Damn! That's some tasty food!…read more Bored of the usual rotation of restaurants, I thought I'd head into Spring Valley and give this place a try. They serve Jamaican food / Caribbean. Website? Nope. A menu? Not really. So I just drove there, went inside and nobody was around. Be patient - it's very chill here. Eventually, the chef/owner, I'm assuming, pops his head out and was such a delight! Very friendly, offered tastings of everything and explained what he was serving that day. The menu, you see, is just written on a dry erase board and fresh food is cooked daily. If he runs out, that's it. Today's menu started with stewed chicken, BBQ chicken, oxtail, curry goat, curry chicken, jerk pork, jerk chicken, Mac and cheese, callaloo, ackee and cow foot soup. There are about 10 or so tables inside and even a bar. Most people here seem to get takeout. On the tables were bottles of Jamaican scotch bonnet pepper sauce for extra kick. I tasted a couple things before deciding on the oxtail, the jerk pork and the curry chicken. The jerk here is the real deal! The aroma, spices, juiciness and flavor of charcoal grilling. OMG. So good! They sell food in small, medium and large containers. I opted for entrees that come with rice and beans, plus sauteed cabbage. Everything was delicious, but that jerk was outstanding. Prices seemed fair for the portions and freshness of the food. There are no written prices, but just ask and he'll happily convey them to you. Tropical Delicacy is in a very small strip mall, but I'd say there's adequate parking. Definitely give this one a try. He's open for lunch too and often sells out of things already after lunch is over.

I can't lie it's a bit hard to find this restaurant using navigation when walking is your mode of…read moretransportation, and you're not a native of the city. However, this is a hidden gem you should try. It appears to be a family owned restaurant. Decor is light and seating is sparse, so if you plan to bring a party of 4 or more I'd definitely suggest calling ahead to potentially make a reservation. We also came on an extremely hot day and sadly their A/C system wasn't working so it was on the warmer side. Not unbearable but a bit uncomfortable, so just keep that in mind if that's the case when you show up. What I will say when it comes to the experience and food is that it doesn't get more authentic than this. I asked for a recommendation and was told to order the griot, which was well seasoned and quite large portion size wise. The plate came with a rice of choice, two fried plantain, beans, pikliz and dipping sauce for the meat. Not bad for $20. I ordered to go because I had an event to go to, but can attest that they do a great job of plating their dishes when you dine in. If I'm ever in NYC again I wouldn't mind returning, dining in and hopefully trying something different like their Kalalou or legume which looks incredible.

Of course they put the burnt side down so I couldn't tell until I got home. It was just a soggy burnt mess. I couldn't even eat them. The employee there was visibly frustrated with her staff and came off as rude to her customers. Maybe this is just a place to go to for a drink because their food and customer service was not it. I will never go back.
