    Jerk chicken
    Lily T.

    Yum! I can have Jamaican food every single day! Was craving for some oxtail and this place delivered! Fall off the bone good oxtail. It went perfectly with the rice and bean. It was ahhh--mazing! Portion was huge as well given how expensive ox tail is. Flavor was on point and it was just delicious! We devoured it in no time! Jerk chicken was great as well however I liked the ox tail for how flavorful it was. Overall, this is the place to come if you are in the area and you want Jamaican food. You won't be disappointed. Man working behind the counter was friendly as well! I will be back!

    Where I live I can't find ethic food. Sometimes I want home cooking , does not matter what country is from .every country has home cooking . This is the closest place for jamaican food. It is great. The people are friendly and the food is authentic . One of the best things about this place is that it has a bar . Spicy foods and beer go very well together. I love the jerked chicken and the ox tail . In this place the food is really good.. I enjoy scaping here on weekends sit down have a beer and enjoy home cooking.. While there I enjoy talking to Clark a heavy accent jamaican old man "white jamaican" It's hard to understand him . It's a surprise seeing a white jamaican .meeting the different cultures and talking to them over a beer is a treat .. This is living . I go here frequently ..experience this place ,you will feel welcomed ..no matter the race ...enjoy ethnic foods over beer .., Included a picture of the jerked chicken I had today ... Peace and love foodies..... "

    I cannot believe there has not been a review on yelp for this place. Also known as Junior's for the owners name, this is Jamaican soul in the heart of Spring Valley smack on rt. 59! Curry goat, curry chicken, jerk chicken, BBQ chicken, goats head soup and of course ox tail! Each dish comes with rice and beans or white rice served with his to die for raw cabbage salad and fried plantains. Great prices. Three different sizes. Food runs out quickly daily usually around 7-8 pm most of the good stuff runs out. He's got the authentic Jamaican sodas and juices and a small bar too for some beer or wine. I love this place and am lucky it's close by. Very conveniently located right off 287/87 thruway rt. 59 exit. 3-4 miles from the TZ bridge/5 miles from Bergen County NJ. Right next to the Spring Valley Market Place shopping plaza.

    Shredded cabbage and carrots
    Beverley A.

    Best home cooked Jamaican Caribbean food! Feels like home! Stop by in the morning for breakfast- enjoy the ackee, salt fish and some green bananas. At night, stop in for some homemade jerk chicken and rice peas. Try the oxtail with the shredded cabbage and carrots. You will feel right at home on the islands in the Caribbean. Ps. On some days they have rum ice cream in the freezer. Another tip- call ahead for that ackee it runs out quickly.

    Flaky, fresh veggie patties
    Liz F.

    Mostly everyone who comes here ends up ordering their rice and peas along with whatever main dish. I absolutely find this dish so so delicious because of the flavor and texture of the rice, and so I normally order it with cabbage. You really can't go wrong! I also find their veggie patty to be very fresh, flaky and just the right flavorful combination. The only reason I give this place 4 stars is because they don't have enough vegetarian/vegan options.

    Delicious Curried Shrimp. Tropical Delicacy is absolute perfection
    Tasha D.

    Ordered the Curried Shrimp and it was amazing. So much flavor and the perfect amount of spice. No matter what you order everything is delicious. The owners are friendly and give large portions. Homemade, authentic and made with love

    So delicious. I didn't know what I wanted so the boss man hooked it up with a little bit of everything. Amazing!

    Hands down best Jamaican spot in town. I don't mind driving 1/2 hour to get this food and especially there chicken patties.

    A friend ordered food from this take out restaurant and I've been hooked ever since...we had a $30…read morefritay (everything fried) platter with fried turkey and (fried pork) griot, fried goat and pikliz (don't know how to spell that...it's that spicy stuff that pairs so nicely with the fried food) and rice and beans and fried plantains and my favorite akra (fried malanga) and fried chicken wings...they food is great and it's definitely cooked with love...it's a family owned business and the owner Mr. Guy is sooo nice...I got a little taste of the buffet selections...and my tastebuds were tantalized with a whole new array of foods I've never tried before...like Lalo an Egyptian spinach aka molokhia and a Hatian breakfast cornmeal dish I forget what it's called and legume a delicious chayote vegetable dish ...the prices are very reasonable and food is absolutely delicious... my only advice for you is to order early...if you're planning a big catering order. Guy's spot is my new go-to spot for quick and delicious Hatian food...plenty of parking...

    Went to try for possible catering. Looks like its an order ahead kind of place. Ordered Griot but…read morewas told that it has been ordered in advance, what a bust! But I'm sure having it freshly made is the way to go. Did have their Diri Kole and fried chicken which was readily available, rice was very tasty not dry at all and chicken was good as well. Just wish was able to have the Griot. Portions are small.
