😐 I don't know if they changed the cook but I was very dissatisfied with the oxtails.Gravy was watery and the meat was tough and bland.Every time I order it gets worse and worse.Also I ordered a large Oxtail dinner and received a medium.The large Oxtail comes in a black container and is usually enough...

    Fantastic Caribbean food! Stopped by on a whim and as soon as you walk in, you're envolped in all kinds of amazing smells. They have an excellent selection of meat options from Ox Tail, chicken, beef, and more with all kinds of sauces. I had the chicken curry with rice and beans and a side of cabbage. Got a little sample of the plantain and ox tail, too. It was a ton of food and wasn't sure if I would be able to finish it all, but couldn't help myself from eating the whole thing. The meat was so juicy and tender! Further, the nice lady who helped us pick out what to eat (I think her name was Rachelle?) was super friendly and insightful. You could tell she truly cared about making sure we enjoyed her food. Honestly, knowing that kind of love went into making the food assured me I'd love it before I even stepped foot out of the shop. I can't wait to go back and try something else next time! Highly recommend!

    I am disappointed to say that the cabbage was spoiled , OMG it left a horrible smell in my car and i just got it detailed and then i tasted it and then it was slimy and i had to spit it out , The stew chicken wasn’t all that tbh also the oxtail was hard , am really disappointed, Their drinks were Great but the food was spoiled so i wasted my money.

    All I can say is never again! I ordered the Mac n cheese, fried chicken, and fries via uber eats and everything was inedible besides the fries. The chicken was cold, dry, and tasted and smelled as if it was old. The Mac n cheese was extremely disappointing. I couldn’t even get my fork through it. It’s a huge layer of cheese on top of dry macaroni.

    My favorite of all time. Every single time I order from here the food is top quality. They never ever fail me. When I’m at my worst or not feeling well, I always want food from here because it’s so comforting to eat. It’s not spicy at all, the spices the ingredients the pairings are all perfect! I am however wishing it could be a tad bit spicier but I am one of those flaming hot Cheetos lovers. I can never bad talk this restaurant I have ordered so many times from here that I wanted to leave this review. I am eating as I’m writing. I did not feel well to cook today but Culcha always has my order ready and the amount of food you get is worth every penny. I will always continue ordering from here. Can’t forget the bun and cheese and banana pudding. Also don’t forget your beverage!!!

    The food was great! Must try. I am used to NY jamaican food so I was skeptical at first but this food was 10/10 and good prices for jersey. I wish I lived closer. The girl at the register was very friendly and even offered a reward card/future discount program for frequent visitors. If you are in the area you must try this restaurant. It did not disappoint.

    The customer customer service skills to this place is so abominable. The professionalism of the associates that work in this place is so abominable. I ordered off Uber eats. It says that they’re working on my order. My driver gets to the restaurant. The restaurant then calls me. States that they do not have any more mac & cheese. They wanna offer me something else. Mind you my entire order was curry chicken Which came with a salad and rice and peas. I also ordered a side of mac & cheese and a drink. They didn’t have the mac & cheese. So I told the lady I did not want her substitution. So she told me that I had to cancel on my side. Which is absolutely not true. The restaurant is supposed to let the customer know through the app that they are out of an item. The customer then can decide on a substitution or continuous the order how it is without that item. Or cancel the entire order. This lady had the nerve to tell me “ No, you have to cancel it. I offered you a substitution.” That’s not how it works. How do I go to a restaurant to buy something and the restaurant is going to tell me what I’m going to eat and not eat. When I told her you need to do it on your side I still want my food minus the mac & cheese, of course. The gentleman told the lady that was on the phone with me to just cancel the order. And just hung up on me. I don’t know where these people think that they get off with this customer service acceptable. Well, you just lost the customer. Learn how to do better

    Was in the area for Mother’s Day and was so excited to try out a Jamaican restaurant since there is none around my way. Shauna was so helpful she gave me different options. I had the oxtail 😛rice and peas cabbage and curry chicken and can’t forget the plantains 😋😋it was so good I started eating the oxtail with my fingers and only left the bones 😅🤣reminded me of my childhood. I would highly recommend this place and the food was made with love ❤️ can definitely taste that

    I’m giving them two stars because I’m very disappointment, I always order from them for delivery no issues … this time I ordered from them I ordered a large curry chicken meal with rice, beans and cabbage, when I received the order, it was indeed a small a little bit of meat and salad. No one called me to inform me they were out of cabbage. I’m still very confused to why I have a small instead of a large I spoke with a lady on the phone. She did not apologize. She said maybe I got the wrong order which I did not because my name was on the receipt she said they were out of cabbage so they gave me salad, but who said I wanted salad , when you are out of something you suppose to call the customer, no apologies, no next time you order give us a call will comp you nothing.. so unfortunately, I will not be ordering from them anymore and I love this please

    OMG!! I was starving for some oxtail. This place did not disappoint. The food and service was to die for. The price was awesome and the sorrell and ginger drink was excellent. I will definitely visit again when I'm in North Jersey. 30 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I went very early on a Sunday morning. The man that served me seemed to be there alone at the time, he was very professional with good manners. The food was excellent! My only issue is they don't have a sitting area inside. You can only pickup/takeout.
