First of all the owner is the sweetest !! She answered all of our questions and the food was so good. Def try the jerk chicken patties. The jerk and hot sauce were my fav. Definitely has a kick. Rice and beans were my fav. We tried the vegan oxtails and shrimp roti (vegan) and it was delicious. I definitely want to go back and have the meat entrees. Go check this place out!!

Celebrating my birthday at Pigeon Peas was, without a doubt, the most beautiful and memorable dining experience I've ever had. We were a large group--8 adults, 4 children, and an infant--and from the moment we walked through the doors you are not greeted as a customer but as an essential part of the heart and soul of the establishment. The warmth, the energy, the cultural richness--it felt like home. You can feel the love the moment you step inside. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible owner, her daughter, and the extended family in the kitchen who prepared our food with so much care. Every grain of jollof rice, every perfectly fried piece of plantain, every dish--it was all made with love. The fusion of Nigerian and St. Lucian flavors is nothing short of magic. I ordered the lentil and pumpkin patties along with the Naija bowl, and my family raved about the oxtail, jollof rice, curry shrimp, and pineapple ginger drink. And then came the smoothie... turmeric, mango, banana, and black pepper--made as a birthday complement. I am not a fan of smoothies, but this one? Hands down the best I've ever had. They even played a birthday song for me, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I'm still glowing with love and gratitude a day later. Pigeon Peas has made my birthday so special, and I'll never forget it. Even though it's a long drive for me, I will absolutely be back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my celebration so full of joy, love, and unforgettable flavors. With deepest gratitude.

Full disclosure, it's been a couple weeks so I'm not sure what we got but it was delicious and I am dying to go back. The parking lot was chaos. If you can't find parking, be patient, it'll be worth it!. It was a little pricey but also worth it. I'm also willing to go back despite all the unnecessary plastic.

I have been to this establishment 3 times and I keep forgetting to write a review. I am not from the area but I have to say this community is very lucky to have this gem!! The food is delicious and the staff is great. Both Judy and I believe the young lady was Isabel( sorry if I forgot) were nothing but professional and helpful with making selections. Reasonable prices and great portions. My fave are the Pattie's very filling! To the owners I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you are around forever!!

I was in the area on a Sunday and wanted some clean tasty food to try. I found this place (where else) on Yelp. I eat chicken and fish but have been venturing into more vegan. I wondered if this place could measure up to the hype (the grand reviews) about Caribbean flavor and being vegan. I took a chance! I ordered the vegan chicken patty and it was tasty. Just enough flavor. Temp-wise I just needed it hotter. I also ordered the vegan jerk kabobs. They are made with mushrooms. It had just the right amount of spice & flavor. Quite filling as there was a lot. It came with fries as a side. The young girl at the cash register was patient, kind and attentive. Nice little pop into spot in Bloomfield if you're looking for some hardy yet clean Caribbean food.

Wait time: 7/10 (take out at 10pm) Service: 8/10 Food: 4/10 Ambience: small, family, Caribbean Price point: 6/10 Would return: not sure/ probably not I was really hoping to like their food based on a review I saw however...... I got the oxtail and jerk chicken and Popeye juice. The oxtail was o and k. Nothing to call home about and the quantity for the amount paid was an insult. The rice and peas... well it's honestly the worst we've ever had, which pains me to say. The jerk chicken wings (which was posted as a special, yet I paid the same price as the regular jerk chicken meal ‍) was more of bbq chicken than jerk chicken. There was no jerk at all. But for bbq taste was o and k. The cabbage... it was not tasty at all. Idk what seasoning they used, but nah, definitely wasn't it. The plantains were not that great either. The best thing was the Popeye purple juice. Perhaps their vegetarian options are better.

Finally a vegan restaurant that have multiple options . I ordered the vegan oxtails and it was decent.

i'm not vegan, but i have no problem transitioning diets if this what i can eat! this afro caribbean vegan fusion spot is the best. perfect for those who actually consume vegan/vegetarian diet & amazing to those who don't. i spent the first ten minutes in disbelief. i couldn't believe i wasn't eating jerk chicken, or a beef patty, or even the oxtails, and then the bbq skewers... what do you mean it's all oyster mushrooms??! a must try! even the macaroni pie was good, and we all know that's something you don't order from a Caribbean restaurant. it was creamy and "cheesy"! i still don't know how they achieved the cheese melt but they did. check them out! you won't be disappointed. i only had one comment, but its for the beyond burger- who eats those anyways?

Vegan oxtail (mushroom) with cabbage, rice and peas, and plantains. Yummy

I had the vegan oxtails. No, I am not vegan. I just wanted to try. It was DELICIOUS. I would recommend it. Flavorful and great portion size. I need to try other dishes.

After looking through UberEats for a Vegan meal, I notice Vegan Ox Tail as an option for Pigeon Peas. I call in immediately to receive confirmation the menu option is correct and real. The meal travels VERY well. I eat the meal between two days. The Ox Tail really tastes like Ox Tail (even feeling so texturally). My mom even confirms the Ox Tail is good. She's questioning Vegan food ingredients more so now because of how authentic Vegan options taste as an alternative (though unique) representation-replacement of products which come from animals. Every portion of the meal tastes wonderful. Obviously, I buy the meal primarily for the Ox Tail though all parts of the meal taste dinstinctly alone as well as in combination (with every bite) very flavorful. The side salad tastes wonderful especially with the Mango Habanero.

