I need every cook in this restaurant to come to the front. Now... let me give y'all a high five, a…read moreslow clap, and a praise break! Y'all... it's really that good. I tried the jerk chicken, and it was moist with just the right amount of heat. The cabbage was fire, the rice was fire,, the food was fire. I even tried the lemon cake, and I have zero complaints. For a self-proclaimed foodie, that says a lot. Y'all have already seen the reviews, so there's not much more I can add. I completely agree with the hype. Go try it!

Imma get straight to the review, since this was a DoorDash order…read more I had Jamaica Pon Di Road saved in my Apple Maps for the longest time. My mother n law had went a good amount of times and let me know they was worth a try! Mt DoorDash order: I got the oxtails Jerk Wings Fries Mac n Cheese Prickly Pear juice The food is pricey, but the quality is pretty decent! The jerk wings didn't have enough of that jerk smoke for me, but the flavor was lowkey there. The jerk sauce and mango sauce with the scotch bonnet in it was amazing, Mac n cheese was flavorful fasho! Fries seemed fresh cut and good. Oxtails were definitely the highlight! Super flavorful. The Prickly Pear juice drink was good as well! Imma have to pull up next time, but overall I would patronize again!

I've heard it's the jerk dishes that bring people in so I made my way to the Palace to see what all…read morethe fuss was about. The food was flavorful. I ordered the salmon fried rice, oxtails and the jerk chicken egg rolls. My husband ordered the curry goat with rice and peas. We both shared some candied yams and a side of plantain. We ordered a variety to get a good feel. Turns out we were both satisfied with everything. The food is tasty and well seasoned. If you're looking for a place to kick it with some friends this is a cool weekend spot. There's a DJ that plays on certain nights, the drinks are decent, the lively atmosphere keeps you engaged and entertained. One thing to know, you can't call in your order nor place it online which is very inconvenient. You have to go in, so be prepared to wait a while for your order.

Came with my home girl during Houston Black Restaurant Week!…read more We came mainly to eat and that we did. Between the two of us, we tried the jerk chicken eggrolls, beef patty, oxtail plate (rice and peas + mac & cheese), jerk lamb chops + mac & cheese. Everything was flavorful & close to authentic as possible ! We sat inside but the patio seems like a great option right now before it gets too hot. Even then, the patio is well equipped with fans to help cool you down. It seems like a hot spot especially for brunch or Sunday funday so I'll be back!

Lucian's has been on my list for a while and I finally tried it out today…read more I love all the premier league football flags on the wall and also the Houston hbcu banners including my alma mater, TSU. The dining area is pretty spacious and on New Year's eve there were just a few other guests also dining there. A few others came in grabbed to go orders and left. The women's bathroom was spotless. I forgot to get our servers name but she was great and it didn't take too long for us to get our food besides the patties being made fresh to order. The beef, chicken and spinach patties were all fresh, flaky, crispy, and well seasoned with the perfect amount of spice. I had brown stew chicken with rice/peas, cabbage/carrots and plantains and my niece had jerk chicken with white rice, plantains and greens. All the food was good except I felt they skimped on my chicken portion a little and my chicken could've used a little more spice. It was cooked perfectly though, very tender and even though the portion was smaller than I'm used to it was just the right amount for me to eat during lunch, just not enough to take home for later like I'm used to doing at other Caribbean spots. We ended up getting patties, plantains and jerk chicken to go. Also, the patties were fresh and piping hot but the rest of our food was warm, almost room temperature.

Hospitable and A-MA-ZING FOOD! Oxtail, doubles, sorrel made in house... Just wow…read more Thought you didn't like goat meat? That's because you haven't had goat from D'Carribean Curry Spot. Their food is so good, it makes you question everything you thought you knew. Also lots of imported Caribbean snacks and drinks! Just beware....... If you are not already addicted to Trinidadian food or haven't tried it before, eating here will start your addiction. You have been warned.

Thank god we found this!…read more After finishing our lunch at Wrap & Roll, we saw this out of the corner of the eye and decided to stop here as the girlfriend was looking for some caribbean snacks. Being from St Croix island in the Virgin Islands, seeing the menu and taking in the smells of this place gave her memories of back home. Of course I was happy to indulge her request as it gave me an opportunity to try some handheld eats. First the beef pattie, pretty big and so savory with the meat melting in your mouth and the dough having a nice texture and crust. And then the saheena; OMG! It was my first time having this lovely pastry which is made of chickpeas, spinach, and caribbean spices. You'll be hooked on this after one bite. Texture was similar to a savory piece of cornbread. Of course I was very happy with this item. The girlfriend ordered a currant roll which had some sweetness to it with a flaky crust. I enjoyed it but not as much as I was scarfing down my beef pattie and saheena. They also serve traditional caribbean eats including jerk chicken, oxtails, bake & saltfish, and roti wraps. We noticed a lot of people place to go orders here and call ahead for pick up. There were several bags of eats waiting as we witnessed people roll in and pick them up while having small talk with the owners. All those items looked delicious and we plan to come back and try those out. We also talked to the owners for a bit, they're a husband/wife team who've owned/operated this place for a while. Super polite and gracious, they helped me navigate the menu and explained what the items would be like when I ordered. Sadly I could not get the Aloo Pie (sold out) but they assured me it's worth having and to come back and try it (which we will). Pearland is lucky to have this place here. Definitely recommend trying it out for yourself!

