Love Caribbean? Come check out this place! Very nice owner and welcoming. They partner with a pizza business so don't be confused lol. I love oxtail Caribbean-style, and this dish did NOT disappoint. The oxtail was delicious and full of flavor, and the sauce paired perfectly with the rice and peas and a side of cabbage. They were also kind enough to bring out extra plantains... YUM! My husband ordered the fresh roti with curry chicken, and it was huge--definitely big enough to share. He also loved the oxtail egg roll; it looked super crunchy and absolutely delicious. We'll definitely be back! Few tips: - Small parking lot but there's residential streets to park at - They accept Apple Pay - They serve cocoa bread with their patties!!! YES PLEASE! We will definitely be back! Thanks for the delicious lunch! read more

While visiting friends I drive past this spot and knew I was having dinner here. You enter to wonderful Caribbean music playing and are greeted my the kindest member of the team. There are multiple ways to view the menu which is helpful. You can eat in or carry out. They had a few vegan options which I appreciated. I grabbed the Naija Bowl and a lentil patty. The flavors sent me... I was ready to go back and stock up on them patties the next day but they are closed on Mondays. Let me tell you how next time I'm in Jersey I'm gonna have to get a catering size order of them patties with a side of Jamaican Ginger Beer and be left alone. Check this spot out!!! It's a must. read more

Rice and beans were my fav. We tried the vegan oxtails and shrimp roti (vegan) and it was delicious. I definitely want to go back and have the meat entrees. Go check this place out!! read more

Celebrating my birthday at Pigeon Peas was, without a doubt, the most beautiful and memorable dining experience I've ever had. We were a large group--8 adults, 4 children, and an infant--and from the moment we walked through the doors you are not greeted as a customer but as an essential part of the heart and soul of the establishment. The warmth, the energy, the cultural richness--it felt like home. You can feel the love the moment you step inside. A heartfelt thank you to the incredible owner, her daughter, and the extended family in the kitchen who prepared our food with so much care. Every grain of jollof rice, every perfectly fried piece of plantain, every dish--it was all made with love. The fusion of Nigerian and St. Lucian flavors is nothing short of magic. I ordered the lentil and pumpkin patties along with the Naija bowl, and my family raved about the oxtail, jollof rice, curry shrimp, and pineapple ginger drink. And then came the smoothie... turmeric, mango, banana, and black pepper--made as a birthday complement. I am not a fan of smoothies, but this one? Hands down the best I've ever had. They even played a birthday song for me, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I'm still glowing with love and gratitude a day later. Pigeon Peas has made my birthday so special, and I'll never forget it. Even though it's a long drive for me, I will absolutely be back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my celebration so full of joy, love, and unforgettable flavors. With deepest gratitude. read more

I was craving good jamaican food and decided to try it after seeing it had great ratings. I was so dissapointed. The food was flavorless and not worth the price. I got the oxtails platter and some wings. read more

Full disclosure, it's been a couple weeks so I'm not sure what we got but it was delicious and I am dying to go back. The parking lot was chaos. If you can't find parking, be patient, it'll be worth it!. It was a little pricey but also worth it. I'm also willing to go back despite all the unnecessary plastic. read more

I have been to this establishment 3 times and I keep forgetting to write a review. I am not from the area but I have to say this community is very lucky to have this gem!! The food is delicious and the staff is great. Both Judy and I believe the young lady was Isabel( sorry if I forgot) were nothing but professional and helpful with making selections. Reasonable prices and great portions. My fave are the Pattie's very filling! To the owners I wish you nothing but the best and I hope you are around forever!! read more

I was in the area on a Sunday and wanted some clean tasty food to try. I found this place (where else) on Yelp. I eat chicken and fish but have been venturing into more vegan. I wondered if this place could measure up to the hype (the grand reviews) about Caribbean flavor and being vegan. I took a chance! I ordered the vegan chicken patty and it was tasty. Just enough flavor. Temp-wise I just needed it hotter. I also ordered the vegan jerk kabobs. They are made with mushrooms. It had just the right amount of spice & flavor. Quite filling as there was a lot. It came with fries as a side. The young girl at the cash register was patient, kind and attentive. Nice little pop into spot in Bloomfield if you're looking for some hardy yet clean Caribbean food. read more