The service was good. But I'm very critical of the food. The ambiance of the location was fine. However the food was not to my liking. I ordered the vegan oxtail. When you eat oxtail you expect a soft texture and GRAVY!!!! I did not get that and I was very disappointed. I also ordered a vegan "beef" Pattie. The texture was also lacking and the flavor for both items were missing. I know I'm vegan but it doesn't mean I don't want a good product. On top of that I spent $30 for items that I felt was sub par. Again im very disappointed

The place is very clean and actually pretty big inside. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The guy was really nice and friendly. I ordered the Naija bowl which is Vegan friendly and it was phenomenal. I'm also Caribbean and I can confirm the whole bowl was packed with flavor. It was also a generous portion for the price. And lastly, you can't go to a Caribbean spot and leave without a patty lol and I was excited there were vegan options. I ordered the pumpkin one and it did NOT disappoint. I just may become a regular here lol. read more

The meal also comes with a citrus side salad that you don't want to skip over. The jerk sauce is made fresh in house. The salad dressing is made in house. I picked up the jerk plantain patty and the pumpkin patty thats just 2 of the many flavor patties available. read more

I've never had it before and would definitely order it again! I also had the vegan cauliflower "wings" with mango habanero sauce... the sauce was INCREDIBLE (and the wings were pretty good, too!).

Top notch establishment. The staff was kind and informed about everything I asked. The menu is filled with Caribbean inspired dishes and patties that i'm definitely returning to try. I went with the Vegan Oxtail because someone else had ordered it before me and it passed the eye test. I had my reserves, but the result was satisfactory. Full of flavor, great texture, and not as heavy as actual oxtail which was a bonus. I also went with the Peanut Punch as a drink, highly recommended. read more

The reviews for this restaurant were really good so I thought I would give it a try. It was very welcoming and clean. The staff was very nice. However, the vegetable roti and lentil patty I ordered was less than desirable. The roti was overloaded with potatoes, lacked flavor and spice, and the roti bread seemed uncooked. And the lentil patty also lacked flavor. I actually went for the vegan oxtails, but was persuaded to try the roti. I will say my green ginger drink was good. Because the service and ambiance was good, I'm going to give the restaurant another try. I hope I won't be disappointed. read more

Food is delicious and tasty. I have never been to the location in person, only ordered online. I will say that I prefer to order from Uber Eats as opposed to using Slice which seems be be their preferred app. I ordered from Slice the second time around and my food took over an hour and a half to arrive. Ordered at 1:45 pm and it showed up at 3:30. Food was cold, so not as tasty as the first time I ordered but still good. Lots of vegetarian/vegan options. read more

I could barely hear myself think I had to text the people sitting at the table with me because we could not hear each other at all. Nonetheless, if that is not of your concern, and you are here for a good time and not a long time you need to come here.

Plenty of parking in the back…read more I called before arriving to see if there was a wait but the young lady let me know it wasn't. The place is BIG so if you need a private room, this is the place to go. The food and drinks were definitely on point. The empanadas were a little on the hard side but the wings were great! I will definitely be coming back to this place.

We settled on splitting one savory and one sweet brunch dish We ordered ginger-lemograss tea and coffee ahead of the tres leches pancakes and the short rib juevos rancheros. The dishes came out quickly and beautifully presented. The egg was perfectly fluffy and complimented the melty delicious short rib. It's one of those dishes that gets even more delicious as you eat it. The meal was perfectly balanced, made with fresh, high quality ingredients. The chef was back there doin his thing! The pancakes were fluffy came topped with blueberries and strawberries, and a generous carafe of dulce de leche. I was worried that it might be a little sweet, but again this dish was perfectly balanced and flavorful. We will definitely make a trip back for brunch in the near future.

Another great spot for breakfast/Brunch!…read more Great location too at Montclair with street parking and walking distance to Crescent Deck Garage. Place is welcoming and had nice natural lighting. We got their Huevos Rancheros, roasted chicken, tuna chaufa and lomo saltado. everything was great - good portions and beautiful flavors! Especially loved their Earl Grey latte too. the flavors of tea and espresso were very well balanced I would love to get that drink again. Also got their smores cookie for a nice sweet ending. We ended up chatting away even after we dined. Staff was very polite reminding us they needed the spot and was also kind enough to give us a some time even before the reminder. Would definitely recommend this place!

Recently, I visited Pigeon Peas with friends, all eager to indluge in Caribbean cuisine. The menu was brimming with mouthwatering choices, and made our decision-making process delightfully challenging. To kick things off, I ordered the Pumpkin Patty ($5), which was good but not outstanding. My friends enjoyed the Cauliflower Wings, although the $16 price tag for a dozen felt steep. The Vegan Jerk Kebab ($18) was the highlight. Bursting with flavor, feelings of love, and delightful textures, it was a winner. My friend wholeheartedly agreed. The rice, on the other hand, was just okay. The service was frustratingly slow, despite the minimal patrons. The delay was so significant that I had to rush and take the remainder of my dinner to-go. While the staff was friendly, there was a noticeable lack of communication and organization. Notably, pizza was unavailable during our visit. Also, Pigeon Peas does provide options for those who prefer fish and meat dishes. Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Pigeon Peas another try, opting for take-out. I'm rooting for them to reach its full potential as a local Caribbean gem with vegan offerings, and with a few adjustments, I believe they could achieve abundant success. My true rating is 3.5 read more

I don't give new restaurants a try for this very reason. Hoping to get a fulfilling meal for $19.19 I asked what dish was most popular. I was suggested the jerk kabob that came with fries for some odd reason. The food took about 30 minutes and was a portion that wouldn't fill my nine year old son. It was three plant based skewers on a bed of soggy fries. A man was pushing a sea moss beverage more aggressively than the food inside the restaurant by..offered samples to several passersby but not me a paying colored customer.We need to do better by each other. Very unpleasant experience and unfortunately wouldn't recommend this establishment. read more

The delivery was here at a timely manner. The service was also amazing as well. The Pizza, Wings, and garlic bread was top-notch as well.
