This was my first time here and I loved it! It's a father & daughter team and the customer service was WELL above & beyond! The food was GREAT! I had the jerk chicken and it was very flavorful, my friend had the stew chicken and she loved it! The place is SUPER clean! I'll definitely be back! P.S. the cook can add a lil more "Jerk spice" to the Jerk Flavoring. Thanks guys! read more

I'm sad this delicious, kind and healthy restaurant has closed down. I must say I've never had a bad experience at this restaurant. The food was always delicious. The chef was consistent with his ingredients. The dishes I ordered always tasted the same. The staff were always welcoming and took pride in making sure their customers enjoyed the experience. Well, I guess no more vegan Jamaican food for me. I hope the owner and staff are okay and I wish them well on their future endeavors:). read more

Had jerk chicken plate w/plantains (f*cling delicious) red beans and rice with a side of oxtail and coco bread. When I say, OXTAIL IS A MUST...... meat falls right off the bone. Must eat here!!!!!! read more

Delicious and the staff are super friendly. 10 out of 10 would recommend. We got the appetizer wings and lamb! Will be coming back to try other stuff. read more

Excellent flavors but very spicy. Excellent service. We tried the Bbq Jerk Short ribs which were tender and well cooked but very spicy. We also had the Ackee and Saltfish which was very good. Lastly we had the curry goat which was tender and delicious. The rice and peas were ok as were the veggies. The festival was really good and is the star. We also tried and recommend The house juice. The service was great and the staff were friendly and kind. read more

Unfortunately, it seems that we lost a really good Jamaican restaurant in the neighborhood . I was craving some oxtails so I decided that I was gonna go Sentra over. It is now being replaced by a Latin chain snack shop.. really sad to see them go hopefully they just moved to another location read more

Good Yardie food man!! Go!! Go!! Go!! Go!! Real delicious food all around!! Mad beef patty man! That is how you know the place is good!!!

The most authentic Jamaican food on the West coast! Coming from the East coast it's difficult to find that authentic taste out West. This is it! Karuba's is the best I've tried in Los Angeles. Don't forget to get the coco bread with your patty. #bomb read more

I need to give them more stars. The food is AHHHH MAZING. Whenever I come to Inglewood I got to stop by. I get the Red Snapper dinner YUMMY. If you're near by stop in you won't be disappointed. read more

Y'all have no clue how excited I was to see this place open. I'm always looking for good Jamaican food - beef patties, chicken patties, oxtails. Karuba's is fresh, flavorful, and less oily than a lot of other joints I've been to in the area. I LOVE beef patties but Karuba's CHICKEN patties are so off the hook packed with spices that he really won me over with them. It's got some heat and that flavor will linger with you for quite some time. Now the oxtails...my mistake the first time was eating the chicken patty before the oxtail. The spiciness of the patty definitely overpowered the flavor of the oxtail. But when I ate the oxtail first...man...so savory and rich. I could eat the gravy like soup. I have also had the ackee and saltfish - another favorite! It's got good heat and flavor. I tried to stretch that meal out for a couple days cuz I didn't want it to end. I haven't made my way completely through the menu but I'm gonna get there. Don't sleep on this place y'all. I love when new spots open up, especially cuz the first year of a restaurant is always the hardest. I want to make sure this place sticks around for years to come. read more

YA MON! Fling me a Ting! This place is Ja-maican me hungry just thinking about it. First of all, Karuba and his daughter were there working hard as the place was packed. They both had such a great vibe and were so kind to each and every customer there despite being slammed.... UNHEARD OF IN LOS ANGELES. Respect! Visited Karubas with my sister and girlfriend on Wednesday. We had the jerk chicken, bbq beef and curry goat. The curry goat was not baaaaaaad! BBQ Beef was amazing. jerk was on point. Also had chicken and beef patties to start with a side of Jerk sauce which tasted homemade and was freakin OF THE HOOK. Not to mention they have TING! In case you dont know, Ting is sort of a carbonated grapefruit drink kinda like a squirt but way better. I believe its bottled in Jamaica. The food was so good that I drove there (which is decently far from my home) the next day to get the Escoviche fish. O...M....G... that dish is amazing. SO FLAVORFUL, perfect heat and cooked to perfection. I may have to get it again today.... Let me be the first to admit that I love food, I cook...this place is the read deal if you want some great Jamaican food and they have only been open a couple of months. Karubas really takes pride in their food and service. The food is exceptional and the only thing that tops that is their kindness and service. My vote is 5 plus stars read more

