Delphine Jamaican Restaurant - Ox Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Warren, Michigan

This is a small suburban hole in the wall type of restaurant. Jamaican Food in the burbs. It's a simple place with Jamaican colors and a few cool art pieces. They have a television and it's clean. The owners give it a Jamaican feel and vibe. I believe it's a couple that owns it. The man working the counter was pleasant. The food comes out hot and promptly. So no issues with service. However, the prices inside and online don't match. I need an updated menu to make sure that I am paying the correct price. As far as the food it was decent. I really liked some items and others were just ok. The Jerk Shrimp is a winner. The shrimp are seasoned with some love. The flavor is amazing with the sauce and the vegetables are delicious. 4 STARS The cabbage is lacking in taste. I expected it to be more flavorful. It could have been a bit softer too. 2 STARS The oxtails were tender, but again lacked in flavor and seasoning. 3 STARS The rice was cooked perfectly. 4 STARS The plantains weren't good. Something was missing. I was disappointed with them. 2 STARS The portion size is good for the price. I felt they gave me a fair amount of food. It's hard for me to rate them. I love supporting small businesses. However, I have definitely had better Jamaican food in the USA. I also have been to Jamaica and loved the food. I would definitely recommend the Jerk Shrimp. I would return for this and the rice only. Overall I would give it a 3.5 STARS. It was cool to try a new place while visiting home. I always enjoy having a new experience. I'm not brave enough to try the cow foot on the menu. I do wish them success. read more

Amazing! The jerk chicken was so tender it was falling off the bone as soon as I picked up each piece. If you like spicy , beware! It's spicy! But you do have the option to get it non spicy and it's equally as good! The Sorrel drink was tasty as well, first time trying it. There is some seating inside and the restaurant itself was really clean . Definitely recommend. read more

I've been coming here for years and always have had a great experience. Today i tried the jerk salmon for the first time and the flavor was excellent. Definitely on the sweeter side, not as spicy as some other jerk seasonings i've had in the past, but delicious and paired great with the cabbage and plantains. The rice and beans also have a uniquely sweet and pleasant flavor. Usually I get Delphine's after a long day of working in the garden during the summertime but today in the dead of winter this hearty Jamaican food warmed me right up! If you like supporting humble local long-standing businesses please go support Delphine! read more

I ordered the red snapper meal. It came with rice and beans, plantains and cabbage and the red snapper. I give the entire meal a 5 out of 10 -The red snapper had a very very strong lemon flavor that was over powering (4out of 10) -The rice and beans did not have very much flavor but were not bad (5 out of 10) -The cabbage was decent (6 out of 10) read more

I have ordered from this restaurant before and it's been fine. Today the order is exceptional. I ordered the large oxtail dinner with the cabbage and the plantains and the peas and rice and, I ordered an extra side of plantains. The meat just falls off the bones it's seasoned perfectly. The rice has more than adequately soaked up the gravy from the meat and I could not be more pleased overall. I always wish there were more plantains that come with a meal. But I am perfectly happy to order an extra side of them. Also, this delivery was extremely fast. Everything was perfect with ordering this and having it delivered right to my home. read more

Ordered takeout from here while on a trip with the fam. What I liked: the jerk shrimp was perfectly cooked (not over- or undercooked) What was just okay: cabbage was too garlicky for me, the jerk shrimp was a wet jerk that was too sweet for my liking What I didn't like: plantain was undercooked and swimming in grease, and there were only 4 (yes 4) shrimp in my order!! It was just okay. read more

They only cook dark meat. The curry chicken is decent. The chicken patties taste freshly made.

Been going here for about 5 years, NEVER a bad experience food always amazing and ready on time.

