Shawni's Authentic Caribbean Cuisine — Restaurant in Roselle

It’s so good that I’m on my way there now!!! I’ll open up for them! Im meeting them before they get there! PeriodT! Honestly I’m here now on this beautiful Saturday , yaaas lawd! I’m officially TOP 3 ( YUP) of getting the third plate made fresh from the pot! Why 3? I figure they made a plate for themselves..then myself. I don’t even think they know I’m here because no one ever came to the front, that’s how early I am 😂 .. uh uh wait she came out .... I’m officially THE FIRST PLATE for sure now because she said “ oh you’re the one who called about the oxtails?!” “You have to give them time, they’re still tough.” So I replied “No problem ma’am.” Y’all heard it hear first 😭😭🤣😂 First Place 🥇 called at 9:59 am, left 45 mins later and still here at 11:09 am! First Place, First Plate Son! Someone just called and placed an order , they probably think they’re first 🙃😭🤣🤣 👎🏽 NOPE! I am 😭😭😂🙌🏽🤦🏾‍♀️ I need help , but that’s how good this place...

My very first time ever trying authentic Jamaican food and I am impressed with how delicious the food was. Oxtail was delicious along with the rice. The oxtail had a unique sweet taste. For not being a veggie eater I liked the cabbage that was included in the order. Sweet plantains are perfect. Jerk Chicken is also tasty and rich in flavor despite it's spiciness that caught me by surprise lol. Brown stew chicken also a plus and finally the curry goat was one of the best dishes with goat that I ever tried. This establishment definitely gives you hunger satisfying portions for your money. The front desk clerk is so kind and friendly that she is always asking me to spread the word which I always respond with "of course" with enthusiasm. I like supporting smalls businesses like this one which is why I order from this place at least once every other week that's how much I am fascinated...

If I was wasn’t such an easy going person, I would be on fire 🔥 right now, but here it is. I ordered from Uber Eats, 3 out of the four items I ordered were replaced with other things without my knowledge, I ordered a veggie patty and they sent a curry chicken patty, i ordered a coconut water, they sent me a grapefruit soda, 😂😂😂 I cant make this stuff up!!! This is outrageous that they are bold enough to think they can just do whatever they want with people order. If I didn’t call there asking for something else, the Jamaican fruit cake I ordered they would have just sent me an pineapple fruit cake without my knowledge, the food was tasty, i will give them that, but the presentation was disappointing. I probably won’t order from ...
