I don't usually write reviews for food but I had to say something about Bridgetown, I've been…read morethinking about it all day. Genuinely one of the most incredible bites I've ever had, I am so glad I stumbled in here. I'll be honest, I was not expecting many vegan options but I was pleasantly impressed by how much was available. I ordered the seasonal vegetable patty and the vegan channa roti. Walking in you are greeted with golden brown baked patties, immediately putting the goodness on display. I've had Caribbean patties before, most of them fried because I grew up in the south, but a friend's mom from childhood would fresh bake them for us and I had missed that for so long. These patties reminded me of that and I had a Ratatouille flashback moment with it. I don't exactly remember what was in the patty, but it was the fall medley, and it was warm, cozy, and so pleasant. The lady at the front of house asked me what I thought and I could tell she really cared about the fact that I enjoyed it. About 10 minutes later the roti came out (and I think waiting for it made the experience even better), and my goodness every single bite was just fantastic. I spent around $30 in total (including tip) and I think that was a complete steal for the experience I had. I'm definitely coming back so I can try the jerk cucumbers and the channa doubles. If you want to eat food that you can taste the love in, you absolutely have to eat here!!

My most recent visit here was at the brick and mortar spot. (My previous visit was when they were…read morestill operating out of the ghost kitchen/ pop-up) There's definitely a lot more items available on the menu this time around! I wasn't too hungry so I just went with a couple of patties. Just as delicious as I remembered. It was right before closing time so the vibe was chill inside. The person helping me at the counter was very friendly.

Last time I was at BMH, I didn't get a chance to try Caribbean Gourmet (CG). Yesterday was the day. Parking was easy behind the building. Comfortable shared community seating available inside and outside. Restrooms are near the front entrance of the BMH. CG offers comforting soul foods with bold flavors of authentic Caribbean and Guyanese cuisines. Their simple menu includes chicken plates, patties (empanadas like), pastries, and drinks. Oxtail stew, jerk chicken, chicken and vegan curries, and freshly made roti are some of their signature dishes. Since it was my first time trying them, I got the Jerk Chicken. Wow, it was one heavy plate! One deliciously tender chicken drumstick + thigh over aromatically flavored coconut rice and peas. Spice level was perfect! Veggies and roasted plantains were fantastic. Absolutely a plate of tasty goodness! Highly recommend for first time and returning customers. I would get it again for sure. Prices were reasonable for the great portions. Staff was super friendly and nice. Thank you Miss! CG is one of the best food options at BMH. I'm planning my return to try their other signature dishes soon. If you haven't tried them, don't wait any longer. It's the real deal Caribbean and Guyanese!

People say this is the best Jamaican food in the area. So let's see if they're pretty good eh or…read moreew. Everything is handmade fresh in-house and the owner is literally the sweetest and gave me a bunch of stuff to try. Of course gotta start with the iconic beef patty which was nice and chubby and had a flakey pastry with ground beef inside. Their roti was super soft and flakey and paired perfectly with their warm spiced super tender curries. The plates come with rice, stewed cabbage, sweet fried plantains and a protein. The jerk chicken was nice and Smokey while the oxtail was super tender and juicy. They had a catering order too that day so gave me some of their special chow mian to try which had veggies, yummy chicken, and was super flavorful. Overall this place was pretty good. Oxtail plate $28 Jerk chicken $20 Curry with roti $19 Beef patty $6

I have had the pleasure of trying this truck twice. The first time I tried the chicken curry, and…read morethe second time I tried the shrimp curry. Both were amazing and I had it over rice, as I am not a fan of Roti. It is not a spicy curry like I am used too in Jamaican or Indian style dishes, which is a wonderful change as it seems the older I get I cannot take the heat. Instead it is creamy, and dare I say sweet. While it needs nothing, the tamarind and mango chutney are both worth a try. The truck also lives up to its name serving your food almost immediately after ordering. I had to take away a star for their portion size. It is not a full lunch even though they offer small and large. This comes from someone who does not eat much! I expected to order the large and maybe have some left overs (Most Caribbean portion sizes are a lot bigger and include sides like cabbage, salad and/or plantains). I could see the plates were served in a styrofoam container with three pockets. So my expectations were a lot bigger. As soon as I picked it up plate was noticeably light. They only use the main pocket and it is barely full. I expect more from a large portion of anything. I have a picture with my fork sticking in it for reference. It taste amazing but leaves unsatisfied and yearning for more.

Very disappointing meal. Paid $15.88 for a LARGE chicken curry with rice and a side of roti. The…read moreserving was honestly insulting, as you can see in the picture. Only a few pieces or chicken and a very small serving of rice. The roti was horrible. A rolled up piece of bread in a small piece of aluminum foil with zero taste. Never eating at this truck again.

After craving Jamaican food for what feels like forever, I finally decided to search Yelp on my way…read morehome from working in LA and came across The Taste of the Caribbean in Long Beach - and wow, this hit the spot in a way I've been missing for too long. For context, I've always loved Jamaican food and even have family who make incredible, authentic dishes, but I haven't had anything close to that in a year. So my expectations? High. My craving? Even higher. I ordered the jerk chicken dinner with peas & rice and cabbage medley, and some plantains - to go. First off, the service was amazing. The woman who helped me was genuinely warm and welcoming, and you can tell she cares about what she's serving. When I ordered, she asked if I wanted the jerk sauce on the side and made sure I was okay with the spice level when I said no. That attention to detail matters. The food came out quickly (it was mid-afternoon and not busy), and everything stayed warm all the way home--which is always a win for takeout. Now let's talk about the food: The portion was generous, the flavors were on point, and everything tasted fresh. The jerk chicken had that perfect smoky, spicy kick - exactly what I was hoping for. The rice and peas and cabbage medley were a great balance to the heat, and the plantains were sweet and perfectly cooked. I did notice another review complaining about the spice level being too high... and honestly, I had to laugh a little. Have you had jerk chicken before? It's supposed to be spicy - that's the whole point. Personally, that comment is part of what made me choose this place, and it delivered. If you don't like spice, jerk might not be your thing - but I'm sure there are milder options if you ask. Bonus: they offer online ordering and delivery through Uber Eats and Postmates, which makes it even easier to get your fix. Overall, this place brought back the flavors I've been missing for so long. I'll absolutely be back - and probably sooner rather than later.
