Had brunch @ Stella’s today…Absolutely delicious. Warmly greeted, food well seasoned (curry chicken roti & chicken w-waffles)…we enjoyed our meal. Both were a good plate (not small plate) serving. Rum punch real nice w/a sugar stick 👏🏽. Found me a new place for good & delicious & delightful sit down Caribbean cuisine. I look forward to trying more items on the menu. Thank you!!!

FOOD WAS AMAZING. Flavorful. Drinks were nice and strong. I’ll be back. I had a wonderful time. The saltfish on tostones was my favorite part outside of the festival and my seafood roti.

Had dinner here on a Thursday night and Stella’s did not disappoint. The waiter was incredibly helpful and answered my questions around ingredients, recommendations, and top dishes. The food was so flavorful and had depth. I added photos of our entrees but we also grabbed two chicken patties and the jerk shrimp as apps. The chicken patty wasn’t dry at all and the shrimp tasted like it was marinated for hours. Our three entrees were very different from one another but everything was cooked to perfection. The chicken in the curry chicken wasn’t dry at all, the salmon was moist and well made, the oxtail was falling off the bone. I’m looking forward to coming back again and trying different dishes!

I found this place on Instagram while looking for a restaurant in Brooklyn. First I tried to make a last min reservation... And I mean a very last minute, like 45 min before. I couldn't make one because they were busy. My husband and I decided to try coming anyway. Thank goodness we did because this place is small but a vibe. All seats were filled. Servers are super friendly and attentive. Food always AMAZING. I mean so freaking flavorful and good. Drinks were strong and tasty. I'm a foodie, I WILL BE BACK!!!! Tell Vera I sent u! Oh side note, hubby had the rum punch and I had the coco comfort!

We went from Long Island to Brooklyn just to try Stella's and we're glad we went. We visited for dinner on V-day and got there a few minutes before 7. That's when happy hour ends. We got seated a minute after 7 but they recognized our arrival time and still honored the first round of drinks and apps from the Happy hour menu. That was already a good sign and service was super friendly, professional and fun. Our server was Shemmel and he was so good and personable towards us. We also met the owners and they are good people. I wish I got their names. A very sweet and friendly couple. Food wise we got the Mussels (good portions), chilli tamarind wings, oxtail, snapper Escovietch, sweet plantains and bread pudding. The broth in the mussels was a tad bit salty but maybe be a bread offering would have made it better. Wings were alright. Oxtail was tender, juicy, perfectly flavored and very enjoyable. The snapper was also good. Sweet plantains were cooked just right and hit the spot. We asked for their hot sauce and I believe we got the scotch bonnet, which we loved. Drinks were strong and on point. Ambiance was nice also. There is a cozy speak easy downstairs that can fit maybe 20/25 people. There's an insta wall for pics, Bob Marley art piece and Caribbean flags. We also found street Parking a few blocks away. We plan to visit again. Thank you Stella's for a fun night!

I came in on a Sunday afternoon and despite the crowd I was quickly seated. The staff was pleasant and attentive. The music and aesthetic was also perfect! I ordered the Mac and cheese, chicken curry roti, and rum punch. Everything was seasoned to perfection and came out nice and hot.The owners were also here and super pleasant. Definitely would come here again.

Stella is a bar/ restaurant that serves Jamaican food. We had a few cocktails called Ting aling are nice and strong. It tequila based with pineapple and fresh lime. There was an amazing dj to set the vide. Playing a lot of different rnb. We ordered the jerk bacchanal it had jerk chicken, jerk pan fried salmon, it had jerk prawns and mussels. You also get to choose the two side we chose garlic vegetables and plain rice, lats start with the prawns there where cooked to perfection they where soft and full of flavour. The chicken was so moist. Even the breast was tender and so juicy. The salmon was so nice it was cooked all the way through and was still flaky. The mussels where nice and fresh. The jerk flavour was so blanches it had a bit of a tang and a little sweet not overly Spicy! We asked for some orange sauce on the side it had a bit more heat! I highly recommend this restaurant. As I was leaving the owner was smiling and asked how the meal was. I said it was amazing the chicken was so moist he was laughing and had a big smile on his face! Please support this restaurant you won’t be disappointed.

Great food, great people! This is my first time having Caribbean food but the experience doesn’t disappoint, it only makes me want to try more from Caribbean cuisine. I love everything that I ordered, except for the coleslaw (but I hate most coleslaw anyway). The chicken wings were smoky yet tender. Chickpea dish was an absolute love story for the chickpeas. The salmon was very creamy and coconut-y. Unexpectedly but the the ribs were phenomenal, tender, flavorful. Creative drinks are strong so this can be a plus for some. The restaurant has outdoor dining, which is always a plus for the seating options. Service was great! Price was a bit expensive but I would still recommend since the food is so good.

Terrific new Caribbean restaurant in the South Slope! Portion sizes were great and the service was efficient and friendly. Their back patio is extremely warm with great ventilation, so my family felt very safe. On the whole, they took all the Covid precautions very seriously. We will definitely be returning in the near future!

Located in the Park Slope section of Brooklyn, I went for a birthday celebration for my niece. They were very accommodating by opening up an hour early for our large party. Kudos to them for that. The food was ok. I had jerk wings and mac and cheese, while my wife had the seafood roti and my daughter had the fried chicken and rice. They even gave her complimentary ice cream. They have a full bar and pleasant service. Popular spot that fills in quickly, so make sure you're timely.

This restaurant was highly recommended by a friend to have impromptu business convo. This review is from the new location. The decor was lovely, with all the West Indian flags on the wall. They had a DJ that kept the vibe going, but the music was loud. It didn’t allow for any cross-the-table conversation. An older couple came in and lowered the music but didn’t order, and upon them leaving, the music went back to bashment levels. The waiter that served us was pleasant and very attentative. I had a fantastic ginger beer (they need to bottle it). All the food looked amazing!!! We started with the codfish fritters (cakes) with the incredible spicy tamarind sauce. I ordered the jerk chicken with a side of Mac and cheese. My jerk chicken wasn’t hot, but it tasted good and was moist; the coleslaw that came with it on the side was great (I had apprehension about coleslaw as the side that comes with it, but I was pleasantly surprised). I also ordered some sorrel, which was also good. Unfortunately, as I got down to the bone of my chicken, it had a bloody knuckle, and the meat around it also had signs of pink and red. I waved over a waitress (not our original server) and showed her the undercooked areas, and she asked me if I didn’t want it. She took it away after I told her no. I wondered why she thought that was acceptable, especially after pointing it out. My original waiter asked me if I wanted anything else as a rectification, but I declined, and they took it off the bill. I ate the Mac and cheese, which was great. After the fact, we also ordered some bread pudding, which was a 10! It is worth just going there for that. I wanted to love the food, especially after coming with an excellent recommendation from a friend who had been going there since their last location and was even recognized by our initial waiter. I humbly recommend lowering the music so people can have conversations and take cues from the patrons. The music may be prohibitive if you don’t see them engaging that. Regarding the music, offer a concession, even if it is a free drink or dessert. I can’t say I would go there again, but I wouldn’t be surprised if I did. #cheers

Absolutely horrible experience with the meal I had ordered from this restaurant. I work at the hospital down the block and was desperate for a full, refreshing meal after a long shift. I ordered the curry goat with roti meal and what it came out to be was curry BONES and roti. Absolutely NO meat was present, and if so, the meat was buried in fat. For $30, I was entirely ripped off and scammed and served nothing but BONES. If you want to sip on curry juice with a side of fatty bones, this restaurant is for you.
