Sisters' Caribbean Cuisine - Oxtail Plate (comes with a side of vegetables and rice) - Caribbean Near Me - New York, New York

I had an amazing experience at Sister's Caribbean Restaurant in Harlem! The curry goat was absolutely delicious--perfectly seasoned, incredibly tender, and fell right off the bone. The pineapple cornbread was a wonderful surprise. I've never tasted anything quite like it, and the sweetness paired perfectly with the savory meal. The lemonade had a back-porch nostalgia. What made the experience truly special, beside's one of the best meals I had in a while, was the owner. She was so kind, warm, and welcoming to our Abyssinian Baptist Church Bible study group as we gathered to break bread and study Scripture together. Her hospitality made us feel right at home. If you're looking for authentic Caribbean food, outstanding hospitality, and a place that serves every meal with love, Sister's is a Harlem gem. I can't wait to come back read more

As a Trinidadian, I was deeply disappointed after ordering the so-called "Trinidadian Stew Chicken" from this restaurant. The dish they served was far from authentic and frankly insulting to our rich culinary heritage. It lacked the signature flavors, spices, and texture that define true Trini stew chicken. There were hints of BBq, some sort of pepper and definitely too much salt. If you want to offer a genuine Trinidadian dish, I strongly suggest changing your chef and experiencing authentic Trini cuisine firsthand--whether by visiting Trinidad itself or exploring the vibrant communities in Queens, New York, where you can taste the real deal. Authentic stew chicken is rich, aromatic, and perfectly seasoned, none of which was evident here. Calling this dish "Trinidadian Stew Chicken" without respect for the recipe and culture is blasphemous. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and makes the effort to learn and honor true Trinidadian cooking before serving it again. Until then, I cannot recommend ordering this dish from them. read more

Sisters' Caribbean Cuisine - Trinidadian Stewed Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - New York, New York

I was in need of stewed chicken, so I called and spoke with someone, asking the cost for a plate of stew chicken with no sides. I was told it was the same price with or without sides. I then ask if I don't want the sides can they give me a little bit more stewed chicken he asked the chef and he came back and said yes that wouldn't be a problem. This is what I got for $15, SMH. Also decided to try their chow mein, this dish should be taken off the menu completely. It's repulsive it just taste like overcooked noodles with absolutely no seasoning. If I let my best friend from Guyana, taste this, she would be insulted. read more

Excellent food! I've eaten here several times and had the roti curry goat, roti oxtails, oxtail dinner, cornbread, and callaloo - all were delicious! The service is tradition Caribbean, more friendly than professional and genuinely welcoming. read more

Came here the other day and got the goat curry w vegetables and rice. It was delicious. The food felt comforting and like if I were eating at an aunties home. The goat curry had a good amount of spice and flavor. I recommend eating in the restaurant. The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. I'd return in my next visit to NYC. Thank you for the hospitality and meal! :) read more

First visit, possibly last. Incredibly mid overall. Chicken with roti was $20? If I had known ahead of time, I wouldn't have bothered. The portion wasn't exactly sized for $20 and the flavors were just somewhere in the middle sadly. The roti didn't taste supe fresh and lacked that certain something. If you're going to charge that much, at least include hot sauce and a can of soda or something. read more

For all my Harlem years Ive never stopped ate at sisters I would always walk past. Not for any reason it just always gave me sit down restaurant and when your a new yorker on the go you dont always have that chance. Family has recommended them to me and I wanted to finally try it. Ordered two rotis chicken and goat. Took a while but baby the wait was worth it. Some people just a roti by the filling, for me if you can't make curry then that's a big flag. The filling should be a given I only thing in terms of the filling I judge are the ratio of meat in your filling. The chicken roti obviously has more protein than the goat, but it wasn't skimpy. I judge roti but the crust aka the roti it has to have flavor and buttery and flakey. Sister had that I can see why there were so many roti take out orders. Sister is a staple not to be under appreciated. read more

The food is always delicious, but the kindness and hospitality is exceptional. I called to order something quickly before catching the train, it was like I was in my aunts kitchen and she was making me a plate to go. Can't beat that feeling of being taken care of. Wonderful experience as always. Thank you! read more

