Limin’s Cafe Caribe

I was craving Caribbean/Jamaican food. First of all they charge $26 per plate. I had ordered 2 plates of oxtail, rice and cabbage, cabbage was so white!! I expected to be getting really good food for that price. The food was so oily, the oil was just floating under the rice as I pushed the rice to the side on my plate. The meat and rice were burnt and also so sweet with no flavor!!!!I have never had sweet oxtail. HIGHLY disappointing for the price I paid I could’ve gone to a proper restaurant for that price!!!!

The food was pretty decent. I only say that because I hadn’t tried a lot of things there. My main issue I have with them is customer service. The attitude these girls give makes me not want to come back anymore. Every time I call to place my order or pick up the food there is always a lot of negativity, which I expect at this point. Looking around for better Caribbean spots. It’s not worth your money for the attitude they give.

I had the doubles from this place today.. it's the worst doubles I've ever eaten..the bara is thick and dry, and the channa is white.. Anything with salt will taste good but come on, use some seasoning. Aloo pie nah ready yet.. I remember this place used to be good back in the day .what happened ? I'm never going back.

The atmosphere was great! Good tunes, good vibes! The workers were very nice, and helpful! Also, the FOOD was fire!!! I would definitely re commend this place for anyone who wants to try out Trinidadian cuisine!

My 1st time here. The staff was cool and very nice. The dhal was really good. Doubles were tasty though spicy isn't spicy. There were a few things I tried to order that were out ok. This is my fault, I wanted veggie roti so bad I settled even though most ingredients were out. Wrong thing to do. I did not like it at all. I requested to have chickpeas and okra bc it was the only I would eat available. It lacked flavor and unless you are an okra lover, that was a hard no; don't do it. Chickpeas no real flavor and even the roti skin I was disappointed. I'm not here to discourage but it's not for me. I would go back for the dhal hands down. That was really good. To all my non-meat eaters.

The fresh drink selection is something unique and original. The food choices are what you'd expect and delicious, although really light on the spice and seasoning. Everything is pretty pricey for the portion size you get though. And there's multiple times now where I've been given the wrong food in my pickup order. With that being said though, I still recommend this place. The people are nice, the food and drinks are good.

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!!!

The other day I got, Limin’s Cafe Caribe, for dinner. I ordered the Oxtail Dinner w/ Rice & Peas, and Cabbage. The dinner was fairly middling to say the least. The Oxtails bordered on the fatty side, and was not very tender, while also having little flavor. The cabbage had a nice crunch to it, but very bland. Could’ve been cooked just a little longer. But the cabbage was very refreshing, almost salad like. The Rice & Peas were oily (prob due to the Oxtail Gravy), but it was really aromatic and had a nice texture to it. The people who take the orders are extremely nice and attentive, great customer service! The ambience of, Limin’s, is welcoming and has a home-y vibe to it. I love, Limin’s, have been going here for years. Their Stew Chicken is phenomenal! But for my first time trying their Oxtail Dinner, it was a fairly disappointing experience, especially given their other awesome menu items. Even with the Oxtails not living up to, Limin’s, regular expectations, I ranked them a little higher because the quality of the Oxtail was exceptional and their customer service is amazing. As you can see from the photos, they give nice big pieces, I just wish it had more flavor and was just a little more tender. All in all, Limin’s, is a great place to eat, and I will keep going back. Was just a little disappointed in the Oxtail Dinner. If anyone is in the, East Orange area, and looking for some good Caribbean food, def check out, Limin’s Cafe Caribe!
