Hunger is a real catalyst. I was told the food here feels and tastes like downright home cooking…read more And it does. The oxtail and white rice was gone in a heartbeat - I was lucky to get a sample. The turkey neck and steak were both accompanied with rice and peas. For me, those were a disaster - because the rice and peas was a bit heavy on the salt thus detracting from the meats. The fried chicken gets its own paragraph. If I hadn't driven away a good distance already, I would have turned back for more. As we say, it was "more-ish!" So two hits and two misses. I will be back to try everything with white rice, or ask for a peas n rice sample for salt content. Update - I was not the only one with the salt issue. Apparently this is not the norm. So someone hand went a little heavy that day. No biggie - I will be back regardless!

Tried this place for the first time for delivery. It took…read morenearly 45 minutes probably because the order taking person does not write down the street name properly. The food was really tasty. The chicken breast with garlic was with a lot of very garlicky (and a little too salty) sauce. It was $12 for the chicken and a side. The side rice and beans' rice was so plenty, that even 3 of us could not finish it. Fried plantain was in a round container with a holed lid to prevent them from getting soggy. Very impressed Steamed vegetable (side) was a good amount with good broccoli flowers, plenty of carrots. Delivery charge was not included so I gave $3 to the delivery person and that made the total $35. Not bad at all considering the quality and quantity.

I go to tap for the order. But I notice it says $6. I stop her and correct her, but she says it's an extra dollar for the card. "I don't make the rules, I just work here." Okay, but then I point to the sign. It says "pinetarts" and cheese rolls are $2, not $2.50. She tells me this pineapple tart, this literal pinetart, and which looks exactly like every other pinetart, is "not a pinetart." She doesn't explain what it is. My $4 order had become $6 for no reason. And she got zero because I told her (respectfully) no thanks and left. Between the "I don't make the rules" and "it's not a pinetart" and "it's $2.50" and the "extra dollar charge for the card" -- was everything this person said a lie? Why would you treat your customers this way? Wth.

This is my go to for lunch nowadays in Flatbush. They have one of the only lunch specials in the…read morearea, and their food is always good. I mean always. The lunch specials is about $5.90 it comes with rice, chicken, salad or plantains. The rice is so good and so is the chicken. I normally get the stew chicken option. I also go for the jerk chicken option as well. Either way, you can't go wrong with whatever you get. It's so good! The service is okay. It's a Caribbean restaurant so I'm never expecting the best customer service. They are nice. lol. They have chairs and the restaurant itself is nice and calm for a take out spot. If you haven't tried them, and you're in the area, check them out. They also have oxtail patties that were some of the best I've ever had. They're a bit pricey tho i think at $9. But it's real good. Sorry i never take pics cuz im always bussing it down lol. Maybe next time. I'll be back maybe Friday lol.

This restaurant is right in my neck of the woods! Used to be called McBeans, but now rebranded as…read more"StarSpice". The other day I was given the curry chicken and fried rice and it was pretty decent. The rice was very good and carried the meal it alone I would give a 8/10. From trying that I was eager to go inside and try more. I went recently and saw that they have jerk pork (which I love), but only on Fridays and Saturdays. Ironically it was a Friday, so I was lucky. The restaurant itself was very clean and there is some seating so you can sit indoors. I've also been looking for a place that sells Chow mein as well and I was glad that it was sold here. I got the jerk pork, Chow me in (had to pay extra) and salad. The portion was very generous. They packed it up tight and added condiments. I even got to try a piece of their sorrel cake, and it was GOOD. The jerk pork I would give an 8/10 and the chow mein a 7/10. Upon getting home, I was anxious to try it. With the first bite, it was very tender and fell off the bone. It was well seasoned and tasty. I took it slowly because I didn't want to finish it fast. The Chow me in was okay, I feel like it needed a bit more seasoning. Overall, I would come back here! And did you know they have a $5 lunch special?!? From Monday - Saturday?! That's amazing! Thank you for having me StarSpice! Until we meet again!
