What I wanted was sexy succulent oxtails were the gravy covers your lips and coats your tongue meat so tender you don't have to chew just swallow flavor so good you wanna eat your own fingers with rice and peas and juicy sweet plantains I GOTS NONE OF THAT I never had dry oxtail no gravy whatsoever. Tender but not as tender as it could be. The plantains were also dry and hard not really sweet. They left the super big stems from the fresh herbs. The oxtail and plantains were so dry I could swear they were cooked at least a week ahead of time. The rice was okay and so was the patties. I had one beef and one chicken curry. Over all I was so so disappointed and for $25 a platter like I really want my money back. I will never go back. You should always take pride in your food and business. read more

I was in Jersey for a concert and was really hungry. I drove around a bit and came across this Jamaican spot; you can imagine how excited I was, since I'm an Island girl. I ordered a side of Jerk chicken, patties and a drink. I could not wait to eat. (Sigh) I was a bit disappointed because the Jerk chicken portions were way too big and it seemed as if they were done in the oven instead of on the grill. Authentic Jamaican Jerk Chicken is not usually served with gravy and this had way too much; it was almost like a stew but with less gravy. I ate it because it was edible but I'm not so sure I'll be back now, I could be nit picking because, like I said, I'm an island girl and I grew up on this type of food so YOU may like it if you end up going here. read more

I walked in to order only to find out that most of the items on the menu were unavailable. The food I did order was decent but the service was slow - it took a lot of time to receive some easy to prep items. read more

Ordered take out again ... decided to try the Garlic Shrimp (along with our usual Jerk Chicken and Brown Stewed Chicken). Not sure it was a good idea ... as the (few) shrimps were large ... but lacked flavor and definitely needed more garlic. Even the chicken platters also seemed like they could have been seasoned more as well. read more

I had their jerk wings and chicken curry as well as their Jerk Chicken in sauce and their empanadas. Their jerk wings were not very good and dry. Their chicken curry and jerk chicken in sauce were very flavorful. I didn't not like their empanadas as they were not fresh but kept warm. For someone going in for the first time the people were not very friendly nor accommodating to help you and explain to you their dishes. My favorite and the reason I would go back to order this curry chicken. It was flavorful and very good. read more

I love Jamaican food but this place just wasn't it for me. The food looks delicious but has absolutely 0 taste. I honestly couldn't finish my platter! I hate wasting food but I just couldn't eat it. The rice was so hard and the plantains were full of oil. I also want to say I love cabbage but this is definitely the first time I couldn't even take more than a bite!!! read more

I was hype for some Jamaican food and saw this. Despite the reviews I'm thinking it can't be that bad. Sadly it was, I got the jerk chicken which was dry literally dry. I had to throw bbq sauce on it because I had no jerk at home. Cabbage was bland and rice wasn't fully cooked. The beef & cheese empanada was really good! The staff was friendly. I would not go back though. read more

I came in around 4pm on a Saturday and ordered the curry chicken, patties, and a rum cake. Everything was incredible!! Including the rice & peas, cabbage, and plantains that came with. Amazing flavor and good portions. The staff were very kind and welcoming even seeing that they were a bit busy. I've been trying to find a good Jamaican spot in this area and this is it! Highly recommend to anyone interested. Will definitely come back, thank you for the delicious meal! read more

Great food! Nice island atmosphere! Employees appreciate your business! Courteous service to everyone!

Big portion and incredible flavor. Very clean place. I got the jerk chicken with rice and beans, cabbage , and plantains. It was so good. I also got a pineapple lemonade that was soooo good read more

Just had the curry chicken platter. The meat was so tender and seasoned to perfection. My 10 year old also enjoyed it. Plantains delicious. I highly recommend and will be back. read more

Just nasty no flavor. And she was rude. Save your money and go somewhere else. I was very very disappointed in my food

The food was sub par at best. I ordered the jerk chicken and it came with cabbage and carrots, red beans and rice, and fried plantains. The amount of food was great and my first bite of chicken was okay and got progressively worse. The chicken was old and visible dry. I couldn't even finish it. There wasn't even any gravy to mask it. My mom and husband had two different meals and complained of having no gravy. That is very different than being served old dry chicken. I am disappointed and will never order here again. read more

Save your time and money. I've ate from here before and it was not this bad. The prices have increased greatly and the quality of food has greatly decreased. 22$ for a large oxtail and this is what I got. read more

Caribbean Paradise - Supposedly a large oxtail. Paying more isn't the problem, decreasing the quality of food and charging more is though. - Caribbean Near Me - Sewell, New Jersey

I'm very mad at this place they spit in my food and told me that I need to go back to Europe "with my white ass" ( I am Egyptian ) they gave me a fish head instead of jerk chicken rice was very undercooked and it tasted very bad 10 out of 10 read more

Tender and delicious oxtails. The rice and peas and Mac and cheese are great accompaniments. The curried goat is also very good.

