    Fried chicken rice and peas and steamed vegetables
    Mimi H.

    Tried this wonderful oxtail with Rice and peas with steamed vegetables. First time visiting this establishment. The oxtails fell off the bone. The rice and peas were good. The steamed vegetables were good too. I also was afforded the opportunity to try the festival for the first time, which was fried dough that had a nice semi sweet ending to it. The service was great also. Nice mix of island music playing . Very clean restaurant and the restroom was clean also. also ordered the fried chicken. Which was also tasty. . Very nice staff also, Who also gave great recommendations to try everything. I love that. Happy eating

    Best Jamaican food in the area! Jerk chicken was perfect! Rasta Pasta was flavorful. Festival was fresh & soft, not oily and hard. Pumpkin rice was unique & had actual pieces of pumpkin in it (I wish I had some more pumpkin pieces :)) Mac & cheese was really nice as well. This location also has cold pressed juice options. Wish they had a few more vegetarian options (for my husband). But over all the place was great & had awesome customer service. Very nice & responsible staff. There is plenty of indoor seating & had a modern decor.

    I am so happy we finally have a good Jamaican spot in this area!! I got a stew chicken and it was so delicious. It came with rice n peas and vegetables. I also ordered a beef patty and spinach patty. Both so delicious! I surprisingly liked the spinach patty a little more. I definitely will be going back to try the whole menu.

    The food was really good, I loved the jerk chicken and the sauce. The vegetables could've been cooked just a little more. The service was fast and pleasant, I absolutely enjoyed the interaction with the guy at the register. I ordered to go, the presentation of my food was great! It's a restaurant with plenty of seating both booths and bar height chairs/table you can sit at. I would recommend this restaurant if you're looking for some authentic Caribbean dishes.

    This place is beautifully decorated and love the Bob Marley music. The Serve and people are very friendly and helpful. I had a chicken patty for lunch and the flavors brought me back to Jamaica. I had a hard time picking what to buy because I wanted to try everything. I bought the curry goat for my husband and he said his mouth was enjoying the flavors. This is the best curry goat he had. I tried a few pieces and he is right. He enjoyed the rice and peas. I also bought the Mac and cheese which was so flavorful. I had the jerk chicken with pumpkin rice which were amazing. The flavors in my food was amazing. Keep up the good work there. I will be back and will try the fish next time.

    Oxtail and sorrel

    Stumbled on Kru accidentally on a trip, and what a pleasant surprise. Some of the best oxtail I've had outside of Jamaica. Plantain was perfect.

    I ordered online! I'm from out of town Va here for work. That being said I travel a lot and come to Yelp for my dinner choices. This place was amazing from the start clean and service was on point while I waited he gave a sample of the jerk pork.. we don't have jerk pork back home. The jerk was on point smoky tender and jerk sauce really good. I couldn't wait to get back to hotel to try my chicken stew !! Tender lots flavor ..rice was great and the cabbage was perfect.. can't say enough except try it!! Give this place support

    Curried Goat
    Bee Bee W.

    Awesome service, awesome taste! We ordered the small ox tail and small curried goat. There was nothing small about these portion sizes. Both dishes had plenty of meat. Everything was fresh and the authentic flavors were on point. I'd eat here again and recommend this restaurant to others. Service was fast, the restaurant was clean and modern.

    Regular Jerk Chicken

    Great food and great service. Very authentic and everyone was very friendly. Huge portions for a very fair price.

