The stuffing is amazing I would prefer it without the carrots though and the stewed chicken is amazing read more

Yes, the food is beyond delicious. They catered an event that I attended and we all loved and praised the food. I've visited the restaurant a few times to get take out food and the staff are always courteous and friendly. read more

A large group of 30 descended for a Book Club Meeting. I ordered stewed chicken which flavored so well and a large portion. Everyone ordered an entree from fish, oxtails, curry. We had family style sides which included Mac and cheese, rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. Not one complaint. Food was sooooo goood! Staff was very accommodating and professional. Clean bathroom. A hidden find for sure. Bravo!!! I'll be back for sure the next time I'm in Brooklyn! Thank you!!!!! read more

I was craving some Caribbean food and there aren't many close to my spot so I checked Uber eats and found this spot that would deliver. I called twice to double check some information that was confusing on the app and the lady who answered the phone wasn't as helpful as I would have hoped. There were some mixups on the app, which may not be the fault of the restaurant, but calling us the best option in order to rectify, even though it took me 3 minutes to explain to the woman on the phone. I ordered oxtail with rice and peas, and cabbage. When my meal came, it had beans and rice, which is not the same as peas and rice. The cabbage and veggies tasted like frozen or canned veggies and were not fresh. However, the oxtail was tender and really good, which somewhat made up for the other downfalls. My boyfriend ordered a shrimp roti and he said the actual roti didn't taste fresh but the shrimp inside was tasty. Not sure I would order from here again unless I was desperate. read more

Rowe's Restaurant - Med. Oxtail - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

See all

Unpretentious neighborhood family-style Caribbean restaurant. Unlike some others in East Flatbush, they have table service, but most of their business seems to be take-out for walk-in customers. I had baked salmon with a sweet but peppery glaze which was delicious. Rice and beans were also quite good. The side order of cabbage tasted a bit bland, but improved with salt. They also have the usual favorites -- curried goat, oxtail, and chicken -- and a small but tasty-looking dessert selection. read more

I ordered from Uber Eats and received my food in half an hour. If you haven't eaten from here yet you're missing out. Everything was on point. I ordered a large jerk chicken with rice and peas and macaroni and cheese. The serving size was so big my grown sister and I couldn't finish it. The chicken was seasoned so well and has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. (I asked for extra jerk sauce and actually got it) The rice was soft and full of flavor and the Mac and cheese made me want to slap my mama. I will be ordering from here againn..... on payday. read more

Rowe's Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Good food prepared with love. I enjoy eating at Rowe's because the menu us filled with good Jamaican food prepared with fresh ingredients. Healthy and delicious, I recommend Rowe's for a good meal for 2 or 50. I appreciate the generous portions when I have to feed a crowd. The owner is supportive of his community and we use his catering services whenever possible. read more

The young lady who prepared my meal was cute and very friend. She must have felt I was having a bad day. She asked, "was I having a bad day?" I replied, "no," but that was a lie. I ordered the salmon with mixed vegatables, and a potatoe. I even got the big salmon, that I requested. Customer service can make or break someone's opinion of a restuarant. Her customer sevice made my day. Living off of Ave D for six years, this was my first time ordering from Rowe's. I will be back. read more

Rowe's Restaurant - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

It pains me to write this review because I Mr. Rowe is a really good and nice person and I've enjoyed eating at Rowe's when I have eaten here. And even had them cater an event for work. However, today I was quite disappointed when I was laughed at by the person on the phone who took my call. I ordered an excoveitch red snapper and all veggies with plaintains. The menu online says the cost for the fish is $11.95 - $14.95. I imagine that this range in costs is based on the size of the fish. I was automatically charge $16 and some change and the fish I received upon delivery was both small and dry. I surmise it was dry because it was so small and had been cooking for too long. I call the restaurant and ask to speak with Mr. Rowe. When she tells me that he wasn't in and I express disappointment with my fish; she laughs and says they are all small. If you knew the fish was this small the appropriate thing to do was charge me less - I was paying cash AND they had my number, OR give me two. I've had Jamaican restaurants do this before. Unfortunately, I will not order delivery from here again. read more

