Stopped by for late Sunday lunch with wife and the place was POPPIN'!…read more I. ATMOSPHERE (5/5) This place had night club vibes on a broad daylight, and I'm not complaining. It had this loungey vibe with gold and dark blue tones and selective dimming that gave an upscale yet inviting and friendly vibe. Nice large bar with screens of sports and news for patrons and good music. I'm for it. II. FOOD (5/5) Yo this place ain't joking. Hard to find fresh veggies, but they had some. Peach and Strawberry Sweet Tea were great, though definitely sweet. Peach was slightly more refreshing for what was to come. Cornbread (APP, $9, 5/5) - Some of the best cornbread all around. Big but moist with decent crumbling, and so good with homemade strawberry jam. Cornerstone of the meal here. It's BIG so you can definitely share. Somehow it was even better the next day(?!) Sweet T's Fried Shrimp (APP, $19, 5/5) - Perfectly breaded and fried golden brown without being too heavy, this one was surprisingly delicious with the dips. Very good reco from our server. Fresh Baby Kale, Pear, and Goat Cheese Salad (APP, $14, 4/5) - Very much needed some sprinkling of greens. Pretty good though portion could be a bit larger. Catfish Nuggets (APP, $16, 3/5) - This one we didn't care too much for. Bit salty, one-dimensional. Stone Ground Cheddar Cheese Grits (APP, $10, 5/5) - ROCKET SHIP! This was literally the BEST GRITS I've ever eaten, and I've eaten enough to fill a bath tub! Wow! It had the perfect level of buttery, robust deep cheddar flavor with bits of crispy bites within, creamy smooth texture, right level of seasoning, and crazy level of addictiveness. I found myself rationing it with every other item on the table. WHAT?! I could write an essay on this one but it is ridiculously good I would come back again and again just to eat this. Grits done well, y'all. Grits done well living his best life, right here. Just writing about it makes me drool. III. SERVICE (5/5) I forgot about service because I was writing about 'em grits but our server lady was pleasant, made great recos, and took our money. So she was good! The place just oozes with neighborly homey charm, and there were repeat diners telling us this here is what's up, so a great sign. I really enjoyed Sweet T's a lot more than I thought I would. Its great southern food, special vibe and attentive service all combine to be a winning neighborly combination here in Teaneck. Show them some love and eat 'em grits. You won't regret it.

After I tasted my meal I realized it definitely didn't need gravy. The grits were creamy and the fish was golden and crispy. My sister had the yams, mac and cheese and fish. Everything was delish. Service was amazing and the owner is always pleasant. The aesthetic is very chic and classy so it's a nice place to do date night. The cost is comparable to similar restaurants.

I was looking for something different and this place popped up, so i took a drive to Garfield…read more Heads up, it's not where your gps brings you to, it's around the corner on the cross street. Stepped in and was greeted by the nicest lady who immediately offered me a sip of their "uptown" drink - a mix of iced tea and lemonade. It was quite tasty. That was just the beginning of the warmth that this establishment exuded, they were super nice and friendly. They asked my name, but I forgot to ask theirs. As I waited for my food, she began bringing me samples of the sides and desserts. She had me sample the banana pudding (she asked first if I ate bananas) - this was super flavorful of banana, as another review said, not just vanilla pudding with some sliced bananas in it. Beyond that, she brought me a little piece of frosted banana bread, a dense, rich flavorful lemony cake, and a frosted pound cake. The lemony one was my favorite. Next came a bit of sweet potatoes, with huge flavor that I haven't really experienced before in a dish like this. She also let me try the mac and cheese (great spices in it!) and collard greens (tastes just how you expect!), as well as one of their "French fries" which is a round slice of potato, really good and so much more interesting than normal fries. She brought this out with her rib sauce to taste/dip, which was also good. She also had some great conversation about boxing and bringing the neighborhood together. When I got my food, it was bursting out of the takeout container and she had to use a rubber band to keep it closed. The cutlery set came with A dumdum lollipop and a piece of bubble gum as well. I ordered: 2 piece fried chicken - leg and thigh with mac and cheese and collard greens and cornbreak. They also added a few fries in, coleslaw, and hot sauce. The chicken was tasty, but the pieces were huge! The cornbread was dense and sweet, delicious. The coleslaw was super creamy. I'll be back and I'd encourage anyone nearby to check it out.

