Rum Punch
Devin T.

Small Low-key Spot That Packs A Punch!!! Recommended from a colleague. Went late night around 10pm on a Sunday. The music was 10/10! Food was very affordable I had curry goat, rice and pea with cabbage. The rice wasn't the best but for what it was worth I don't have any complaints. Would return

Old Chicken Patties
Marie D.

I am disgusted and frustrated. On November 29,2023 I Ordered 3 Patties. 2 chicken and 1 beef. I feel like it says a lot about an establishment if you can get beef patties wrong because You can't go wrong with that right? (Please refer to the pictures and videos) The Meat was old and the crust was super hard like it was left out there to dehydrate. The meat inside was congealed. But the patty itself was hot. When I called to find an understanding, a woman answered the phone and was so rude. Told me to come back to talk to the manager. I don't like making reviews so easily so I went to go talk to the manager, they said he was not there. So I called everyday for 5 days and they refused to give the phone to the manager. I'm leaving this here all to say I got food poisoning the next day. Please do better with your food and especially with your waiters. She was rude and this could have been fixed easily but chose violence instead

0/1 Ambience; 1.5/2 Food + Beverages; 0/1 Service; 1/1 Value My friend and I wanted to try Karibbean Krave after seeing their $4.99 bag on TooGoodToGo, so we reserved/paid in advance and went to pick up the bags. We were surprised to see how big the restaurant is inside with a massive bar, giant TVs for sporting games, a fog machine for some reason, and blasting music on a Friday evening. My friend and I could barely hear each other at times. It was quite a hassle to pick up just two bags: we were sent from place to place, and ended up waiting around 35 minutes for a meal that the restaurant knew we had placed in advance. Even if we had ordered then and there, 35 minutes is quite a wait. To top it off, the waitress was rather rude and brash. I was not a fan of the fog or blasting music since I started experiencing palpitations towards the end as I waited for so long in an environment not suitable for myself (normally I would not assess the ambiance for a quick takeout order, but since we were waiting so long inside, it felt appropriate to). They also packaged the food oddly, i.e. one box's lid clearly did not fit, so they just wrapped it in a ton of plastic wrap. Considering there was a curry inside, a warning might have been nice to be very careful during transport. When we finally got the food, we were impressed by the very generous portion and a part of that was of course the discounted rate from the app. Our platters came with a big serving of rice and peas, steamed cabbage, plantains, and chicken curry. I did not enjoy the plantains, which did not have so much flavor and tasted very stale. The rice and peas with the chicken curry was delightful on the other hand! The meat was so tender and savory due to the rich, warm spices in the curry, and the rice and peas were well seasoned, albeit a little clumpy. The veggies were lightly seasoned and very fresh, and still retained a nice crunch. The food was rather good, especially for the price we paid, but I don't think I would return for regular price given the negatives of the experience unfortunately.

Fried shrimp, rice & peas, sweet plantains

So, I stumbled upon this restaurant on my way home from work. I took a different route and happened to walk past and take a peak inside. It was still early when I stopped by, so I decided to come back on the weekend to sit and eat. I still ended up coming pretty early (5pm) in which the restaurant was empty, and I was the only patron inside besides the staff. A few people trickled in and sat at the bar, but the weather was also pretty bad, so I can see why there were more takeout orders than patrons. The restaurant has a big bar area with a great selection of signature cocktails and frozen drinks. The seating is also pretty nice and spacious. There are large screen TVs in the bar area for the sports lovers and Jamaican music blaring from the speakers. They also do a brunch and day party on the weekends, which I might have to stop by for. I ordered the fried shrimp which the entrees don't come with anything so you have to order the sides separately which I didn't care for. I had fried shrimp, rice & peas, and Mac & cheese. I also had a Hennessey colada, which was the highlight of my meal :) The shrimp was a little oily and not as crispy as I would have liked. The peas and rice didn't have that carribean flair, but they topped it with some stew chicken gravy, which gave it flavor because it was lacking, and I've had better Mac & cheese. Visually, the mac & cheese looked good but not something I would order again. I wasn't wowed by the food but still had a pleasurable experience. I would stop by for their brunch/ day party just to see what it's hitting for ... .