Wait time: 7/10 (take out at 10pm) Service: 8/10 Food: 4/10 Ambience: small, family, Caribbean Price point: 6/10 Would return: not sure/ probably not I was really hoping to like their food based on a review I saw however...... I got the oxtail and jerk chicken and Popeye juice. The oxtail was o and k. Nothing to call home about and the quantity for the amount paid was an insult. The rice and peas... well it's honestly the worst we've ever had, which pains me to say. The jerk chicken wings (which was posted as a special, yet I paid the same price as the regular jerk chicken meal ‍) was more of bbq chicken than jerk chicken. There was no jerk at all. But for bbq taste was o and k. The cabbage... it was not tasty at all. Idk what seasoning they used, but nah, definitely wasn't it. The plantains were not that great either. The best thing was the Popeye purple juice. Perhaps their vegetarian options are better. read more

i'm not vegan, but i have no problem transitioning diets if this what i can eat! this afro caribbean vegan fusion spot is the best. perfect for those who actually consume vegan/vegetarian diet & amazing to those who don't. i spent the first ten minutes in disbelief. i couldn't believe i wasn't eating jerk chicken, or a beef patty, or even the oxtails, and then the bbq skewers... what do you mean it's all oyster mushrooms??! a must try! even the macaroni pie was good, and we all know that's something you don't order from a Caribbean restaurant. it was creamy and "cheesy"! i still don't know how they achieved the cheese melt but they did. check them out! you won't be disappointed. i only had one comment, but its for the beyond burger- who eats those anyways? read more

These 2 Brothers have created some exceptional flavors with their pizzas. The jerk chicken pizza was AMAZING!!! And the buffalo chicken pizza was truly the best I've ever had. The Michael Jordan pizza lived up to the name and don't get me started on those lemon-pepper wings...10 out of 10 out of 10. The service was on par with the food and I will most definitely be back. I've already told at least a dozen people about the brand new PIZZA BROTHERS. I love what you guys are doing. read more

After looking through UberEats for a Vegan meal, I notice Vegan Ox Tail as an option for Pigeon Peas. I call in immediately to receive confirmation the menu option is correct and real. The meal travels VERY well. I eat the meal between two days. The Ox Tail really tastes like Ox Tail (even feeling so texturally). My mom even confirms the Ox Tail is good. She's questioning Vegan food ingredients more so now because of how authentic Vegan options taste as an alternative (though unique) representation-replacement of products which come from animals. Every portion of the meal tastes wonderful. Obviously, I buy the meal primarily for the Ox Tail though all parts of the meal taste dinstinctly alone as well as in combination (with every bite) very flavorful. The side salad tastes wonderful especially with the Mango Habanero. read more

Amazing service love the conversation and ambiance, the food was absolutely amazing and everything was amazing

The service was good. But I'm very critical of the food. The ambiance of the location was fine. However the food was not to my liking. I ordered the vegan oxtail. When you eat oxtail you expect a soft texture and GRAVY!!!! I did not get that and I was very disappointed. I also ordered a vegan "beef" Pattie. The texture was also lacking and the flavor for both items were missing. I know I'm vegan but it doesn't mean I don't want a good product. On top of that I spent $30 for items that I felt was sub par. Again im very disappointed read more

Very good Caribbean food. Everything I tried was delicious, made fresh & from scratch. The owners are welcoming & super hospitable, very passionate about their business. Even the music selection is curated-- nothing but good vibes at Pigeon Peas. I tried almost all the patties, and I highly recommend the regular beef & salmon patties. The crust is perfection. Loved the jerk chicken, it has a bit of sweetness to it. And the oxtail was pretty solid! Stopped by with a few friends on a Sunday and I can't wait to come back & try other menu items! read more

Delicious food! They have a lot of great options for both vegetarians and meat eaters. I had one of the lentil patties. The crust was absolutely amazing. Very good lentils inside. Not dry at all like they sometimes are. I want to go back to try some more of the vegetarian options. Good local business opened by nice people who care about the community. A welcomed addition to the area. read more

I was craving chicken roti and a beef Patty decided to give this place a try...I was so so disappointed unfortunately. The roti was incredibly dry, with huge pieces of square cut chicken. The chicken was dry and tough, the roti was thick and there was no moisture and little flavor. I gave most of it to my son and tried to eat the piece in my photo because I spent over $30 on this order. But it wasn't tasty. Wouldn't re-order. read more

I stop by at least once a week. The food is great and has lots of flavor. So far I've had the oxtail, the salmon, the calaloo patties, salmon patties, and traditional patties. I've also had some fresh juice. I really like the purple Popeye. You can order ahead, or sit down to eat. The music makes you feel like you are on an island. Worth the visit! read more

MY GOODNESS! If you don't believe in a higher power you definitely will after you eat this food. There should be a picture of their food by the definition of delicious. The food was PACKED and absolutely worth the money. Fun tip is that I would suggest ordering more sauce for the vegan oxtails, but it really didn't need it. I ordered via food service app so I can't say much about the physical establishment. read more

Wanted to love it but oxtail lacked flavor and didn't come with cabbage after I asked if it did. Hope they revisit the drawing board.

The way I felt nourished and loved after this meal should be studied. First off this restaurant was so clean, they had light reggae music playing so the vibe was nice from the moment my feet entered the restaurant. Tried out the jerk plantain pattie, ***chefs kisses! Then had then Jallof Rice w/ Oxtails and spinach. They added this lil citrus salad , just as delicious as the meal; generous portion!