    Scotch Bonnet - Jerk chicken bowl w three sides: Mac and cheese, plantains, callalloo (underneath)

    Improbably good mall food!…read more My family has been more obsessed than usual with Jamaican / Caribbean food since our fabulous meal at Bar Manje, trying our hand at various jerk chicken and sorrel drink recipes at home, foraging for wild amaranth to make a more authentic callalloo. Of course we honed right in on Scotch Bonnet when we found ourselves at Danbury Fair Mall, hungry. Scotch Bonnet is the opposite of what you think of when you think "mall food." Everything appears to be scratch made. There are bubbling pots on the stove right behind the counter wafting enticing smells. And we saw fresh, hot food being brought out every few minutes as we waited. The jerk chicken we tried was moist and well seasoned (I think boneless thigh meat), mild enough that the 11-year-old didn't have trouble with spice levels. The jerk chicken by itself was fair, but after a dunk in scotch bonnet pineapple sauce -- which packed some legit heat -- it was fire! Callalloo was lightly seasoned and retained some texture. Green plantains had an unusual-to-us texture as though they'd been boiled and baked, not fried -- more like potatoes than tostones. I'm a sucker for well made tostones, but these were healthier and held up better on a steam table. The progeny enjoyed the mac 'n' cheese. The counter doesn't showcase everything that's on their extensive menu (e.g. jerk fish, seafood boils). I assume these are made to order and will have to make time and stomach capacity for these on our next visit. Really nice folks run the show. We very much look forward to next time!

    I owe a sincere apology to the team at Scotch Bonnet in the Danbury Fair Mall food court…read more Why? Because I walked up expecting... well... food court food. What I got instead was a legit, fresh, sit-down-restaurant quality meal being handcrafted right in front of me by people who clearly take real pride in what they're doing. I ordered the jerk chicken with their "smoked" jerk sauce over a field greens salad and it was honestly one of the best salads I've had anywhere in the area. Perfectly seasoned chicken, bright fresh greens, and a sauce that should probably come with a warning label because I'm still thinking about it a day later. The best part? The whole thing was under $14 with a drink. In 2026 that feels like some sort of culinary glitch in the matrix. While I was waiting, I watched the team chopping, seasoning, and assembling everything fresh with the kind of care you normally see in a full-service kitchen. It completely changed my expectations of what a "mall food court" can be. Meanwhile, everyone else can keep lining up for the same old tasteless, sodium-laden "Asian" food... or the wildly overrated chicken chain from Atlanta where people stand in line like sheep for dry, forgettable chicken. Their loss. And I barely scratched the surface of the menu -- wings, sandwiches, bowls, patties, and a bunch of other things I'm already planning to come back and try. The only tiny bummer? The plastic cutlery they offer is a little too flimsy for a salad this hearty and loaded. But honestly, if that's the biggest complaint I have, I'm thrilled. So yes... I came for a quick mall bite. Instead I found a place I'll intentionally come back for. And again, apologies to the chefs for the skepticism. You converted me.

    We ate the food so fast that I didn't get a chance to take pictures. The five stars speak for…read moreitself. We visited on a Friday at 6:30 and the restaurant had a line plus we ordered and waited 30 minutes or so for the food. I was all worth it. Get the oxtail and the jerk chicken. Oxtail had great texture and jerk chicken was grilled and actually tasted grilled charcoal. Everything was well seasoned not overly salty. Mac and cheese was some of the best we have tried. Might be a wait during dinner hours but be all worth the wait. The man was really nice and service with a smile. If you are in the neighborhood, get some great Jamaican food!

    We've been hearing about Top Taste for years and finally stopped by on our way up to Woodstock…read more The space it's is small and very casual with about four tables. We came on a weekday and had no trouble sitting. You order a main protein that comes with rice, cabbage, and plantains. You can order sides of things like fried chicken or mac & cheese. We went with one small jerk chicken, and one medium oxtail. The portions are absolutely huge. It was the most generous small I've ever gotten in a restaurant... such an incredible value for just $10. The jerk chicken is absolutely delicious. I loved the rice and cabbage. It was a really satisfying meal. I also love the flavor of the oxtail, but picking through tiny bones isn't really my thing so jerk chicken is the way to go. Before you leave, you have to order a slice of the rum cake to go. It is the first time I've had fresh rum cake (not the typical Tortuga) and it was so delicious and moist, it was almost like a custard. We loved it so much, we picked up food again on our way home. You can tell this restaurant is loved by the community - definitely a special place to stop while in the area.