The food was delicious. We came after lunchtime and the servise was so fast that I was ordering a drink the food came. The Ambiance is buitiful awsome music and it makes me feel like in Jamaca.

For a business that opened long after the pandemic started, they're not doing too bad. Dine in only for now. As some one who lived in the Caribbean for a few years, I can say that their flavors are legit. I tired the curry chicken with with rice n peas, and plantains. They're a little pricey, but I wouldn't call it a bad deal. Just be prepared to spend $13 for a reasonable amount of food.

There were only 2 other parties seated and we were seated immediately upon arrival. It's fairly dark inside and the decor reminds me a bit of New Orleans. I enjoyed the ambiance. The drinks were great! I had the cocobella while he had margaritas. The table bread was hot and fresh, so make sure they bring it to the table for you. We had the mussels for an appetizer, lamb chops and bass. EVERYTHING was excellent! The flavor of the broth for the mussels was Devine, so much so my husband used his bread to sop up all he could. The bass had great flavor and came with sautéed spinach that was well cooked. It initially looked like a small portion but turned out to be plenty. The lamb chops were cooked to the requested temp and seasoned well. We left no crumbs. This one is definitely worth a try!

Our Server, Ramon, did an exceptional job. The staff did a great job at clearing finished items and everyone's timing was spot on. We started with the Tostones Rellenos con picadillo (Green plantains stuffed with ground beef). This was a great starter. Large enough to share and I enjoyed the drizzled sweet sauce and whole olives. Our entrees were: Palomilla Steak Platter (thin cut sirloin steak) and the Ropa Vieja (shredded flank steak). Both dishes were accompanied by white rice and we chose black beans and a side salad. This was the first time that I've seen Palomilla Steak presented totally cut into strips and it was a welcomed sight. The Ropa Vieja was perfectly seasoned and the amount of meat was thoroughly enjoyed. I capped off the meal with a Cortadito (A cortado is a Spanish coffee beverage consisting of equal parts espresso and warm, lightly steamed milk. The name comes from the Spanish verb cortar (to cut), meaning the milk "cuts" the acidity and intensity of the espresso. I appreciated the cookie on the side and each sip was amazing. Havana Central has various choices, to accommodate your time of day: lunch specials, a pre-theater menu, and a Happy Hour.

We stopped in before heading to a concert, and overall the food really hit the spot. We ordered the rasta pasta with chicken and the oxtails with rice and peas, plus patties as appetizers. Everything was flavorful, well-seasoned, and honestly reminded me of the food I had in Jamaica. Definitely satisfied my craving. The ambiance was cute and had a nice vibe, and the drinks were good as well. The only downside was the service--it was a bit slow since there seemed to be only one waiter covering the entire restaurant. Because of that, I'd probably avoid coming here if I'm on a tight schedule. That said, I'd definitely come back again when I have more time to relax and enjoy the experience.

Walked into Margon Restaurant in Midtown and instantly felt like I found one of NYC's secret cheat codes. Small space, big flavors, zero nonsense. The kind of place where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers but everyone's united by one thing... serious hunger. Ordered the Cuban sandwich -- pressed, crispy, loaded with roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. One bite in and I stopped talking... which never happens. This thing didn't just deliver... it showed up early and over-prepared. Then came La Bandera Dominicana Braised beef swimming in savory gravy, yellow rice piled like a mountain, black beans doing their thing, and sweet maduros sitting on top like the victory flag. Simple. Comforting. Dangerous... because now I want it every week. Place gets busy, gets loud, gets chaotic... but it moves like a well-oiled machine. Years of experience and zero attitude. Just good people making great food. In a neighborhood full of tourist traps, this hole-in-the-wall is throwing haymakers. Sometimes the best escape in NYC isn't a rooftop... It's a Cuban sandwich and a plastic tray. And honestly... I'd pick that every time. #nycfood #hiddennyc #midtowneats
