Was looking forward to the food after seeing the reviews. Ordered a medium brown stew chicken. Wanted candied yams and was told they didn't have them. Asked for Mac and cheese and was told they didn't have that either. Settled for cabbage which was ok. The brown stew chicken didn't taste like brown stew chicken. It lacked flavor and tasted like regular baked chicken. It wasn't nasty but it didn't cure my craving for brown stew chicken. All in all I was disappointed and I won't be back. Service was good as was the atmosphere. Establishment looked very clean and I liked the fact that it was spacious and had ample seating.*edit Since having eaten at this establishment and having the owner having seemingly having taken offense at my review. I will say I've been eating "authentic Jamaican food for over 20 years" I have eaten at over 20 Jamaican establishments and myself is also a chef who specializes in cooking Jamaican cuisine. I tried to be very honest and fair in my review but as far as the criticism and the fact that the owner stating that I ate more than half the platter I stated in my review that the food wasn't nasty. Also I paid my hard earned money for said food so why would I waste it? Again I said the brown stew chicken that I received didn't taste like brown stew chicken but more like baked chicken. It wasn't nasty but it also didn't quell my craving for brown stew chicken. As I said before I'm actually a chef and my own brown stew chicken is world's apart from the brown stew chicken that I received since your establishment can't seem to take a positive and honest review. I've cooked for over 20 years and what I will tell you is one your open your entire menu should be available. Í wanted Mac and cheese and candied yams and neither was available to me despite it being lunch time and after 2pm in the afternoon. Maybe instead of being so defensive next time you'll actually take the time to listen to a paying customer and improve upon your shortcomings as opposed to being defensive. By the way Jamaic's and Ignite brown stew chicken was much better since you claim I don't know what authentic Jamaican...
Read more4/28/25 Update Was a little disappointed today. They ran out of my favorite dish here chicken and rice and peas. This is a FIRST for the rice and peas😌. I'll extend some grace. The brown stew chicken was good but I really did miss my jerk chicken ( sigh)
2/17/2025 👋🏾 I'm obsessed with this place. I'm back again today.Ox tails, Rice & peas & cabbage on deck.😋😋😋.
Have made several attempts lately to patronize other local caribbean establishments but nothing to date measures up to the food here. Honestly, I think I might be done getting my feeling hurt ( and wasting $$) trying other places in this area.🙂🤷 Best Taste Caribbean has NEVER disappointed🏆
‐‐-------‐----------------------------------------- This is hands down some of the best and most authentic Caribbean food I have had out of South Jersey to date!
The oxtails and jerk chicken reminds me of the food we had the little time we were in Jamaica. Consistently Delicious! It was so good I did a yelp and Facebook review also.Yeah it was really that good I MO!
Definitely put them on your bucket list. You won't be...
Read moreThe taste of the food was pretty authentic and delicious. I've ordered food a few different times and I enjoyed it each time. I've tried the Escovich Snapper, Curry Goat, Curry Chicken, Oxtails, Jerk Chicken and Beef Patty. The only thing I probably won't try again is the Jerk Chicken, only because I like mine extra spicy.
Being from Jamaica, I'm usually picky about what "Jamaican" restaurants I get food from and this place comes pretty close to food I would make for myself. So the nights I was too tired to head to the kitchen this came in clutch.
I would recommend calling ahead to make sure they have the meal you want just in case they ran out.
Customer service has been top notch. They have been pleasant and quite accommodating so I have no complaints.
I've only done delivery, never dined in so I can't speak to that but the food and service has...
