The food is delicious. The portions are fair, service is lovely! Casual easy ambiance! So much better than G*lden C*ust.

This is our go to place for absolutely delicious cuisine. Our catering order consisted of brown stewed chicken, curried chicken, cod fish critters, coconut rice & peas, sweet plantains and steamed mixed vegetables. Everything was plentiful, professionally presented & packaged, and most of all; DELICIOUS!!!! The quality and taste is always consistent with just the right amount of spice. Our guests praised the food throughout the event and came back repeatedly for 2nds & 3rds. The cost is reasonable and the attention to detail, follow up, courtesy and timeliness of delivery (early) and assistance with the set up help to make our event flawless. It's always a pleasure- Thank you Mr. Hawthorne! Pastor Landrum - Co op City, the Bronx read more

Great little hole in the wall by the awful construction that continues in New Ro. The patties are always fresh -my mom is picky and she loves the Jerk Chicken that comes with sides. My fav is curried chickpeas -very hearty meals here -I unfortunately forget the name of the baked sweets or bread but delicious! and very friendly service- this place is in my weekly routine ! read more

Small Jamaican mom & pops shop off north ave. I ordered the oxtail with cabbage and rice, with a few carrots in the mix; extra gravy. There were no choices available for small or medium portions - he told me there was just a large platter for 19.99$ I'm like, THATS KINDA Pricey! Sounds like a shady scheme to me. But I went for it anyway, cause it smelled delicious. The food was good and not just average Jamaican fare, VERY GOOD melt in Your mouth oxtail delicious. I'm biased, cause I love cabbage, the cabbage was fresh and just how I liked it cook, a little more on the crispy side and less soft. The rice was marinating in that brown oxtail sauce and it was scrumptious! Highly recommend the food here, the price I thought was a bit high. Carry on foodies! And don't forget to eat a mint afterwards for good digestion. Bon Appetito! read more

This is a tiny, hidden gem in New Rochelle. Amazing food, friendly and prompt service and close to the train. You can tell that Leonard takes real pride in his cooking. I've tried all the staples - oxtail, curry goat, etc. - all top notch. He also makes fresh muffins and Jamaican bun in-house. But here is what puts D'bay over the top. I recently came back from yard and rediscovered how much I enjoy steamed fish. This is a hit or miss item at most places. I asked Leonard if he could make it and he said "sure I just need a day or so notice so I can go out and buy your fish so it's fresh." I ordered the steamed fish as lunch for my family and was blown away. Perfectly cooked, just the right amount of spice, the sauce had okra and other veggies in it. It's clear that D'bay isn't in business for high volume or to maximize profit. Their food is made with a level of care and love you normally get eating at a relative's home. For a decade, I drove past D'bay on my daily commute and regret that I never dropped in. From now on I won't go anywhere else for my Jamaican food fix. Easiest 5/5 I've ever given. read more

I don't know how I've spent so many years in New Rochelle without ever hearing about this place. I dropped by late on a Monday night and ordered a plate of oxtail, rice n peas, veggies and plantains. It was about $17.00 and worth every last penny. One of the gentlemen behind the counter made a bold claim that he had the best jerk chicken in westchester. It's a bold statement but I'm a believer. I'm surprised that this place doesn't have more presence on Yelp. They accept CC's, they deliver, there is parking on the street and a parking lot on the side. This place is #winning. Can't wait for my next visit...... yes the oxtail is better than the "other" two places in new Rochelle. read more

D'Bay Cafe - Here is the menu as of March 2017 - Caribbean Near Me - New Rochelle, New York

So my aunt and I decided to try this place after having been referred by my uncle some weeks ago and after reading some of the yelp reviews, which sad to say, steered me wrong... because the food was terribly D'Gusting! My aunt ordered a large oxtail with white rice and cabbage and a small jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage; I also ordered the small jerk (wanting to play it safe being that this was my first time).the prices were normal; no issues there... While fixing the plates the man was on his cordless phone (had the phone sitting between his ear and shoulder), and as we were trying to ask him to put gravy on the rice, homeboy had the nerve to look over his shoulder at us and give us the "hold on" signal... AND THEN once he decided to get off the phone said to us "what were you saying" lol!! ok... moving along... it took him almost 20/25min just to fix our plates (the jerk chicken n oxtail were not made to order) and I know some of the reviews said that it was best to call ahead of time... but damn!!... Now getting to the bad part... Before I could even get in my front door, my aunt who lives closer to the restaurant than I do, was already home and had started to eat her meal, calls me and told me the oxtails barely had any meat on them and the cabbage tasted uncooked... and that she threw the whole meal in the trash! Smh! Now me, still hoping for the best, opened mine up, took a spoonful of rice and realized the rice wasn't fully cooked! And just to make sure, I took about 3/4 extra spoonfuls and got the same... smh! I was more than disappointed and even worst: STARVING! Only thing that was half decent was the jerk chicken, which I ate with some Hawaiian rolls I'd already had... if you know good Jamaican food, don't even waste your time! Pure disappointment! read more

D'Bay Cafe is a big hit with my family! I love the wonderfully seasoned curry chicken with the rice and veggies. My husband loves the jerk chicken wrap and the kids can't stop eating the tasty beef patties with the softest coco bread. Every time we have visited this small restaurant we are always greeted by the friendly owner. I can't say enough about the great food and excellent customer service . read more

I enjoy the food at D'Bay it is well made and conscious of the variable dietary restrictions customers may have. It's seasoned but not extremely so. The chicken soup is imfamous. The baked goods are fine and the whiting is top class. I'm there minimum once a week. read more

The hidden diamond of New Rochelle, however make sure you order a head or take your time talking to Lenard (the owner and chief - who is actually really cool) the food is mildly spicy, tasty and has that home cooked feeling. Other new Rochelle Jamaican places over spice lately, that's why I go to Lenard's. The price is right, it has a parking area right next to it so it's all convenient read more

Very good and on time, good amount of food! Oxtail dish was delicious, wish there were more pieces of meat though.. still yummy. They were out of Mango Carrot but we're nice enough to call and let us know and had Mango Pineapple instead, loved it! Also very affordable definitely will order again read more

Healthy portions of WELL MADE food! Every time I go into the shop the owner is actually cooking! Seasoning and cleaning meats!!! 100% authentic Caribbean food with an extended menu including breakfast, breads, muffins, cakes and brownies! The patties are the best and nothing complements them better than the owners own homemade juices, the mango-lemonade is my favorite!!! You will do well to stop by DBay Cafè for a quick bite or a home cooked meal. I have never had a negative experience there. Enjoy! read more

The food is a mediocre and service is terrible. The owner is slow as molasses, incompetent, and rude.

I come here all the time to get some food the owner is very nice I don't know him from a hole in the wall and he gave me free porridge cause he was just making it for himself. The jerk chicken is the best he could use mac and cheese but he's more of a home style cooker so I understand why he don't have I wish he made red snappa I hope he add that soon the serrel is good if yu want good Jamaican food come here read more

Very tasty. Ordered with ubereats. Each order comes with rice&peas and a cabbage/vegetable mix. I order the jerk chicken. It had a wet sauce, kind of like a jerk bbq. It was spicy (I had a, woah! moment or two) but delicious. Would order from again! read more

The food is delicious and the prices are reasonable. The owner is always welcoming and friendly. The jerk chicken is on point.

Very good homemade food. Chicken curry, Jerk Chicken, Oxtails. Just ask what is not spicy (stew chicken) if you like it mild. All served with tasty rice, peas and a cabbage/veg. slaw. Yum! Eat in or take out. Plenty of parking next door in the muni lot. read more
