Curried Chicken Rice & PeasRice Steam cabbage Fried Plantains (4-6pcs)
Rehnuma K.

0/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 0/1 Service; 1/1 Value My friend and I wanted to try Karibbean Krave after seeing their $4.99 bag on TooGoodToGo, so we reserved/paid in advance and went to pick up the bags. We were surprised to see how big the restaurant is inside with a massive bar, giant TVs for sporting games, a fog machine for some reason, and blasting music on a Friday evening. My friend and I could barely hear each other at times. It was quite a hassle to pick up just two bags: we were sent from place to place, and ended up waiting around 35 minutes for a meal that the restaurant knew we had placed in advance. Even if we had ordered then and there, 35 minutes is quite a wait. To top it off, the waitress was rather rude and brash. I was not a fan of the fog or blasting music since I started experiencing palpitations towards the end as I waited for so long in an environment not suitable for myself (normally I would not assess the ambiance for a quick takeout order, but since we were waiting so long inside, it felt appropriate to). They also packaged the food oddly, i.e. one box's lid clearly did not fit, so they just wrapped it in a ton of plastic wrap. Considering there was a curry inside, a warning might have been nice to be very careful during transport. When we finally got the food, we were impressed by the very generous portion and a part of that was of course the discounted rate from the app. Our platters came with a big serving of rice and peas, steamed cabbage, plantains, and chicken curry. I did not enjoy the plantains, which did not have so much flavor and tasted very stale. The rice and peas with the chicken curry was delightful on the other hand! The meat was so tender and savory due to the rich, warm spices in the curry, and the rice and peas were well seasoned, albeit a little clumpy. The veggies were lightly seasoned and very fresh, and still retained a nice crunch. The food was rather good, especially for the price we paid, but I don't think I would return for regular price given the negatives of the experience unfortunately.

So, I stumbled upon this restaurant on my way home from work. I took a different route and happened to walk past and take a peak inside. It was still early when I stopped by, so I decided to come back on the weekend to sit and eat. I still ended up coming pretty early (5pm) in which the restaurant was empty, and I was the only patron inside besides the staff. A few people trickled in and sat at the bar, but the weather was also pretty bad, so I can see why there were more takeout orders than patrons. The restaurant has a big bar area with a great selection of signature cocktails and frozen drinks. The seating is also pretty nice and spacious. There are large screen TVs in the bar area for the sports lovers and Jamaican music blaring from the speakers. They also do a brunch and day party on the weekends, which I might have to stop by for. I ordered the fried shrimp which the entrees don't come with anything so you have to order the sides separately which I didn't care for. I had fried shrimp, rice & peas, and Mac & cheese. I also had a Hennessey colada, which was the highlight of my meal :) The shrimp was a little oily and not as crispy as I would have liked. The peas and rice didn't have that carribean flair, but they topped it with some stew chicken gravy, which gave it flavor because it was lacking, and I've had better Mac & cheese. Visually, the mac & cheese looked good but not something I would order again. I wasn't wowed by the food but still had a pleasurable experience. I would stop by for their brunch/ day party just to see what it's hitting for ... .

The food was delicious. We came after lunchtime and the servise was so fast that I was ordering a drink the food came. The Ambiance is buitiful awsome music and it makes me feel like in Jamaca.

For a business that opened long after the pandemic started, they're not doing too bad. Dine in only for now. As some one who lived in the Caribbean for a few years, I can say that their flavors are legit. I tired the curry chicken with with rice n peas, and plantains. They're a little pricey, but I wouldn't call it a bad deal. Just be prepared to spend $13 for a reasonable amount of food.

The team at the door is organized and makes the whole check-in process simple, which already sets a positive tone for the night. Inside, the staff was friendly, responsive, and handled everything with a calm, professional attitude.

If you're looking for a chill place with respectful service and a smooth atmosphere, this is definitely worth stopping by.

Can you imagine being accused of presenting a fake ID in your 30s? Well I don't have to imagine…read morebecause that's what happened when I visited Bar47. I see why this place has such low reviews, the common sense and customer service are nonexistent here, so I suggest everyone avoid this place and go somewhere where your money is valued. A friend suggested this place and I should have spent my Friday night elsewhere after a long week, after this gross and terrible experience. I presented my ID 4 different times and closed out my tab after I consumed 1 $18 drink, and my real out of state ID was put under a microscope. Additionally, another customer has the same Florida ID I had and the bartenders were comparing both!! The same ID I used to get on a flight. Are you telling me a US Government agency can't detect a fake, and a small bar in the Bronx can? After the 4th and final time, the (Andre L & team) bartenders told me to wait for the manager to come and resolve this issue. Why would I waste more of my time after my night was ruined to further "resolve" this non-issue? The pride flag out in front is clearly not representative of their all-inclusivity if they're accusing a Black woman of using a fake ID.

1 Star Came in…read morebefore 9:00 PM on a Friday evening, in very cold weather, expecting a relaxing night after a long week. Unfortunately, the experience turned into unnecessary stress. Upon arrival, management informed us they had no cook and no staff available and were unsure if anyone would be coming in due to an impending storm. For context, the storm was not expected until Sunday. There was no one available to serve drinks or hookah, and we were advised to leave, eat elsewhere, and come back. When we returned later that evening (still before 11:00 PM), we asked for hookah and were quoted $43. I showed them their Instagram story posted just a few hours earlier advertising promotional pricing valid before 11 PM. Despite this, they refused to honor their own posted promotion. Between the lack of staffing, poor communication, and refusal to honor advertised pricing, this was a very disappointing experience. I came to unwind and instead left frustrated. This reflects poorly on management and overall business practices.

We went on Wednesday night for my boyfriend's birthday & had the best time!!! Our waitress and the…read moremanager were so sweet and accommodating with anything we asked for, they definitely did a great job helping us celebrate. Food was good, drinks were great and the hookah's are $25 before 11pm!! 10/10 recommend and it's beautiful on the inside, bring cash definitely!!
