Jerk Wings
ChiChi A.

Food was ok! Stew chicken- needed more sauce for me but the chicken was tender! Beef patties- family said they were amazing !!!!! Jerk chicken wings- definitely wish I had more because they didn't make it home Overall the food was actually pretty good, will definitely try it again. The place as decorated nicely but she could definitely use some help with service.

Chicken stew

Haven't had Jamaican food in awhile! Might be 10 years lol but since I've tried Mama Shers, I fell in love with it all over again! This is a cute little spot with limited seatings. They have a full menu with all of the best Jamaican dishes! My friend suggested the chicken stew and it did not disappoint! I loved every bite of it, it was just so flavorful. Everyone there were super kind, from the guy who took our order over the phone, to the guy making smoothies and to the lady who made sure everyone there was getting helped. I def wanna come back to try the curry goat and perhaps the oxtail!

I was in the mood for curry shrimp and decided to try this location. I called in my order of the curry shrimp with rice and peas and cabbage. They said it would take 45 minutes because it is made to order. When I arrived I found parking on the street and walked in. The nice man came out and the food wasn't ready yet. I waited another 20 minutes or so. When it was done I paid about $19 for the small and left. When I got home I dug in and the food was very good. There was plenty of food as well. The experience I had was good and I would return.

Oxtail with rice, plantains and cabbage

If you're in the mood for a good Jamaican food spot, this is the place to go! I got the medium serving size of oxtails, rice and plantains. You know it's going to be good when the oxtails just slide off the bone. When you mix the meat with the rice and plantains, oh my goodness, don't hesitate, just get yourself here and try it. Yes, add the cabbage as well.

It's a nice hole in the wall place in the middle of nowhere Union. I love Caribbean food.. more so Trinidadian food... so thought I'd try this place. The Curry Chicken Patty was mild for my palate so no sure how spicy the Curry Chicken Roti lunch will be. ‍ I wish there were more places in Jersey selling Doubles!! I love that shiz!!

Oxtails
Marie N.

The goat curry and chicken curry were soooo good! The jerk chicken wings were yummy as well. The portion sizes were excellent and definitely worth the money. I took a star away because I wasn't crazy about the oxtails or the wait time. They gave us the flat round pieces none were exceptionally large, nor seasoned as well as the curry but there was a good amount for the large order. The wait time was definitely long but when I finally got to taste the food I wasn't disappointed at all!

Small portions, overpriced, and poor communication. Expectations were not met. Won't be returning.

Golden Krust Caribbean Restaurant - Curry Chicken Patty

Excellent flavors! I first tried their beef patties about 20 years ago when I worked at the VA in…read moreEast Orange. The canteen sold them and I was instantly impressed. About 15 years later, they opened a spot just a mile from my house. At first, they had some growing pains so I ghosted for a few years. Recently, a friend told me they'd eaten there and liked it, so I figured why not?! For lunch, hubs and I shared a Spicy Beef Patty, a Curry Chicken Patty, and a Curry Goat Roti. Everything came out tasty, hot, and fresh, especially the roti, which came in a clamshell container. The roti was flaky and comforting, kind of like a Jamaican take on a chicken pot pie but with way more personality. Inside, the curry goat was ridiculously good. It had slow-cooked depth, tender meat, potatoes, and carrots and a layered sauce that tasted like turmeric, other warm spices, and a touch of smoke. It was fucking delicious! While there were a lot of bones (it's goat, after all), there was still a ton of meat and it fed me twice. This place is fast casual. You might have to wait up to twenty minutes for some dishes, but that time buys you flavor. I'm officially back on board. That curry goat roti? The real GOAT: Greatest of All Taste. ;) I'm already planning what to try next. Long live Jamaica! ONE LOVE. NOTES/TIPS: **Shared plaza parking lot with high turnover. Easy. **Wheelchair-accessible: bathroom, parking, entrance, seating area. Ramp. **On Yelp, Door Dash, GrubHub, UberEats, Seamless. **Eat-in or take out. **D&G Root Beer is a must!

If you want Jamaican breakfast food they got it! I often want ackee and saltfish and callaloo and…read moresalt fish and plantain. And that's what you see. They also have dumpling, boiled banana and fried dumpling as well if that's what you want. I've also seen them carry okra and saltfish I believe but I'm not a fan of okra. The ackee and saltfish is amongst my favorite. Right alongside the callaloo and saltfish. They give nice size portions for the price and it's delicious. Not too salty. And it I is a little oily but not a lot. There are also small small bones in some of the pcs of saltfish as well. Overall, every chance I get to eat this from here I do! Give it a try.
