Bonnie Tandy Leblang - BITE OF THE BEST
+3.5
One friend, who always looks for cheap eats, had suggested Freda’s Caribbean & Soul Cuisine, serving Caribbean and Southern fare on Columbus. She had eaten there with her fam before a Solstice concert at the Cathedral of St John the Divine, suggesting “the oxtail and jerk chicken both which came with yummy sides.”
This was seriously some of the best food I've had in NYC! The staff was friendly and great. Beware: the food is VERY spicy. But it's oh-so-good and definitely worth the pain of spice! :) I have absolutely no complaints at all! Will definitely be eating here more often.
Small, easily missed place that has great food. I liked the brown stew chicken best. The staff was friendly and the place felt intimate. I definitely recommend trying it.
Food is awesome ! Best oxtails I have ever eaten! Staff is very friendly also!
What an introduction to Jamaican cooking!. I lost my virginity here - my Jamaican cuisine virginity that is. I had a jerk chicken with collard greens and beans rice. Loved the spiciness and complexity of the food. Wife had the goat curry which she loved. Freda's has wrecked me for other Jamaican places to the point where I am teaching myself how to cook jerk chiken.
Three thumbs up. I had the oxtails with candied yams, collard greens, and rice. Everything was delicious! The oxtails especially. Very tender and flavorful.
Total price (including sweet potato pie for dessert): $12.50.
Great Food/Great Prices. Found my new spot for lunch and Dinner. Incredibly tasty food. Authentic, properly seasoned entrees at affordable prices. Well maintained (clean) restaurant, friendly personal staff, & excellent delivery service. Did I mention excellent tasting dishes? You won't be disappointed!
OUTSTANDING Very Close to Home Cooking!. I tried this place out both for lunch & Dinner…Wow! Outstanding, very close to home cooking! It was so good I had them cater my party everyone loved it. The owners are very personal. The Candy Yams are outstanding!I have tried a lot of caribian places, this is the best one! Ox Tails oh my God!Prices are cheap & the place is very clean, & free Wifi. Nice place to sit down and have lunch or to take a special one one. It's also a Columbia University Public Safety Safe Haven, Red Lion in the window, a place you can go to in the event you were being followed or needed help, They will let you stay in the store & call the Police or CU Public Safety for you.
