DREAM NYC REST & LOUNGE — Restaurant in New York

Sorry, I have to be honest. As a fellow Jamaican/foodie I've tried the restaurant about 5 times to see if it was the specific dish I was getting, but not a good representation of Jamaica. The food is underwhelming. The friend chicken is not good. Curry chicken is off. Rasta pasta is a hit or miss. Not the worse or best I had. The curry goat meat is not bad but it's something about their curry that leaves me nauseous. The oxtail was the best dish I had and I didn't desire it again. The worse dish I had was the chicken soup and omg the fish and chips. Disgusting! The fish tastes like rubber. Frozen fish is unacceptable! The fries we're drenched in oil. The final time i patronized this business my friend and I were sick for 3/4 days. It's safe to say that I will continue to make my trips across town to The Door Jamaican restaurant on Baisley blvd. My intention is to be honest and hope they can take this information and do better. I was hopeful being that it is close to home but I was not impressed and gave them many chances. They are also pricey, and I can understand that being that everything has gone up..I wish...

I discovered this restaurant a few months ago and was eager to try them out. The neighborhood is definitely lacking in Jamaican spots, I hoped they would fill the void. Since discovering, I've visited for take out a few times. Here are my takeaways, It seems the owners have not settled on an identity for the restaurant and are trying to be a little of everything. This obviously has diluted their product and service offerings as they do none well!. The food is ok, it's not amazing, but it's also not awful. In Jamaica, we would say, "It can gwaan." They have also changed the business hours and now are opening at 2pm, which essentially means no more lunch or lunch specials. Yesterday, I came in for patties, and the staff were all slouched over, some watching TV and some on the phones deep in video call mode. I ordered and was served patties that were so burnt that they were bitter in taste. I was able to get a full refund, but why let it get to that? I unfortunately...

Food was great but dry . My friend and I had got the jerk salmon .. also my friend and I said HI when we walked in the the guy at the front was just on his phone looking at us like we crazy so we said Hi again cause we thought we were bugging out and he turned his back to us - I’m not sure who the other guy with braids or dreads was but he came out and was looking at me real crazy . I didn’t wanna eat my food . I was annoyed and couldn’t wait to just leave . .. the music was way too damn loud for two damn people . Also , I prefer Gospel over someone shouting and singing about Sex or at least something like old school rnb or something would’ve made me feel more comfortable. 🥹 the waiter was a female . Forgot her name but she was very kind and on...
