I enjoyed a "Cousins" get together yesterday at Greyz Bistro. The entire experience was so satisfying. Greyz is a small restaurant so you should make a reservation. The chef has created a fusion of foods and flavors that was extremely pleasing to my palate. When we were there the restaurant was almost full so we came with our patience and it was worth it. The server, unfortunately we never got his name, was very attentive, friendly with a slick sense of humor and all of his effort was greatly appreciated. Although we ordered separately, we treated the experience like a family style meal, tasting almost everything on the table. Known for the oxtail ravioli, you'll do yourself a disservice if you don't try it! They are so deliciously flavorful! I cleaned that plate! The shrimp scampi with angel hair pasta was buttery and smooth and the shrimp were huge. I didn't taste the mac and cheese, due to allergies, but my cousins loved it. The fried rice was very flavorful and the fried rice with oxtail pieces was beyond comparison. One cousin had the whole snapper which she enjoyed. This came with callaloo (very tasty) and plantains that were perfectly sweet and impeccably cooked without a trace of oil being used. Another cousin had the whole jerk hen that she enjoyed. It was served with bok choy and a plantain pancake underneath. The bok choy made my mouth happy! The only thing that missed the mark, in comparison, was the honey barbecue wings. They were average and did not compare to the excellence applied to the creation of the rest of the dishes. For dessert, we had the molten lava cake, with 4 spoons and it was light yet quite flavorful, especially with the rum-craisin ice cream in the dish. Finally, don't sleep on the 'Sidecar' drink, which was delicious and strong. Greyz is a little pricey and the prices honor the experience and skill of Chef Cheese. He has done the "damn thing" with these dishes! We're DEFINITELY going back! We have 2 more cousins to introduce Greyz to! read more

This is one of the few sit down restaurants in the neighborhood and the only one on the block. Went on a warm Wednesday around 6pm and no one was there. That along with the ramp made it perfect for me to bring two kids with a stroller. The host/waitress/bartender greeted us with a smile and quickly seated us. We ordered the escovitch fish, lemon drop, rum punch and spring rolls. Everything came out steaming hot and took 20-30 minutes after the drinks. Another party showed up, but even though the space is small (you can see the other end of the room from one end), there are large windows with natural lighting, & white bright walls; you don't really notice the other guests. Millennial r&b music playing but I was able to talk without yelling. The cassava fries were a little salty, but the escovitch fish & lemon drop were great. Overall, enjoyed the food, but the waitress greeting the kids made the experience great. read more

I went to Greyz with a larger group for an early dinner, around 5PM on a Saturday. We were the only table there which worked out well since food took some time to come out. The woman hosting was kind, moved around tables to accommodate us all. They advertise a happy hour from 5-7PM (weekends included) but oddly, there's no printed HH menu. The waitress described to us verbally what was there and that includes select cocktails, wings, fries, bao buns and spring rolls. There are a few discrepancies between the menu in-person and the menu on the website, so ask if there's a menu item you saw online and don't see there. I got the fish sandwich which came with a side of old bay fries. The fish was crispy and a very nice balance between the batter and actual fish. The slaw that came with it was a nice complement as well as the aioli which brought it all together. The fries tasted like frozen as opposed to handcut, could have been a bit more elevated if they made theirs in house. Everyone in my party enjoyed their food, the plantains were perfectly brown and the wings/bao buns had good reviews from my friends. Cozy spot that was welcoming and I'd come to again if I was in the area, but I wouldn't necessarily make a trek to come here. read more

Where do I start? This place odd small bit big in charm and flavor. The drinks were 10/10 and I'd get that lemon drop anytime. I can't remember the name of the dish I had with jerk hen over a plantain pancake, but my God! That pancake gave me life! Definitely going back! read more

The food is always top notch. The menu is forever changing, and the decor and ambiance is always classic and feels like home. I frequent often when I can, roughly around $100-$150 a sitting! Chef is a stand up guy, always willing to adapt and put his culinary skills to the test. The servers are always adorable and patient with my "complicated order. Definitely support Black Owned Businesses. BROOKLYN STAND UP I will try to find more pictures and add those As well! read more

