    Corn soup
    Aminata C.

    I went here to celebrate my cousin's birthday. The inside was dimmly lit and had a full house. Nice music playing in the background. The drinks were on point. It wasnt on the menu but I had a Hennessey and Sorrel. It was pretty good. I only ordered a corn soup because I ate prior to my arrival. The corn soup was delicious! It was not lacking in the flavor department. I've had many corn soups throughout the years and if you are familar with Bird's corn soup back in the days..Circa 2010 - 2014' after a fete.. Savannah soup is in the runnings. Looking forward to trying other things.

    Wings

    Wow what an incredible hidden gem ! Everything was amazing from the drinks to the decor, even the music was a whole vibe. My friend and I got rum punch just different flavors? Super strong and tasty! We also shared the wings, caution spicy ! The oxtail tacos the pholouri and the Mac and cheese. I can not complain! Everything tasted as though it was made with love, true Island flavor and just all around delicious !

    Oxtail Plantain Cups

    The decor is cute and the staff is very friendly. You can make reservations on Open Table. Parking may be difficult but this location is very accessible via public transportation. My friend and I both enjoyed our drinks. I had the Sorrel Colada and I appreciate that it came with an additional shot of rum. My friend had the Moko Jumbie drink and she really enjoyed it. It came in a really cute slanted glass. The appetizers were my favorite part. We ordered the Mango Chow and Oxtail Plantain cups. Both were absolutely delicious and I'd order them both again in a heartbeat. I found the entrees to be just okay. There was nothing wrong with them but they weren't spectacular to make me want to come back and order them again. I ordered the Calypso Shrimp with mashed potatoes. The shrimp were seasoned and the mashed potatoes were good. I just wish they came with a gravy or butter sauce since they were dry. I tried my friends jerk chicken meal and it was nicely seasoned. It's on the sweet side, so if you're looking for Jamaican Jerk chicken I'd skip this one. Overall I enjoyed myself and if I'm in the area again would happily stop by for drinks and apps!

    Oxtail with Rice & Peas & Chicken Tacos

    The experience was good overall. The food was great, the service was great, too, and the ambiance was nice for a Saturday night. I'd go back if i'm looking for good quality Caribbean music with a Trini vibe.

    Mango mojito

    I really wanted to love this restaurant and was excited to visit for date night but a few things occurred that stopped me from giving a 5 star rating. My reservation was on Saturday August 12th at 8:30pm, my boyfriend and I arrived on time and upon entering the establishment we were greeted by the hostess who asked us if we wanted to be seated inside or outside in the back area, although inside was lively it was a nice night so we decided to dine outside. The outside area was a decent size and they also had a speaker outside playing nice soca tunes. After being seated it took about 10 minutes or so before our waitress came to our table to take our order or offer us a glass of water. I ordered the Seafood lobster and shrimp medley and my bf got the Salmon Trini delight, we also ordered the Mac and cheese with oxtails to share. To drink we ordered a mango mojito and he got a shot of jack. There was a table with 2 friendly women sitting next to us one of which pointed out that my boyfriends chair was broken, no biggie he just did a quick game of musical chairs and swapped out the broken chair for a more sturdy one, they went on to tell us that they were waiting awhile for their food and when their food came they weren't given utensils, my boyfriend and I both came on empty stomachs so we hoped that our food would be out in a decent amount of time. An incident happened in the back that the staff was made aware of and all the patrons including myself and boyfriend had to go indoors. At that time I wanted to leave but we had already been waiting so we decided to sit at the bar instead. When our food came out, unfortunately it was cold to the point I couldn't even enjoy it my boyfriends food was cold as well not to mention the oxtail mac and cheese barely had any oxtail meat, it had more of the oxtail fat in it. We only saw our waitress 1 time for the night and that was when she took our order she never came back to check on us or anything. The drinks were good, but the food and service left us disappointed, I wish that our experience at this establishment was a better one.