I got the oxtails. They were great but for the price the portion was small. You get about 6tails and they skimp on the sauce. However the meat is tinder and the greens are fantastic. I would say this is a great place for side dishes not main course. read more

I ordered from Yelp. The meal was done in the time Yelp said. When I got the food home it was still hot. I scootered and some of the food leaked but not a lot. It was wrapped in plastic but that didn't seem to hold all the way as I bent up the tin foil tin it came in. Overall, 7/10. Not the best and certainly not the worst. The oxtail wasn't too flavorful or fall of the bone like I'm used to. Coming off a 3 day fast, I wanted better for myself. The sides were better than the meat. The curry chickpea/potatoes were good. They could have been more spicy, 7/10. The callaloo was really tasty. It had chunks of okra which knew for me. I don't usually like okra but I liked it here. The callaloo was also spicy which I like 8/10. The mix between the two side dishes is really good. The customer service was ok as well. Nice gentlemen that gave me my food read more

I grew up eating oxtail in the Bronx, and I have to say that the Oxtail here is the best I have ever had. The meat is so tender, and the sauce in it is amazing, especially when you dip the roti skin in it. My friend got the curried chicken and the jerk chicken. He said the jerk chicken is spicy, but both were good. Sisters Caribbean cuisine is a must-try. You can't dine in but eat it at Central Park nearby or in the comfort of your home. read more

My husband and I were visiting from Oregon and were on the hunt for Jerk Chicken and Oxtails. Sisters delivered and then some. They were in the process of getting together a big catering order and sat us quickly. The woman who started the restaurant in 1995 was so kind and generous. Every bite of food was bursting with flavor. We had the jerk chicken, oxtail stew, callaloo, Mac and cheese, pineapple cornbread, roti, the vegetable curry and washed it down with a hibiscus lemonade. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's a cute restaurant with a vibrant interior.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We left full and smiling. If I still lived in NYC, I would make this a staple in my restaurant rotation. read more

Excellent food !! Drive all the way uptown and from work to get this amazing food, always a pleasant experience

My family and I just visited NY a couple days ago and was in the hunt for some good, authentic Caribbean food. Boy did Sister's not disappoint. Absolutely worth the subway ride. Worth every penny. Food was phenomenal. If we had stayed closer, probably would have went every night. Even my mom who is very picky loved the food which says a lot. Hospitality and service was awesome. Will be back one day read more

The service is consistently pleasant and the food is delicious. As long as Sisters' is open I will never make candied yams. Their collard greens and stewed chicken are among my favorites. read more

First and Last Time I heard about this spot from a friend and decided to take a chance. Food: There was a lot of grease in the veggie plate and very little flavor (pictured). I didn't finish the plate. ‍ Service: The server's tone seemed a bit rude and not friendly I'm disappointed and really wanted to give this spot a chance (I wanted to support our black owned businesses). I think the owner should do a spot check on flavor, quality, and service. read more

Sisters' Caribbean Cuisine - Vegetable Plate - Caribbean Near Me - New York, New York

We stopped by here after Curlfest because we refused to spend money on food trucks at the park for fear of long lines and small portions. Sister's was not too far from the shuttle stop drop off for curl fest so it was very convenient to get to. Before I start off my review I'd like to if this was any other kind of restaurant it would have been a 3 start review BUT you know how the say if the Caribbean women taking your order at the counter is rude than it's going to be a great meal, well that's what this place was like. No one was flat out rude to us but the customer service was not great. The place is small so when we walked in every seat was filled ( more people from curlfest!). No one acknowledged my parties presence until I finally had to go up to a waitress and ask about a potential wait time ( they didn't have one ) We were so hungry we decide to just wait it out because it seems a party would leave in about 10 minutes. Once we sat down the tables were not wiped down, only the plates and cups were taken away. We heard the oxtails were really good so a couple of people in my party were going to order that, I wanted jerk chicken. THEY RAN OUT OF OXTAILS to the disappointment of my party. We all ordered jerk chicken meals ( it was really spicy for anyone that doesn't like heat ) All in all , I'm not sure if the volume of people coming in took them off guard. But the customer service/ experience was not great but the food is 5 stars. I'm willing to make the trip from NJ to Harlem just to experience the oxtails on a less busy day. I'll keep y'all updated. read more

