The food is always fresh and delicious. I've only tried the Jerk Chicken, but I'm sure their other dishes task as good as the Jerk Chicken. The service is quick, you have the option to call ahead, which I recommend. The food is waiting on you to show up and you're in and out quick. The location is on a one way quiet street, with lots of small businesses. The inside of the restaurant is a bit small, but just enough space to show off what they have to offer. No inside dining, which would bring more customers and clientele in that space. read more

Delightful lady working the counter served us curried goat & chicken and a beef patty that were as close to what your auntie makes as you are going to get. read more

I hadn't been here in so many years so I stopped in to try out something new. I had tried the jerk chicken and oxtails in the past (both quite tasty) so I wanted to try something new this time. Was going to get the brown stew chicken but they had sold out for the day. Ended up grabbing the curry goat with some rice and greens. The woman working inside was very helpful when I wasn't sure what to get once the brown stew chicken was sold out. So the goat was on the bone, which is how I feel it should be personally but to each their own if you don't. It was incredibly tender and there was zero hint of gamey or irregular flavors at all. I once had goat at a friend's family gathering years back and it was terribly gamey so I've avoided it since. This was nothing like that at all. The curry sauce was delicious. If you are someone who says you don't like curry and it's based off trying curry from Indian spots or Thai or something...this is not the same. The collards were good but not what I was expecting at all. I'm used to the greens from the south so I anticipated a heavier vinegar presence and a different texture. I think I prefer the southern greens but that's just what I know all my life so I lean that way. These were still tasty! Paid $14 for this platter but it is a two meal box for sure. I'd absolutely pay that any day of the week (a drink came with it as well) and I can't wait to get back. Royal Caribbean Island Delights - Didn't Suck! read more

I was in the mood for Jamaican food and tried this restaurant. I called in my order of the stew chicken. When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked in and was greeted by a really nice lady. My food was ready and I paid and left. The food looked so good. When I dug in, it was ok. I wasn't feeling the sauce as much. The cabbage and rice were good, though. I had an ok experience! read more

The curry chicken was fine, the rice and beans were nothing special, the cabbage had something gelatinous and gooey mixed in it and had a asian flavor that did not at all match with the flavor profile of the rest of the food. Kind of disappointed they didn't have any plantains, which to me should be a West Indian restaurant staple. Another thing that annoyed me was they had all these ice creams on the dessert menu that had me excited, what's better than Jamaican rum raisin or grape nut ice cream?? Waited in line the first time I went in, just to see about the ice cream, only to be told after waiting for 15 mins that they no longer do ice cream since the ice cream parlor opened across the street. Totally fine, just simply tape up a piece of paper over that part of the menu on the wall, nothing worse than false advertising. Overall if you are desperate for some Jamaican food, this place will do but it is no where near the best I've ever had. read more

I've been eating from here for about a year. Coming from nyc it was hard to find an authentic Caribbean place that makes bangin oxtails. I never heard of curry oxtails EVER! When I tell you everything on the menu will light up your taste buds, don't walk run! There is no place in north east Pennsylvania or even Jersey that can touch this gem. If I know you put your foot in it was a person this is it , the owner delivers. I had them cater my graduation celebration, when I tell you everybody couldn't stop eating, I was almost pissed I didn't have left overs! The serving size for catering or even a single order is perfection! The price is spot on and the location is so perfect 10/10!! I would drag everyone I know here if I had a chance. Ambiance included! read more

The food is very good, the service and staff were great. I got the oxtail platter, beef patty with coco bread, and asked for curry goat, these are my test choices when checking out a new place at 12:40pm they didn't have any goat, or jerk chicken. I must say I saw that the place was small but opted for one of their three tables. You do get a free can of soda or bottle of water with your platter. The food was very good, I ordered two curry chicken patties to go. The small ox tail was almost 16.00 which is why it was not 5 stars. The amount of food was more like an 11. Oxtail meal. I know that the tails cost more...but they were not superb or good portions. read more

I work next door and was ready to try something new and WOW. This food is beyond words. I got the jerk pork with rice and cabbage. I'm full but I'll keep eating it's so good. The picture doesn't do it justice. 1000/10 recommend trying this place if you haven't yet! read more

