    Curry Chicken

    Food was amazing!! I had the curry chicken and my wife had the jerk chicken. Great deal, heavy plates, wonderful customer service.

    Love the food at Caribbean Cuisine!! You get a ton of food in your order. I always like bringing people to try the food and the service is always great.

    If you're craving authentic Trini flavors, Caribbean Cuisine in Glendale, AZ delivers a solid experience. Having lived in Trinidad, I've been on the lookout for curry goat roti. I had the curry goat roti, while I would've preferred dhalpuri roti, the buss-up-shot option I got hit the spot and satisfied my craving. My wife tried the stew chicken, but she thought it lacked depth, feeling like it was made from pre-cooked chicken, which lessened the experience for her. That said, the staff was warm and welcoming--true to Trini hospitality--and the portions were generous, though prices felt slightly steep. Overall, it's great to have this option in the Valley. If you're after a piece of Trinidad in Arizona, it's worth checking out! Saluti

    Curry Chana Chick Peas and Potato
    Ali B.

    Every time I have been to a Caribbean place my food has been amazing, but this may be the best! This is a total hole in the wall, definitely a great place for takeout though they do have some tables too! I got the curry Chana (chickpeas and potato) and it came with rice and fried plantains. The meal was absolutely massive, I had more than enough for leftovers. I also ordered festival online but was told they don't have it so they let me get a drink from the fridge instead, I got a fresh pressed ginger drink which was sweet and spicy. Service was good and my food was ready on time. Totally recommend!

    Raw chicken

    I travel the US and Caribbean islands as a job. Over the course of the last year I've eaten at over 2 dozen trini food spots. This by far is the worst "trini" spot I've ever eaten. The curry resembles Jamaican and Guyanese style of curry. The stew is like a watery Jamaican stew. Emphasis on watery with no flavor. I ordered the curry goat, stew chicken, curry chicken plate, and 2 buss up shut roti. The chicken wasn't cooked and flavorless. The stew is detailed above. The goat was above average in taste and firmness. The roti was INEDIBLE. do not order it. STAY CLEAR. RUN. I tried to eat it (yes I tried fresh. Didn't even leave the parking lot) and chipped a tooth. The roti was so hard and and empty that I would tell you to eat metal before you eat this roti.

    Caribbean food is a product of many cool cultures and healthy cooking. Great quality taste of meat and beans, Caribbean Cuisine! Service was smooth and ambiance was casual. However, parking seems to be very limited

    We ordered a Jerk Chicken Meal and a Jerk Wings Meal, both with rice and peas and steamed cabbage,…read morethrough DoorDash, and let me tell you...it was absolutely delicious! You can choose your jerk sauce as Sweet, Mild, or Spicy, and we both went with Spicy. In my opinion, that's the way to go! It's not so spicy that it overpowers the food. Instead, it has just the right amount of heat with a subtle sweetness that makes every bite incredibly flavorful. And let's talk about the portions! They are very generous, especially for the price. In today's economy, finding a restaurant that serves both delicious food and generous portions at a fair price is becoming harder and harder, so this was a pleasant surprise. We've actually been to Jamaica, and I can honestly say this meal took me right back to our island vacation years ago. The flavors were authentic, the jerk seasoning was spot on, and the rice and peas and steamed cabbage were the perfect sides to round out the meal. I can't wait to either dine in or order from them again because there are so many other dishes on the menu that I want to try. That said...my heart belongs to jerk chicken, so I already know I'll be ordering that again and again. Finally, a true taste of the islands right here in my own backyard!

Both meals came with generous portion sizes, which we appreciated. The oxtails were the standout dish. They were tender, well-seasoned, and very flavorful. The cabbage was also delicious. One thing that was different from other Jamaican restaurants we've visited was that the cabbage included peas, which was new to us, but it was still very good. The rice and beans were just okay. They could have used a bit more seasoning and flavor. The jerk chicken was also just average and didn't stand out as much as the oxtails. The prices are on the higher side, with most dinner entrees costing around $30 or more. However, they do offer weekly specials, which may provide a better value. They also feature live music on certain days, creating a fun atmosphere for those dining in. The restaurant is conveniently located in a shopping plaza surrounded by other businesses, including Dairy Queen, Jamba Juice, Kohl's, and several other shops, making it an easy stop if you're already in the area.

Everything was really, really good. Seasoning was on point and nothing was overly spicy. Both meats were super tender with excellent flavor! The cabbage wasn't anything to write home about. It was just cabbage. The rice and peas were yummy! The minus one star is because I didn't like that there were four small oxtails. For the price of $27 I was expecting at least one big one. I also didn't like the amount of bones in my brown stewed chicken lunch plate and the little amount of meat given. But then again, it was a lunch plate so I get it. Those patties were everything and the plantains were chefs kiss!! Hands down the BEST Jamaican food that we've had in AZ! Give them a try!

As…read moresomeone who lives in Chandler, I'm more than happy to drive all the way out here because this place serves what I believe is the best Jamaican food in the entire Phoenix area. The authentic Jamaican jerk chicken was packed with flavor--perfectly spiced, smoky, and tender. The oxtail was just as impressive, falling-off-the-bone tender and rich with that classic Caribbean taste. The coconut peas and rice were fresh, fluffy, and delicious, with just the right balance of coconut sweetness and savory notes. Everything tasted homemade and full of soul. For dessert, we had the pineapple upside-down cake, and it quickly became a family favorite. It was served warm, which made the flavors and textures even better--moist, caramelized pineapple on top with that perfect hint of spice. My kids loved it so much they were fighting over the last bites! My son also ordered the island punch drink, and he couldn't stop raving about how tasty it was. The guava flavor really came through and made it incredibly refreshing. From the warm hospitality to the generous portions and spot-on flavors, Topnotch Island Flavor Kitchen delivered an amazing experience. If you're craving real Jamaican food in the Valley, make the trip--you won't regret it. We'll definitely be back soon!