I visited for dinner on a Tuesday evening and service was fast and welcoming from the door. Someone greets you as soon as you enter to seat you at one of the intimate tables with a view of the creative mural that seems to depict river rafting in Jamaica in the colors and shapes of the Jamaican flag I had the pork bao buns and oxtail fried rice. The buns were pillowy soft with thick pork belly pieces and a slaw to cut through the fat and sweetness of the pork. The oxtail fried rice was pure bliss. There's huge chunks of oxtail all throughout and each bite was such a pleasant harmony of flavors between the fresh green onions, tender oxtail bites, and steaming hot soy sauce bathed rice. I am obsessed. It was one of those meals that leave you smiling with every bite I look forward to returning, their brunch menu has a couple of unique entrees that id love to experience read more

I don't say this lightly--the food at Greyz Bistro is top notch. Every dish I tried felt like a thoughtful, flavorful surprise. The oxtail chicken sandwich? A brilliant fusion that I had no clue worked together. Tender, juicy, and packed with layers of flavor I just didn't see coming. The lobster fried rice was equally impressive--rich without being heavy, and filled with generous chunks of lobster that actually tasted fresh (a rare find). Even the vegetable spring rolls stood out--crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care and intent. It's a small space, but the vibe is welcoming and relaxed. It's not often I walk away from a meal truly impressed with the food, but Greyz delivered on all fronts. I'll definitely be back. read more

Greyz Bistro - Oxtail Chicken Sandwich with Truffle Fries - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I've tried several things from their menu thus far, their Thai side salad, mushroom & jerk pork bao buns and island pasta, but today, I just stopped in for a quick takeaway. The restaurant opens at 4 and I arrived just before 5 so there wasn't a wait. The space is small but still feels roomy with tables, chairs and bar seating as well as a cute little photo wall that is popular amongst brunch spots. I was helped by a server but saw the owner as he came out from the kitchen briefly as well. WOW. I've never had breadfruit fries before but now I'm a believer! Great flavor and texture, I wish there was more!! The Stylish Chicken Sandwich was great as well and as someone who normally doesn't go for chicken, I would order this again, as the fry batter really added a great flavor to it. I wish there were more additional toppings (oxtail, lettuce, sauce) on the bun as well. I would love to continue to explore their menu, specifically with their oxtail fried rice and brunch menu. Great new addition to the neighborhood! read more

Great food and great service I will tell all my friends and family. The server was kind. Thank you

Greyz Bistro is cute and has so much potential. The happy hour drinks were nice, i recall there was a rum punch and lemon drop. It was pretty clean, and we arrived at opening. We met the owner and chef. it was alone until more staff arrived. We had the boa buns seafood friend rice and the oxtail friend rice, which was scrumptious. I want to return for brunch. the service declined as more staff showed up to help. My friend would ask for more water, or napkins or a drink multiple times from different people before it finally arrived. I like the location and the size because it is great for intimate dinners or friend dates. read more

Sunday brunch well spent at Greyz Bistro. My friend from Florida shared an IG post and of course the foodie that I am decided let me check them out. Service was excellent greeted with a smile and customer service was on point. The chef stepped out and greeted us also which was a special moment. Cozy ambiance good for family and perfect for a brunch date. They say continue dating while married so of course my husband and I invest our time with brunch dates. Great spot in crown heights Brooklyn check them out if you're in the area the food and drink is definitely worth the visit, you will not be disappointed. read more

Don't let the small, minimalist dining room and decor fool you. This spot has a great staff, whom are friendly and make you feel individually welcomed. They have a bottomless drink option during brunch, $25 for 1 hour. I made sure to capitalize on that perk and you can get it spiked with Wray if you feel adventurous. Dee wore many hats, she was hostess, waitress, and made sure I was comfortable throughout my entire visit. The chef/owner came out and was equally as versed in customer service and helped make my overall experience that much better. The food was cooked throughly and with love. I enjoyed my entire meal. There is a small bar and a few tvs, in case you need to keep an eye on your favorite sporting event like me. 5/5. read more

The ambiance is relaxing with reggae playing in the background. The service was great, answering questions about things on the menu and the food is always on point. About the 5th time eating there, and it is always fresh and hot. No frozen food, no microwave. I had the fish sandwich, it was juicy, without being greasy, as were the fries. This is the best portobello mushroom burger I have ever had!! The chef is friendly and comes out and talks to the guests. This is the place to be!! The gourmet food is phenomenal!!! read more

