Pizza Brothers — Restaurant in Bloomfield

elebrating my birthday at Pigeon Peas was, without a doubt, the most beautiful and memorable dining experience I've ever had.

We were a large group--8 adults, 4 children, and an infant--and from the moment we walked through the doors you are not greeted as a customer but as an essential part of the heart and soul of the establishment. The warmth, the energy, the cultural richness--it felt like home. You can feel the love the moment you step inside.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible owner, her daughter, and the extended family in the kitchen who prepared our food with so much care. Every grain of jollof rice, every perfectly fried piece of plantain, every dish--it was all made with love. The fusion of Nigerian and St. Lucian flavors is nothing short of magic.

I ordered the lentil and pumpkin patties along with the Naija bowl, and my family raved about the oxtail, jollof rice, curry shrimp, and pineapple ginger drink. And then came the smoothie... turmeric, mango, banana, and black pepper--made as a birthday complement. I am not a fan of smoothies, but this one? Hands down the best I've ever had.

They even played a birthday song for me, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I'm still glowing with love and gratitude a day later. Pigeon Peas has made my birthday so special, and I'll never forget it.

Even though it's a long drive for me, I will absolutely be back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my celebration so full of joy, love, and unforgettable flavors. With...

I'm always looking for a restaurant that sells good chicken roti. So I had been waiting to check out Pigeon Peas. Today was the day. I understand each person cooks different from the next and cooking for many is different than cooking for your family. Knowing this I ordered chicken roti and jerk chicken. I waited almost a 1/2 hour for the order. Ok fresh food takes time to cook. When I arrived home less than 10 minutes away. I was surprised to find the food was not hot. Again no problem - I'll warm the jerk chicken up. So we began to eat the roti. The flavor was fine curried potatoes, cubed chicken breast, and chickpeas. The issue was the flavor was only on the outside of the chicken, potatoes and chickpeas. It had not infused into the roti. The roti skin was very good and flavorful. The jerk chicken was fine but it was not jerk chicken it was barbecued chicken. No taste of jerk seasoning. Everything was edible but it was lacking the Caribbean touch I was looking for. I also understand since COVID everyone has increased their prices but over $40 was too much. Also I realized when I got home the prices on the chart on their counter was not what I was charged. It was more plus tax. Everyone in the place was friendly and attentive. The place appeared to be very clean and the music playing was good. I wish Pigeon Peas the...

Recently, I visited Pigeon Peas with friends, all eager to indluge in Caribbean cuisine. The menu was brimming with mouthwatering choices, and made our decision-making process delightfully challenging.

To kick things off, I ordered the Pumpkin Patty ($5), which was good but not outstanding. My friends enjoyed the Cauliflower Wings, although the $16 price tag for a dozen felt steep.

The Vegan Jerk Kebab ($18) was the highlight. Bursting with flavor, feelings of love, and delightful textures, it was a winner. My friend wholeheartedly agreed. The rice, on the other hand, was just okay.

The service was frustratingly slow, despite the minimal patrons. The delay was so significant that I had to rush and take the remainder of my dinner to-go. While the staff was friendly, there was a noticeable lack of communication and organization.

Notably, pizza was unavailable during our visit. Also, Pigeon Peas does provide options for those who prefer fish and meat dishes.

Despite the hiccups, I'm willing to give Pigeon Peas another try, opting for take-out. I'm rooting for them to reach its full potential as a local Caribbean gem with vegan offerings, and with a few adjustments, I believe they could achieve abundant success. 🌴