    Shrimp & Mash

    So since I last post I went back to Savannah Cafe with a group and we ate!!! Let me tell youuuuu EVERY SINGLE DISH had use speechless! The food is beyond words..... this is true Trini and Grenadian soul food. Lots of flavour, spice, fresh ingredients, hot and beautiful! You must try those plantain oxtail cups. We were a large group but the wait time was short, the servers were pleasant as always and the owners also came over and had a drink with us. I will forever remember the flavours and refer this Caribbean black owned establishment to anyone. Keep up the great service Mrs. Savannah & Mr. Spice! See you for brunch soon Ps. The drinks are Caribbean rums & flavours. I had a sorrel margarita - never knew this was an option.

    It's a really nice place. I love that there's an outdoor area. That's where my friends and I sat. The waiter was also very nice and gave great recommendations. One of my best friends got the Sunday special stew chicken and loved it. Really good potato salad which doesn't happen often. I loved the pasta with shrimp that my other best friend got. I got shrimp with the mashed potatoes and I thought the mashed potatoes were dry. I also enjoyed my drink. There's a space to take photos, like a grass wall with some flowers. I would come back here.

    Chow mein and oxtail
    Jeelee A.

    The vibez was vibing! The appetizer wings were fireeeere!!I had the chow mein with oxtail i literally wanted to hug the chef after! It was sooooo good! Their drinks are also 10/10. I had a dingolay! Perfect balance of alcohol and goodness it was The servers recommendation.

    The decor here is gorgeous, food is good, good tunes playing (soca for the win). This is a cute spot to consider for casual dining, birthday dinners, or date night. They have one booth style seating that offers a slightly more intimate feel. The drinks are strong and well mixed and the food is clearly made with love. Even if you're not in the area, I'd say this is worth a trip over.

    Snapper, it was cooked well. Recommended

    I went to Savannah last night and enjoyed my meal to the tenth power. I had the shrimp tacos which was made to perfection. The sauce and additional toppings was spectacular, highly recommended. I ordered the oxtails as my main dish, let me tell you something it was soft and seasoned perfectly, this is a must. The potato salad was whatever to me, it needed more Mayo and it season. The Mac and cheese was just ok, I've had better. I ordered a mango mojito, the liquor was strong, so they give you your money's worth. My friend had the snapper which was good, recommended as well.I would come back here. The space is a little small but doable and they have a nice back door area.

    Da Bomb Oxtail spiced tacos

    Ok I will give my wife credit for choosing this restaurant. She saw Savannah Spiced advertised in a local tv station's commercial. We HAD to try this place. We got there on a Friday night and the size of the place...I would call it "cozy". The whole ambiance had a romantic & island feel to it. We thought we were going to order a few items. NOPE...this is what we got: Food: Savannah corn soup (Man oh man it was like my late mom's soup...not watery...it was thick and creamy and made out of love), passion fruit spice wings (got a nice peppery kick to it!), curried coconut crab (it was tasty, but we were trying not to get curry on our clothes), Salmon TRINI Delight (Guava infused salmon with garlic potatoes) and THE BEST Oxtail spiced tacos we have ever tasted..it came with caribbean salsa, mango slaw with a calypso drizzle. Drinks: We had knocked off two flavorful Sorrel Mojitos, a strong and memorable Play a Jab (with Grenadian rum and a splash of ginger) and my wife's favorite: Muddy Waters (blend of coconut rum, Irish Baileys & Kahlua). We can't wait to go back to this restaurant! When we go back..we have to try the other appetizers and drinks!!