This could easily be a 5-Star review ... but when you charge $6.25 for a bottle of water that CostCo sells for 25 cents, you lose a star. We visited at lunch time. The Jerk Chicken (spicy, small lunch) and Curry Chicken (spicy, full lunch) were both excellent. My Jamaican friend was also happy with her Curry Goat (dinner) Mannish Water (goat soup). The dining room is indeed open and has six tables. We were the only dine-in customers- they do primarily carry-out business. The dining room is clean. The restroom is clean. The TV volume was so high that conversation was a bit strained. The remote was on the table, so I lowered the volume. Someone, somewhere (worker?) must have had another remote and increased the volume. Lose another star. Will I return? Probably not, because it is seriously inconvenient for me. If it was more convenient, I would definitely consider them a terrific option for take-out. read more

Got the medium jerk chicken and beef patty. The jerk chicken is flavorful , more on the sweet side. It's more of a braised or oven jerk chicken. Not from smoker or grill which I prefer. Beef patty was little dry. Still would come back. Took about 10 mins for food to come out . Lady is nice . One woman army doing everything. 3.5 stars really . read more

Owner is a nice guy I feel terrible leaving a negative review but this was the worst Jamaican food I've ever had. Their jerk chicken is flat out god awful, plantain not good. Again I don't like leaving negative reviews ok black owned restaurants but this food is just not good. read more

This place is amazing, it deserves way more recognition. The staff is super friendly and accommodating, and service is super fast. The curry goat is one of the most comforting meals I have ever eaten. This meal alone would cure everything trust me. The jamaican beef patties taste like comfort. Only thing I would recommend is more plantains but regardless, the food is perfection. Super friendly environment when you walk in, feels like you're at an aunt's house fr read more

Delphine Jamaican Restaurant - Oxtail Dinner and Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Warren, Michigan

I heard about this place from a friend of mine. It's about three blocks from where I work. I decided that this was perfect for lunch. The people are friendly and the jerk chicken was delicious. I can't wait to work my way through the menu. I already know what I'm ordering next time! They don't have a big sign out front, so you have to look for it. It is worth looking for. They only have a couple small tables, I hope that changes. It is great for carry out. The second time I dropped in I had the Curry Goat, another great dish. I love the plantain! I may have to order an additional side just to have more. Third time in, I had the ox tail, delicious!!!! Fourth time in I had the Brown stew, still really happy about this place. Last night I stopped in to get the cobbler, I bought one peach and one apple. I just heated them up in the oven and they were amazing. They bake them in the restaurant and you can find them in the refrigerator by the front door. Still love the plantain! read more

First time customer and we ordered quite a bit of food. I was torn between 2 and 3 stars. So... what was good, bad, and disappointing. This is a small family owned and operated restaurant with limited hours. I love to support family owned businesses. Ms. Delphine is a sweet woman who tries to accommodate her customers. We ordered 2 jerk chicken dinners. Plantains were perfect, chicken was only spicy on top of the semi- burnt/bbq'd skin. Rice was tough and undercooked. We ordered one dinner spicy/hot, and one medium. If you like the heat, then you must ask for some of the spicy jerk sauce on the side. I had to go back for this and new rice. Well... not new. I was quite surprised that after I called and explained that the rice was undercooked, I was told to bring it back. When I arrived, they took the old rice and only added a couple Tbsp. of sauce to the top and said it should be ok. No new hot rice. No hot sauce on top. (Mind you I spent over $60 on all this food.) After all was said and done, I will hesitantly return again and probably won't promote as much as I would have if customer service was better than a 2 at best. This place could really be something big with better mgmt, professionalism, and customer service. read more

I'm not fan of Jamaican food, but my friend loved the curry goat. I tasted but didn't really care for it. I had the jerk chicken. The service is bit slow but overall the food was good read more