Went to sisters for oxtails and for $20. I got four small pieces of oxtails, the rice was mushy, and the cabbage was bland. The oxtails were tender, but they had more of a Spanish taste than the Caribbean taste. I will not be visiting Sisters again. Sharon read more

This was a lovely takeout meal! I hadn't ordered here before tonight, so I decided to give it a shot, and I wasn't disappointed. I ordered a smattering of small paltes so I could get a good variety. The cabbage and carrots were fresh and crunchy, the coconut rice was aromatic and perfectly cooked. The collard greens had a bit too much garlic for my taste, but they were the exact texture that I wanted. The pineapple corn bread...well, I guess I wished it was a little breadier? It was a bit on the mushy side, but it tasted great. The star of the show tonight was the mac and cheese, which seemed to have a mix of cheeses and a few different textures - I got a bit of the crusty/nearly-burnt edge, which I always love. Thanks, Sisters! I'll definitely order again. read more

Poor stars because I have food doesn't taste consistent and not answering their phones ever. I have had two dishes spill on the way while delivered and I could not get my money back or reorder because they refuse to answer their phone The callaloo is very good. But the Coconut rice and peas is a hit or miss. I have a feeling they have different cooks. There's a cook that uses a lot of coconut to make the coconut rice and peas which is absolutely delicious. But there must be another cook that does not use a lot of coconut and the rice comes out really dry and tasteless with the peas in it. I strongly dislike this latter one. If you order mac & cheese they do not put it on the side they try to squeeze it in to their small container which really pisses me off. My recommendation when you order from here is to make sure you always order the rice and peas if you are getting it delivered.The reason for this is because when I get my food delivered and i order a dish with no rice, the juice from the vegetable leaked into the bags and multiple times my food had fallen out of the bag before I can grab it. The rice will soak up the juice and prevent you losing your meal. Again, any dish with no rice , the juice from the veggies sips out of the container into the paper bag and by the time did the delivery person drops it off it either breaks out of the bag and the food spills. The problem with this is not only have you lost your food but they do not answer their phone so there's no way for you to actually get your money back or to get your food recent back to you which has happened to me a few times and has really pissed me off. Don't order the salmon. The fish size is not with the price. For tasty food, they can do better. I would give it a 5 if my coconut rice and peas was always moist and tasted like coconut, the oxtail was tender and they gave more meat than bones and my food isn't always delivered spilled. 3x deliverer handed me the bag and my food feel out from the bottom of the bag ... unbothered. read more

I absolutely adore this place. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for Caribbean home cooked cuisine. The inside decor and vibe are very warm and down to earth. Especially in the heart of Harlem it just gives you some really gooooood vibes. The jerk chicken was so well seasoned, tender and moist. All of the sides that we ordered were probably the best we ever had. We got these sweet potatoes (which I'm normally not a huge fan of) but when you eat it with the veggies and chicken... it's a perfect ensemble in your mouth. Oh and plus one for having a strong AC in the dead of heat. Life saver. read more

I placed a catering order for this Saturday. I ordered jerk chicken, curry chicken, rice and peas, Mac and cheese and plantain. All of the food, and I mean all the food was flavorful.

Note: If you read till the end I will recommend a better location that is worth spending your money at. We ordered via UberEats, I got a jerk chicken entree and my roommate got the curry chicken entree. We both got "coconut rice & peas", cabbage and candied yams. They forgot the candied yams for the curry chicken order. (Uber refunded it) The first problem is the portion size, which is honestly just a joke. We've ordered from a few Jamaican places in the area and I've never paid so much for so little. For the same price we usually get double the portion. Not at all worth the price!!! The jerk chicken hand a good flavor and was nice and spicy, but it was dry. The "coconut rice & peas" did not have any coconut in it. The cabbage tasted dried out and old. The candied yams were also dry but they had a nice flavor. Once again the portion was just a joke for the $2.20 extra they charged. My roommate thought the curry chicken was good, just too small of a portion. He also had the same comments about the rice and the cabbage. If your looking for good Jamaican food, I would highly recommend: Flavas International Grill. There portions are great (at least double) and the food is awesome! The price of the Jerk chicken is the same, curry chicken is a little more expensive, but once again the portions are much bigger. The only reason we didn't order from here was they weren't available on UberEats at the time. read more