Rowe's Restaurant - My small fish and veggies costing $16 and some change. It was also very dry. - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Delicious, clean, fresh and authentically Jamaican food served in a pleasant atmosphere with a courteous, pleasant and efficient staff. Orders may also be taken out. Rowe's Restaurant catered a very happy event for my family and the food was thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Folks had multiple helpings- also a testament to Rowe's generous servings. This restaurant is a wonderful find! read more

This restaurant lied to me and stole my money. I placed an order for a breakfast platter via UE and the restaurant accepted my order. typically if a restaurant does not have an item they let you know through the app so you can cancel it - they don't accept it. however Rowe's accepted mine. About 20 mins later I get a call saying they don't have the item I placed the order for. So I told them to cancel it and the woman on the phone said Okay. We hang up and I go to the app and the order is not cancelled. I contact CS and they said they cannot refund me because the restaurant accepted the order. I spoke to three UE reps and they all said the same thing. I call the restaurant back and I asked why they accepted my order and why they didn't cancel it. It is then when the woman says she cant cancel orders are on their end, so she blatantly lied. And admitted they just get the orders in and don't actually look at what is being ordered. I've now had to dispute the charge with my bank because they decided to be greedy and grab my order without checking to make sure they actually had the food! read more

Never order from here they take your money and never send the food / the delivery person says the restaurant CANCEL the order what a disappointment ppl work hard for their money to get good service or good food read more

I frequent here often because I love Jamaican food and Mr Rowe's hospitality and winning smile is second to none. I ordered food here for corporate events and I stop by for lunch (ox tails, fried fish, sorrell). Everything arrives hot, well prepared, and on time. I once, asked that they do not add onions to the macaroni and cheese, that request was greeted with a smile. And delivery is free. Mac and cheese is creamy and cheesey like grandma's seriously Kraft Foods should take notes from Mr.Rowe. I order mac and cheese for each holiday meal and for social events for my son's Boy Scout Troop dinners and its always a hit. The mini beef patties and chicken patties are light, flakey, and seasoned with Caribbean spice and everything nice. The five star rating is that Mr. Rowe goes the extra mile. You can actually hear his smile thru the phone. He promptly returns phone calls, answers emails, and sometimes deliver the food himself, he gets the whole great customer service model... spending your hard earned money should be a worth while experience...can we go for pleasurable ? You will not go wrong by allowing Rowe's Restaurant to cater your next event or maybe just some lunch. Oh and beware the ox tails are tender, lean, and highly addictive. Last word. $5.00 lunch specials. Sorrell please get the sorrell. read more

Local, neighborhood, gem. If you like Jamaican food, you should really try Rowe's. You may bump into the owner, he is really nice and welcoming. It's almost like a large family kitchen placed in a restaurant - that is how homemade the food is. Plus, the food is very affordable, you get huge portions, they accept credit cards AND deliver. I LOVE the shrimp roti or the veggie roti. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because you never know if they are able to make the roti dishes. It all depends on if the cook is available, etc...since it has to be cooked fresh and takes about 15 minutes. Also, sometimes they run out of ingredients or dishes (because it's a local fave). It's a double edged sword though, because I really appreciate the fact that it is local and family-run. Favorites: Veggie Patty, Shrimp or Vegi Roti [My spouse loves the jerk chicken w/ plantains - he gets it extra spicy]. read more

From someone who eats oxtail ALOT- they charge $12.00 (when the sign outside says $11.00) for 5 pieces of oxtail and cabbage (I don't eat rice). With SO many other places that give more (the golden crust charges $10.00 and I have LEFTOVERS!!) GO ELSEWHERE FOR OXTAIL. read more

Rowe's Restaurant - I was charged 12 for a medium (5 super fatty pieces) - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Food was not good. Was sitting in a container all day and dried out. Side of okra was mixed with fish?? Yuck. Plantain was greasy and old. Would not recommend them. too bad read more

Great for lunch. Food is always fresh. They tend to run out of options later in the evenings. Best time is lunch time. They have smaller lunch size portions and specials. I could eat rice with gravy, mac & cheese and salad and be full. Sometimes I get the veggie patties as well. Grab and go kinda of place. read more