I went to Taste of the Caribbean and this is an easy 5 stars…read more This place is the real deal when it comes to Caribbean food. You can tell right away it's authentic--everything from the curry chicken to the oxtail and roti is packed with flavor. It's not watered down for the masses, it tastes like somebody in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing. They've got that Trinidad influence too, which I appreciate. You don't see that everywhere. Stuff like doubles and buss up shut on the menu is a big deal if you know what you're looking at. Portions are solid, food comes out fresh, and overall it just hits. It's one of those spots where you keep thinking about the food after you leave. If you want real Caribbean flavor in Houston, this is one of the places you need to try.

My friend recommended this restaurant since she's Trinny, so I decided to give it a try. While I…read morewas waiting for her to arrive, I took a look at the menu; it's definitely on the smaller side, unless they do daily specials (we came on a Sunday). Customer service was solid. The young lady taking our order was really nice and patient, which I appreciated since it was my first time trying Trinny food. I ordered the curry chicken with fried rice and potato salad, while my friend went for the stew chicken with roti. Honestly, my plate was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and not as full of flavor as I was hoping. Now, the potato salad? That was the star for me. I could've eaten a whole container of it--I really wish I had grabbed some to go. My friend, on the other hand, really enjoyed her meal and said it was good. The space itself is nice and clean, restrooms included, which I always notice. Overall, I'd give the experience an 8/10

Everyone has their own way of cooking and that's okay. That being said, the food in general lacked…read moreflavor. Stopped by on a Sunday. As I walked in, I was not greeted, and was certainly confused as I was expecting a restaurant. It was basically a bar / event space. You order at the bar. After mentioning that it was my first time and requesting a menu, they displayed the menu on the TV. The menu has no pricing, nor did the shelf with specialty items (i.e. caramel, currants roll, etc.). While I enjoyed the music, it was extremely loud for a Sunday morning breakfast. I got doubles and aloo pie to eat there. Sadly, neither one had flavor. I was so looking forward to a nice hot doubles with plenty pepper, and was truly disappointed. The aloo pie barely had potato. I ordered two Sunday lunch plates to-go. One was stew chicken & the other was BBQ chicken. Both were served with fried rice, macaroni pie, and potato salad. The stew chicken was dry. No sauce at all. The BBQ chicken, macaroni pie, rice, and potato salad were decent. I wouldn't say it's something I'd crave or go out of my way for again. Parking: Sufficient surface parking.

My first visit here, it's been on my list since the carribean spot near me in Richmond closed down…read more Food: Love, love the peppery/spicy seasoning on the curry chicken & cabbage. Gotta admit the spiciness had my tongue tingling & my nose running but it wasn't overpoweringly spicy. Btw. I didn't request spicy, that's just how it came. Cabbage and rice & peas were tasty, standard accompaniments. My hubby got the curry goat and it too was very tasty but what got my attention was how tender the goat was! To me, the goat seemed just a little less spicy so the chicken spice level may be just how they cooked the batch that day. Upon entering, I thought it was just a takeout place because I didn't see any tables or seating. While waiting on my food, I discovered a whole other large room with seating, full bar & stage! So takeout or dine-in is definitely an option. It's a little bit of a drive for me but I would definitely return.

The service was good. Very friendly and welcoming. Parking is okay. The food was fresh…read more My husband ordered the jerk chicken, and I ordered the oxtail plate combo. However, it was NOT worth $29 for the oxtail combo plate. I feel like I got more neck bones than oxtail, which is pretty disappointing, since nowhere on the menu does it say it's a mixture of oxtail and neck bones. The plate came with a ton of rice and beans, which was bland, and it also came with a little cabbage on top, which was good (the cabbage). The "neck bones (not oxtail at all)" were tender, but lacking some flavor. The plantains were very delicious. The jerk chicken was good, but nothing to rave over. Would I order it again? Possibly. Now, the star of the show. The best flavor was from the beef patties. Now, I would definitely come back for those. I'm glad we ordered two each for ourselves.