I was in the area for a couple days and I wanted to stop by. This was my first time visiting the physical location as one of my good friends brought me beef patty with cocoabread the day I moved into my house. Aside from the fact it was a life saver back in 2018 on that move day, the combination of a patty and cocoabread is a true staple of Jamaican food. Fast forward 4 years and here I am staying within walking distance of this restaurant. I was able to talk with Charles over the phone who was professional and as friendly as a friend of the family which I can't stress enough how important good customer service in compliment to the actually product. I ordered the classic safest most important thing in a Jamaican restaurant - Jerk Chicken plate, along with that beef patty and coco bread. Food was ready within 10 mins of placing the order. Got back to my place and opened up. Passed the smell taste. It came with a healthy serving of chicken, rice and peas and cabbage. Here's what I enjoyed about the chicken: - it was slow cooked. If I want slow cooked I'll get some stew chicken. - it had heat. Knock offs will just add a bunch of sauce. They clearly dry seasoned and wet marinated chicken, and didn't just throw jerk sauce and call it a day. Brought me back to Montego Bay. You could taste the flavor to the bone. - the pepper sauce... very good!!! I like some heat on my food and it delivered. For anybody in the East Stroudsburg area, this is a great spot. If you're an ESU student, you should be experiencing this food on the frequent basis! I'll go back again if given the opportunity. And I'll recommend this to anyone looking for good food! read more

I use to order from this place when I first moved to PA but soon realized customer service Trump's taste for me and refused to go back. Today pregnant and craving Caribbean food I caved and ordered.... Such a regret. 1st when I ordered ( less than 2 hours after opening) they already didn't have something. The young lady sounded very monotone as if I was calling her at home and asking her to do me a favor for free. I place order and get there and the debit machine is not working. I tell her I don't have cash and I'm not swiping my debit card at a random atm. After OVER 10 minutes of waiting after ordering 30 minutes ago she hands me my card and says sorry. Now my food was $25 so maybe her giving it to me for free was unreasonable but you would think something would have been offered. So I'm writing this hungry, angry and still craving Caribbean food but refusing to ever go there again *** Update*** I went to Island Flava less than a 5 min drive and paid $6 less for the same order and got service with a smile read more

The Curry Chicken with rice and cabbage was amazing!!! Tender and tasty!!! Will be coming back to try something else but doubt it can beat this! WOW! read more

Terrible customer service. Went in at 2pm and 2 things I ordered they didn't have (rolls eyes), so I just went for my go to which is simply jerk chicken. Their food is good, on the pricey side but good. The lady serving it? Trash. She was so nasty to us because SHE got our order wrong. She misheard something we ordered and when we tried to correct her before she started preparing the food, she got nasty. If I wasn't starving, I would've walked out. There's another Caribbean food place is East Stroudsburg that's just as good and they're so nice. That's where my coin will be going from now on. Two stars because the food was actually good. Not so good that you can talk to your customers any way though. read more

Hakim - The greatest! My mom spotted this restaurant as we drove by on our way to trackside. We wanted to try something different. So we stopped in. My mom and sister stopped in first, and I came after. They were already tasting a carrot cake that looked extremely moist and delicious & my eyes did not deceive me. I tried it and was sold, I wanted one myself. My mom also ordered a spinach patty, but was given a vegetable patty, after she bit into it and continued to eat it she was satisfied with the taste but mentioned it was not a spinach patty. Hakim, apologized for the mistake but didn't do anything to rectify it. Regardless we ordered 2 more carrot cakes and my sister ordered herself a spinach patty and vegetable patty. Both of her patties were correct. Spinach patty & vegetable patty was tasty. I asked about their Rum cake was and offered a sample, of course I took it. The rum cake was delicious, we purchased 2 slices to go. Hakim gave this spot all its stars. The other woman working there was not very friendly & seemed very careless. She spoke to a customer in an impolite manner. However I would return because of the great service I received and DELICIOUS cake. Cakes are good size portions and $3 definitely worth it. read more

Let me start by saying the food is good here WHEN they have what's on the menu. I have been there several times, no white rice more than a few times, no curry chicken, no plantains. Just yesterday no Curry again.. ‍ I would say go early, but I went at lunch time before, and the same thing happened. I don't get it read more

The food has a nice flavor . Seasoned well . The prices weren't the best. Not too many options either , but it was ok, the area doesn't have a lot of options for ethnic food so I guess this will have to work. read more

Great food!!! Good people if you like Jerk THIS IS WHERE YOU GO! One of the few west Indian spots that do Jerk Ribs.

