Caribbean Paradise — Restaurant in Wilkes-Barre

Great place for Caribbean food and it is very clean. It's take out only, but still very worth it. Actually, it's better to take it home and enjoy yourself because it is finger-licking, lips-smacking good. You want to do that in private. Their beef and chicken patties are great, but they run out fast, so get there early. The greens and cabbage are always fresh and they have no pork products in the vegetables, which is good because many people here don't eat pork and the area has few places that offer pork free soul or Caribbean food! The food is not too salty, nor is it under-spiced like you find with some "ethnic" restaurants who try to accommodate to the local palate. It is fresh, did I say that already? I have to say it again because this couple(owners) takes good care to make sure they serve clean and fresh food. You get very good portions for the price and all the food is delicious, especially the oxtails. The owners are also very polite and down to earth. Honestly, this is one of the best restaurants in the area and the best in Caribbean or soul food. Please check them out. You won't regret going, but you will regret waiting so long to...

Omg! I just had THE BEST OXTAIL DINNER EVER!!! I'm still smacking my lips and licking my fingers while I'm typing this! I had them with rice and beans and collard greens. Fresh, tasty greens, perfect rice and beans, and a huge portion of tender, flavor packed oxtails. I actually had to stop halfway through and save the rest for later! If you have a desire for great Caribbean food and you don't get it here, you'll be doing your tastebuds and wallet a terrible disservice. My highest recommendation goes to Caribbean Paradise! ABSOLUTELY...

Good food, and good quantity, at really decent prices. I really wish I lived closer to supporting this business. There is NO inside seating. If your ordering more than 1-2 dishes, I would advise calling ahead to place the order as they are a small operation. I really enjoyed the food. Ordered the Medium Jerk Chicken with rice and peas (beans), greens and jerk sauce over it all! 🤤 very tasty They also have some unique import food and drink items on the shelves inside. See the picture of the menu for items available as of this...
