    the front of the restaurant

    Good place to take out meal for lunch/dinner. It comes with lots of rice, some veggies (mostly lettuce) and good amount of meat. The oxtail tastes really good, its soft and tender. The jerk chicken is not as good, it's little over cooked, the sauce makes it spicier. Tried the patties too, they are okay. They also sell other stuff like bread, Jamaican sodas, cakes and few more.

    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.

    Stew Chicken lunch special $5.00!! Yum!

    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.

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

    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

(Sorry Golden Krust but, this is 10000000x better) This weekend I couldn't help it because I was craving oxtail. This place is 100% legit so authentic and jammed packed with delicious flavors. They have daily specials and they sell out quick. I came too late and missed their breakfast item ackee & salt fish. Next time I'll try to wake up early !! Their oxtail was so tender, juicy, saucy, paired with rice and peas and cabbage. They made sure that we had gravy on our rice too!! Their jerk chicken was grilled outdoor and it was not even dry. I cannot believe how good it was, I was so happy. Their spicy sweet chili sauce was perfection while dipping the jerk chicken. Also, I loved their Mac and cheese. It was hot, cheesy, not dry, and flavorful. A big treat is all their yummy drinks in their fridge. I suggest the Ting soda with grapefruit!!! Everyone is friendly (workers + customers) The whole restaurant is so cool because locals come and I feel that everyone just vibe with each other. I can't wait to come back and try their beef ribs!!!!

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

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.

There was ample Street parking. The curbside appeal is magnificent. The service and the servers were fantastic. They were welcoming, and they were attentive. It was a Friday night, so there was live music and that was so much fun. We made a reservation so when we arrived, they took us straight to our seat in a perfect location upfront, not too close to the music, but not too far away and across from the bar the meal was fantastic. It's very rich but fantastic. I will definitely be back because I had a fantastic time and the food was to die for.

    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.