Great first-time experience from Rowe's. Our order took about an hour to get to the apartment instead of the generously promised fifteen minutes, but the oxtail was out of this world and so were the rice and peas. I wasn't so thrilled about my jerk chicken, but it was still deliciously tender, and I attribute my disappointment to the fact that I REALLY wanted the oxtail and it wasn't being shared :) Definitely a good place for food delivery, if you're ever in the mood to stay in for the evening, plus you get generous portions that'll last for days. Looking forward to trying their ginger beer next, plus that oxtail is on my must-eat list. Yum! read more

great West Indian food... Prices are great (large dinner and homemade juice for $10). Stew chicken comes with rice & peas, plantains and steamed cabbage/carrots. Oxtail is good as is their Macaroni and Cheese. Steamed snapper is another popular dish. They have bunch of homemade juices, breakfast items, patties and more. cons: limited seating, small staff so it could take a while if it's busy. read more

I ate here three times. First two were pretty good, the third time ended the relationship. I ordered some stew chicken, brought it home and dug in. The next thing I know, I bit into something that resembled folded masking tape. I was disgusted. I called Dudley and he came over, refunded my money, and offered me a free meal. I declined. Yuck. I'm so over this place. read more

I didn't think that Jamaican food could be so poorly made by the people who are from Jamaica. We walk in the smell is pretty good, the restaurant looks nice and clean and the staff friendly. So I am thinking the food will reflect what I am seeing around me. We ordered the stew chicken, jerk chicken, macaroni pie and a side of cabbage -simple ... -THE MACARONI PIE?!?!? Unseasoned! If you like a slab of hard cheese with some pasta underneath then that's the choice for you no creaminess what-so-ever. (and there was a piece of hair in it) -The side of cabbage all canned vegetables - stew chicken no flavor ! -jerk chicken all heat no flavor ! The only thing I semi enjoyed was the rice and peas but then again who can't make that? Never wrote a review on Yelp but I had to say something about this place it's crazy how there are good reviews on the place.. Are we taking about the same place? NEVER GOING BACK EVER read more

I can't really speak for the jerk here and I know it's a large measure of a good Jamaican spot but I'm a fan of the oxtail and other dishes. They used to take card over the phone but I guess they had either some fraud with customers (are a lot of scam artists in the mood for jerk?) or the workers. Either way it's a slight let down since most Jamaican spots do cash only so this was a bonus for them. The service is always friendly although the delivery takes a bit longer than hoped. I'm a fan of the oxtail, rice and peas and sorrel. They have good patties as well. I've seen the fish dishes before and excited to try. Seems fresh and smells very well seasoned with restraint though. read more

Average good Jamaican stewed meats, but usually inconsistent. For example, if you're getting a curry chicken roti, your chicken may be amazing but your roti w/ chickpeas will be as dry as your granny's heels. Also, terrible patties. I would've given them more stars had they not sold those awful things. read more

Huge portions for very cheap, the way it should be. Small jerk chicken, chicken roti and a side of okra cost $20 between 2 people, but we could have split any one dish and still been full. House lemonade is delicious - I think they put rosewater in it. read more

Yes! I love their soy chunks with red beans and rice. So good! It's a great vegetarian meal when you're stuck inside and don't want to order pizza again. I also got their lemon ginger juice, which is so fantastic, I was feeling a bit ill and it cleared me right up. The carrot cake is pretty decent too, but it's more like carrot bread - didn't know that before. I like how close it is to my apt and the quality of the food, thanks again. read more

My girlfriend and I had a craving for caribbean food and I was in the mood to go somewhere different than my normal place, Buff Patty on Myrtle so we ended up here. I tried to call ahead and order but was left on hold for too long so we just drove over. There was no one there besides us, so the food was prepared fairly quickly. I ordered a medium oxtail dinner with peas and rice and cabbage and a small vegetable plate. My girl ordered a medium stew chicken with peas and rice and cabbage. To pay with a credit/debit card there is a $10 minimum. When I got home I realized they gave me a small peas and rice and veggies instead of just veggies. The oxtails were to die for, tender and juicy, literally perfect. The rice and peas was tasteless, but a nice texture, the gravy from the oxtails helped the taste of the rice. My girl enjoyed her food, she wanted to go back the next day and get more. Ideally, I would buy oxtail from here and peas and rice from Buff Patty on Myrtle Ave and be one happy girl! read more

