The meat was cooked well and was tender and it had great flavor to it. The rice and peas, as well as the veg was good as well. All in all, it was a good dish and I enjoyed it. I would definitely order from here again. I do miss the days veg and plantain was included in the meal, but I guess those are dying days and you now have to pay separate for what used to come with it by default.

Flamez was completely able to fill that void.  I have been craving Oxtail for quite sometime and decided to give this restaurant a try. I am so happy I did. The food was amazing. The portions were huge. I got a large oxtail and white rice. I also got two medium sizes of oxtail with peas and rice and steamed vegetables. The rice was flavorful, soft and fluffy. The oxtail was meaty, full of seasoning and had the most tasty gravy. I was also able to get some festival which i was so surprised they had. The flavor was on point, the outside was crispy with the inside still beinf soft and fluffy. Do yourself a favor and get a slice of red velvet cake. It's so delicious i could barely explain it in words. Thank me later.  This meal was absolutely delicious and I cannot wait to keep ordering from here.

As it can be seen in the pics, there was so much grease it saturated the box and bag I received it in. AS one can imagine I was totally embarrassed and MEH VEX!!! I was in correspondence with the owner to place the order, so after I rcvd it I forwarded these pics and he admitted there was a mistake made by his staff. He later tried to convince me it was GRAVY that spilled out and stated gravy always spills out when customers leave the restaurant. Can you imagine?? Anyone with eyes can see that's GREASE!!! The owner agreed to give me a partial reimbursement but back bit me when it came time to pay up. He pretended not to know what was going on, as of today. He totally wasted my time by having someone come to the establishment to collect the funds, then lied and said we didn't have an understanding with me about reimbursement. I still have the Whatsapp txt to prove it. Bottom line, DO NOT cater food from BIG DADDY's IN BX on WHITE PLAINS RD. He's a FRAUD!!!!

Completely surprised by the outcome, especially as this was an Uber Eats order. I was shocked and happy by the amount of food received, which turned out to be more than enough to last a few days. The Rice and Peas were fresh in a good way. Only thing is I could've used more gravy on the rice. The Oxtails were tender and seasoned properly. Tasted a little of the Jerk Pork and they were also tender with that smoky Jerk Spice. Considering this delivery came all the way from Mount Vernon, I have to give them five stars. Will order again. Hope the consistency remains the same.

Well not only was the pepper shrimp spicy but it was the best I've ever had. The shrimp was so big plumped and juicy. I didn't expect it to be nicely coated with such delicious flavor. My mouth is still watering as I write this review. I paid a little over $17, but it didn't bother me because it was fresh shrimp and veggies and of the amount of food I received was a lot. I mean they could have threw in a free small beverage to go along with it, but I wasn't mad, because this is NYC. I've paid higher prices for food that had less amounts and not even worth the price, but anyway I digress. The restaurant is quite small but big enough for you to stay and dine if you wanted. Along with great customer service, and delicious food a girl couldn't ask for anything more. Not to mention they were playing music to bop your head along with. I don't know if I would return for anything else on the menu right away because I would be hooked to buying the pepper shrimp again. When I get past that I would try something else. Overall, my meal was five stars but since I've only had one amazing item, and I don't know yet If it would be consistent , Im giving them four stars. I think they are worth visiting. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!

It's a family-owned, halal establishment known for generous portions, and it has been a community staple for over 25 years. I heard about Carifesta on social media and wanted to check it out. My daughter and I drove from Connecticut to try the food. When we arrived, the staff told me there would be a 45-minute wait. No problem. We ordered the Guyanese Chicken with Lo Mein, Jerk Chicken Sliders, and the Guyanese Fried Chicken. The Guyanese Fried Chicken was very flavorful but overfried. The chicken had a bone, and as I ate, it fell apart, which told me it was overfried. Next, I tried the Chicken with Lo Mein, and the noodles were overcooked and lacked flavor. The chicken was good and tasted like baked chicken. It had good flavor, but it wasn't out of this world. My daughter had the Jerk Chicken Sliders, and she said they were okay. She said she tasted the Jerk flavor, but the chicken lacked flavor. I'm not sure if they were having an off day, but if I'm in the area, I would give them another tryout.

I'm a…read moreprecovid frequent dinner and take out was never really my problem thing when I frequented here because it had a certain ambiance with the service when ever I dinned in there that brought me back over and over with different people to experience. So I was so very disappointed when after Covid they continued with the only pick up service. The food quality is enough to continue yes but the vibe dining in and at the bar I truly miss. My daughters fell in love with this place because every time we walked into that dinning room there was a particular servers who KNEW US. They knew us enough to know my daughters had a favorite table (the 1st we sat at dinning there). They know us to know that my daughters had special distinction drink mocktails (one of the reasons the fell in love wit this place) that they could order even when it was no longer in the menu. This was one of those places we frequented....even if they couldn't get their special table or waiter, the quality never disappointed. During Covid we order delivery regularly because we didn't realize how much this spot because our Caribbean food must have. I can't say we ever really had tried a different meal from over favorable ones that made us say this is one thing they don't get right to us. And the rum punches and Bob Marley drinks they served during their dinning days is what got me to the pin t I had to start stopping in this joint just to have a drink and appetizers. This really used to be by spot back when they had dine in services. Over the years it's in our delivery/pickup Bronx favorite list unfortunately. I say unfortunately because now that we are back at full operational living. I har to slash the delivery/pickup weekly rituals to only situations of desperation not necessity. So this spot has only become a craving order delivery/pickup order spot. Not a I got some/gonna make some time to go enjoy a drink and some Caribbean food spot destination. Which this was my #1 default choice before Covid as I said this used to be my spot. I would take my daughters here damn there biweekly if not be there weekly myself on dates and when hanging out . Cause they people there were serious enough about customer service they would acknowledge knowing who you are and treat you as such. Hence again why my daughters loved this place as kids. *Looks right and left* a yoo when yall opening the dinning in area again cause it's been log enough now...FIX IT! lol

I remember when Fish N' Ting first opened several years ago and I'm pleased to know that this family run establishment is still kicking. I would put it in my top five list for Jamaican restaurants in the city. The menu is wide and varying and accommodating of different diets. If you love jerk chicken, you need to try it here! The jerk chicken lovers in my life can't get enough. My recommended dishes are the whiting (fried) with rice and peas, rasta pasta and now the lobster (which I didn't know they had). The seafood is made to order, fresh and super tasty. I never thought sweet chili and lobster would be a good combo but it totally rocks! It was truly delectable. My only issue is that they charge for gravy if the dish isn't saucy (as if) lol but I get it!