- good service - 60 minute bottomless brunch on Sundays - jerk is spicy - I liked the 80s Rnb soundtrack - low key vibe - strawberry lemonade was good I feel it would be good with champagne - they showed the World Series ln the big screen - BOGO tacos on Tuesday - pork was good - shrimp was good - grilled vegetables were tasty read more

Greyz Bistro - Whole jerk chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Came for brunch with my wife and we really enjoyed ourselves. STAFF The chef/ host/ waitress were very friendly. They all came and checked on us throughout our meal to see if we needed anything. VIBES They had a live DJ. He played everything from Beres and Jah Cure to Tevin Campbell and Celine Dion. You know the vibes. I felt like I was at a stone love brunch lol MENU There were lots of great things on the menu so my wife and split up to try as much as we could lol. APPETIZERS My wife ordered the jerk pork bao buns which she loved. She said it was a little spicy, but she really liked the flavor. They used bacon or maybe it was pork belly (idk), but it was a really cool twist on jerk pork. It also was topped with a nice slaw. I order the sweet chili wings and they were nice and crispy and the sweet chili sauce was delicious. The wings also came with a slaw that was great too. We forgot to take photos before we at them all lol. ENTREES I had the ackee with shrimp and lobster. I'm not a big lobster person, but it sounded unique and I'm glad I ordered it. I'd definitely come back and get that again. There was even callaloo in there and I loved it. The combination of all the flavors were great . My meal came with festival and I'm not gonna lie that was some of the best festival I've ever had! I don't know how but the texture was like a mix of a festival and a fry dumpling. The chef back there doing magic lol. I need like 10 of those to go next time! I really liked my food and my wife did too because she kept stealing food from my plate. My wife ordered the fried chicken/oxtail sandwich. The fried chicken was juicy AND THE OXTAIL WAS SO GOOD! And they were not stingy with the oxtail at all. I was actually very surprised with how much oxtail was on there lol (IYKYK). It's a big sandwich too, so if you come really hungry this might be the one you want to order. And the sandwich came with breadfruit fries, which I was excited about because I love fried breadfruit. I love the cool twist they put on all my favorite things. DRINKS I actually wasn't drinking that day, but it was a pre-fixe menu so I ordered a drink anyway so my wife could try it. We got the wray & "niece" punch and the passion fruit mimosa. My wife liked them both, cuz she had a few glasses of each lol. They bring you your drink along with a small caraffe for refills. OVERALL It's a great place to do a group brunch or celebrate a birthday/milestone. I'm happy to see such a great new addition to the neighborhood. We'll also be back to try dinner for sure! No matter what you order, get some of the festival for the table! read more

Was very excited to try this new establishment but it was very underwhelming to say the least. Visited here on a Friday evening from the outside it looks pretty roomy inside but it isn't, the size is small seating for an average of 20 including the bar and the bar is also small I wouldn't recommend standing with a large group. Our server seemed alil overwhelmed. We waited almost 30 minutes for water, we reached there at 7:25 and was trying to some happy hour drinks in before it ending at 8pm. She came and took our order at 7:55. The rum punch was poorly made, it taste like straight wrey and nephew with a pinch of juice. The bao buns weren't what I thought they would be the pork belly was over cooked and the shrimp had way too much jerk seasoning the sauce on the plate taste like straight mayo. The tacos had way too much raw cabbage and the flavor was all over the place topped with pickled peppers I don't think were needed. We ordered the oxtail fried rice and after an hour of waiting never received it. When asked for the check they charged us for it and they didn't realize we never got it. I had high hopes for this restaurant but it didn't even meet the minimum expectations I had set. read more