If you're craving authentic Jamaican food, this is not for you. The coco bread tasted like it had been in the refrigerator for a few days. & the food was very spicy but somehow lacked flavor. If you're not accustomed to authentic jamaican food this place might be very good for you, but if you are this is a HARD PASS. I've had frozen food from trader joe's that was better. read more

Had the jerk chicken tonight since they were out of my first 3 choices (kinda bummed since I drove 45 minutes to come here). The chicken was terribly under seasoned and I left disappointed. Hoping next time is better! Just a tip... call and ask if they have your favorite dish before coming here. read more

Royal Caribbean - Jerk chicken, rice & peas, collard greens and fried plantains. - Caribbean Near Me - East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania

Awful! I used to like the food here, before I discovered more flavorful Caribbean food in Scotrun. But what's sparked this review is the cheating. Yesterday, I stopped by to buy carrot cake, price listed as $2.00. The cashier asked me to pay, $2.95. When I asked why, she responded, "plus tax." As a resident of PA, I know sales tax is 6%. For an item at $2.00, that would be $2.12 NOT $2.95! I didn't wanna hold back the line, so I went ahead and paid, as any other disgruntled person, scarred of being seen as "grumbling over peanuts." Yes, my "peanuts, I work for." Did I say, the $2.00 slice of carrot cake is miserably tiny; the front staff cuts it like a "dieter's sampling"! Plus, the taste was stale! I won't be going there again! read more

Excellent curry goat at a fair price! Lucky to have this spot in town when the craving hits

I was slightly hesitant to come here after seeing some negative reviews. But do not listen to them! They are so good and have great seasoning. I got the curry chicken and a beef patty and was amazed at the taste. Great price and great portions!!! read more

The food is ok. It's overpriced though. When I need good carribbean food for a good price Daphnes is the best in the area. Almost 20 dollars for an oxtail platter is robbery. read more

Out of a party of six none of us enjoyed our food. For starters they didn't have everything featured on the menu available. The only sides at first that were available were Greens and Cabbage. Shortly before everyone had the opportunity to place their order they ran out of cabbage. We did carry out our food and not one thing did we all enjoy. The jerk chicken, curry goat, ox tails greens and rice nothing was of please. The service was very slow. My expectation of Jamaican cuisine was not met. read more

Went to this restaurant get some food food is OK the problem I have is they killed the food with Permento the rice is full of permento The meat same thing pimento Permento read more

Eat here as many times as you possibly can. EVERYTHING is AMAZING. My husband and I were only in town for 2 days, and we are here twice in a row. Doesn't even matter what you order, it's all incredible. They were out of jerk chicken so we got jerk short ribs, then chicken curry, and oxtail. The owner let us sample anything we wanted, so we tried the BBQ ribs and the goat, both very tasty. Prices are great. Huge Meal for two, under $30. read more

When I say Amazing!!! This food is top notch!!! The place is fairly small, so I recommend take out!!! The food is all home made & it has an authentic Caribbean taste. Anyone looking for a REAL Caribbean taste hit up this spot u won't regret it !!! read more

I get the goat there, and it's always great. Spicy and hearty. Definitely best place in East Stroudsburg. Try it!

Their food is usually very good, but we use them to cater for a party. The rice was very hard, we had to recook it, and we got 2x the amount when it was fully cooked. We also had a problem with the jerk chicken, it was extremely salty, we had to cook potatoes and add, this was very unconvincing for us and time consuming. An apology was made. But the price remained the same! read more

Jerk chicken was on point for this location. If you're looking for some authentic caribbean food in the Poconos area, definitely check this place out! Friendly young staff was knowledgeable about the area and food. read more

the people who work here are very friendly. The food is good, but a little expensive for take-out. Be careful what you order, many of meats in the meals contained bones (which could be a surprise if you like to shovel the food into your mouth like i do) read more

Yummy ! Had the chicken curry and the chicken literally fell off the bone and the veggie pie was so flaky and delicious. Gave us a huge portion also even though we only ordered a "mini." Would definitely recommend! read more

The Service is. Horrible the women are so rude they act like they are doing you a favor, the food is just ok and they always run out of oxtail the coco bread is fake the curry is not spicy the chicken is not cooked all the way and they are close on Sunday's too bad they aren't better people we really need a good west Indian spot read more

When I moved from NY i was ecstatic that I could still enjoy Urban food. Don't get me wrong the food is good and you get a good portion if you are of a certain race..yes I have stood there and listened and watched. The staff only tends to one customer at a time and you could be waiting for quite a while. The owner (older woman) is rude and definitely does not care about keeping customers happy. So if you have the patience and demeanor to deal with her holier than thou attitude and small portions by all means please visit them, after all they are the only restaurant that serves this kind of food in the area so why worry about bad reviews read more

This food is authentic and well made. Even if you aren't an adventurous eater, the Jerk Chicken is amazing. A must in EBurg.

This is a small family owned place. The food here is excellent. Ordering process is a little slow so it's best to call and order ahead of time. The family here are extremely pleasant and this place is by far the best Jamaican place around! I've been going here for years. read more