I am sure I missed a few other things. I have also used them for some catering also. So if you are just have a small gathering you should call 14 Parish Caribbean Kitchen.

THE GOOD ----------------…read more+ Food served here is solid. ++++ Lunch Special BBQ Chicken with Caggage & Potatoes + Jerk Chicken with Fried Plantains & Mac & Cheese were all tasty. Lots of good flavors on all of it. ++++ Lunch Specials have good variety to choose from + 2 sides - fried chicken, jerk chicken, baked chicken, BBQ chicken, etc. ++++ Lunch Specials are $10 (as of January 2026), but some items are $1ish more. + Noticed that the dinner special portions are definitely A LOT larger, but they are also pricier. + Plenty of seating inside. + Private parking lot in the back of the restaurant.

Someone will call your order when it is ready. I ended up getting chicken wing lunch special ($10) which comes with three wings and two sides. For my sides I got the collard greens and Mac & cheese. The portion for the sides is really big and for $10, it's a really good meal deal. The wings were solid, crispy and juicy. Overall, solid meal. I will be back to try the jerk chicken lunch special. I wouldn't say go out your way to get the wings but if you're around the area especially during lunch hours and want soul food, this is the place. * Free parking in back * Metered street parking * Good lunch special deal * a lot of dessert options

We've been wanting to try the fish special for a while, but it's probably not an experience we'll be willing to repeat given there's no way to place an advance order to cut down on the wait time.

First time trying Culcha. I called ahead for my order as there's only 2 seats inside so I knew we…read morecouldn't eat there. Ordered 2 oxtail meals, 2 fried chicken meals, a chicken pasta, order of plantains & 2 detox drinks. The chicken pasta was good; it was definitely the best tasting out of what we ordered. The chicken wasn't cut off of the bone as I had expected it to be but, once I pulled everything apart & mixed it all together, it was tasty. The oxtail was just ok, not the flavoring I'm used to but edible. Because the oxtail gravy was poured over the rice (on all dishes), the rice wasn't the best either; cabbage was fine. The fried chicken had no flavor surprisingly & wasn't crispy. I wasn't able to sub the rice for french fries which may have made the meal better. Plantains only included 5 pieces but they tasted fine. Detox drinks tasted as expected. I mentioned I called my order in - it took a total of 44 minutes from the time I placed the call to when the food was ready, just to give an idea of how long it takes to make your food so, don't show up early!

Culcha Caribbean Cuisine 183 Belmont Ave…read more Haledon, NJ 07508 Pina Colada Oxtail Beff Patty Oxtail with Mac and Cheese Jerk Chicken You may be present be in Haledon NJ, but as soon as you explore this Jamaican cuisine you will feel as if you are dining on the island of Jamaica. Owner Ralston, Manager Bianca and the cooks welcomed me into their take out restaurant where I indulged in a variety of homemade dishes. Pina Colada : The frozen, slushy drink with a splash of rum chilled me to the core. It was quite refreshing; and if you are under 21, you can always have a virgin pina colada. Oxtail Beff Patty: This patty was stuffed with both tender oxtail and beef while the flaky, outer crust had a light crunch. Oxtail with Mac and Cheese: Of course, I can never get enough oxtail, which is why I couldn't resist having it as a platter. The macaroni and cheese was loaded with cheddar and quite cheesy. Jerk Chicken: The juicy jerk chicken has the perfect combination of fire and heat. You can never get enough jerk sauce with one of my favorite Jamaican entrees. Feel free to lavishly pour the jerk sauce on the entire plate; and save room for the cabbage. As a bonus, this location also has a Jamaican market where you can purchase freshly made juices, frozen beef patties, and homemade ice cream with unique flavors ranging from coconut to grapenut. As another bonus, there is a fancy dining area with a bar and lounge. Feel free to show up for date night or the room can be rented out as an event space for parties, anniversaries or other memorable events. I had a truly great experience exploring this take out spot. When I next return, I'm spicing it up to explore the fancy dining hall. #Culcha #caribbeancuisine #jamaicanfood #pinacolada #patty #oxtailbeefpatty #jerkchicken #eats #foodreview #localspots #njfoodie #foodstagram
