    The best food! It's so hard to find good vegan food with big portions at a fair price and these…read moreguys hit the mark every time without fail. We always have full, happy bellies with leftovers to enjoy the next day. The food is consistently amazing and the staff/owners are wonderful! We choose this place over any local vegan option nearly every time and happily make the 30 minute drive without hesitation! A must try even if you aren't vegan

The large combo platter comprises your choice of seven dishes, the medium platter is five choices, and the small is three. The five items depicted in my photo of my medium-size plate are, clockwise from the top, grilled tofu, steamed broccoli, baked sweet potatoes, sautéed green beans with red peppers, and curried potatoes. The above descriptions double as the simple names of the dishes. The food does not masquerade behind pretentious titles, nor does it appear flamboyant or pretend to be fanciful. What you're served are affordable and generous portions of delicious and nutritious food. Real food. Americans call this natural food. In the Rasta lexicon, natural foods are redefined as Ital foods. As you might adduce from the photo, the café's two owners are Rastas, and their cuisine is authentic Jamaican Rastafari Ital. "Ital" is derived from the word "vital." To provide "vitality," Ital food on your plate differs little from how it looks on the farm. Ital food is usually vegan, but not always. Only four of the five Rasta cafés in Connecticut and nearby Worcester are strictly vegan. As there is no Board of Ital Cuisine to issue certifications, Ital cooking does vary with the territory. The Ital food served at Caribbean Style Vegan is, as its name attests, always vegan. It also is always nourishing, colorful, and skillfully prepared. Nothing is ever too spicy or too salty or too sweet or too oily or overcooked or undercooked. Grilled in a spicy barbecue sauce, even the jerk tofu is humanely spiced. With just the medium platters, I always feel satiated but never bloated, evidence of the frugal use or total absence of oil. Never drowned in oily sauces, the veggies remain visually recognizable and inherently flavorful. Caribbean Style Vegan stands as my favorite of the seven Ital cafés in which I have dined both stateside and in Jamaica. At the two Ital cafés that I visited in Kingston, neither served any mock meats. Yet at some cafés in the U.S., their varieties of mock meats almost equal their numbers of veggie dishes. I am mystified that in our corner of New England they serve so many highly processed mock meats, a concession to the American lust for meat. In contrast, Caribbean Style Vegan upholds a higher standard. It serves only a single mock meat. Grains, beans, greens, and root vegetables predominate. Most veggies are steamed; a few are sautéed; none are deep-fried. My kind of food. For in-house dining, you'll find two sunlit tables along the south-facing wall of plate glass window. Still, the café is more conducive for takeout. I have witnessed a steady flow of regular customers who sometimes place multiple orders of takeout meals to deliver to their families waiting at home. Yet even when other customers wait in line with you, the wait is always short. Their social media accounts is seldom updated. So view only their website. Yet, the website menu is viewable only during open hours. To place an online order or simply to view the website menu, you must wait until 12 noon, Wednesday to Saturday.

    Jazzys is a community favorite for weekend brunch events, open mic nights, and weekend nightlife!!…read moreAnyone who's been out in New Haven on the weekend has probably heard of Jazzys! This Black owned business keeps the New Haven nightlife full of life. Now onto the food, I've been to several events that catered from Jazzys and the food is always always AMAZING for catered events!!! I went to a Yale sponsored panel that featured sweet potato corn bread from Jazzys--- absolutely delicious. They also served curry chicken, baked chicken with their signature sauces, cilantro rice, rice and peas, lentil Pattie's, plantains and cabbage. I was blown away. I went to Jazzys to dine in for dinner and unfortunately the food wasn't as good in the restaurant. The menu also wasn't as expansive. I'm not sure if it was an off night for Jazzys but I wasn't impressed by my dine-in experience. That being said, I've had catered food from Jazzys about 5 times and each time the food is amazing! TLDR: this a great option for night life or catering.
