Jamaican Delight — Restaurant in Bergenfield

Update: Many of their food items are gluten free. Just ask the owner if you are unsure. Unfortunately, the store doesn't have air conditioning and was unbearably hot the last time I walked in. Please, please get this fixed. The food here is great and I would hate to see the store lose customers.

I finally got a chance to stop by Jamaican Delight after passing by countless times. It was near closing and they were out of curry goat, jerk chicken and bammy. I ended up getting the oxtail with plantains, rice, salad and orange soda. The 13.00 small size is enough to feed me for at least 2 meals and everything was GOOD. The oxtail was perfectly flavored/cooked, rice was the perfect balance to the meat and the plantains were on point. I really would like to know if their food is gluten free but other than that, this is one of the absolute top Jamaican spots...

My husband and I ordered the small oxtail and curry goat, and also two beef patties. Both meals were good. The rice & cabbage were especially delicious. But OMG the beef patties were sooooo good! Better than the chain Jamaican restaurant. I’d come back just for that. Hot & flaky delicious. Very pleased.

Added on 9/6/25 - we went back & wanted to order however they ran out of food at the time we arrived at 7pm on the nose. They were very apologetic & suggested we call ahead next time which we will. They only had veggie patties left & lemme tell you, they’re forgiven! Best veggie patty I’ve ever had. The filling & the dough was so damn good. Flaky & flavorful! Will be back & will call...

I have been to almost every Caribbean restaurant from Bergenfield, toTeaneck, to Hackensack and miles around. THIS PLACE HAS THE BEST RICE.

Yes, third beat patties, ginger beer and rum cake are all good but it is their rice and peas that makes them the best and sets them apart from the rest.

Patrick, the healthy, friendly owners d master cook, uses brown and peas, with Tyne and ginger fresh everyday. Just like my grandma Mary from Kingston, Jamaica use to make.

Many people think they can make healthy Jamaican rice and peas. But very few can,most use the less healthy white rice. Not Patrick, he is a perfectionist and uses...
