I'm a big fan of Caribbean food and I've had my fair share across the globe. Tasha's is hands down top of my list all time for Caribbean and Top 3 across all cuisines. I have been here 3 times in the last 3 months and every time has been consistent and just as good as the last. Ok let's dive in: Quality - 5 Flavor - 5 Portions - 5 Pricier? Yes, but it's absolutely worth it. What I have ordered multiple times and can absolutely vouch for: Entrees: Curry Chicken (Personal Favorite) Oxtail (Insanely tasty, juicy, falls off the bone) Jerk Chicken (Flavorful) Tasha's Sticky Wings (Best wings I've had in NJ) Beef Ribs - Wow... One large Rib with so much meat that fell off the bone with the most amazing sauce and flavor to coat. Sides: Sweet Potato Cornbread (This alone could be why I come to this establishment, this is such a standout item - you must try) Regular Cornbread - Even if the SP Cornbread is not available, this is the best cornbread I've ever had. I've read elsewhere that they had dry cornbread - it was either a bad batch or a bad day because their cornbread hit every single time I went. Plantains - sweet, soft yet slightly crisp - cooked to perfection Rice and Peas - Full of flavor and very generous portion Cabbage - SO MUCH Flavor - I usually don't like cabbage but this is crazy good. Dessert: BANANA PUDDING CHEESECAKE - If they have this, dont even think twice. Get 2 slices. One for there, the other for later. You'll thank me later Banana Pudding - Good banana pudding made from scratch Red Velvet Cake - Moist and perfect balance, not too sweet and perfect consistency. Sauce: Their home made Hot Sauce - IT IS HOT with SO much flavor. Use with caution, start with a drop and ramp up. It gets hot, but I could buy bottles of this hot sauce. Conclusion: It's rare you find a place that has multiple items that are insanely good. Not only that, but it's even more rare to go to a restaurant and have top tier Entree, Sides, and Dessert all from the same place. Whatever you order from here you know it's made with love, quality, and Tasha has an amazing palette and understanding of flavors. Truly a master at her craft. I cannot emphasize or highly recommend this place enough. If all this didn't already seal the deal - Tasha and her husband are truly genuine and kind people who you can tell care about their craft and process. They put the energy into the food and into their customers. I was made to feel at home the moment I walked through the door and I'm grateful to have found her restaurant. I will be coming for years to come. Finally, if it matters to those who eat halal - the meat they used is halal and they do not serve pork. 10/10

Wow! What's there not to say about the food, the hospitality and the service provided at this special place! You too will be calling this your home away from home once you allow yourself to witness and taste all the Love that is poured into the preparation and execution of each dish! Did I mention that everything is cooked fresh when you order! I will definitely be back many times because I want to try everything on this menu! We had Curry Goat (with cabbage, vegetables, plus peas & rice), Stuffed Salmon (with Grandmas Mac & Cheese, collard greens and corn bread), OxTails (with cabbage and rice & peas), A side of sweet potatoes, Banana Pudding Cheesecake and Banana Pudding! Absolutely outrageous portions of food and though in our minds we desired to continue eating, we had to stop ourselves and take the rest home. No worries.....I'm already looking forward to my left overs! Thank you Chef Natasha Williams and Mr. Williams for sharing your recipes with us all. I can't wait to see where your journey takes you next! May God continue to bless your labor of love!

While visiting a friend I was searching for soul food places near by and after several reading of reviews Miss Tasha’s was the obvious winner. Based on the pictures and impressive ratings I decided that I would get my food from them. The ordering process over the phone was smooth, and the aromas of the food as we were leaving the store was promising. However, despite the high expectations and spending nearly $70, the food was a major letdown. Contrary to the reviews, everything we ordered lacked flavor, leaving us disappointed. I'm willing to give them another chance, perhaps on a different day when the cooking might be different, especially considering the positive reviews. I'm eager to return for their banana pudding, which unfortunately wasn't available during my visit.

I am really disappointed =\ I was really looking forward to trying this restaurant after seeing the raving reviews. I ordered two platters and, with the exception of the cabbage, everything was either bland, overcooked, or old. The fried turkey chops tasted gamey and were soggy. I will say that the sogginess could of been because I ordered takeout. The cabbage was indeed flavorful! The yams were just okay but that very well could have just been their take on the dish. The chicken was simply old. We could see dried out meat throughout. I also ordered the rice and gravy, but the rice was mushy. The macaroni in the macaroni and cheese was way over cooked. After a long day and truly looking forward to this, I am displeased and disappointed.

This review is long overdue, and I couldn't be happier to give this amazing restaurant 5+ stars! First of all, it was our first time coming here, and the moment we arrived, we were treated with a smile. Inside, you will find a neat and full menu written out in chalk, which I found very cool! The aroma of the food while waiting was spectacular! We did take the food home, and once I took a bite, it took me back to my childhood eating soul food. My son had the jerk chicken and was blown away! The combination of soul with caribbean makes it unique. Absolutely loved it! Let me just let everyone know that Tasha's Caribbean & Soul Food Cuisine has been featured in edible Jersey Magazine front cover. Go visit and enjoy!
