    Local businesses that was introduced to me by a friend that has a strict diet. Love our their food is always grabbing my attention . Staff are beautiful eye candy to look at as your plates are getting filled up.

    Was chicken foot soup ,OMG!
    Luv B.

    I ordered chicken foot soup, salt fish with white rice and dhal. Everything was so good. It's 2 million degrees outside, and I'm eating this chicken foot soup. That's how good it is. They give you a lot of food too. I really enjoyed it.

    If you want chicken back , only bones in your soup.. that's a potato, not chicken

    I really didn't want to do this, but after going in and trying to see if they could do something, I had to do this. I've supported them since down on church and their soup is something to look forward to. After a long work day, long flight, just anything, they were something to look forward to as long as they were open. Today though, they had mostly bones in the soup. There's usually a variety of provisions, but today, something was off. So I went back in to see if it could be fixed after taking a few sips of broth and realizing there wasn't a piece of chicken in a $8 cup of chicken soup. From my previous visits, you can see how they prepare the soup, they just throw the meat and provisions you want into the plain broth when preparing your order. Meaning she purposely put those bones in the cup lol When I asked AND showed the server the bones one looked sorry and the other basically said thats what it's supposed to be, chicken parts... with no meat on it.. I've been here more than I could count and never felt like this. That's why I'm even giving 2 stars.. Sadly, they lost another customer today, not that they cared. Do better, esp for your people .

    Bottom right please with an extra sauce!

    I pulled up to the old location and called to find out they moved to 410 Utica! Here I come, lol it's that good. Worth going a little out of my way. I'm even waiting 10 mins for fresh polouri to be done. The new space is more open, inviting, less cramped, I love it. Of course while here a customer comes in maskless, no one said anything, he was served and since left. I almost said something but I think he was Rasta and I doubt my words would've mattered. Oh well! Welcome to Brooklyn. Sat my masked up ass down and will wait patiently for my food.

    First off let me start by saying I have been to the original Germans Location in Georgetown Guyana on New Market Street so when I found out that they were opening up a location in Brooklyn (where I live) I was SOO happy. If you want to experience REAL authentic curry chicken then look no further Yes , they are known for the soups which is delicious btw. They even have PEPPER POT which is like the holy grail for any Guyanese and traditionally served for Christmas but they have it all year round. I really can't complain I haven't gotten a chance to visit the location yet but I have ordered on Uber eats many times. I recommend it to everyone

    This rating is for their food. Not their soup. The soup gets 5 stars but the food gets 1 star. Seems like they recently added blackened whiting to the menu, forgot to tell me and added it to my order when I asked for fried whiting. They were so clever sneaking in the burnt, I mean blackened fish that they had the blackened side turned downward atop some very dried cook-up-rice. The food and presentation was horrible! Seriously folks, WHAT IS THIS? I wouldn't serve this to a stray dog. Stuuups. Lesson learned I'm only returning for their soup NOTHING else.

    Not sure why this restaurant is on Uber Eats. I last ordered in April and half of the menu isnt available no matter what time you order. That first order included a roti which they must have microwaved and by the time it got to me it was as crisp and hard as a biscuit. Too bad because as a Guyanese the menu is amazing.

    I went to Germans on a Friday evening after work around 7:00pm with a friend. There were about two people ahead of us in line. We came there specifically for soup. I ordered the large cowheel and a large chicken. My friend ordered the large cowheel as well; though we both pondered on the beef soup. While pondering on line I noticed the art on the wall: an old school photograph blown up of Germans back in the day, I'm guessing Guyana. I thought that was cute. This is a takeout spot although there is a large communal table in the center of the restaurant seating 6-8. It isn't immediate service, you wait for the number on your receipt to be called. I tasted both soups and I was quite impressed. They are hearty, seasoned well and just all around good and filling. Exactly what you'd like a great homemade soup to be. So, although it's not necessarily eat in restaurant (you could snag a spot and nosh if necessary) and there is a wait I still give 5 stars for the taste and value (large is large).

