I got the chance to try this restaurant for lunch! When I arrived I parked on the street nearby. I walked into the cutest restaurant! We sat and were served by Sal and he was great! We had: Rum Punch Codfish Fritters Peppa Shrimp Mac and cheese and callaloo Oxtail Stewed Chicken Carrot cake Velvet Cake The food was delicious and I loved the stewed chicken the most! The pepper Shrimp was spicy! All in all, it was a good time!

I love love this restaurant! During our stay in Manhattan for the July 4th weekend, we decided to visit Jasmine’s Caribbean Cuisine and let me tell you, it was lit! From the moment I walked it, it felt right. It’s a small, low key and very neat place. Great vibe, food was delicious and the live DJ was lit! My kids love the place. We will definitely visit again when we come back to NY!

Great small space in theater district for dinner before the show. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Service was quick. In case you're wondering, YES, you can eat the orchid garnishment.

Nice and cozy Caribbean restaurant. Perfect for a nice brunch or night out. The service was phenomenal and the food was excellent. I’ll definitely go back just for the drinks alone. Some of the best mojitos and spicy margaritas I’ve had.

Jasmine’s Caribbean is a laid back casual spot located right off Broadway. Perfect if you want some bites before or after a show, or if you just want to catch a vibe with some good eats. Jerk Chicken Wings - One thing about me, I love spice, so when the waitress said are you sure, I said bring it on. It definitely had that kick I was looking for. Devoured I was looking for. Peppa Shrimp - Just like the wings, nice and spicy. I was more than happy with these and their house made Pepper sauce. Lobster Tail - I knew I wanted to Surf and just look at that thing. Absolutely massive, well cooked, and so tasty. This did not disappoint. Jazzy Pasta - The pasta had some really nice ratios and I enjoyed a lot. But let me tell you now, when I added some of the Oxtails to this, it took this dish to another level. I HIGHLY recommend that you try it as well! Oxtail - Slow-cooked, and savory, fall off the bone…this is exactly what their menu said, and they didn’t tell a lie. I would eat this everyday if I could. I wanted to try it with rice, but I only have one stomach. That said, the combination with the pasta with amazing. Bread Pudding - This was the dessert I was looking. The soft, warm bread pudding was lathered with syrup and the vanilla ice cream was a perfect compliment. I thoroughly enjoyed Jasmine’s. Some people think that it’s impossible to find good Caribbean food outside of Harlem, but I suggest they give this spot a shot. There is a lot more I want to try in this menu, so I’ll see about that next time. Happy Eating!

Visiting New York Feb 2025. This restaurant should be listed on the NYC visitors guide. Beautiful and vibrant atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Our waitress was absolutely phenomenal!!! The food was delicious. My steak was perfectly cooked. The oxtails melted in my mouth and the jerk chicken was off the chain.

Came here for dinner on my birthday, I was not disappointed. The food was delicious and filling. Good portions! The Mac and cheese was your grandmother Mac and cheese that’s how flavorful it was. I had the curry chicken, it could have had a bit more curry but no complaints! I will definitely be back! Our waitress was patient and very attentive! The space is small, so I did feel a little cramped when people were seated beside me. But I had a good time, and it was good vibes only. Great food and music on my birthday? What more can I ask for!

I had the happy hour rum punch, wow! with cod fish fritters, pepper shrimp and calamari. Jasmine has a cozy vibe with very attentive staff..

Jerk had a good kick of spice to it without the sauce! The sweet plantains were a good side dish.

My friend and I celebrated our December birthdays there. First thing first, Austin who answered several of my calls prior to our reservation was super patient and kind. This was my first time there. It's a lot smaller than I thought buy cozy and inviting. I'm annoyed with myself because I didn't get the servers name. She was the best. So sweet, friendly and accommodating... a real gem. She took pics of us and was wonderful. The prices were very reasonable. We ordered the coconut shrimp and fried calamari as appetizers which were very fresh and delicious. We both had the Island Gyal cocktail which was not as strong as I would have liked but very nicely presented and taste very good. Out entrees were the curry shrimp with rice and peas and oxtail with rice and peas. The presentation again was on point and portion was good. I did expect the flavor to be a bit richer in the oxtail but was falling off the bone tender and I did like it. We both had a slice of red velvet cake at the end of our meal which was sooo good! I had a very nice time and enjoyed it very much. I do look forward to dining there again. Thank you to the amazing server who again was awesome!

It was like going uptown only to find a neighborhood restaurant. Small and cozy. The service was wonderful. Staff friendly and courteous. The food came right away. Even before the drinks, which by the way, did not disappoint. Cool glasses of iced water were replenished without asking. The atmosphere (close seating) was warm and inviting. The music was soft and had me bobbing my head to the melodies. But the expense, be prepared. Look at the menu before you go. Although tasty, wow! Definitely Manhattan prices. We ordered the Oxtail w/Jasmine Rice, broccoli and carrots. A side order of plantains. Stewed Chicken w/rice and veggies. Two drinks, tax and gratuity $130. Although, I enjoyed the experience, mostly because of the company. I probably will not return.

Great- tasting Caribbean food! Sumptuous portions too. We got the Caribbean Salad with a zesty orange vinaigrette dressing. And Jerk Chicken with coconut rice & peas. Excellently spiced chicken chunks. Also got the Island Gyal cocktail & Sorrel.

Ordered the oxtail meal for 38.00 small pieces of meat the usual. The meat had a nice spice to it. The cabbage was good and the coconut rice and peas stuck together clumps here and there . The food did come out piping hot which was great. I tried the crab cake very salty thank god I had water nearby. I tried the rum punch and the sorrel. Very nice refreshing drinks. On the way out be careful because you can possibly hit someone with the door 🚪. If they are standing behind it. Or you could possibly get hit yourself. Looks like an apartment door. Music was great and the decor was also nice. Happy eating.

Came here with a friend for dinner on a Friday evening. Service was great, attentive. Drinks: Was told the rum punch was good but pretty strong. My Sorrel was good, the cinnamon flavor really came out.Appetizers: Codfish fritters were over cooked. Main: (special) Jerk Salmon with spinach rice and broccoli- salmon was overcooked and the jerk sauce had no heat. Rice was wet and inedible, broccoli was good. Escovitch fish was okay but definitely lacking some seasoning. Side of callaloo was salty and left a lot to be desired.

Jasmine’s ambiance was super cute and inviting! However, I was a bit disappointed with the food—it didn’t quite live up to the hype from the reviews. The service was fine, and the curry chicken was actually really good. My dish was vegan, but the menu only listed it as “vegetables.” I believe it should clearly label what vegetables are included. Unfortunately, my meal came with a lot of corn, which I’m allergic to, and I ended up feeling sick later. I didn’t send my food back because I generally avoid doing that restaurants can sometimes take offense but it did affect my experience. On a positive note, the music and overall vibe were great! Jasmine’s has so much potential to be a superb restaurant, but I’d love to see more thoughtful and well-prepared vegan options. Also, the calamari came out in small bits and pieces instead of whole rings, which was surprising.
