A squeeze of lemon and a dip into their green aji verde adds a nice bite and heat, which can make you forget that you're eating a mountain of fried deliciousness. The lomo saltado and their half chicken are also great, and be sure to chase it down with some chicha.

The owner Annarella was so kind and explained each food to me and put together such an amazing menu of fabulous food, it brought my guests to tears.

I am so grateful to her for making us such a memorable day and will absolutely do it again. Thank you Annarella. Rita

The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious, with generous portion sizes. We especially appreciated that the menu included photos, which made it so much easier to decide what to order. The staff could not have been nicer. Several members of the management team stopped by our table throughout the evening to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our experience. Service was quick and attentive, and the ambience is beautiful--warm, inviting, and a great place for dinner. Our only critique was the chicharrón, which was quite dry and chewy and didn't seem as fresh as the rest of the meal. Everything else was excellent. So happy we finally checked this place out after all these years. We'll definitely be back!

Besides almost every table full at 1:15 lunch...including the back room and it is a large restaurant. We were seated without a wait. Took longer to navigate the huge menu. Hubby and I just wanted a light lunch. He ordered the chicken wings and I ordered the "fish" sandwich w/o cheese. Unfortunately, I was served the chicken sandwich not the requested fish sandwich. It still came with avacado, onions, tomato and lettuce. (No cheese as requested). Once I took a bite I realized I had the wrong sandwich. I was disappointed. Waiter apologized and offered to switch it up...I can see he felt bad and we were not quite sure where we both messed up...could have been me? Him? Not a big deal...I just kept it and enjoyed. Chicken was slighty dry (cheese would have fixed the dryness) but seasoned perfectly. It was a large sandwich with two layers of thin grilled chicken. I would split it next time. I like the way it was served...wrapped in a paper. I requested un-seasoned fries and my request was honored. It was all a generous portion. The restaurant is high energy, food around us all looked delicious and fresh, cocktails looked really good...I wanted to taste the cappuccino martini next to us...tempting to order one. Service was timely, friendly and efficient. Noise level a tad high however it was easy enough to carry on a conversation. Overall, I understand the reason this place was so busy...definately a solid fun place...wish it were on my neighborhood as I enjoy exploring different dishes. Thumbs up for sure.

I happened to stumble upon Cravin Jamaican Cuisine in Ossining online and decided to give them a try. A small little shop with a very attentive staff. I ordered a medium stew chicken and some chicken patties to go. The food was delicious and a generous portion, I had plenty left to take home. I was not as much of a fan of the patties as I was the stew. They were not bad, I just have had the opportunity to try several from all over as well as my sister makes some awesome ones. This was nice gem to find for both grab and go or a quick stop and grub on the spot. When in the area again I would Mine stopping by again, even if it's just to grab to food to go. Just A Note: They have some ice cream (Jamaican run raisin and grape nut to name a couple) that I was interested in trying. However I was full and wouldn't travel well. Maybe next time I'll eat the ice cream and save the food. Lol.

There are two huge TV's on the wall facing the tables and one TV above the bar. I ordered the rotisserie chicken and specifically asked for white meat. It was juicy, perfectly cooked, the skin with slightly crispy and tastes sooooo good. My meal surprisingly came with 2 sides of my choice. I chose the Chaufa and plantains. The chaufa is Peruvian style fried rice that is flavored with a bit of soy sauce, ginger, scallions and scrambled egg. Delish!!!!! A must try. You can even order the Chaufa as a stand alone dish with whatever meat you want inside. :-) The plantains were my least favorite. Because they are super sweet and soggy. I like a crunch and sort of carmelized look. There's a Purple CornLemonade drink that is supposedly really good. But I didn't take a chance on it. Despite the owner offering me the opportunity to try it and take it back if I don't like it. I had to opt out. Because I'm on a lemonade and limeade kick right now. They are my preferred drinks of choice at the moment. But Hey!!! I'd like you to encourage you to try it.