Today was a good day. Not only did they happily bring it over too me from across the street, but the portion and flavor was impeccable! Lol I didn't get to take a picture cause of how yummy it was. But i got the coconut shrimp and it came with amazing sweet potatoes fried that were perfectly seasoned and so fresh. The shrimp was perfect, i don't even like coconut shrimp but this one will get you to love it. It was a great size and was only $10.35 after tax... so not bad. You get six shrimp too. Love this place cause they always are lookin out and their family business aspect shows. Take care of the people who come in there and eat. read more

Searching for best oxtails in my area (or further out, if need be); this restaurant had a high rating, near me & family-owned (all good signs); so I decided to try it. Verdict: really loved my Oxtail dinner and the vegetables were very fresh. They've made me a return customer. Oh and father & daughter were also so very nice. read more

Yardy Kitchen - Highly recommend! - Caribbean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

They are just great and that's all I have to say really because if I just recommend what I ate it won't allow you to explore the menu in full and everything is great read more

My wife and I used to run (not walk) to eat the chef's food when he had a cart at the Whole Foods in Playa Vista. If you dragged your feet he'd be all out every day. Then he informed us he was opening a spot in Inglewood (a few blocks from our home) we were ecstatic! Unfortunately, we moved to NJ a few months after they opened and I have been dreaming about the food here. My wife and I are Vegan so we usually get one of the Beyond Meat bowls or vegan patties. I can't wait to move back in the next few months... Karuba's Yardy Kitchen will be one of my first stops after getting settled in. read more

This place is great, big portions, reasonable prices, and the food is great. They take their time when they cook your order, and you can definitely taste the hard work and care that goes into each dish. The oxtail is my go-to order because it's delicious and filling. read more

First time ordering from here and it was amazing! We ordered the jerk chicken, oxtail, ribs, and chicken curry. The chicken curry and oxtail were our favorites, each dish comes with a generous amount of plantain which was such a treat. Be warned the ribs are very spicy, I wish the description included an option for a milder sauce. The meat was well cooked, but even my middle eastern husband struggled with it! read more

Ugh... sooo good!!! There are several vegan options. The jackfruit curry is amazing. I will be ordering again very soon!

First time trying Jamaican food, and it was really good. I had the Yardy bowl with jerk chicken. It came with rice, beans, plantains, corn, and bits of strawberry. I didn't think that the savory flavors will go with the fruits in the bowl, but actually the plantain and strawberry went well with everything else in the bowl. I felt what I ate was healthy, filling, and wholesome. My wife has been nagging me to eat healthy, and I think I finally found a place where I could eat healthy without compromising on eating tasty good food. read more

Delicious, Unique, Sincere, and 100% Worth It I loved this place. The two employees were so sweet and friendly. They welcomed us in, made recommendations, and even gave us more than we ordered because they wanted us to have even amounts of items (it was my roommate and I). I learned that Yardy means "Homie" for Jamaicans, and man they made us feel like their homies for sure. read more

This food is amazing. I ordered the curry shrimp, it has so much flavor in it. It even has a little jerk kick to it.

Amazing new spot. The people who work her and the atmosphere is great. The food was wonderful and authentic. read more

I had rice and peas with jerk chicken, plantains,oxtail??, fishtea. Rice and peas was okay no taste of coconut milk, jerk chicken tasted oven bake not jerked on a jerk pan, but nevertheless it was good. Sautéed vegetables was great not suggy .Oxtail did not taste or look like oxtail, not sure what it was but it was definitely not OXTAIL. Fish tea was seasoned and you could actually taste the fish it was great, a bit overkill with the tiny chopped peppers but overall it was fantastic. Serving for each portion was more than usually for a Caribbean restaurants . Customer service was excellent. read more

Came in for lunch today to try their vegan food. Ordered the Beyond Bowl and a veggie pie. Honestly, much better than I expected. Sometimes it takes a while for new restaurants to hit their stride but these guys are well on their way. With so many options these days, I seldom hurry back but will likely go in tomorrow for the meatloaf and some other appetizer. Very clean restaurant and great hospitality, bring some friends and order a bunch of stuff to share... read more

THIS IS THE SPOT!!!! I ordered from them through Postmates. I am thoroughly impressed! My friend and I had a taste for Jamaican food so we gave them a try. We ordered the beef short ribs dinner, a side of jerk chicken, extra sides of veggies, plantains and rice and peas. Everything was well-represented, freshly made and arrived hot which was awesome because we placed the order about an hour before closing. The ribs were meaty and tender and the chicken was delicious. The meat portion was also nice. I couldn't finish and had to tap out! The veggies were cooked well- not limp and soggy. They still had a nice crunch.I LOVE PLANTAINS and they were goooood! This was definitely a dine-in experience at a nice restaurant in a take out container. I will definitely order from them again! read more

