    Curry Chicken Platter with plantains
    Debbie S.

    Delicious! I ordered from their truck at a festival and was pleasantly surprised that it was a nice portion, which is hard to come by from a food truck where often the portions are too small. Not here! :) Loved the chicken curry - the tender fall of the bone meat had spice and flavor that was just right and tasted so homemade. It wasn't greasy at all, just delicious! Rice was nice and fluffy and the plantains - you can't go wrong!

    Really really wanted to enjoy the large stew pork I just ordered but both the rice and meat are so salty! I don't know if it's the gravy, and because I asked them to put a lot on the rice- maybe that's what's making everything so salty. So after paying almost $30 to order and have it delivered, I'm disappointed :(. The delivery guy was the nicest. The cabbage is great. Decent portion. No fried plantains. But the salt on everything else is too much to be enjoyable. Plus I don't mind it, but if you're not a fan of pepper, I'd advise you pick another menu item cause the spice was hot! Not sure if I'll try here again. Revising my review to 1 star since management has decided to be rude and label my review a "shakedown" because I am a Yelp Elite contributor. If I were you I WOULD NOT order here and waste your money. Management takes no accountability and quite frankly the food is bad.

    Ordered in for lunch earlier and decided on Jamaican food for today. I ordered through Grubhub and food was delivered hot and fresh in 30 minutes. I ordered the curry goat with rice and peas, the Mac & cheese, and a beef patty. Mac & cheese was ok (probably wouldn't order it again) but the curry goat and beef patty were great. The prices were pretty good and they have a very nice delivery driver. I'd order again from here again and maybe try the jerk chicken or oxtails next time.

    Tasting soup realizing it's more jerk seasoning then water

    Had to take the time out my day to complain about these people here.....sorry excuse for a Jamacian restaurant... I ordered a large jerk chicken with a large chicken soup and got this in return.. soup wasn't large and jerk chicken had absolutely no jerk sauce from what I thought comes to find out it's so much jerk seasoning in the sauce a real Jamacain wouldn't know... completely too watery, slow workers who choose to talk instead of serving and absolutely zero count ability of there actions it's like hey people still gonna spend there money lol ok I got my money back and went to kfc which was actually $11 cheaper even tho I wanted a full meal of Jamaican food.. best advice is to go to 10th Ave and 26th or 10th Ave and Madison this spots needs to close asap ..

    I'm back you guys/women with another spot. I go here all the time but this is my first time writing about it. I usually go here for the Jerk Chicken but I want to try some Curry Goat so that's what's in the picture. It has a spicy feel to it and that's given for Jamaican food. But it is really good though. If you want real deal Jamaican food just go here and thank me.

    Jerk chicken with rice and peas and side salad, DAMN GOOD!
    Noodgydaddy ..

    Jerk chicken is off the hook and the Oxtail is the best I've had, no joke! I met one of the owners and she's an incredibly nice lady (she also had the same name as my daughter ) and the place is clean, GO CHECK THIS PLACE OUT, you'll thank me...

    Left: stew chicken, rice & peas and cabbage Right: Jerk Chicken Meal( jerk sauce is really spicy)  extremely generous portions
    Tahera Z.

    I drive all the way from Jersey City to get my food from here, that should tell you how good it is! I always call ahead just to make sure they have what I want, their food is so good they occasionally run out of certain things. The staff is so sweet & the food is delicious. I wish they would hurry & make their way to JC already!

    Best Jamaican food ever, never disappoints. I order from here at least twice a week. Feel like I'm home when I eat from this restaurant.

    From the tropical shores of Cuba to the snow-capped Andes of Chile, Latin American cuisine tells…read morethe story of conquest, migration, and cultural fusion through every aromatic bite. This vibrant culinary tapestry weaves together indigenous ingredients, European techniques, African traditions, and Asian influences to create some of the world's most exciting and diverse food experiences. For over the past two decades, these chefs have elevated traditional ingredients and techniques to new heights. We've passed this restaurant many times on a busy River Road in Fair Lawn and decided to stop in. Upon entering this warm and cozy interior without a reservation as first-timers, my partner and I managed to locate a table outside on this summer-like day. Juany's Cafe is a cozy, family-run establishment making a great impression as a place for brunch on locals and visitors. The owner is Peruvian, and the Mexican cook began in the kitchens of his homeland, known for its authentic Latin-inspired cuisine. We decided on the Latin bowl with marinated steak accompanied by black beans, sautéed veggies, avocado, and sweet plantains & Grilled Chicken Burritos with Sweet Potato Fries. Complimentary fruit salad started our meal. All ingredients were fresh, and the seasonings were unique with their bold flavors. There was a wait time for food as everything was homemade, made to order, and well presented. The prices were more than reasonable considering the quality of the food. Our server was friendly and accommodating. The service was a bit slow due to a large party group. Brunch is the norm here, but we can't wait to try it out for dinner.

    In order to give our Bergen County Boys a break , we returned to Juany's Cafe in Fair Lawn !!! Damn…read more, their food is fantastic !! It's Latin based with Mexican and Peruvian delicacies. Real simple today with just entrees and excellent mint Iced Tea. Here's what we had : Fish Tacos, Chicken Quesadillas, Pulled Pork Tacos, Tri-Tip sandwich. And Alhambra tacos which are skillet tacos with Bacon Chorizo, Beef and all the fixings !!! A special shout out to Alberto and his family who took such good care of care of us !!! Bob McDonnell also joined us today. If you're in Fair Lawn don't miss Juany's. !!!!
