Gloria's

The Best Caribbean Food In Brooklyn’s Little Caribbean - New York - The Infatuation

"Located on Nostrand just north of Empire, Gloria’s is another third-generation, family-operated business named after the family’s matriarch Gloria Wilson. My go-to is the curry goat buss up shut (paratha roti) with pumpkin, potato, and plenty of pepper. I’d recommend pairing this with a mauby (a bittersweet Caribbean beverage made from bark & anise) or a red Solo (kola champagne). Another favorite is oxtail with rice & peas and plantain. A cultural entrepreneur born in NYC and raised between Brooklyn & the Caribbean, Shelley Worrell created I AM CARIBBEING, spearheaded the designation and development of Little Caribbean, and is the head of Caribbean Partnerships for the US Department of Commerce. Worrell has produced 400+ immersive experiences in partnership with top corporations and cultural institutions including James Beard Foundation, Google Arts & Culture, Studio Museum in Harlem, Vox Media and others.
