CARIBBEAN AUTHENTIC CUISINE

Off rip, this place smacks.Been hearing about this place for a while now, saw them blow up on TikTok/IG a while ago. Finally got to try them out. Im hyped to say, this will be my Caribbean food spot now for good.Wife and I Both ordered the same thing, large jerk chicken dinner, and a beef patty. She got cabbage and plantains, I got greens and plantains. A. The chicken was on point. I appreciate that they're actually hot. A bit too spicy for wifey, but for me it was ON POINT. The spice rub under the sauce is the realness. Chicken was hella juicy, hella tender.B. Rice and beans is in fact, rice, and beans. Not overcooked, good chew, flavorful, I smashed all of mine.C. Greens/cabbage, I'd prefer the greens, I like my greens salty, these were perfect, not cooked to oblivion either. The cabbage was smacking too, just on the sweet side, wifey approved.D. THE. PLANTAINS. I know, I know, they aren't dessert, but I always treat them like dessert. Perfectly caramelized, sweet, and chewy. I'm 100% going to get these as a side some day and eat them with a scoop of ice cream. I will report back with my findings after I do so.E. Beef patty was a standard beef patty. Good, would make an easy lunch.Overall, go eat here. If you made it this far into this review, you either are the owner of the place, or really weird. Nice to meet you either way.

Authentic Jamaican food! My bf and I visited and met Chef Nev on a Friday evening. Entering the restaurant felt like walking into your mom's house and smelling home cooked food. We ordered the curry goat and oxtails with rice and peas and greens. Everything was fresh, tender and well seasoned with fresh herbs and spices. Now, the rice and peas and oxtails have a kick, so if you're not a fan of spice, you may want to try something different. Overall a great experience and we will be returning.

I learned about this restaurant from "Mr. Chimetime", who is a food blogger that travels to different cities and reviews different restaurants and food. I saw the review for the Caribbean Authentic Cuisine on the food bloggers IG page, and was excited to try the restaurant, seeming I wasn't aware there was an Caribbean restaurant close in the area where I live. I had already been told by my coworker a day or so before I went, that the line was super long, and that she waited over two hours to pick her food order up, and still left the restaurant empty handed bc the owner had run out of food. She suggested to not try the restaurant at this time to allow the hype of the restaurant to die down. However, I decided to still try it out.I went to the restaurant at 1:00 pm on a Saturday, and the restaurant opened up around 2:00 pm, in which I stood in line that hour in between. The line was starting to get very long, and I was the 8th person in line. Eventually, about another hour later, I was able to order my food.Now, after ordering the food, the turn around of receiving the order wasn't too bad, maybe about 15 - 20 minutes. But overall, I was at the restaurant about 2 1/2 hours. Overall, I thought the food was good. I've tried other Jamaican Restaurants that the food was better in my opinion. But the food was good. The owner of the restaurant was very nice. I would suggest, for customers that are interested in trying the restaurant, please pack your patience. I believe the interest of the restaurant after receiving nice reviews on such a huge public platform, has definitely increased the amount of customers than what the owner is used to. It's no excuse; but that is my assessment of the long lines, and running out of food, online orders not being honored, etc. I ordered the large Jerk Chicken Dinner, with Cabbage (I wish the cabbage was more seasoned) and Rice and Red Beans. I also order a Beef Pattie, but I had eaten the pattie before taking a picture.

Got Jerk Chicken delivered. It was pretty good. Very flavorful. Be warned this is SPICY but not overwhelming but "has a kick." It does come with rice or your choice of rice and beans mixed as well as another side such as mixed vegetables (I think these were from frozen, hence the minus, I think I bought these exact mixed vege in a grocery store near you), which blunts the heat. Chicken was tender and moist, rice was abundant. Service was quick. Food arrived warm which was anticipated given it is quite a distance from our house.

Don't even attempt to get food from here unless you have at least 3 hours to waste. Ordering online isn't any better. (It will say food ready in 20 minutes and it will be hours. This food is NOT worth it. This food isn't even average. Most overrated Caribbean food ever. Hands down the worst Jamaican food in the deteoit area. Mr chimetime must have owed these people money with he bull shit review or he must have never had Caribbean food before. When you call, The phone goes straight to fax and no once answers. Their hours online and on the front door are inaccurate. They need to hire some more help. Mad slow, Arrived at 7:15 didn't get to order until after 915. Then it took another hour to get my food. When I got it home Order was incorrect and my entire family was disappointed. Worst Caribbean food I've ever had. 1 star because zero is not an option. This place is nasty. Food is nasty. Definite a pass. Don't waste your time. There are better family owned places with better Jamaican food in the city. Look at the pics. When you order yams and plantains as side and below are photos of what I got. ‍

We'd been looking for a quality Jamaican spot for almost a year, and this has been our favorite thus far. We came in for lunch during the week, and the place was pretty full. The menu appears to be updated daily and is available on the wall. We placed our order at the counter and it was ready to go within 10/15 min. Chef Nev shared info on food/drinks.We ordered jerk chicken and oxtail plates. Both came with a good portion side of rice & peas and greens. It should be noted that the jerk chicken was a little spicier than some of the others I've tried before, so if you don't enjoy spicy maybe try something else. We also ordered 3 fresh juices (sour sop, ginger, pineapple/ginger). The pineapple ginger was my favorite! But really all three were delicious.The location has plenty of parking and space inside. We definitely enjoyed the music while we dined.If you're looking for quality Jamaican food, be sure to give this place a try!

If you're looking for the real deal Caribbean cuisine then you come to the right place. Much love and respect by the owner and the feeling felt like Jamaica for real. The ox tail will bring you back every week like I do.

My partner got carry out from here. We got the jerk chicken and oxtails with a side of plantains. The food had a good flavor. The chicken was supposed to be thighs but ended up being legs. The oxtails were very fatty. The red beans and rice didn't have many beans. The cabbage was good. The greens didn't have much flavor but were good. The plantains were good but costly for the amount we got. We got maybe 6-8 slices and they cost $8. The whole meal was around $60. There was only one person working and cooking there so I think that had to do with it. I'd give them another chance in a few months to see if maybe it was a fluke thing and I'd look at the prices better when ordering.

Halal! They said meat comes from Saad's. Dominic helped us pick our food and he made us a special potato dish which was delicious. If you like meat this is a great place to come. The place had a nice vibe with Bob Marley playing. The drinks were very good. Definitely try the Jamaican patty

I was happy to see a Caribbean restaurant where I didn't have to drive too far to find! So glad I found this little gem! The food was fresh, the owner was friendly and authentic would be the key word of choice! When you feel like you've stumbled into a place that takes you to the home of the chef, it's a win!
