“ Home feeling intimate restaurant. Earth colors of beige and brown for the decor, can’t miss the beautiful Jamaica flag plaque and Psalms verses. Nicely shellac dark brown wood tables, each table against the wall has an outlet so you can charge your phone, a thoughtful plus! The food smells so delightful, drew me in right away. I wish I could try everything, like a sampler platter, everything just look so delicious. I had the cod fritters and rice and peas with some of the beef gravy. Excellent, just soooo good! The staff is pleasant, lovely young ladies. The business is new, about a month in now. Wishing them much success, I’ll definitely be back. Let’s get a website going, or a QR Code scan to an online menu flyer, get on Seamless and Uber Eats when you get more settled. I really want you to win! Great job Caribbean Starr! ”
“ The food was amazing and definitely authentic, would recommend the oxtail. The servers were very nice when greeting, patiently answered all my questions and were very generous with the serving size. ”
“ Tuck in to a generous and very delicious portion of Jerk chicken with rice n' peas, and cabbage. I tried to get dumplings too but they had sold out - I guess they were tasty too! This was one of my favourite culinary experiences in New York City, and yet it came at a fair price. There is a pleasant sheltered seating area outside, but most of the clientele were getting take-out. Definitely worth visiting. Enjoy! ”
“ Everything hits at this restaurant only thing ilI recommend is the sides for soups and other things on uber eats. Fried dumpling, festival, patties etc. Only in the store i can get patties and fried dumpling or festival i would like to order it with my meal on uber eats as well. Spending on take out is more expensive now I would like to order how I want. ”
“ I come here often maybe 1x a month or every other month. Been coming here since 2020. I usually get the sweet Chilli salmon with rice and peas, and cabbage, or the jerk chicken. I used to get curry chicken. Salmon always good. Chicken is good but they don't always have the parts I want. Overall good spot with variety of good food. ”
