First time at the restaurant because it had the best reviews for a Caribbean restaurant and it did not disappoint! My pineapple drink was very authentic and sweet and the food was 10/10. Staff was helpful and pleasant and the Owner was such a nice guy! Will be going back again.
I love it food is delicious service is absolutely Awesome🤗 It's a vibe tunes always on point❣️Rasta smoothies is magnificent I love love the Peanut punch😋
Was on maps app realized I never reviewed this place. I've been here dozens of times excellent food but I'm in the mood for Caribbean or Jamaican food this is as good as it gets; But it's not for everyone. Be sure your taste buds agree however if you enjoy Caribbean food, I can't say enough curry chicken (in picture circle bowl below) with extra gravy on my rice & cabbage. Hmmm!!... & the jerk chicken (HOT🥵! pic in square styrofoam) again lots of gravy on rice and peas, are my favorites. The best quality and flavorful !!
During my visit, I experience good customer service; a kind-helpful employee helps me navigate Vegan options (of which I discover the menu has a lot more Vegan options than apparent as of 4/4/2023—coming from a Caribbean culture, I realize Veggie is like another way of saying Vegan, maybe depending how hard the -ie at the end is, one might better differentiate if meaning Vegan or Vegetarian 😁🫢). Upbeat Vibes! The Vegetable Roti is so filling and good. I literally eat a quarter of the meal at a time, each quarter very slowly: the ingredients taste very well together. The kicker of the meal is the Sorrel, a hibiscus drink full of flavor!!! I really enjoy the meal. My allergies literally stop acting up when I eat the meal: my sinuses calm a lot when partaking of any part of the meal (eating/drinking). The establishment requires a minimum $15 order for Debit/Credit Card use. The establishment takes different forms of payment.
Great home down cooking, generous portions and home made Sorel to drink. We tried the roti with curry goat and doubles with chickpeas, both were excellent
Okay, listen...Stop reading reviews and order! The food is SUPERB!!! I was a little weary ordering because some places are hit or miss. This was a HIT. Great flavor, great portion size, oh and did I mention GREAT FLAVOR!!! WOW. I got the curry goat with buss up on the side, I nearly fainted when I dipped it in the gravy to taste it. Then the GOAT....man it flatlined me. I will be ordering again on Monday. 20 out of 10 highly recommend!!!
I recently tried Limin’s Cafe Caribe in East Orange and had a decent experience. The food had good flavor and felt authentic, especially if you enjoy Caribbean cuisine. The portions were fair, and everything tasted fresh.
Someone recommended this place to me and they were not wrong! The restaurant has parking on the side which is always a plus. The restaurant is small, a bit dim, not fancy at all but that’s beside the point because the food is top notch. We ordered a curry shrimp in roti to start with. It has potatoes and chick peas in it as well which was very delicious. Really great curry flavor but not too dominating. For the entrees we got curry beef and stewed oxtails. You can choose to have it with rice and pigeon peas, fried plantains or cabbage. We got both to try them. Everything was delicious, but the curry beef was the best of all. Never had beef curry like that before. I’m going back just for that next time. Probably will also try breakfast! We also tried lime and sorrel drinks (0.9 alc). I liked that they had daily specials and a drink bar for smoothies, shakes and tonics. So much to try!
Limin's offers amazing West Indian food, and the staff is very friendly, capable and nice. However, it's time for Limin's to emerge from post covid and put the tables back down and allow an eat in atmosphere rather than only take out. The piled up chairs and tables ook unprofessional, but thankfully, the quality of food and the quality of service make up for it.
As a Trini myself, I always have high expectations of food and this place met those expectations! The portion sizes were large and the food had great flavor. There are lots of non-alcoholic drink options and punches available as well. You can sit and eat or take your meal away.