Went to this establishment based on my mothers suggestion which she received from someone on the NextDoor app, I would have been ok with a hotdog combo from Inglewood Costco, but she insisted ... enjoying Jamaican cuisine like I do I wasn't about to argue. Walked inside the storefront we were greeted with a broad welcoming smile of Michelle. We began to review the menu and Karuba came out front to also welcome us. Both Karuba & Michelle were very pleasant and accommodating. We ordered our meals to-go; my mother jerk chicken and I ox tails. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PATRONIZE THIS ESTABLISHMENT! The pricing for the fully packed container is fair, the vegetables are delicious, as are the rice and beans and the oxtails!!!!!! Devine! The only suggestion my mom had was for their patties to be cooked a bit longer, which was shared and received with grace. OH AND PARKING IS FAR EASIER THAN THE OTHER RESTAURANTS OF THE SAME TYPE IN THE AREA, they use Postmates and will be adding Ubereats soon read more

My hubby and I used to go daily to the Whole Foods in Playa Vista on Jefferson for his food at the food cart. We were thrilled to find out he opened a restaurant, though missed the convenience of having him in the neighborhood. If you're looking for Jamaican/Caribbean food, look no further. His salmon patties, chicken curry patties and newly relaunched Jamaican spare ribs are all you need. Those jerk spare ribs are unlike anything we've ever had (and my hubs is Jamaican!). They're totally worthy of me breaking my pescatarian diet. THE MAN CAN COOK! And everyone who's ever tasted his food knows it! Your bellies won't be disappointed! read more

The restaurant will be closing, go this week to get your last great meal. We've visited the restaurant numerous times over the last several years, sad he's closing . read more

So I've never actually been to Karuba's in person but my husband and I have it delivered often. I love it so much and realized I've never left a review. I love Jamaican food and Coley's (when it was in Inglewood back in the day) was one of our family's favorite restaurants when I was growing up. Karuba has taken its place. My husband is vegetarian and SUPER picky so I love that they have options for him. He always gets the jackfruit plate. I usually get either the Curry chicken or curry shrimp plate (The salmon is good too). I'm more of a seafood eater but their chicken falls off the bone. They also seem to be very quick because even with a delivery service (y'all know they take forever) they are speedy and the food is still hot. You won't be disappointed! read more

Awesome Met dad & Daughter Family style joint! Good food very home Had Jerk chicken Curry chicken Stew Kids Mac n cheese Red beans & rice Jerk patty Plantains Ginger mango drink All good Home style flavors read more

Now this is some REAL Yard food!! I got the brown stew chicken dinner w/ 2 patties & a Kola Champagne. I'm eating as I'm typing lmaooo. I highly recommend this restaurant. And I'm kinda picky when it comes to my Jamaican food. This food is delicious! Big up! Respect! read more

Yardy Kitchen - Brown Stew Chicken...Very Delicious!!! - Caribbean Near Me - Norcross, Georgia

The best Jamaican food in Los Angeles. I have finally found the best ever!!!!! I ordered oxtails reminded of being in Jamaica.

Coming from the East Coast, we have tons of Jamaican restaurants readily available. After doing my research, Karuba's Yardy Kitchen is my go-to destination for authentic Jamaican food in LA. Good portions, extremely clean restaurant (love the decor) & the food is always fresh/hot. Also, they always have coco bread whenever I go (if you frequent Jamaican restaurants you will know why this is important). NOTE: My last visit I had a long wait (which was frustrating) but the food made it worth it. I'll be back again! read more

Really good oxtails and jerk chicken wings! I've only had 2 things off of the menu so far, but from what I've had, they are the best Jamaican food I've tasted in LA. The barbecue jerk chicken wings were finger licking good, full of flavor and sauce. The oxtails were meaty and the gravy over the rice was exactly what you need on the side. Ire mon! read more

So I've given this place a try yet again. For me, the price is reasonable however what you get for the price is a good amount of , a small amount of side and a small amount of rice. It's seems as they are trying to save money lol. As far for the taste, it's the same, it's okay but not nearly close to what you would recommend. Mac and cheese, it's seems like boxed Mac with extra cheese, mushy but if your starve you wouldn't care. Customer service is good and friendly, which is hood because they got a 3 instead of 2. I would not recommend for taste and fullness read more

I had a BBQ jerk short ribs & really enjoyed the meal. They were perfect portion and ingredients are fresh. Short ribs fell off the bones, and BBQ sauce was not overwhelming, it went perfectly with rice. Next time I have to try the fish or seafood. High quality food. Good service. My dinner was $17. You can get lunch bowl for $12. Will be back to taste more menu. read more
