At heart, I'm a man that truly enjoy most Caribbean dishes ( oxtails, goat, curry/jerk chicken,…read moreroti, etc ) So, I set out on a quest to give a new Caribbean cuisine restaurant a shot at winning me over. That's when I bumped into Caribbean Dish... The name got me, yes it's basic, but the title was exactly what I was looking for. The restaurant is in a small unassuming parking lot... if you don't know it's there, you probably will miss it ( so glad I didn't !! ) The minute I walked in, I felt authentic family vibes ( something I look for when choosing my Caribbean locations ) The service was very friendly, and they cleared everything up when I wasn't sure if my particular craving could be fulfilled ( the combo I desired wasn't on their daily menu ) My sights were set on the oxtail and curry goat combo ( of course with rice & peas and veggies ! ) And when I say the goat was tender, and seasoned to perfection... while the oxtails had that juicy meatiness that will for sure keep me coming back. The rice & peas were cooked just right ( texture was on point ) and the veggies still had that freshness that brought everything else together. I love my Caribbean dishes saucy and not dry ( they get two thumbs up in that department ! ) Family vibes, cheerful greeting, and amazing food.... Caribbean Dish you just locked yourself in a loyal customer !!!!! Give them a shot and I can almost guarantee you won't be disappointed !!!

This is a take out spot, quaint and CLEAN. Credit card orders incur an additional fee. Anyhoo, I had never heard of this place and funny enough have driven by it so many times. I attempted to call beforehand, but orders are not taken on the phone. I believe there is online ordering available via their site and other food delivery services. I got the curry chicken buss up shut with a side of spinach. Huge portion! Curry is delightful, aloo is perfect, spinach, dope. Buss up shut, better than my Aunties, but don't tell her that...eek!

I put the food in the fridge for 4 and half hours to return to you. Of course the blood is going to coagulate. I was told returns or refunds aren't ever given because that's your policy. But since I talked to her husband she would honor the exchange. While giving it back I was being reprimanded the whole time. Yet I nodded and said ok thank you the entire time. It's cool but never again. Thanks for the lessons on what never to do when handling a customer. Sir get your wife out the store front. This exchange could've been so much better. I hope y'all learn and grow from this. Update: WHAT PART OF IT WAS FREE!!! You still have my money and the chicken is in your trashcan!!! I was just called a con man for returning and trashing partly cooked food. As I stated I've never had bbq from here. Not the fact it was Trini or bbq period. Accept it and keep moving lady. You guys are sad and shouldn't be in business. You take no accountability and have lack of respect for people who patronize your business. What does Uber have to do with anything? You still have my money!?!? You're a tyrant stealing from the community. if I'm a con man, you're a thief, liar and you're gonna make someone sick. get it together. Please post whatever evidence you have. Make me into what I know you to be. I came all the way across town to exchange food and you disrespect me. You're not worth the corner stone you sit on!

I ordered their combo platter with the whole lot of their curry entree offerings (oxtail, chicken, shrimp). The platter was definitely enough for a double meal, but I was hungry so it went down quite readily. You'd probably get better value ordering regular platters (based on sides and rice), but the combo was a good way to sample all of them for my solitary self. Food quality is definitely there in spades. The whole thing smelled delicious on the way up my elevator and it was an explosion of flavor in my mouth. The pilaf was just perfect to go along with the curries that I could not describe (but trust me, it was good). The plantains and cabbage were solid sides to go with the main course and were cooked to perfection. Now if only they came to my locale more often...

For my introductory meal to Caribbean Grill, I decided on the Goat Roti. In my opinion, the Goat Roti was basically two servings, which was approximately $15 (a win). As it relates to taste, for me, I was expecting a little bit my flavoring and succulent-ness (lol I know it's not a word) of the goat with more potatoes on the inside of the roti. But overall, it was okay. I will definitely be open to trying another dish (when I am in the area) to make another assessment of the Caribbean Grill.

They take orders without the food being done so while it's hot and fresh once you get it you could have gone home prepped and cooked by the time you get the thing you ordered.