    Wings & oxtail empanadas!!! Both amazing

    "Deep in Brooklyn, hides the Caribbean"…read more Came here on sleepy Tuesday. Not many people in the restaurant but lots of take out going on. The friendly one woman staff helped seat us, recommend the dishes, made the drinks, prepped and served the food. It was all tasty. What's to cheer - Nice not to too sweet homemade rum punch - Solid, flavorful oxtail. Very island spiced and cooked well - Goat was also really strong - Reasonable prices - service with personality What's to jeer - they were out of the jerk chicken unfortunately which I really wanted to try - place is pretty low key and not swimming with ambience

Service was excellent, we felt like we were visiting an old friend who happens to have a great restaurant. The food was delicious, we had the home made sorrel perfectly sweetened and the right amount of ginger. The oxtail with rice and peas with cabbage was on point. The meat was perfectly tender and the gravy was savory, the rice and peas was moist and delicious, the cabbage had a nice flavor and texture and the side of fry plantains were perfect, the right level of soft and sweet. Do yourself a favor and visit Islands. Cool .

    9.5/10 for the vibe, ambiance, and service -- and a full 10/10 for the food…read more I'm not a picky eater, but I've had some really disappointing oxtail lately, so I was hoping for the best here. I'm Dominican so I know oxtail pretty well and have made it myself. Thankfully, this place absolutely delivered. The oxtail was perfectly slow-braised, tender, and falling right off the bone -- exactly how it should be. Absolutely amazing. Of course I had the rice and peas, plus some veggies. A few of the veggies were slightly overcooked, but still flavorful and enjoyable. The drinks looked incredible, but I went with the rum punch and loved it. It was a little sweet, but super flavorful, strong, and definitely worth ordering again. For dessert, I had the Hennessy cheesecake, which was rich, decadent, and unbelievably delicious. There were three of us dining, and we all left completely satisfied -- with take-home containers because the portions are VERY generous. The only thing that bothered me a bit was that our server seemed to focus most of her attention on my friend. She is Jamaican, and because I look like a white American woman, I felt a little overlooked at times, even when I had several requests myself. We also had to look for her a couple of times while she was sitting with a group nearby. That said, everyone overall was very nice and welcoming. The bussers especially stood out -- they checked on us often, kept everything clean, and even greeted me in Spanish, which I appreciated. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely be back with more people next time.

For my hubby, Brooklyn is home - and we always love exploring the new places the city has to offer when we visit. We had reservations, and were seated within 10 minutes, which was reasonable. The place was packed - everyone was in high spirits, and I was ready to taste some of the best Caribbean cuisine in the region. My hubby's best friend - a Brooklyn resident, joined us. He had been to the restaurant a few times - and had good things to say. We were not disappointed. I had the Brown Stew Red Snapper - *chef's kiss*. Hubby had the iconic Jerk Oxtail over Macaroni & Cheese Pie! The English language cannot convey the beauty of that combination! Tender, tender oxtail, falling off the bone with the creamy, cheesy mac & cheese! He wanted to savor that dish another day, so he got a to-go bag and took it back to the hotel! (I couldn't help but clean my plate - I was obsessed with the fish!) Our friend enjoyed the Hennessy Fried Shrimp (not pictured) - one of his favorite dishes at the restaurant. It looked delicious as well. For drinks, I had the Bob Marley cocktail. A colorful drink - flavorful - and effective! There were people celebrating their birthdays throughout the night - and the wait staff goes IN! I was enjoying watching at least 10 people receive the Stevie Wonder "Happy Birthday" song while we were there. Imagine my surprise when it was my turn! My birthday was the day before, and we had already celebrated in Manhattan. Having two special recognition events made the evening that much more special! Shout out to the Simpson crew who came with the song, the rhythm, the sparkling cake, and the good vibes! My 70th birthday was exceptional - without a doubt. The Simpson added the touch I needed. We'll definitely go back next time we're in Brooklyn!

Everything was exactly as I remembered -perfectly cooked and well seasoned, large portions with more than enough to take home. The chef stopped by our table which was a nice touch. Service overall was great. They also make great use of such a small space. It is indeed well worth the visit. Side note, we ordered the same exact items off the menu as we did a year ago...only one thing was missing which was the biscuits with the flavored butter jam. We were told the biscuits were replaced with cornbread. I didn't order the cornbread this time around but would like to see the biscuits return at some point.