This is the number 1 Jamaican Restaurant in the neighborhood. They have excellent options including great vegetarian options like veggie roti, mac n cheese and lots of goof greens, plantains and stew cabbage with carrots. Rowe also makes his own strong juices which include a great carrot blend, lemon ginger and my personal favorite the ginger beer which will clean out your whole system right quick. My personal favorite dinner item is the brown stewed snapper with rice & peas, cabbage and carrots. A small size order leaves you with more than enough to eat for lunch the next day in addition to filling you up. This costs only $10 and is an amazing bargain considering what you get. Two people could split it and still have leftovers. I don't eat meat often but I have tried their cowfoot stew and brown stew chicken and both were quite nice. Every time I am in there I hear someone ordering ox tails and although I don't eat red meat I am quite sure they are top notch because they sell out of them regularly. The only complaint I used to have about Rowe's was the seating situation which was limited, but now he added a nice stool seating option next to the window and so the restaurant can seat up to 8 people. Don't get me wrong it is primarily a pick up and delivery spot at present, but Rowe is such an awesome and caring guy that when you do sit down for that one meal in a blue moon at Rowe's you'll be in for a real treat. Even if you don't order anything you can sit and talk to Rowe, he is great to talk to, especially about tennis, politics and food. I have taken a few friends there and most recently enjoyed a wonderful meal there with my sister in which we received royal treatment. This was the same day Rowe's donated 75 cocktail patties to the community garden I work in for a volunteer event there, and so you can understand that he has his priorities in order. As someone who has lived in the area for the past 3 years, I know that this is not only the best Jamaican restaurant in Bed-Stuy but also the cleanest and friendliest. I also recently discovered an amazing breakfast there that includes dumplings, provision, saltfish and ackee and is definitely worth splurging on every now and then when you wanna skip lunch or eat light in the middle of the day. There are not too many deserts to choose from but the best to go with is the black cake, its delicious and has a great texture. Enjoy Rowe's and tell him Rasheed said hello! read more

Good standard Jamaican food. Ordered the stewed chicken and jerk chicken. Nice size portions. Small on the inside.

Very mediocre. Thought I was going to have good authentic Jamaican food. No real Jamaican flavors at all! Truly disappointed read more

Rowe's Restaurant - A bunch of fat. I asked for extra gravy and this is what I got came up to $23 with uber eats. Horrible first experience - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Mac and cheese had a yummy taste to it, not the best I've ever had but I would recommend. The curry chicken was delicious I loved how well the sauce was seasoned. I will definitely be back for more because the prices are awesome as well! read more

We turned to Rowe's when we had a hungry film crew gearing up for a night shoot - they did not disappoint. Jerk chicken, rice and peas, ital stew, mac n cheese, steamed veg, homemade jerk sauce and extra mac n cheese - great when you have a slew of different dietary requirements. Everyone wanted to take home the leftovers, too bad there were none! Except for the sauce. And I kept that. Thank you for the energy and good vibes! I'll be back. read more

Great Mac and Cheese! Worth going there just for that. Everyone is so nice inside, they let you work there, and their food is good. For the price I can get two meals out of the large portions. Did I mention the mac and cheese is great? It's a bummer they close early though, ten on a friday and saturday night is never helpful when you're craving good food. read more

The absolute best food period!! Customer service second to none and they will meet your catering needs.

My favorite go to spot for good Jamaican food. Rowe's is a great addition to this corner of Brooklyn. I am so excited to discover this great place. The food is superb, the service is amazing and the price is unbeatable. I recommend and will always patronize this establishment. Every single dish is delicious. It's definitely worth the trip, you will not be disappointed!!!!! read more

I was privileged to receive a free meal from Rowe's Restaurant during COVID19 pandemic in support to frontline workers.

Thank you so much for your support and the wonderful food!!! read more

#MadeWithLove this is my first time at Rowe's restaurant and I got jerk chicken, rice and beans, macaroni and cheese and a coconut cake. Everything was totally delicious. Whatever you do make sure you get the mild sauce on everything. read more

I love Rowes. I tend to always order the same thing, the chicken Roti. It is a delicious saucy curry chicken with dark meat (not boneless), potatoes and carrots etc inside a roti shell. (If you've never had Roti, it looks like a burrito but the wrap is made from chickpeas) . I highly recommend trying one. It's a large satisfying meal. When they are out of roti I order a plate with the same curry chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. Also delicious. read more
