★★★☆☆ 3.0 Debra George · Dec 2025

I searched and found some west Indian food coming straight from the airport. I was starving. The spot has a very authentic vibe with a few Caribbean comfort items for purchase besides the food (hot sauce, biscuits, ackee, etc..) I tried the stew king fish with peas and rice and the oxtails with white rice. Both dinners came with sweet plantains and steamed veggies. The fish, although very tasty, was cooked a little too hard. I believe it was fresh as the lady told me it would take 20 minutes to cook. The oxtails were tasty but the gravy was very thin, which I'm not used to (Jamaican restaurants in NYC hot different) and there were no butter beans.. Interesting 🤔 because I've never eaten oxtails without rich thick gravy and butter beans. The plantains and peas and rice were delicious 🤤 The

This is a great Caribbean restaurant! Today was our first time eating here. We decided to dine in, so I ordered the Jerk chicken dinner and my spouse ordered the Oxtail dinner. The food was well-seasoned, spicy and very delicious! 😋 I also had a fruit punch drink which from the taste, I could tell was made from real fruit juices and not artificially made. My spouse had a Vita Malt which he really enjoyed. The atmosphere was very vibrant and the music made us feel as if we were in the Caribbean. 🏝️ I highly recommend this restaurant if you are looking for some great Jamaician food! 🇯🇲

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Akeerah S Williams · Dec 2025

The food looked so beautiful until you try eating it. The rice was hard. The oxtail was cold. The only hot thing that was in that platter were the vegetables & thts sad. I had just finished a shift and wanted something good to eat. I heard about Calabash and wanted to check them out. I live pretty close to the restaurant. So, it's not like I brought my food and had to drive far because I didn't. I brought my food, I went straight home to eat and the damn $30 Oxtail platter was cold and not worth $30. The veggies were great and hot 😋. The rice was hard and cold, one of the oxtails was warm one 😡😡😡😡. If you're prices are going to go up so should your temperature on the food you're serving

★★★★★ 5.0 Chanel Petty · Oct 2025

Visiting the area from out of state and had a taste for some good Jamaican food. I ordered the curry goat and oxtail and it came with plantain, rice and peas and cabbage.... 10/10!! The serving size was great for the $ and everything was so flavorful and tender. Even the roti skin I ordered on the side was delicious. I'll keep this place saved for whenever I come back to visit.

★★★★★ 5.0 Christa Smith · Nov 2025

I absolutely recommend this as a place for Jamaican food. The staff is super friendly. The food is also good. Having been here several times. I will definitely be coming back.
