exactly what we're getting every single time. In my previous review, I mentioned a less than stellar experience. Looking back, maybe they were just having an off day or maybe I got the pot bottom. Whatever the reason, they've been nothing short of amazing ever since. Whether they changed chefs or tightened things up, whatever you're doing... DON'T CHANGE NADA! And I have to give an honorary shout out to Desrene, one of the wonderful team members who takes the takeout orders. She is ALWAYS pleasant, professional, and genuinely kind. It honestly brightens my day whenever I hear her voice on the other end of the phone. Consistency is everything in the restaurant business, and The Door has absolutely earned this updated 5-star review. Keep doing what you're doing!

Inside there is a line to order, as well as kiosks on the side. There are also two small tables if you want to eat inside. The bathroom is very clean, and they also have a sink by the wall to wash your hands. Service is efficient and I got my food about 15 minutes after ordering. My favorite was 100% the doubles. The basic channa double with tamarind sauce and mango chutney was so soft and perfectly sweet and tangy. The oxtail and goat curry were also good, but the channa was far superior---which says a lot since I love meat. I like the softer texture of doubles more than the thicker aloo pie and thinner/dryer roti. And considering how affordable every item is, I would definitely come back if I am around the area!

The shop is steady busy with takeout orders and the occasional folks (like me) who wanted to sit and enjoy my first doubles there. They only have two tables and chairs. Most people order to go. You may order at the kiosk and wait for your number to be called when it is ready to pick up. The kiosk is good because it easily shows all the sauces you may add to your doubles and the variety of other things like drinks, etc you may order. There is also the option to get in line and place your oder. You can watch the assembly line of workers quickly making food. Then check out with the cashier. They sell lots of different cakes, breads, nuts, and drinks too. I was a little overwhelmed on what to order, but a nice employee helped me out. I showed him what I was trying to order and asked for suggestions. Thanks to him I had the best doubles! Added tamarind sauce, mango chutney, and the benny sauce. The perfect vegetarian meal for $2.50! It is made of roti (flatbread), curried chickpeas, and topped with the sauces. Then rolled up to make a sandwich. So flavorful! I wasn't too sure which drink to get as I wasn't sure what they all tasted like. Chose the Seamoss drink, which is a mix of milk, seams, nutmeg, and some spices. Milky and not overly sweet. This was good. Maybe next time I'll get sorrel, which is hibiscus. They said the peanut drink is good too. Ordered Pholourie with tamarind sauce. These are fried savory dough balls. I couldn't resist getting a sweet treat. So, I randomly picked the salara bread, which looks like a cinnamon swirl bread slice. It is actually stuffed with shredded coconut that is colored red and tastes like cherry. Pretty good and not overly sweet. Definitely add this place to your list of eats in Queens. It is a trek from the city, but so good! Also, nice that it is a little bit away from the loud busy part of Liberty Ave in Richmond Hill. This is about a 15-20 min walk from there on Lefferts Blvd. Restroom available.

I ordered Datiles ($10 - bacon wrapped dates), my absolute favorite Spanish tapa, as well as a Cappuccino. The Datiles were satisfyingly sweet and chewy, with crispy flavorful bacon and crunchy almond. The Cappuccino was smooth, creamy, and strong. I also had the El Camino mocktail, which was made with ginger beer & pineapple. This was light and refreshing. Also got to try the Garlic Shrimp ($19), Pan Tumaca ($7 - bread with grated tomato). Garlic Shrimp came in a tasty savory olive oil sauce containing garlic, hot pepper, and parsley. Shrimp was succulent and juicy. I did not enjoy the Pan Tumaca, which was toasted rustic bread topped with grated tomato, olive oil, and garlic. The bread was stale and hard, while the tomato was quite bland. For the entree, I shared the Steak with Fries ($35). The dish comprised of Hangar Steak, which was sliced into pieces and served medium (though I asked for medium well). While the Steak was bold in flavor, it was not tender enough and on the dry side. Fries were delightfully crispy and addicting with true potato taste. Service was decent. Our waitress was welcoming and knowledgeable about the menu. Despite the place being very busy, everything came out in a timely manner and we were well attended to throughout our time here. Prices were reasonable, ranging from $7-25 for tapas, and around $26-35 for large plates.
