“ If you are looking for an amazing West Indian place to eat. This place is it. I only ordered 2 things from the menu, and that's only because I can't get past ordering the Oxtails, Rice, and Peas with Cabbage and Ackee and Salt Fish with Food(that's Dumplings, White Yams, And Potatoes) When I tell you it's like a party in your mouth. I ordered food for delivery. This place was recommended to me and I am glad I listened. It's a must-try. RUN DON'T WALK TO ORDER. ”
“ The cornmeal porridge is the best I've had. The brown stewed snapper was huge, fresh and had so much flavor. Bread fruit was good, the fish soup might look a little suspect but it had good flavor, this soup was more fresh which is good if you're watching your pressure. But, their red pea soup was more like bean soup. Didn't like that at all! Ackee and Saltfish was so good, not too oily and perfectly seasoned. They give you a good amount of food for what you pay for. Definitely frequent here a lot. ”
“ I've nothing bad to say about this community staple. The food is good, the service is efficient and the restaurant clean. I used to get oxtail, but now I just can't afford it (market prices), so it's the Brown Stew Chicken for me! My mildest complaint is that I ask for extra gravy and I'm not sure I get it. "Extra" is subjective. Genesis stays in the rotation when I'm not in the mood to cook. ”
“ This place is the best Jamaican restaurant I have ever eaten from. I ordered here for lunch and my jerk chicken was so flavorful. They delivered all the way to Manhasset from Jamaica, Queens & thank goodness because there is no Jamaican food around here in Nassau County. They came fast and the food was affordable. The place only ACCEPTS CASH! Make sure you have cash on you. They have affordable lunch specials for $8 with free soda. I would absolutely order from this place again. Thank you for an incredible lunch Genesis! :) I highly recommend this place for lunch. ”
“ The food was delicious. I had oxtail roti. They wrap it up nice so there was no mess when we reached home. The oxtails were tender and seasoned nicely. My roti was amazing but I absolutely love roti so I know good roti when I taste it. I would visit here again when in the area. ”
“ YES LAWD!!! I have ordered from here a few times and for some odd reason, each time the food gets more and more delicious. Lmao. Last night I ordered a SMALL curry chicken with rice and pease and steamed veggies. Small was not what them portions were CHILEEEE I ate good and I have leftovers- won't he do it. For my side, I had to order the Mac n cheese since I was staying home for the night (my lactose intolerant warriors know what I'm talking about lol) and that Mac was BUSSIN!!! I have leftovers from that side too! Portion control smortion control lol. This is definitely my go to Caribbean food restaurant in the area. I love ya'll! ”
“ Best Jamaican take out restaurant in Queens. This has been my go to spot for Jamaican food for years. I always order the same things- goat curry or oxtail with rice and peas, both are delicious and cooked perfectly. The goat has just the right amount of spice and the oxtails is rich and flavorful. Large order is shareable, during the day they offer a lunch special for $8 which is the perfect size for 1. Fast service, the head chef is always present and visibly active in the customer service. I took away 1 star because the goat has A LOT of bones, I prefer the meatier pieces and they don't have good pepper sauce. ”