Best restaurant experience I've had in a long time! A weeknight impromptu date led us to this AMAZING restaurant! With the IG food critics its hard to find a great culinary experience thats not camaflouged in unnecessary sauce, flower walls, and smoking drinks. Walking in it was bright and calm, warm, and welcoming. Music yes, but I could still a conversation at the table and speak with the chef about the menu Here you can taste the food. We ordered two mixed drinks, Mango Lemon Drop and Greyz Punch - their version of Rum Punch. Both were a hit! There was a perfect match and mix of alcohol and juice mix. Not too heavy on either. The menu was not overwhelming! The small plates tied into the appetizers and the appetizers tied into the main courses. Clearly a cultivated menu, staying in theme with the fusion style nature of the restaurant. We ordered general tso wings and shrimp scampi! Both were great! The wings were glazed and not drenched with the right amount of spice and a hint of heat. But that scampi from beginning to end was delectable. The pasta was fresh! The shrimp were colossal and NOT overcooked! Tomatoes perfectly blistered! With the perfect cream sauce consistency! It was great. Finally, the KIMCHI KOREAN BURGER! talk about doing something your way and it being a HIT! This burger was cooked to the proper temp! I thiught the Kimchi and coleslaw would be overbearing...NOPE! It was the perfect pairing. I didnt need to add one thing to the sandwich! Everything was 100/10 This carribean asian fusion restaurant reignites a food lovers dream of being able to TASTE the food. No smoke and mirrors. Lots of good vibes and passion mixed in each dish! GREYZ was an unexpected delight and we can't wait to go back read more

Greyz Bistro - Korean Kimchi Burger - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After seeing this restaurant pop up on my IG feed several times, I decided to give it a try. Here is my honest review. Ambiance: Lacking effort. The music playlist was good but the setup is tight in the small establishment. Additionally the dark paint in a small space does not fit. Drinks: The rum punch was not good. It tasted like Alcohol with red 40. No fruit flavor at all. There are tons of rum punch recipes you can incorporate onto your own. Food: Bao Buns were mushy. The meat inside was ok. The presentation needs work. Tacos were messy. The shrimp was too crunchy and the sauce tasted store bought. Service: There was 1 young lady serving about 15 guests. She was pleasent however, She needed support. Basic service etiquette was lacking. We had to ask for water several times. We got food with no silverware and had to ask. Drinks took a long time. We had to ask for a bill adjustment. A man came to table to apologize however I don't know if he was a manger/ owner or what because he didn't introduce himself. He offered a free rum punch on our next visit as compensation. SMH. Unfortunately I will not be returning because this visit was not worth the time or money spent and left nothing to justify a return visit. read more

Fabulous place. Less than a year old, this restaurant has already created such a clear identity. The Caribbean-asian fusion comes together smoothly to create flavors I'd never experienced together before (the jerk chicken stuffed oxtail was a personal favorite) . Our overall experience was lovely, very nice staff, nice ambiance, and we even got to meet the chef on our way out. Well worth a trip to crown heights for this exciting new eatery. Great looking brunch menu as well. read more

Greyz Bistro - Various appetizers - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

After seeing Greyz Bistro on Instagram, I decided this would be the perfect place to take my mother for dinner to celebrate her birthday. We were a party of 4 and was met with a warm welcome by the waitress. The restaurant is quaint, but had enough seating for various party sizes. Our order included: oxtail fried rice, lobster fried rice, guava glazed salmon, curry goat patties, chicken wings, and two kinds of fries--breadfruit and regular. Everyone enjoyed their entrees which had a balance of spice and flavors. The portions were generous (at least to my standards = ). I very much enjoyed the salmon which was perfectly cooked. The breadfruit fries was so delightful.. such a innovative idea! My least favorite dish was the curry goat patties. It was missing "oomph" and the accompanied sauce didn't add anything. Maybe a coconut curry sauce may have worked better. All in all, I would return to try other things on their menu or their brunch. Kudos to the chef and owner who came over to our table to thank us for dining. read more

Five stars all around for the amazing drinks & food, quick service, & cozy ambiance. The ginger lemonade (mocktail) was so delicious that we got another one with rum. Chef Cheese was warm, humble, and welcoming. He even surprised us with a complimentary dessert outside of the current menu. We enjoyed our meal so much that we ordered a grilled Jerk Chicken Sandwich to take home. Overall we had an amazing experience from start to finish. Happy 1-year anniversary to Greyz Bistro! Wishing you many more successful years ahead. read more

New to the neighborhood, this Caribbean gem shouldn't be missed. With a modern decor and delicious food this will become a staple for us. Our waitress Valentina was attentive and made sure our drinks were never empty! We enjoyed the Jerk Pork Bao Buns, which were just the right blend of sweet and spicy with the buns a spongey consistency. For our entrees, we enjoyed the Chicken & Bailey's Waffles, moist on the inside and the perfect level of crunch . We had the signature Stylish Chicken Sandwich, and no wonder it's his signature sandwich it was flavorful and the breadfruit fries were amazing. Live music topped off the perfect Caribbean atmosphere. Come check out Greyz, you won't regret it. read more