Overall score. 3/10 Ambiance- I arrived to the establishment after sunset. It looked and smelled clean and a woman had just mopped the floors. The kitchen was closed off by a half curtain, which is pretty normal in Caribbean spots. Although for what I could see it was pretty clean. Other than that it was pretty empty. Service- I ordered through yelp. I waited about 45 minutes to arrive and my order was not ready. The gentleman said he had thought the order was canceled. I was not upset and did not mind waiting a little longer. He was prompt and started cooking. I noticed he pulled a small container out of the fridge and what was estimated to be a 45 minute wait was all of 10 minutes in the restaurant... that's were I probably should have been concerned. Food- (What I got: Curried Goat, Rice and peas, Roti, Beef Patti) Rice and Peas- 3/10 rating I believe it came out of a box. Possibly Red beans and rice from Zatteran's. Not a fan. Curried Goat: 4/10 not enough flavor, was not browned enough and the spice was almost not existent. The meat was Hala and tender. Roti- 2/10 I could see what they wanted to do but it was like naan bread but very think and dense. Beef Patti- 6/10 it was flaky, had a kick although it taste a little old. Overall- For me this would not be a place I'd recommend. For $29... I just expect something along Jamaican Spot quality. The food was not as fresh as I'd liked and it left me wishing I would have cancelled the order when it was not ready. This restaurant has some growing and perfecting to do. read more

Food was great...loved the oxtails and cornbread. WILL NOT SHARE WITH ANYONE...Cabbage was good as well.

Great new carryout for Jamaican food. Tried the vegetarian pie, Rasta stew and jerk chicken. All were very good. The stew and chicken meals came with sides of plantains and cabbage dish which were phenomenal. Ordered side of coco bread which was like a Jamaican version of Hawaiian rolls. Very tasty and addicting. Also tried the peach cobbler which I found to be ok -have too much spice and not enough salt. Overall, highly recommend trying this new gem to the area. read more

Wish I could say good things as I ... from diapers... grew up with a Jamaican family. Purchased a Groupon to try them out. Ordered food but upon arrival was denied the money I spent on the Groupon. I don't live in the area so I'll never return but good thing they got their money! read more

Really great service! I called at 7:30 for a carry out and they only quoted me a 10 minute wait. They asked if I wanted spicy and I said no. The lady on the phone and at the counter was really nice. I got all of this for around $13.50. I did not like the plantains. The chicken, rice, and cabbage were amazing. I will come again when I'm in the area. It was the perfect amount of food for 1 person. read more

This popped up is hot and new on my Yelp food list. I was really really craving some curry chicken. In the beginning I was looking for Indian establishment because you think Curry you think Indian.... boy was I WRONG I should have been thinking CARIBBEAN JAMAICAN. So I placed my order with them over the phone and I am greeted by this lovely Caribbean man who I just did not want to let off the phone.... because his voice was just so intriguing to me. I figured if just his voice alone intrigued me this food is going to be something. Because I was so intrigued I decided to arrive early and investigate. I walk into a pretty average storefront it is tucked away next to what I believe a child care Center. It was close to closing and I was the only one left besides another couple in front of me I originally ordered the curry chicken but the smell lured me in and had me asking questions for more. Over the phone I asked what desserts and drinks they offer and in his lovely voice he proceeded to tell me well mame you just have to come in and see for yourself... Ha Ah HA well I DID.... I HAD SO MANY YUMMY THINGS I COULD NOT CARRY THEM ALL BY MYSELF! try the Black Fruit Cake.... rummmmm yum. And also try the carribian ginger juice read more

While I would only consider this as a take-out restaurant, if you are looking for authentic Jamaican food, this is the place. The Jerk Chicken is the best you can find in the Detroit area. The bottled drinks come from Jamaica or are made by local companies that have knowledge of Jamaican cuisine. (The drinks containing ginger are especially delicious). The employees are very nice and friendly. It is located on the Warren/Eastpointe city limits on 9 Mile between Schoenherr and Hayes. It is in a hole-in-the wall, blink and you miss type building. I really wish that it were relocated and be a full service sit down restaurant. read more

