A Jamaican establishment that's managed to turn island cuisine into an episode of "Survivor:…read moreRestaurant Edition." As someone who drew their first breath to the rhythm of reggae and the scent of scotch bonnet peppers, I felt compelled to give this spot a second chance after years of passing by - a decision I now rank somewhere between getting bangs and investing in cryptocurrency. The food exists in that peculiar culinary limbo between "not quite terrible" and "definitely not good" - imagine if your grandmother's leftovers had their own leftovers, then decided to start a food truck. It's the kind of fare one might consume at 3 AM after a night out, when even a microwaved sock might seem appetizing with enough jerk sauce While I appreciate their valiant attempt at hygiene with signs warning patrons not to conduct impromptu taste tests or deliver soliloquies over the steam trays, the real theater begins at checkout. Picture this: you've filled your container, feeling rather pleased with your selections, only to discover their unique "pricing algorithm." The cashier performs what can only be described as a CSI-level investigation of your container's contents, weighing and scrutinizing it like a customs agent who's had too much coffee. The piece de resistance? You might walk in expecting to pay for a simple weighted portion but end up financing what feels like a down payment on a small island nation - all because you dared to take half a fish instead of committing to the whole aquatic enterprise. At $40 for less than a pound of food, you're not just paying for dinner; you're investing in what might be Jamaica's most ambitious economic recovery program. Suffice it to say, my wallet and I have decided to consciously uncouple from Code 1414. As we say in Jamaica, "mi done wit dat" - or in food critic speak, "I shall take my culinary adventures elsewhere, where my bank account isn't treated like a lottery winning."

CARRY OUT ONLY GUYANESE RESTAURANT IN PLG…read more They have all the traditional Guyanese menu items without the unnecessary wait of the other better known Guyanese restaurants plus you can enjoy your meal in the comforts of your home where finger licking isn't frowned upon. I am most familiar with their pastries which are staples in Guyanese cuisine. If you are interested in trying their pastries, I would recommend their Pine Tarts, Cheese Rolls and Cheese Straw (aka cheese churro-like thing as someone else called it in another review) because they are solid and are well priced. It's okay to eat more than one of each, it's a judgement-free zone wherever pastries are present. I have tried their cooked food but wasn't as wowed by it because it didn't have the poignant and aromatic flavors that I have grown up around and associate with authentic Guyanese cuisine. They do have a lot of the signature dishes on rotation such as Cook-Up Rice made with black eye peas and Vegetable Chow Mein. You can also grab a Dhal Puri filled seasoned and ground split peas or skip the peas altogether by grabbing a flaky Roti.

It's not like one was actually reserved, but hey, it worked out, so I'm happy about that. Onto the food: I am half Haitian, and I may not speak Haitian Kreyol, but I know my Haitian food. I can prove my Haitian ethnicity by cooking traditional dishes. The legume was on point! That dish was my favorite. My friend truly enjoyed her salmon. Honestly, I wish I had gotten the salmon to take home instead of the Haitian fried chicken. Now, that wasn't that great to me, and I didn't enjoy it :( I'm still giving them all the stars and all the props because I really appreciated the service. This was my first time trying a Haitian patty with spinach, and it was absolutely fantastic. I think it's even better than the chickpea one. I would definitely highly recommend this place and also go back. But the Haitian fried chicken need to be better. Still, I'll definitely come again and try the salmon next time!!!

After hanging out with a friend, I was hungry and trying to figure out where I wanted to go. As I walked up Utica avenue, I saw Lakou Cafe. I decided to try them. When I entered, I saw someone at the bar and two people dining at a table. I planned on taking my food to go. I ordered the fried chicken sandwich and I subbed the fries with sweet plantains and the kale salad. The server was friendly and personable. When I got home, I couldn't wait to dive in. It smelled so good but I was I little worried because the chicken was very dark--I was hoping it wasn't overcooked. Much to my delight, it was just the seasoning. The chicken was tender and delicious. On of these days I'll dine in. I highly recommend Lakou Cafe, I know that I'll be back.

It's just a table under a tent (nothing fancy) but the owner/operator, Tracy, is an absolute gem. She's got five kids, she lives nearby, and she's super friendly and not at all shy about telling you that her oxtail is the best in the city. After eating it, I don't think she's wrong. A $15 plate of oxtail, veggies (perfectly steamed and seasoned), rice and peas with some oxtail gravy poured over the top is a hearty and delicious lunch. It may have you needing a nap afterward, but I'm never sad about eating food this good. Just a large, super flavorful, well-priced plate of home-cooked comfort. I've got to try the Rasta Pasta, but I also don't want to mess with success.

I ordered the $12 medium griot fritalle (fried pork), which came with 3 Akra, 4 pieces of fried plantain, and half of a sausage; pikliz. The fried pork pieces were mostly fat and looked like the side dish for $5; literally, i counted 7 pieces. Nothing too special in taste, really bland, not even a hint of salt n pepper; even the pikliz didn't help. The Akra was good, and the sausage was good. Also, I got a side of black rice, and that also was just Ok. The food was hot, at least. I appreciate the delivery from bedstuy, but I don't think I would order from there again. They didn't even send sauce with the rice. Smh. I was planning on going in person, but now I don't know.

I settled on Haitian food, and after some Googles I settled on Anmwey Eatery. The reviews were good and it was only a 5 minute drive from my mom's house. I ordered at the counter when I arrived. I knew I wanted griot (fried pork) with black rice, so that's what I ordered. They were busy, so my food took about 30 minutes to be ready. I was fine with the wait. The bar seats were comfy and I was on my phone. There was also loud reggae music playing from the other room, so I was jammin. I got home and dug into my food and it was almost perfect. The griot was delicious. Just crunchy enough on the outside and tender on the inside. The black rice was a little disappointing, but nothing major. I love black rice, but it lacked flavor. Luckily they give you a side of gravy, which was tasty. I should've taken the girl at the counter up on her offer to get an extra side of gravy. I still devoured everything though. It also came with fried plantain. I'm not a huge fan of unsweet plantain, but it was good when I added the picklez to it. Picklez is spicy, so tread lightly if you don't like heat. 5 stars for Anmwey. I will certainly return.
