    Oxtail

    Visited 11/9/24 so sorry for posting late! Food, portion, price, ambience, friendly service. Definitely a must try if you're in the area. I ordered 2 oxtails which were very good. Wish we lived closer so we could try more items on the menu. The popular dish everyone asked for was the jerk chicken which he ran out of by 3 PM on a Saturday. Extremely limited seating (like 2, many 3 chairs and 1 table). No public restroom. Free parking as it is in a strip mall. Get there early to claim the good stuff before he runs out. Would definitely venture back here again if I'm ever back in the area. Storefront header is marked Caribbean Restaurant but you get closer and see Jamaican Delight which is the perfect description of the man, his establishment and his food.

    Oxtail

    I was in the mood for Jamaican food and stumbled across this spot. When I arrived I parked in the plaza parking lot. I walked in and a nice man served me. I haven't had oxtail in a while so went with the small oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. It came to a little over $13 which was so reasonable. I paid and left. When I got home I dug in. The oxtail was tender and was ok in flavor, just needed a tad more seasoning. The rice and peas and cabbage was really good. I would definitely go back and try more.

    The rice (amazing )!!!! The chicken (soooo yummy!!!)

    Delicious food !! Great service- very kind !! Nice place !!! Will definitely be stopping by again !!!!

    Stew Chicken lunch special $5.00!! Yum!
    Stefan H.

    This place is still outstanding! Recently tried another Caribbean food place in a different area, and while okay, their stew chicken lunch doesn't hold a candle to what you get here! If you like Jamaican food and haven't eaten here yet, what are you waiting for?

    Great spot recommended by a friend who lives nearby. Got lunch specials of jerk chicken ($6) and curry goat ($7) and they pack quite a bit into a small container. Both were very delicious but I wish the chicken was spicier. Also got a couple of beef patties and coco bread. All very good and the gentleman there was really nice. Will be back to try some more.

    Curry Goat

    I found this place when I stopped by Aldi in same mall. Wow food is authentic and super tasty and owner was super nice and sweet. He always smile and nice. MUST go place for Jamaican food.

    The food is amazing, and I have yet to be disappointed. The gentleman that serve the food is pleasant and friendly.

    The food is amazing and the service is great as well. I have yet to be disappointed with the food, service or quality....

    My first time back here in close to a decade! Can I say that the friendly smile of the guy behind the counter is just like I remembered it. The food as well, is just like I remembered. My parents and I got a large oxtail, a large curry goat, and two spicy beef patties. Every ounce of that food was so succulent. The oxtail was like fall off the bone tender, the curry goat was amazing. And those patties -- I wish I had gotten like two more!

    A Taste of Island Spice 1287 Teaneck Rd…read more Teaneck, NJ 07666 Jerk Chicken Lunch Special Spinach Patty This locally owned Caribbean restaurant is located along the Teaneck Road strip. After passing it numerous times, I decided to explore one of their lunch options. Spinach Patty: Initially, I was reluctant to try a vegetarian patty. As soon as I took my first bite, I immediately took a liking to this appetizer. The spinach filling was warm and tasty. And the outer crust had a slight crunch. Jerk Chicken Lunch: The chicken was tender and juicy with a mild kick. The outer skin was seasoned perfectly. Also included were two miniature cups of jerk sauce (not pictured). The reddish colored dip was great for dipping the chicken, rice & peas and even the spinach patty. I was grateful the sauce was not poured over the meal; then it would have dried up. The indoor dining area is limited to high top counters and a few outdoor dining tables. Island Spice does not have their own parking lot, but plenty of parking is available on local side streets. There is also a free municipal parking lot a few blocks away. This location may be a hole in the wall, but the Caribbean food is outstanding and you will definitely get an authentic "taste" of Jamaica. #caribbeanfood #atasteofislandspice #jerkchicken #spinachpatty #jamaicanpatty #teanecknj

This locally owned Caribbean spot hosts a cost effective $7 lunch special on weekdays from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. Customers have the option to choose a selected chicken lunch with rice and peas. Beef Patty: This golden brown crust on this appetizer was flaky. The seasoned beef had a mild kick. It was a perfect appetizer prior to the main course. Lunch Specials: Jerk Chicken/Curry Chicken/Brown Stew Chicken All three styles of chicken were seasoned perfectly. The chicken was tender and juicy. This is a perfect grab-and-go meal to hold you over until dinner time. I highly recommend requesting an extra cup of oxtail sauce for the rice & peas. Seating is limited to a few counter top chairs , so I highly recommend placing your order to-go. A $20 BBQ jerk ribs special is also available on Saturdays. If I'm ever in the area on a weekend, I will definitely explore this deal next time! #reggaekitchen #teanecknj #lunchspecial #jerkchickenlunchspecial #bbqjerkribsspecial

