Culcha Juice Bar Lounge - I ordered oxtails dinner with rice and beans cabbage, and fried banana - Caribbean Near Me - Haledon, New Jersey

I love Jamaican food and couldn't wait to try this spot! When I arrived I had to park on the street because the lot was full. I walked up, and there was a takeout side and a lounge area side. I ordered the pineapple Mango smoothie, oxtail sliders, jerk chicken and plantain sandwich, and the curry chicken dish. All the food was really good. I really don't have a favorite, and the smoothie was delicious! I had an amazing experience! read more

I'm Caribbean and I enjoyed this food so much. It could use a tiny bit of pepper but it was so good.

Food was delicious. The goat had just the right amount of spice to it. The service here was great. Story time: I went to this restaurant and asked for curry goat. When I got to my car, I realized they mistakenly gave me oxtail. I went back to have my order corrected, and not only did they give me a plate of Curry Goat, they told me oxtail is one of the most popular dishes, and he gave me a sample to try. The sample was very delicious and I see why it is popular. I may go back for the oxtail soon. However, the curry goat was very good, and the portion was big enough to eat for dinner and again for breakfast. I highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Culcha Juice Bar Lounge - Curry Goat with cabbage and plantains. - Caribbean Near Me - Haledon, New Jersey

I ordered beef, chicken patties, oxtail, and rice with peas. The chicken patties were overly hard, and upon bringing this to the staff member's attention, I was informed that they were merely crunchy. However, I believe they were, in fact, old and overcooked. Additionally, both the oxtail and the rice were similarly overcooked and unpalatable. Regrettably, I found the service to be lacking, and I DO NOT recommend this establishment to others. NOTE: This is my second time here. NEVER AGAIN. read more

I tried the restaurant out at a food truck event and man was it what I needed after a long day of work. The food reminded me of Jamaica. The owner was very kind and friendly. The prices weren't too bad either. read more

I just wanna start by saying the customer service was horrible. I walked in and ordered a large oxtail platter and I wasn't spoken too at all, just given a mean look. The price for the plate of oxtails was very steep (around 29$) for about five oxtails on my plate that was all bone and fat, and on top of that, I ordered an oxtail plate and got a mixture of oxtail and beef stew. Even though the flavor was good from the little bit I did have, iwas overall, a horrible experience and I will never go back. read more

if you're looking for authentic jamaican food this place isn't it. Ordered the Jerk Chicken meal, and not exaggerating they served us Chinese white rice, the driest chicken, and the most bland cabbage ever. read more

Food was cold, stale, lower in quantity than what I paid for, and tasted terrible. I ordered 16oz of chicken, and as soon as the food arrived I could tell the chicken did not weigh 16oz. So I put it on a food scale and it showed that I received 13oz instead of 16oz. I was hungry so I tried eating it right away and it was not only cold, but it also tasted like left overs from days ago. The jerk chicken did not even taste like jerk chicken, it was rotisserie chicken with sauce on the side. Luckily I got full refund from Uber Eats. I will never order from here ever again. read more

Culcha Juice Bar Lounge - Jerk Chicken. Cold, stale, and got less than what I paid for - Caribbean Near Me - Haledon, New Jersey

Best Jamaican restaurant in the area. I think their changed their name and new owners, but the food is still the same and great. 1) I recommend their oxtail with rice and peas. 2) Their curry chicken is also excellent. 3) Beef patty is also good. I like the fact they have spicy version for people like me, who love spicy, and I mean Indian-style spicy. read more

We ordered from this place on Sunday and I missed work on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday because I got food poisoning. Stay away!!

We were in the area and visited this place for the first time. an overall great experience. The young lady at the counter was friendly and helpful. We had the opportunity to meet the owner who was very nice. we had a nice conversation about the food and the business. We ordered the Curry Goat, fried Fish, Jerk Chicken and Oxtails. Everything was very flavorful and tender. We will definitely be back. read more

