    Rasta pasta with salmon and shrimp

    It was my first time trying the place with a friend, and when I mean the food had absolutely no flavor not salt or pepper and the salmon was very dry. Honestly the only good thing was the cornbread.

    Lighthouse Jamaican Restaurant - Chicken stew with Mac and cheese

    Welp! What a disappointment. My family and I frequent this restaurant quite often when we are in…read morethe mood for Jamaican cuisine. This time was not that great. I ordered the meals via door dash pickup online and when I told the staff my order they had difficulty finding my order. That was the first issue. Before I could get the full word "door dash" out she blurted out that they did not confirm the order as if it was a delivery order. The next issue was that they ran out of jerk chicken. The man told me that there is some cooking in the oven and that it would be ready in 5 minutes. I was cool with that. At least I knew the food would be fresh. Problem! He lied the jerk chicken would not be ready in 5 min instead it was ready in 45 min. I should have cancelled my order and asked for a refund but I continued to wait. There were no apologies for the wait time or the rude customer service. When I got home to begin eating I noticed that they did not give us a substantial portion of meet. It was mainly bones. I felt like I definitely got ripped off. Also, I think they changed the recipe of the sauce for the jerk chicken because it was really sweet and tangy instead of being spicy. I don't think I will be back unfortunately. This is not the first time that I have had a bad experience at this restaurant. Whether its them running out of food, order not being ready for pickup, or bad customer service..it is always something. It is time to find another local Jamaican restaurant in the area. If you have any recommendations please send them my way! Cheers!

My order was a veggie platter, which I always order when I'm in the area. Your employee who was scrolling refused me service! I "always" pay for my entire order. I "never" ask for anything free... EVER! So that's a bald-faced lie! I work and can afford to pay for my food, thank you! Take responsibility and admit your employee was "rude" because my presence interrupted her scrolling! I was calm and never once raised my voice! She was loud and rude, and your other employee looked at her sideways. The one other customer in the store was like How did this escalate?" Did you hear the audio? As a true FLATBUSH head, born and raised New Yorker she was RUDE!

My wife spent over an hour searching for places and stumbled upon scotch bonnet kitchen. We think we heard of a place through the chef and owner Todd of Roti plus Trinidadian restaurant a couple miles away where we're regulars We decide we have nothing to lose and only to gain, and I'm glad that we did make the decision as it ended up being a really good surprising meal I understand a lot of these types of ethnic food. Restaurants are takeout only and we would of course prefer to stay out after being in the house all day, but regardless bringing the food home didn't change anything. It was delicious. So what did we order? I had the stewed snapper with plantains and cabbage. It was cooked to perfection. The meat fell right off the skeleton. My wife had a meat pie, the macaroni and cheese, and then she started digging into my dish as well, which is a good thing Unfortunately, we did not take any food photos, but it was a work of art and just as tasty and we will certainly be back. Need to try the oxtail and or the goat dishes. Very friendly staff helpful with this couple questions that we had for the part that we could see of the establishment very clean well organized seem to have a good system and the best part of all they were busy. That's a good sign means the food is tasty and food is fresh and more importantly food's going out the door so it's constantly being replenished. See you again real soon

    Food was delicious and tasted homemade. Portions were generous and the price was great.

    Have no idea how we never tried La Casona in the years my spouse worked nearby or how we missed it…read morein Yelp searches. Well we fixed that as of last night and wow did we have a tasty experience. Bryan, our server, made sure we were ordering in the best way possible to ensure our return trip. So many tasty dishes to choose from and we had both narrowed down to two which Bryan explained and guided us on. Ironically my dish per a Google AI search was the most enjoyed dish. Funny, AI can now even help summarize all the Google reviews and to distill it down for us in seconds. So on this Friday evening after work, here's what we ordered... we start off with a mango margarita which we shared and this was over ice not frozen in a properly salted glass and boy did it taste awesome. We started off with an appetizer of the.Pastelillos Boricuas (3 pieces), it was for us cooked to perfection. It was not over fried. The meat was tender. It was tasty. It was. The crust was soft, even though it had some crispness to it, and I would absolutely start with these again. For our mains, my wife had the Ropa Vienna Platter and she absolutely loved it and reminded her of her time down in Miami for school and getting local Cuban or Caribbean or Puerto Rican food and this just hit it for her. For me I followed my Google AI search... The standout, highly-rated dish at La Casona Restaurante & Bar in Hamilton is their Trifongo. Customers rave about this signature item, often ordered with Churrasco A La Criolla (skirt steak in a flavorful Creole sauce). This came in a wooden round bowl at first I thought it was a coconut shell. It was absolutely delicious moist tender tasty. Our whole dinner experience met exactly with what I was looking for when I told my wife I'm tired of our usual restaurants. I wanna try something different. I don't know what it is but it's a food group that we don't eat or don't eat often and that's how we found La Casona. They have a bar. There's a huge parking lot outback indoor outdoor dining. It's perfect for romantic night out for two as well as large groups. Note they have different pricing for cash paying versus credit card. Staff super friendly courteous the place is immaculately clean, and the food was scrumptious.

    I believe we've ordered from here for office events, and we went for dinner one night as a group,…read moreand all of it has been great experience - the food and the service. It's a relatively unassuming space; we went during the week, so it wasn't super crowded, but we had a good time there together. I can't recall exactly what I ordered, but the shared items and drinks and food were all delicious, and I would be down to return! Hope to order again from them in the future, or to visit again!

    Great Caribbean Food in NJ. My first time trying did not disappoint! 4/5 stars…read more The Curry Goat was the standout! The fact that they allow you to order meats by the pound is a definite plus. I also ordered the jerked chicken and pork. The great thing about it was both were super moist and flavorful. The only knock I would say is it lacked the grill/char I prefer on food that says "Jerked" Overall I enjoyed this very much, especially because it reminded me of the West Indian food I'd get in NY. DEFINITELY CHECK IT OUT

    Wow, I am Jamaican me happy and my belly. From the second, we walked in our greeting, explaining…read morethe hot dish items the evening to spice level food, preparation, questions, all delivered with a smile. From first meal here, my wife decided to make sort of a combo which was curry, chicken and jerk chicken with white rice and mac & cheese, and I have to tell you everything was outstanding for me the curry chicken I felt was it a different night necessarily better but I loved it way more than the jerk chicken. Curry chicken fell right off the bone Arrows full of flavor it was moist for my dinner. I had the snapper brown stew the whole fish, and I had the cabbage vegetable on the side with plantains, and it was just cooked to perfection. Next time I go back, I have to try the ox tail .