    Beef soup and pepper pot meal

    This wasn't what I was expecting. The internet calls this place "legendary " and there was good business the day I came. Maybe I didn't order it's most promising items. I got the beef soup and the pepperpot meal and mauby drink. I thought the meat was too dry and I did not enjoy it. The sauce was sweet, which is not what I was expecting either. I thought it would be peppery but it was not but rather clove-y. The soup was different but did not taste different. What I mean is that the ingredients were different but for some reason could have passed for any generic American soup. It wasn't that it was bad, just boring. The portions are large and it's a good deal for someone wanting a homey, filling meal, but just not for me.

    UPDATE: Decided to come in for lunch today and I got to the register trying to decide whether I want shrimp lo mein or barbecue chicken and fried rice. I got the barbecue chicken just because last time it was seasoned and flavored well. This time around the rice was lacking salt. I was seasoned but just needed salt to give it more. The barbecue chicken was terrible: the chicken didn't taste seasoned to me, it was most definitely burnt. Some pieces were super hard to break and chewy. Not to mention that the taste of the chicken was just like eating burnt chicken. Had to change my rating from a 4 to a 3.

    "Deep in Brooklyn, hides the Caribbean"…read more Came here on sleepy Tuesday. Not many people in the restaurant but lots of take out going on. The friendly one woman staff helped seat us, recommend the dishes, made the drinks, prepped and served the food. It was all tasty. What's to cheer - Nice not to too sweet homemade rum punch - Solid, flavorful oxtail. Very island spiced and cooked well - Goat was also really strong - Reasonable prices - service with personality What's to jeer - they were out of the jerk chicken unfortunately which I really wanted to try - place is pretty low key and not swimming with ambience

Service was excellent, we felt like we were visiting an old friend who happens to have a great restaurant. The food was delicious, we had the home made sorrel perfectly sweetened and the right amount of ginger. The oxtail with rice and peas with cabbage was on point. The meat was perfectly tender and the gravy was savory, the rice and peas was moist and delicious, the cabbage had a nice flavor and texture and the side of fry plantains were perfect, the right level of soft and sweet. Do yourself a favor and visit Islands. Cool .

Their playlist is great so vibes were on point. We all shared the lemon drop cocktail tower. It was super cute, tasty, fun, and did what it had to do for us pre-day party. For food, I tried the bao fish tacos and the crab curry gyoza. Both of these items were good but for the amount that comes with them it's pricy (you get 2 small bao tacos and 4 pieces of gyoza, both of which are $20-22 each). I liked the bao tacos the most because of the mixture of flavors and textures, including the excellently friend fish. The gyoza was different. It wasn't bad but I think I'm just used to crispy/fried gyoza vs these which were boiled/soft. My friends really enjoyed the crab fried rice. The fried sweet plantains were just ok to me; The batch we got were dry and not that sweet.

    Most underrated: * gem in Williamsburg…read more * elite Caribbean dishes * romantic/date night spots * Caribbean brunch/lunch menu Service is impeccable. The couple who owns Kokomo deserve an award, if they don't have many already. The food is incredible. I've had both lunch and dinner. I can't say I have a favorite. But what stands out to me is: jerk chicken, mac and cheese, the lamb. Wait, my fave was the flatbread pizza with pasta and jerk chicken. My partner throughly enjoyed and raves about the oxtail. The mixed drinks were equally exceptional.

Upon arrival the restaurant is very clean, and the service was fast. There is a dine in area as well. The woman who took my order was very patient , and personable. I ordered a brown stew fish, cabbage and 3 small soups. Everything came out to about $49. The chicken soup was very good . The cabbage was also very good. The fish on the other hand was very salty and not worth the $20 charge (fish with no sides). I get it the area etc etc but for the price the food should be top notch. The other establishments are much better. Would I return.....I don't think so .

Escovitch fish meal which came with plantains, rice and peas, and spinach. Everything was still warm and tasty when I arrived home. The order was packaged nicely. Definitely, nice portions for the prices. Place is clean. Staff is friendly, informative, and service was amazing. It takes about 10 minutes for the fish since they make it to order. I will soon be back and may have them do some catering orders for me( usually order from the location on flatbush). Pop in if you ever get in the area and want some hot warming food.
