Large jerk chicken with cabbage and curry potatoes
Erik J.

I go to this place every month or so. I'd go more often if it were more accessible and in a better location. Dont expect friendly service, they're ok just not service conscious. I dont mind because I go for the food & it never disappoints. Huge portions too. If you don't mind the hassle of getting there, I recommend it.

came back a second time for their jerk chicken & must i say!! i love love love love the spicy & barbecue jerk sauce!! it pairs well with their jerk chicken! i paid 27$ for 3 sides of jerk chicken!

I got an oxtail meal from here and it was pretty tasty! The green beans were pretty good. I could literally eat their green beans all the time ...green beans with a side of green beans. They are not stingy with the food! I'd encourage everyone to go here as I've been to other places and none of those places compare. The young lady working was super pleasant and made sure that I was in and out. The wait wasn't long at all. I also got some friend wings with jerk sauce. I probably won't get those again but they weren't nasty in flavor just not what I was expecting. The reason why I took away 1 star is because the website did not reflect what was in the restaurant. So, my bill was more than what I was expecting. Like the price for the wings were almost double what was on the website. Other than that, i still think the food/portions was worth the price. This place is a must try.

I haven't been here in so many years. I remember this being a good island food spot. My husband recently picked up food from here. Stewed chicken and oxtail dinners. The chicken was so dry it wasn't really edible. My mom kept trying to eat it but after chewing it up she'd have to spit it out. We called them about it & they made it right with us. My mom was able to pick up a replacement the next day. She said the remake was good. As for our oxtails, they were tender & tasted good but I wasn't loving the sides. Didn't taste any coconut milk or thyme or anything in the rice & peas. I wasn't ready for the cabbage to have the peas & carrots in it. That's just my preference. To each their own. I'd prefer steamed cabbage without them. And the jerk chicken wasn't really spicy. It might be spicy to other people. The food isn't worth going out of our way to buy again.

Have always had the best meals in the city from this place. My comfort, my go-to. I would eat every day if I could.

Wow!!! Fantastic I work nearby and all everyone talks about is this place. Kind of understandable, as there aren't many restaurants nearby. But this joint was worth the hype and then some. Absolute best jerk chicken I've had. Yes, better than the famous place down the road and cheaper too. Service was fast and friendly. They have a decent lunch crowd. The food is all fresh with certain items made to order. They have jerk chicken, curry, meat patties, and more. The sides were phenomenal! Best cabbage from any jerk chicken place I've been to. So glad my co workers invited me to come. I have a feeling this will be our go to lunch spot.

I've eaten here before, so the next time I was in Columbus I made sure I stopped. The food is as good as always. The only complaint I have if they were out of curry goat, other than that the food is phenomenal spiced well Curry chicken, jerk chicken, red beans and rice, plantains. If you're ever in Columbus and want some Caribbean food, make sure you stop here

Flavor is crazy. The cabbage is very good. The oxtails are some of the best. I found it because Ena's was closed. Glad I did

We had a great experience at Cilantro. Our waitress Maria was polite and timely at every step. And…read moreeverything that she brought to the table was great. From my mojito and Tostones Playeros shareable to the breakfast menu's Salchipapas, I thoroughly enjoyed everything. (Well, except for the pork belly on the Salchipapas as I find it too fatty regardless of who makes it. But even after setting the large chunks of pork belly to the side, the Salchipapas were still filling and delicious. The fries had the perfect crispness) My wife got coffee, which was free with her Calentado Breakfast entree. You can choose your protein on the dish, and my wife chose the same andouille sausage that was on my Salchipapas, so you already know that it' was good! Protip: get sides of the Cilantro sauce and spicy sauce to go with your order. They make a good thing better. Inside, the green-themed decor is evident without belaboring the point. There's a stage as well for nighttime entertainment, so there's no shortage of reasons to enjoy your trip to Cilantro.

I am obsessed with this place. If I could come here every day I would. The food is so good. The…read moreservice is absolutely amazing. And the ambience is so nice. I highly recommend you check it out and when you do make sure you also get a dessert because it's some of the best desserts I've ever had. https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZThy72V7d/

The owner was really sweet!…read more I explained that I have never had Haitian food before and wanted to try it out and she took her time to explain the menu! When I say the hospitality was top tier! There was a tv with music playing it wasn't too loud neither! One thing I love about small business they really care about their customers! I WILL BE RETURNING! Felt welcomed and was greeted with a smile and conversation! Restaurant was clean and smelled so good! Prices are fairly priced! I go the chicken stew fried pork chops Mac and cheese and mixed veggies also a Haitian soda and it was $63! Food was so delicious! Will update once I get home to try the food but I couldn't help but sit down and write this review while I wait because huni the owner did it for me!!!! COME AND CHECK HER OUT! OMG THE FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! I eat the fried pork chops with the Kim chi on top and babyyyyyyyy it didn't disappoint it has a little heat or spice to it! the chicken legs and that orange sauce was sooooo good! Loved both rice and the Mac and cheese was good too now that drink taste like cream soda and it was delicious too! My fience and I are sitting here super full and both can't move! So glad we got a chance to try her restaurant out! WE WILL BE BACK TO TRY SOMETHING NEW and she also gave us the patties to try and we liked the beef patties the best! The chicken was good but that beef patty we wanted more!!!! She is on DoorDash also!!!

I truly enjoyed my experience here. I tried half dozen of the beef patties and I'm regretting not…read moregetting the mixed dozen. This is my first encounter with haitian patties but surely won't be my last. I prefer it compared to their Jamaican counterpart as it's lighter. Just FYI, their spicy beef version is something that she made to order, so you can call first or wait abit for the spicy beef. Owner is very accommodating and kind which is always a plus! There's like 3 or 4 seats but it's mostly takeout operation. If you like spicy, ask for their pickleez (sorry if I'm not spelling it correctly), spicy slaw to dump on ur patties. Great stuff and worth my 30+ minutes drive!
