Wish we took more pictures but we ate that food too fast. We just found out about this place but we will be returning often. It’s pretty hidden- inside of the Celtic Center on New Karner Road but you’ll be happy to find it. The Jamaican food is authentic… especially the rice and peas and sweet plantain- whew *chef’s kiss*. Garlic shrimp was tasty the brown stew chicken was so good. My husband had the oxtail and loved it. The owners were so very nice and welcoming.

I have never ever had shrimp so flavourful in my life. They are simmered in oil impregnated with garlic and herbs, and they are AMAZING! The chicken jerk is delicious; moist and well seasoned. My favourite were the tostones. The rice & beans are very good, infused with coconut milk (I think). Last, but not least, my child loved the mac & cheese. The ox tails are out of this world, but I will not be reviewing them because my husband wants the opportunity to do so. (Shhhhh… Between you and me, they are the absolute best!)

Food was ok. I had the garlic shrimp with cabbage & peas & rice. Wasn’t a fan of the cabbage. Rice was so so. We also tried the Oxtail dinner & chicken rasta pasta.

Their food is sooooooo good! We also ordered beef patty but forgot to take a pic. Everything was tasty. The owner was very friendly and so was Mr. Bombastic. 🙂

Yummmmm! The food is out of this world. Authentic and flavorful. Large portions and good variety. The gentleman who works behind the counter can be a bit abrupt. But it was busy and we eventually got our food.

Recently found out about this hidden restaurant. It is a little strange set up as it is a counter-serve place inside a Bingo hall. But for take-out it doesn’t matter. The owner is from Jamaica and the food is as authentic as it gets. The food was excellent, both jerk chicken and curry chicken was so soft, the meat just fell off the bone. Plantains and rice with beans are also very good. Portions are very generous. The rasta-pasta was a bit of a surprise. We were warned that it is spicy and the pasta looked black, but man, was it hot! Overall a very good experience, will definitely be going here more often.

Our family was in town for AAU regional track meet. In search for a meal we stumbled upon Bespoke. When I tell you the food is amazing it is AMAZING! So much so we came back 2 days in a row. The oxtails, brown stew chicken and snapper, rasta pasta was everything we needed and more. The owners were so welcoming and accommodating will definitely return made us feel like home. PS… very hidden just go inside the hall they are there!

I live in upstate New York in Saratoga County and I must say it’s very very far and in between that we have any choices of Caribbean, Spanish, Dominican or Jamaican food restaurants in our area that we can eat from. I drove 45 minutes one way to # 450 New Karner Road and route. 155 in Albany New York to this Caribbean Restaurant to pick up my dinner order of Brown Stewed Chicken , Rice and Peas, side orders of Homemade macaroni & cheese and a n order of mozzarella sticks ( 5 cheese sticks with marinara sauce for $ 5.00 ) . My total cost for all $ 25.00 ( Very Reasonable Value ) I ate cheese sticks on the drive home. My dinner was very tasty and delicious. I got 2 meals off of rice and peas with plantains. The chicken very tasty. The gravy for my brown stewed chicken was a thin gravy. I must say my first time having a thin gravy over my rice and peas. I prefer a thick gravy from fresh tomatoes that used for the sauce with fresh vegetables. I definitely recommend this restaurant to eat at. There’s lots of love that goes into all of Mrs. Africa dishes. She’s very talented with her food dishes. Their Very tasty! I will eat here again.