Alright, so boom. There I was in the comfort of my own home, scrolling through my phone as one does, minding my own business when all of the sudden, my big back senses started going wild! I know, I know you're probably wondering, "Caleb! What could've possibly caused this!?" Well, calm down and keep reading! I got you! I done seen thee most delicious looking slider concoction I done ever seen, an oxtail slider!!! I mean, this thang just looked immaculate!!! I knew I just had to have it! But surely it wasn't... HOT DAMN IT'S IN NEW JERSEY!!!!! However, it was 2 hours away. But did that stop my big backtivity? Of course it didn't! This is my food review! Pay attention! So anyways, my brother and I hop in the whip and make that 2 hour trek without hesitation. IT! WAS! SO! WORTH! IT! How can I even begin to explain how good this slider was? If I can only eat this for the rest of my life, I would be absolutely satisfied. Incredibly so. The tenderness of the oxtail, the amalgamation of flavor ESPECIALLY dipped in their homemade sauce was just chef's kiss!!! The sliders alone made the whole trip so worth it! Then I got to the oxtail beef paties, and oh my damn!!!! Again! Absolutely spectacular flavor of the likes I haven't had before!!! I followed that up some mango sriracha wings that were so damn delightful and I washed it all down with a delectable piña colada smoothie! On top of the insanely amazing food, the staff were all awesome people! So nice, friendly, and just genuinely good people!!! The whole experience was a million out of ten!!!! Even though it's a 2 hour hike for me, I will 100% be going back!!! I have to try their curry shrimp and every caribbean taco option they have!!! Seriously y'all, if you want your taste buds to become your taste best friends, then I highly highly recommend checking this place out!!! They just opened up a lounge section and will have live music every weekend, too!!! Great vibes, great people, and even better food!!!!! read more

This is a tiny place. The only seating appeared to be chairs set against a table in the window. On a hot day there was no air conditioning and the door was propped open. My friend and I walked in and almost immediately walked out read more

This spot is awesome. They are consistent with there food and they don't skimp on the portion. Definitely one of the best Ox tail around. Staff is super friendly. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone read more

Just ordered for the 1st time food is excellent everything is nice and fresh mmmmmm that banana peanut butter porridge is to die for thank you your new regular customer read more

So placed an order at this place just got cancelled because of 2 slices of bread. This is NOT A JAMAICAN PLACE. It is ridiculous. I am sick of people trying to do jamaican dood when they are not jamaican. Also those giving 5 stars don't know what Jamaica. Food is Sorry no such point as -5 read more

bussin best oxtail i ever had (next to my moms) it was sooo good and the way they smother that gravy on the rice and peas make every bite feel like the first time read more

I worked with a company that did advertising for smaller restaurants. So I got to see a slice of the tristate area's dining. My second favorite was the Indian fine dining restaurant Sambal. But if I'm going to be honest my favorite restaurant we did service for was this hole in the wall Caribbean restaurant. Perhaps I am biased as I had never had oxtail before. That being said, it's the only restaurant that I find my self coming back to on a regular basis. It's a well kept secret that deserves to be a poorly kept secret. read more

I loved the oxtail and my wife liked the stewed chicken. Her only complaint was a need for more gravy! Spinach and curry chicken patties were also good. I will be back! read more

First of all, the sever was very pleasant and friendly which is rare at Jamaican restaurants. Secondly, the food was fresh but lacked heat (spice) I ordered the jerk chicken meal and a spicy beef patty and a spinach patty. The pattys were fresh and not dried and burnt like other restaurants. They were stingy with the oxtail gravy, which was expected. read more

The food is so good and you do get a lot for your money. It's expensive. It is well seasoned and you get to savor every moment

This was my first visit to Kul-Cha. It was a Saturday at noon. I ordered the jerk chicken lunch. The two older ladies working were polite and helpful describing what goes into the meal. It is generally a take-out place but seeing no sitting customers, I sat at one of the two tables. I enjoyed my meal while listening to country music which I think was turned on for me. There is a small television but that was not on. I chicken, the rice, the vegetables and the planteens were great not to mention plentiful. I got the impression that they were glad to have been able to offer Jamaican cooking to someone who has not had much of it before. read more

Awesome Caribbean food. Portions are decent too. They tend to have most common dishes, like curry/jerk stuff. I've ordered from them many times with no complaints. Only issue is parking. read more

I am Soo sooo very happy that I found this place!! I was referred by a friends who also enjoys Jamaican food. I ordered an oxtail combo and Jamaican jerk chicken combo macaroni and cheese and an extra side of rice and a Jamaican beef patty. Everything was phenomenal but I do have to say that my favorite thing was the Jamaican beef patty. It has such flavor that I couldn't even believe. I recommend this place to all locals in Haledon and Paterson that is looking for an affordable cheap bite to eat that is also equally yummy! read more

Amazing food. I went there for the Jerked chicken and tried the OX tail too. The jerked chicken had a great balance of flavor heat. Ox tail was special. Rice and pea's were sold and had great flavor. Also the large portion was HUGE. I ate it all but could be shared for 2 people. The women behind the counter was friendly and sweet. If you are craving home made, authentic cooking this is the place for you. read more
