Tha Cafe

Taniya K. Pontrelli

I had the rum punch while I waited for my food to take home. I love the ambiance, the service, the drink and food were delicious. I am looking forward to returning for a ladies night🎯

Food was on point! Service was great too! Definitely will return! I had the stew chicken with peas & rice.

One night out on my recent trip to NY and my buddy recommended that we have out here. Nice mature people restaurant and club. They had vegetation options that were good and the food was really good. The music level and selection was also really good. The friendliness and prompt service from the waitress was on point. I would certainly hang back out here the next time I am in town.

5 Stars-Tha Café Tha Café is a whole vibe. The moment you walk in, it just feels good—comfortable, stylish, and full of positive energy. Whether you’re coming to chill, eat, or catch a vibe, this place sets the tone right every time. It’s got that real West Indian flavor, both in the food and the atmosphere. The owner is cool and welcoming, makes you feel like you're part of the fam. The bartenders are fast, friendly, and on point—no long waits, no bad attitudes, just good people doing what they do best. And the food? Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Seasoned to perfection, fresh, and full of flavor. You can tell it’s made with love. This ain’t no basic menu—every bite delivers. It’s that kind of food you think about the next day. Tuesdays between 4 PM and 2 AM—that’s when the spot really comes alive. Good music, good people, good energy. And weekends? Always lit. If you know, you know. Tha Café is definitely a go-to. Comfortable, attractive, welcoming… everything a great restaurant/lounge should be. If you’re in the area and haven’t pulled up yet, you’re missing out. QGTM Julian 226st

Superb ownership. I’ve been to their previous establishments and they always set the bar for class and style with a West Indian spin. Sundays are your day to experience a live band and singer performing great Caribbean classic songs. The food is awesome literally everything is a great choice. Why do all Jamaican restaurants have feisty workers? Why? 😆 The servers of your food are all beautiful young ladies but act like they are annoyed to be of service. I must admit it’s not all of them but the few do suffer for the many. Otherwise this is your place for a sexy date night, grabbing a couple drinks with friends or to get a great meal to stay or go.

We love the food , service, and atmosphere! Will be making it one of our go to places!!

Place nice and clean. Drinks are always good. Chef big up ur self. Every food nice, neverrrrr find a fault yet. Wish I could take u home with me to cook lol

I recommended this place to anyone and big up the chef

I used to work in restaurants, so I tend to notice the little things—the timing, the attention to detail, how the team communicates. This place runs like a dream. Every single staff member we encountered was professional, warm, and clearly well-trained. Water glasses were refilled before we noticed they were empty. Plates were cleared seamlessly. Our server described the specials with actual knowledge and enthusiasm, not just reciting from memory. It's the kind of polished, effortless service that makes you feel truly taken care of without ever feeling hovered over.

Went there for the first time last week and was pleasantly surprised. The food was EXCELLENT and the creative twist of the cocktails are beyond tasty and are NOT watered down. I will definitely be going back and frequently

I went there on several sessions after work. The waitress who served us was super nice and friendly. The drinks were so good. She had me try the pineapple ginger drink! Yummy. My date enjoyed the food and drinks. Will definitely return. Older respectable crowd. Nice ambiance. The music wasn’t too loud either. You can dance or just chill. Btw there’s parking on the streets nearby.

The ambiance was great, very entertaining, service excellent, the food preparation didn't take too long. However I didn't really enjoy my meal, I ordered brown stew fish with bammy, bammy was a bit too saggy, didn't really like the taste either. The steam fish was great. Other meals was ok. Overall I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and I will visit again. The waitress was warm and friendly as well.

Birthday dinner. Jerk wings, codfish fritters and oxtail/ stew Rasta pasta was good. Drinks were delicious.

As a health department deputy for NYC, I want to share my thoughts on our recent experience celebrating a family member's birthday. We requested a neutral dinner option for a child, but the white rice was a bit too spicy for their taste. We ended up remaking the meal to make it more suitable, which I'm sure the staff would have been happy to assist with if it had been brought to their attention. Additionally, there was a small oversight with the drinks; the waitress charged for an extra additive to the Hennessey, which we didn't taste the extra shot in the drink, which we hadn’t expected plus the sweetness in the drink. Overall, the atmosphere of the restaurant was enjoyable, and I appreciate the efforts of the staff. Thank you for a memorable evening!

The Owner Sherman and his Daughter have disgusting attitudes. Hilary the Manager is a sweet heart and the only redeeming factor in that while establishment, She needs to run the place cause the current owner has no business sense what so ever and his daughter is nothing more than a clout chaser who is extremely rude and even more unprofessional.

Ordered via Uber, no update on app bc restaurant sends their own driver. Over an hour passed, so I called. Heard something about the system rebooting. Person on the phone seemed confused, then they said the driver arrived to deliver the food, 40 mins later, nothing. Had to cancel and just went to bed hungry. Smh. Won't attempt to order from here again

🇯🇲 Nice spot close to home. The ambiance was really. My biggest issue was the staff, mainly THE BAR STAFF! I watched them be so rude to customers. It was so bad i wanted to leave just watching it happen. I would come back for the food and ambiance BUT not until i know that bar staff is gone(especially the petite girl, only because she was the worst). P. S. Please dont just change their title and hide them in the kitchen because that negative energy would not be good. Maybe she can do outside sanitation? P. P. S. Please post a sign outside letting us know shes gone. Thx

Horrible experience! Sat at the bar ,after waiting 10 minutes I wave my hand to get some service..one miserable short, slim brown complexion woman looks at me turns her head and tells another woman something not sure, this woman approach us and stated this area is reserved as she puts the reserve signs down..she tells us to go on the other side of the bar that had the same amount of seating? She then walks away , leaving us w ms miserable, while we wait for some acknowledgement. After a few minutes she turns away gets a bottle of champagne and attempts to open it in front of us ,not sure what that was about , because facing a customers to pop a bottle. So we left!! So very disappointing looks like this place had great potential. We were just there to check it out , wanted to have a birthday get together. To the owner you could be great if you check your staff..you will lose money!!!! Oh I did not want to leave any stars. Had to in order to post!
