    Mac and cheese
    Fee F.

    As someone that used to visit the Original Sally's that was located on Ave D in Brooklyn I was looking foward to experience the new home in Gateway. Ambiance was ok. But could be a little more Jamaican vibe brighter. Service was good waiter was attentive and honest. He wanted to make sure we were satisfied. The fish was ok could have been seasoned a little more and more spice could have been in the escovitch sauce. To not serve plantain with any entree in a Jamaican restaurant was disappointing. You could only get it as a side. The jerk wings were the most disappointing. Its a fried wing with wet sauce no spice no taste of jerk anything. They were dry and seemed old. I would pass on that. The Mac and cheese was good but I could tell it was microwave In the plate it was served in. As a west Indian person those wings were disappointing. The live DJ was a WWWWWHHHHHOOLLLLEEEE VIBBBBBBEEEEEEEE. Hubby and I were dancing in our seats. The drinks we ordered was a mixed bag my mango drink did not taste any mango just a bunch of Vodka. Changed it for a Sally's sunset. It was delicious. Bartender took the criticism and was willing to fix or make a new drink. She was great. They just need to really work on presentation of the drinks and food. They have a big name to live up to and alot of competition out here. Hopefully this review helps. Good luck Sally's.

    Lunch special curry goat, white rice, and steamed veggies

    Great customer service. The owner came out she was extremely accommodating and friendly. My family and I dined in on a midweek afternoon. We ordered Sally's punches (authenticaly made with wray and nephew rum) from the happy hour menu great food and drinks options for the prices. I believe 3p to 7p. We each had a lunch special item Great portions for the price . I ordered the curry goat with white rice and steam veggies. Tender succulent pieces of goat. My one critique would be it could've been a little spicier as curry traditionally is, however I understand that the masses can't always handle heat. I was able to get some pepper sauce on the side . That did tun it up!. 8/10 We ordered the carrot cake for dessert. It was moist and tasty not overly sweet 7/10. Sally's has offered carribbean delights to nyc specifically Brooklyn for decades. I use to frequent the flagship store on Clarkson Ave as a child. Ill be back to enoy some more of the menu. There is convenient parking in the back . Spacious tables and bar seating. A great floor to ceiling mirror by the restrooms . Nice to check out your fit before heading back over to the table lol.

The interior is cozy, with tables fairly close together, but they seemed to turn over quickly, so it was not an issue. The décor gave the restaurant a warm island vibe, and the music fit the atmosphere perfectly. The music was played at a comfortable level, so we did not have to shout across the table to hear one another. Once seated, we were promptly given water and menus. The service was great. Although I no longer remember our waitress's name, she was friendly and very attentive. She checked on us regularly and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. As someone who grew up eating Jamaican food, I was a little skeptical, but this place far exceeded my expectations. I started with the codfish fritters, which tasted like home, except home does not serve them with such a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the Scandal Rum Punch, which was very good. For my entrée, I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and vegetables. I was pleased that the oxtail was not overly fatty, and the meat fell right off the bone. I also really enjoyed the rice and peas. My only critique was that the oxtail had a little too much browning, but it did not overpower or negatively affect the flavor. They were also offering happy-hour specials on appetizers and drinks, which was a bonus. My company and I left happy and satisfied with full stomachs. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

It's a loud and vibrant atmosphere. They have a pre-theater prefix menu which we decided on. Empanada app was 3 large empanadas and each one was flavored and yummy. Also opted for the guac and chips app just to have something a little lighter. Entrees are served with rice and beans. The pernil was excellent. Super tender and garlicky. The ropa vieja was also very good, with deep flavors. Dessert was the course that was disappointing, which was such a bummer after a great meal. The flan was definitely overcooked, so the texture was off. The cafe con keche was decent. The prefix is a great deal which included a drink and it was a lot of food All in all, Havana Central offers some wonderful Cuban flavors and a great choice for a pre-theater dinner. Bonus, if you are seeing Buena Vista Social Club, show your tickets and you get 15% off the bill.

Walked into Margon Restaurant in Midtown and instantly felt like I found one of NYC's secret cheat codes. Small space, big flavors, zero nonsense. The kind of place where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers but everyone's united by one thing... serious hunger. Ordered the Cuban sandwich -- pressed, crispy, loaded with roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. One bite in and I stopped talking... which never happens. This thing didn't just deliver... it showed up early and over-prepared. Then came La Bandera Dominicana Braised beef swimming in savory gravy, yellow rice piled like a mountain, black beans doing their thing, and sweet maduros sitting on top like the victory flag. Simple. Comforting. Dangerous... because now I want it every week. Place gets busy, gets loud, gets chaotic... but it moves like a well-oiled machine. Years of experience and zero attitude. Just good people making great food. In a neighborhood full of tourist traps, this hole-in-the-wall is throwing haymakers. Sometimes the best escape in NYC isn't a rooftop... It's a Cuban sandwich and a plastic tray. And honestly... I'd pick that every time. #nycfood #hiddennyc #midtowneats

I did my best to crowdsource a good jerk chicken rec from my Instagram story, and the overwhelming favorite was Peppa's Jerk Chicken. We took the bus up to 28th street, and arrived at what felt like the promised land for a jerk chicken plate: Bob Marley on a Jamaican flag, tin wall panels spray painted with scenery of the homeland, employees slightly rude with thick Jamaican accents, etc. We both got jerk chicken plates with rice & peas and plantains. I was beyond hopeful to have a new year round jerk chicken spot. However, my hopes were stabbed in the heart when I took one bite of the plantains. These were legitimately the worst plantains I've ever had. I couldn't even believe they served us these. The plastic fork couldn't even penetrate the surface of the fried banana, they must have been sitting for DAYS. I wish they just told us they were out of plantains. The jerk chicken and rice & peas were actually really good, but plantain-gate just left a bad taste in my mouth. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__
