Kaieteur Restaurant Bronx — Restaurant in New York

Stopped by on an early Saturday afternoon for takeout. Although White Plains road is pretty busy, that particular stretch isn't too bad...there were a few metered spot available on White Plains road within a block or so from the restaurant.

The space is small and narrow. They had a few bakery items (plait bread/tennis rolls...about $3 each) along the left side, bagged and ready for purchased. On the right are hot foods (curry, stews...) you can buy.

I ended up ordering a chicken fried rice, chicken lo mein (about $12 each) and purchased a few pre-packaged bakery items. The food was ready quickly in about 10 minutes. They do NOT serve pork there.

The food and bakery items were good...3.5/5.

Service was efficient but very straight-to-the-point.

I grew up in Queens and am used to the Kaieteur and Bamboo Garden restaurants there. I believe the food at those places are a bit better than this location. The Queens locations are also bigger and have seating available. The bakery items here also aren't as good as the Queens stores...Little Guyana Bake Shop and Sybils. That being said...I've tried a few similar places in the Bronx and this was the best. Recommended if you can't make it...

I was starving and it was super late i was so excited about this food and then i just ended up disappointed with my whole order i literally had to throw the whole container away the chicken i ordered was still red as all hell on the inside so i threw that out and tried to just eat the rice cause it had sauce on it but it literally tasted like they used no salt it had no flavor and it almost tasted sour like it had gone bad i also ordered a sponge cake that was so dry i felt like i had eaten a bunch of popeyes biscuits with no water i also got Chinese black eye cakes maybe im being too critical about this particular item because i am chinese and grew up eating them but my god they really arent supposed to be that hard it was as if they were overly stale i totally regret ordering from here this is the first and the last...

Ordered from here for the first time. It’s not bad, but it’s not great either.

The phoulorie was cold by the time it got to me and almost damp, and served with pepper sauce, which is kind of odd, as it’s typically served with tamarind sauce.

The curry chicken came with paratha roti, but wasn’t buss up shot. The roti skin itself was fine. The curry chicken had but, but the curry sauce was the consistency of water and didn’t have that yellowish color to it, which was disappointing. Not the best I’ve had.

The best part was the jerk chicken, which was tender, boneless, and spicy. I will say that though it’s billed as jerk chicken, you can tell it’s not really a Jamaican recipe, as it has more of a peppery taste.

Overall, 3/5. I’d be willing to try it again, but I’m on now rush. I am curious...
