    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!

    Here is the menu as of March 2017

    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.

    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!

    Yummy

    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

    Oxtail

    I was soo hungry and stopped by this place for first time a few days ago. I ordered the oxtail it was delicious!! The gentleman and lady working there were very nice and made me feel welcomed. The place was small, quaint and clean.

When we arrived, the restaurant was fairly empty (only about four other tables), which made for a calm, relaxed dining atmosphere. We received complimentary fried dumpling which was nice and order calamari and the crab and lobster rolls, both of which were really good and a great way to kick things off. For entrées I ordered the oxtails with rice and peas, One friend had oxtails with jasmine rice, another ordered fried shrimp with jasmine rice and oxtail gravy, The last entrée was grilled salmon with mashed potatoes and vegetables Everything was very flavorful, well-seasoned, and satisfying. The oxtails were tender, and the salmon was cooked nicely. For drinks, we tried: * The Tropical Long Island * Their version of a Piña Colada * The Strawberry Sidecar All the drinks were enjoyable and paired well with the food. To end the night, my friends shared a slice of the Coconut Time Cake. I didn't try it personally, but the consensus from the table was that it was really good. Shoutout to our waiter, who was kind, attentive, and informative throughout the night, which always makes the experience better. Overall, Krave delivered good food, good drinks, and good service. I'd definitely return!

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm, welcoming, and clean, with nice music playing in the background that really set the mood for a relaxing brunch. The staff and service were excellent everyone was friendly, attentive, and professional. The drinks from the bar were honestly some of the best I've had in a long time. The bartender definitely did not skimp on the liquor, and the drink was perfectly made. For brunch, I ordered the omelet with jerk shrimp and it was absolutely delicious flavorful, well-seasoned, and cooked perfectly. My friend ordered the catfish and she loved it as well. Everything tasted fresh and well prepared. She also ordered dessert and really enjoyed it. Toward the end of our meal, Alvin, the owner, came over to our table and introduced himself, which was such a nice personal touch and made the experience even more special. Before leaving, I even ordered food to take home because the meal was that good. Overall, this restaurant was an excellent choice. Great food, great drinks, great service, and a great atmosphere. My friend and I enjoyed it so much that we are already planning to come back again with our husbands. I would definitely recommend Alvin & Friends for brunch.

Prices have gone up quite a bit but this place is now what seems to be a full service restaurant and bar. The traditional Jamaican items here are excellent but I'm looking forward to coming back and trying some of the less common items like the pastas and seafood entrees. The rum punch here is a must. They have a DJ here on the weekends and the service was quite good.