The food, atmosphere, music and staff is a whole vibe!!! Everything was delicious. I felt welcomed and like family and will definitely be going back. The menu was affordable for a family of 6 and not overpriced and everything was tasty, hot out the oven and the wait time was reasonable. The chef did his thing...hats off to the chef and staff. Even though the chef is Jamaican I was very pleased that the menu was not the ordinary jamaican staples and he incorporated an Asian fusion to the menu. read more

Loved the drinks!! The Bellini was pretty strong! Also got the island pasta and that was a hit! I would give it a 8/10 for a solid "Rasta pasta" type dish for the flavor, and the generous colossal shrimp. I know it's super simple but the garlic bread was so addicting...uhm can we get a basket of those please! Next time I would try the Guava salmon but they were out of salmon :( I'm always a huge fan of supporting new businesses in BK, especially the Caribbean community and this one did not miss. read more

Guess what? I won a free tasting at Greyz Bistro! I was a backup winner, so there were three initial winners, but one person had to cancel, and I got their spot. I just went to the tasting yesterday, and it was a review of his new menu. What can I say it was the best food I've ever tasted, and I'm not joking! I felt like I was in a five-star Michelin restaurant. The arugula salad with goat cheese was the first course, followed by a duck breast with black cherries, oxtail ravioli, snapper with lavender beurre blanc which I devoured and I don't even eat fish! After the snapper we had grilled wagyu with scallop potatoes and finished it off with wild berry panna cotta with rum cake crumble. AMAZING The food was so breathtaking and I can honestly say I had a food orgasm. The chef was so knowledgeable and attentive to all his dishes, talking about each course. Everything was A1. I think everyone should experience this restaurant at least once in their life. It was a different kind of feeling when I went there, eating exquisite food and just relaxing. It was phenomenal. I don't know how many times I could've thanked him. He paid attention to every meal, making everything to order right there and bringing it out. I would definitely go back. I'm trying to figure out when the next time is because I live in New Jersey, and I made it my mission to come out here to Brooklyn. Even before I won the tasting, I was always trying to get to that restaurant because of all the online reviews, the food, and the brunches he has on the weekends made me want to go. I love Caribbean dishes, and we barely have any good ones out here in New Jersey, so I was satisfied all night. Oh, and the dessert!!! I don't even know how to describe it, but it was just so delicious. It was a rum cake with blackberries and some kind of custard, layered with rum cake, custard, rum, cake, custard, and blackberries on top. I don't eat rum cake, but I finished that dessert and really wanted to lick the inside of the cup. Everything was so phenomenal, and he truly deserves all the success he's achieving. I'm wishing him all the best in his future restaurant ventures. Not many people are aware of this restaurant, and what he can do in the kitchen--like he does--is truly amazing, almost like he's been blessed with God-gifted hands. Thank you so much for an experience I will never forget! read more

to be honest I hope you guys don't find this gem and it stays hidden because i've never eaten food like this. Calling Chris a chef would be a disservice to his craft this man is an artist and i've never had food this amazing. we had the lobster rolls; wow. no words. 15/10. ceviche. i've never had ceviche like this in my life and I actually had to ask where he went to culinary school because what the hell. everything here is delicious. i've had the jerk chicken entree, the escovitch fish sandwich, the bao buns.. yo the wings?! on a serious note, this was an amazing dining experience with great music and great service. he made this homemade rum raisin ice cream and I had to leave because i've never had ice cream like that ever and I don't even like rum raisin and he made me a fan! I hope Keith Lee doesn't find this place for real but this place is blessed and I hope you blow up because Brooklyn deserves to try this food.

This spot has been on my gotta try list for a while and I finally did it. The space is small in size but big in energy which you feel upon entering. I ordered the chicken sandwich, the oxtail fried rice, and the ceviche.

The fried rice was extremely flavorful and had a hint of sweetness to it that I loved. The ceviche had a nice kick to it. Everything was magnificent and the service was 5 star.