Ok...I want to start off by saying that I am going to try this restaurant again, and soon! I learned about this restaurant on Facebook a couple of weeks ago, and I was so excited that there was a Jamaican Restaurant that I didn't have to drive all the way to the west side for. So that is a huge plus! I finally was able to drop in and order a couple of days ago. The staff were super friendly, and nice! So another plus! My order was up in a timely matter, another plus. I ordered the Jerk Chicken dinner, medium size and medium spice. Once I was home, I noticed that the chicken had herbs and this coating on the chicken that I knew before tasting, I probably would not like. And sure enough, I didn't care for it. So I take responsibility for that, Bc on the menu and in the description, it's says special Jamaican blends, in which I should've asked more about that. So the special blend threw the taste off for me if the jerk chicken and the rice. It was too overpowering in my opinion, kind of a sweet/basil taste. I didn't care for it at all. Everything else was good, the Plantains and the Veggies. Next time I go, I would like to order the Jerk Chicken without the special Jamaican blend, and see how I like it. I would also like to order beef patties. So I'm definitely open to trying again; just tweaking my order a bit! read more

What a great find! If you like Jamaican food than this place is for you. I've been wanting to try this place out so it got fat pretty quick. I ordered the jerk chicken dinner and the oxtail dinner. Food was hot and served quickly. It was delicious. Fast and friendly service! This place is easy to miss, but give this place a try and support a local small business. I will for sure be returning. read more

Terrible, it just tastes like sweet sauce. I don't even think the used salt and pepper plus the sauce is watery.

First I have to say I may be addicted to doordash, after the last year, I've never ordered so much takeout. Anywho this jamaican spot was really nice however the price point was ridiculous. I've had better oxtails elsewhere, but all in all not bad. The mannish soup was very good the pic I have doesn't show anything but the broth. read more

The food here is awesome. I love that Jamaica music is playing while I enjoy my food. There's a few tables and chairs inside to enjoy your meal. I wouldn't recommend huge groups.. no more than four if you want to sit inside. Tony was the one that helped me with my order. He suggested the beef patty. I've never had one and I'm glad he suggested it, it was so good! I had a Island Mango juice drink with my meal. I liked that as well. Some customers inside recommended the Pineapple drink, or the Ginger (which there are multiple ones to choose from). I ordered the oxtails dinner (very spicy) and a side of jerk chicken (not spicy). This oxtails are so delicious!! And yes definitely spicy. I couldn't finish it all (that patty filled me up a bit)... I ate while watching the Michigan vs Rutgers game. I enjoyed that as well. Go blue!! But yes I recommend you try Delphine's!! read more

Got curried chicken from DoorDash and it was AMAZING! Also got red peas soup which I think I could eat every day. I did not care for the plantains and not sure if it was the seasoning/preparation or if I just don't like them. But next time I would ask to see if I could substitute a little more rice or something as I hate to waste and did not end up eating these. Will most definitely order from here again! read more

Delphine Jamaican Restaurant - Curry Chicken Dinner - Caribbean Near Me - Warren, Michigan

Had Lunch Special Large jerk chicken (1Leg,1Thigh) with 1chicken curry pattie and 1 beef pattie. The service was fast and the food was hot , it was my first time here and wanted to explore the menu options . But no suggestions or explanation of menu offerings in regards to favorites of customers. Once I got the opportunity to taste the food it wasn't as pungent in spices as I imagined it to be as advertised as authentic. Lacked seasoning and wasn't spicy enough as requested (maybe due to small portions) but the patties were on point . I'll give them another shot in the near future as a last minute fix. Maybe i caught them on a bad or slow day. Overall it was decent and prepared well. read more

I am always open to trying new cuisine and although I have usually eaten at Jamaican Pot on 8 Mile, I decided to try a new Jamaican restaurant, Delphine's. I order the Jerk Chicken dinner and beef patty and they were good. The jerk chicken was a little sweet, which was different, but it was stewed right. The cabbage was crisp and flavorful and the plantains were cut evenly and sweet. The Jamaican Patty was ok. I was expecting a little more spice. I would probably get my food a little spicier next time as I wanted to play it safe to gauge the heat levels offered. Tony was a really nice guy and showed me my food before leaving. Check them out! read more
