I?m from NYC where we have tons of good Caribbean spots and tons of friends who?s parents andgrandparents and aunties will cook for us too... this spot was just as amazing! I tried their medium curry chicken with rice peas, cabbage, and plantains and my friend ordered the medium jerk chicken with the same sides. Both tasted really good. We alsogot the homesip juices passion fruit and sorrel. They were so refreshing to go with the spicy meals. The guy who worked therewas really nice and helped us pick out what we wanted. He also played some great reggae. Will 100% be coming back the next timewe are in the area!!

Since writing this review we have tried to order again on FIVE separate occasions and each time wewere unable to get food. Two times they closed earlier than their hours listed say on Google, once the answering machine messagesaid they were closed randomly for a few days during a week in May, and twice we were told they were sold out or did not havethe meals we wanted to order. I 'm not a fan of the whole, text in your order especially when you text them and it takes 15-20minutes to get a response. I 'm so sad about their poor customer service and the fact that they are never open when they shouldbe. All I want is to enjoy their delicious vegan food but I guess it 's based on luck if you can actually get it. I 've beenwanting to try this spot for awhile because I read they have a lot of plant-based options. We were at Camelbeach for the day andwere looking for a restaurant nearby with vegan options which honestly, it 's pretty slim pickins ' in the Poconos area as far asthat goes. I had no idea we were only about 1 mile from Caricom Spices! We called and the owner texted us the menu. We placedour order immediately and drove over. We had to wait for it in our car and they called us up to the window when it was done. Wegot the meal with the vegan jerk chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to see how large the portions were and I was happy to eatmy leftovers as lunch the next day. The food was hot- both temperature and spicy. I LOVED it. The plantains were out of thisworld! It was so good my mouth is watering just thinking about it again. The prices were reasonable especially for how much foodwe got. I can 't wait to go back and try the curry chicken.

I had the best fall-off-the-bone jerk chicken ever at this restaurant. I was blown away when the server asked if I wanted oxtail sauce on it. I didn't even know... read more I had the best fall-off-the-bone jerk chicken ever at this restaurant. I was blown away when the server asked if I wanted oxtail sauce on it. I didn't even know you could get it like that. It was absolutely amazing!

The rice was perfectly cooked, the beans melted in your mouth, and the plantains were fresh, crispy, soft, and sweet. The vegetables were also good. The Jerk Chicken seasoning and spice were tasty, but the chicken itself was quite dry. Overall, I would give this place 4 stars.