    I was so excited to try this spot because I'd been craving oxtails all week, but unfortunately it…read morewas a letdown. The oxtails tasted burnt--like they had been slow-cooking all day and what we got were the overcooked, charred pieces that should've been tossed, not served. Really disappointing for a dish that should be rich and flavorful. The staff didn't help the experience either. I get the saying, "you know it's a real Caribbean spot when the staff is a little spicy," but this wasn't that--it wasn't playful or sassy, it just came off as rude and mean. It made the whole visit feel unwelcoming. Honestly, I wanted to love this place, but between the burnt food and the bad service, it just didn't hit.

For the main courses, I ordered the oxtail with rice, which was a very generous portion and full of flavor. My partner had the salmon with Mandarin glaze and mashed potatoes, and it was outstanding--perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. For dessert, we enjoyed the fried ice cream with purple sweet potato, which was unique and delicious. Two glasses of shandy wine complemented the meal beautifully. The atmosphere was fantastic, with great music and a lively, festive vibe. The hostess was wonderful--she took the time to chat with us, asked if it was our first visit, and checked whether we were familiar with the cuisine, which made us feel very welcome. Our server was exceptionally kind, attentive, and knowledgeable. He carefully explained the menu and even double-checked details for us to make sure everything was exactly right. Highly recommended for both the food and the outstanding service. We thoroughly enjoyed every part of our experience and look forward to returning soon!

    Father's Day Brunch!…read more Four of us attended for the Father's Day brunch. After being seated I asked the waiter about the free Old Fashioned or Sangria dads were suppose to receive as per their IG post. The waiter tells me that was only for Saturday June 20th but he'll check with management. He comes back and states it was only for the 20th. I pull up the post which states 20th and 21st. He goes back to his manager and they honor it. Their IG post also mentions a surf & turf special for $59 (which is one of the main reasons I chose this restaurant). When I inquired with the waiter he stated it's only available for dinner (this is not mentioned anywhere on the post). Between the 4 of us we had several lobster tails with waffles, 1 person ordered hot honey chicken with waffles, 4 additional lobster tails and several sides of eggs with bacon. 3 waffle orders came out together and everything else came out staggered 20 - 30mins later. We repeatedly had to ask for the rest of the order. A friend had a Cadillac Margarita which was good. I attempted to order one and was told they ran out of Cointreau and Grand Marnier. How do you run out of the main ingredient for a standard margarita at 2pm on a Sunday?! Passion fruit wings along with a few other menu items were not available. All in all I wouldn't return to Czen. Although my waiter was very pleasant doing the best he could and the ambiance was nice, the restaurant was poorly prepared and brunch was poorly executed.

Sofrito is a versatile, aromatic purée of tomatoes, peppers, cilantro, onions, and garlic, which is the foundation of just about every Puerto Rican, Cuban, and Dominican soup, stew, or sauce. Located on busy Teaneck Road in Teaneck, this husband/wife duo, with the husband being Cuban and the wife Puerto Rican, operates the hidden gem that translates from the Spanish meaning "my roots." The reservation was easily made by Google Assistant for Saturday dinner. Upon arrival at Mis Raices, a bigger location after 3 years for some of us, my partner, our friends, and I got a table by the window immediately inside a cozy island vibe filled with the wonderful smell of the home-style food, the beautiful souvenirs of Puerto Rico and Cuba, and the vibrant salsa music. The menu has been expanded since our last visit, so come hungry! For appetizers, we decided on the Croqueta De Jamón, Croqueta De Pollo, and Guava Empanada. As a main meal, we opted for Arroz Con Pollo (Chicken with Rice), Pechuga De Pollo (Chicken Breast) A La Plancha with Salad, Ropa Vieja (Shredded Beef) with Arroz Amarillo y Frijoles Negroes, and Oxtail/Rabo Encendido with Arroz con Gandules. Complimentary toasted garlic bread started our meal. The meal was beautifully presented. The flavors were tastefully delicious and pretty consistent, being rich and authentic. The portion was just right with the price very reasonable, and it's a BYOB. The owners, Ana and Eddie, and their staff make us feel welcome and are accommodating.
