I love to support black owned businesses and they are definitely worthy of being supported. The food is pretty good and portions are good. The service is friendly and quick! I've only tried the Jerk chicken so far which was delicious! I always request oxtail gravy on my rice, so I was able to get a taste of what their Oxtails taste like since there were a couple small pieces of the oxtail meat mixed in with the gravy and Omg it was Good!! I will most definitely be trying their Oxtails next!

We were totally blown away, the jerk pork was so well seasoned, that even the fat was beautifully caramelized and infused with lots of spices, the rice and peas made to perfection, the curry chicken (dark meat) was melt in your mouth, lots of sauce and a nice touch of all spice all around. I live in Bayside, Queens and i can tell you this will be my new spot for Home made Jamaican food.

We sat and was serviced downstairs versus being upstairs. Downstairs had a more chill vibe while upstairs was more vibrant and lively The place had a great vibe, mural on the walls up to the stairs, a flower wall with a swing. Great aesthetics for pictures. Between the individuals in our party, we ordered calamari, thai curry mussels, red red snapper with the sweet, spicy sauce and without, lamb chops and six boss. The lamb chops were a tad overcooked, but the rest of the food was really good Our drinks were nice. Service was a tad slow, but good experience overall.

The mango jerk wings were good but the oxtail boa buns were a big no. The buns were dry and there was barely any oxtail in it--The bottom was filled with coleslaw to fluff it up. It was on the pricier side which was shocking for 2 starters and one lil drink. The service was good, we sat at the bar so it was what you would expect. Would I go back? Yes, to try the entrees.

My Favorite Trini Food Find of 2026…read more Probably some of the best Trini food outside of Trinidad! This little food truck in the Walmart/Green Acres area of Valley Stream, New York, is an absolute GEM. OMG... as soon as I took a bite of those doubles, I was transported right back to the Princes Town market on a Sunday morning, 34 years ago. That first bite brought back memories in a way I honestly wasn't expecting. The doubles are OUT OF THIS WORLD -- and with a nice, cold Peardrax? Come on! I also took home the boneless curried chicken wrapped in a TRUE thin Trini-style dhalpuri. Wow. Just WOW. The dhalpuri, the curry, the seasoning... everything tasted like home. This might honestly be my favorite food spot of 2026! They're open Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and there is usually a line. But trust me -- the wait is SO worth it. The food is fresh, flavorful, and tastes like somebody's Trini aunty is back there cooking for you. If you love authentic Trinidadian food, DO NOT sleep on this place. Doubles + Peardrax + boneless curry chicken dhalpuri = HEAVEN.

We were seated immediately, it wasn't crowded but we came in between brunch and dinner so we had to wait until after 5 to order for dinner. Our waiter was Garnett, a very nice and attentive young man. Our order is in the pictures below. The food was really good, I will be returning to try other items on the menu. My one complaint is I have to pay $.75 for some gravy that was really greasy but I got over that after tasting the food . We were given some complimentary bun and cheese to take home after our meal.

I ordered a jerk chicken with rice and peas dinner from Peppas and what I got was highway robbery on a plate. They charged me $19 for what was literally the back end of a chicken--no meat, just bone and disappointment. That's not jerk chicken, that's chicken back, and serving that to paying customers? That's disrespectful on so many levels. The rice and peas? Tasteless. No flavor, no richness, no seasoning--just dry rice with a hint of embarrassment. You'd think for nearly twenty dollars, you'd at least get some gravy or a piece of actual chicken breast or thigh. But no, they really hit me with scraps and called it a meal. And let's not forget the mango pineapple juice--sweet enough to give you diabetes on the spot. It's basically syrup in a bottle. I was hoping for a taste of home, but this was the most disappointing takeout dinner I've ever ordered. If you know what real Jamaican food is supposed to taste like, skip this place and save your money--and your blood sugar.

After going to Jamaica Breeze quite a few times, the baseline reality here remains rock solid: they…read moredo not disappoint. When you walk in for the lunch or dinner rush, the sheer volume of options hits you immediately. The protein lineup alone is a masterclass in variety, covering every angle from deeply smoky jerk chicken, BBQ, and rich brown stew to curry goat, tender pork, and pristine fish like porgie and red snapper. It's supported by an endless array of staples--perfectly executed rice and peas, clean white rice, green bananas, and sweet, caramelized plantains. There is quite literally too much to list, but the execution remains remarkably high across the board. The staff keeps the line moving with a pleasant, welcoming energy, and while the legendary Jamaican breakfast menu remains uncharted territory for me, the dinner rotation alone makes this place an automatic favorite. Food (4/5): A massive victory for variety and flavor. To pull off this many traditional Caribbean proteins--from oxtail and curry to perfectly fried fish--and keep them all consistently tender and deeply seasoned at a buffet scale is a serious achievement. Decor (3.25/5): Unpretentious, functional, and clean. It's a space built for high-volume neighborhood traffic where the visual focus is kept exactly where it belongs: on the food. Customer Service: The staff is consistently warm, patient, and efficient, maintaining a welcoming neighborhood vibe even when the counter gets absolutely slammed. Price: Around $15 per person. For a heavy, high-quality, fill-your-plate to the brim ..... Caribbean feast in this day and age, the value here is completely unmatched.

So many fellow vegans, vegetarians and plant-based people recommended it. There were a few incredible standouts. The escovitch blew my expectations away. I couldn't believe it was made from tofu. The chef transformed it with seaweed and the breading. The yuca fries and sauce were also so delicious. The okra got rave reviews. I wasn't a fan of the vegan oxtails. I was expecting both the texture and flavor of Jamaican oxtails but the dish only captured the flavor. The vegan oxtails were mushroom caps. As many reviews have noted, almost everything here is made to order so plan to wait 30-45 minutes for your food. The Jamaican patties and desserts are available quickly. I recommend ordering ahead and picking up your food because the restaurant itself isn't really designed to have a sit down meal. Overall, the food was good and if I am in the area again, I would return to try other things on the menu. But I wouldn't make a whole trip for it.
