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.

The food is pretty tasty. Also the cashier was very nice and professional. The is also very nice. The reggae rockers vibes...

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.

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

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.

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

I was in the area and felt like Jamaican food so I decided to give Kru a try. I ordered for pickup but when I walked in I was pleasantly surprised by the vibes. Bob Marley playing at an enjoyable volume and a good amount of seating inside. Customer service was great and my order was hot and ready in time. Smelled soo good so I couldn't wait to dig in. My curry chicken was flavorful with just the right amount of spice with white rice and plantains. And the Rasta Pasta with oxtails were scrumptious! The oxtail was meaty and the portion was enough for 2 easily. I will definitely be back soon! read more

Place is insane! Hands-down the best jerk chicken I have ever had and I just got back from Jamaica recently. I'm here twice a week! Stew chicken is incredible too. Recently brought my buddy in the Bronx some oxtail and he said it's the best he's ever had besides his mamas haha....The owner and workers couldn't be any nicer also. Danbury got a Gem! Iv also been going to the their smoothie spot in southbury for couple years also. Top notch ingredients all around! read more

So I decided to try this spot because I'm working in the area today... I'm disappointed because they sold me leftovers... I should've know though I went in at 10am. The service was great but the guy wasn't honest about the food being from the day before like I asked. The ambience is clean and inviting. I'm not sure if I'd visit again though, maybe later in the day where I know I might have a chance of freshly prepared foods. read more

What a wonderful treat! In a city where I'm often confounded as to where I might find a good meal, this Jamaican cuisine hit the spot. The curry goat was tender: had a wonderful spice. The Pumpkin rice...delectable. The chicken soup with dumpling outstanding -- the meat, moist and tender -- the dumplings, chewy and flavorful. With a first experience like this, I'll be back to try their escovitch fish or braised oxtail. Check them out. You'll be happy. Approved! :) read more

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.

They all sang me Happy Birthday and then gifted me some delicious rum cake. If you are in the area I would suggest you seek them out.

I'm surprised at myself for this review, since I'm usually a steam tray skeptic. However, their…read morecurry chicken was so good that now I have to reconsider that principle. If anything, the steam tray might have made it more tender and flavorful, and it wasn't at all worse for wear!

Every time I go here, I'm never disappointed. The customer service is amazing. This restaurant is…read moreran by a husband and wife, they are so friendly and welcoming. The food is fresh, hot and well seasoned. There is seating indoors, as well as cold drinks available.

We loved it so much that we came back for lunch later in the trip. The service was fantastic (both at the event and lunch). It is fun and vibrant inside with perfect touches of Mexican culture throughout. Their Mexican Corn (elote) was by far my favorite item on the menu. My husband loved the Coxinhas. Tacos were 10/10. They also have a nice outdoor patio!