It's been a while since I had some really good Caribbean food. It's almost not fair that I compare all other Caribbean food to the one on south street. Anyway I was really excited because they had the parking lot seating decked out like the one on south street, and I was like, "Finally some really good jerk chicken after being disappointed so often!" Obviously I walked in excited and the girl who greeted me seemed friendly. I told her I was really excited to find this place, and she kinda gave me an annoyed attitude. I was torn between the ox tail and jerk chicken, but opted for the jerk chicken because I wanted that spice. First bite I was like, okay I taste hints of jerk but absolute no spice or wow factor. Everything tasted watered down. Not terrible but not great. So now I'm going to have to plan a special trip to Philly and battle parking to satisfy my jerk chicken craving. read more

A little spot of the Caribbean that offers big Jamaican favors can be found here in Twp. The moment you walk in the door, the aroma created additional anticipation for the food. We ordered, the Oxtail & Butter Beans, Jerk Chicken and Brown Stewed Chicken each served with rice and peas, plantains and cabbage with an Appetizer portion of Mac and Cheese. Everything was fork tender and kissed with jerked seasoning to delicious perfection. The meal was topped off with their Mango Coconut Cheesecake, fantastic! They have ample outside seating with music and on the weekends the outside grill is going with additional specials. read more

Great food and hearty portions! Great family owned Jamaican food at a great price the staff are friendly and the shop is such a gem!

We have ordered from Caribbean Paradise several times over the past couple of years, and every time it is seriously delicious. My husband orders jerk chicken, goat, and oxtail and I usually go with chicken or shrimp. We don't have pictures to add because we usually devour it as soon as we get it home. Even my two year old kept coming back for more bites of chicken which fell off the bone and my son was excited to try the oxtail! This time we tried the mango carrot juice too and it was so good! The people who work there are so friendly and the portions are always enough for a couple of meals for us. read more

Awesome spot in Washington Township! Can't believe I didn't come sooner! We got the jerk chicken and chicken curry, both were excellent! Great portions, great prices, you'll love it here! read more

My husband and I got an order delivered. It was quick, well wrapped and nice and hot. We tried the stewed oxtail & beans and the brown stewed chicken. It was surprisingly delicious! The sides of cabbage & red beans and rice were also great. Our first try for Caribbean food, we were not disappointed. We will be ordering again soon. Simply delicious, great job Caribbean Paradise! read more

This food was very good. It's hard to find legit Jamaican food in south Jersey but this place is a great find. Im from New York so I know what I'm talking about. The jerk wings are spectacular. The beef patty was awesome. Also, they cater with an online catering order option. read more

Just grabbed a jerk chicken combo, everything was fresh, chicken was moist but still had a crisp to the litter layer. A must have if you are in the area! read more

I ordered the Curry Shrimp through Uber Eats. Everything was wayyyy too salty. It tasted like they dropped the salt in the curry sauce. Contrarily, the fried plantain was dry and unseasoned. I couldn't eat it and wasted money. Very disappointed. read more

I ordered Curry goat from this restaurant. The food was so salty I could not eat it. It seemed like they dumped so much salt in the curry goat , rice and cabbage. If you wan your blood pressure to go up very, very high then eat there. They would not return my money. I spent $14 and I could not eat the food. Do not, do not eat at this restaurant!! DO NOT EAT THE FOOD!! read more

Absolutely HORRIBLE! I got brown stew snapper and it was very small, dry, the rice was dry! My husband got Jerk chicken and it had no taste, no spice and was wet! I'm so disappointed read more

when you are trying to satisfy your customer with a decent amount of food in your goat platter this is not the place I would ever buy the goat platter again because the lady only put 1 spoon of goat meat on top of a full platter of rice and peas obviously they are not looking for return customers. read more

We had a taste for oxtails and came across Caribbean Paradise during our google search. So we figured we'd give them a try. We ordered 2 oxtails platters and 2 beef patties with a Kola. The only thing that didn't disappoint us was the Kola. The beef patties were dried out and tasted old. As for the oxtails, well we both ended up on the toilet. They tasted scorched, even had black burnt pieces in it. Need less to say we will never order from them again. read more

Great service! Really awesome food! So great to get authentic Caribbean food so close!
