Raphael's Restaurant — Restaurant in Boston

I ordered Delivery this weekend...are you kidding me? Raphael and his brethren must be from Jamaica, Iowa, because no self-respecting Jamaican would represent their island like this. I was hoping my soaked bag was the storm prior to the rainbow. Also, it was not raining when this was dropped off. The 1st item I see is the Beef patty, which I believe led to the coup in 1980, since this patty has existed since then. Someone saw this monstrosity, held it and thought this was acceptable. The Coco bread....it was white. Potato bread with fillers that is sitting on a grocery shelf for a week tastes better than this representation. Lastly, the oxtail meal. The Medium portion I paid for was the only glory and they were tender... I know Tariffs have been hard on many but if I bring you some seasonings and spices, can you add at least two to your dishes? Canned corned beef and hash is more tasty than what was prepared in Raphael's kitchen. Maybe, call Gordon Ramsay because this was bollocks. "Dis...

Me and my kids went in to grab food for dinner as we’ve done many times in the past. This particular time when I went in and looked to see the selections and I saw a roach crawling near the food. My kids and I immediately left and never looked back. Now another story…I went in there to pick up an Uber eats order for a customer and was waiting for fried dumplings to be done according to the waiter(no problem, they had just opened)….so I asked how long, so I could let the customer know…..dude in the back said “when they’re done I’ll let you know, I don’t like to be asked questions!” Excuse me? You are serving the public, do better. You got roaches and you’re rude? Make it make sense. I wasn’t going to leave a review after the roach but you feel like because you serve a certain community you can treat folks however? Nah we have enough other (better) Caribbean spots close...

The best Caribbean breakfast in Boston! This ain't no pancakes and bacon type place. I order from them at least 3 times a month, probably more. Their food is GREAT! I generally get breakfast, chopped chicken (the gravy on it is so damn good), boiled dumplings, and porriage. My fiance gets the chopped chicked, callaloo, and rice.

If we go for lunch, which we often do too, curry shrimp, cabbage and rice and beans, sometimes we switch the shrimp for stew chicken. The stew chicken to DELICIOUS!!!

Listen this is, a no what you want, say what you want and get out type place, they have no time for games or if you confused! Some ppl in there are nice sometimes they not, but I truly don't care cause their food is top notch. They are trying to move quick in there so figure out what you want first, then...
