Imani Caribbean And American - Brooklyn

Went there on a Sunday evening. We waited a while for a table but it was worth the wait! The food was AMAZING!! The dishes were creative and very flavorful. I had the curry shrimp. Easily one of the best meals I've ever had!! The rum punch was awesome too!! My wife and I both enjoyed our meals. Our server Jonathan was on point...great suggestions. We will definitely be back and we highly recommend this restaurant! ????????

This place is ok. It does have history being a staple in Brooklyn. They require mask upon entry. They didn?t ask me to show proof of vaccination. I came here just for a quick lunch wasn?t 100% happy. But my dining experience was good. They were limited with tea options. And their tea bags are not the best quality. Plus my Jerk Chicken Over my greens was a bit salty. I didn?t like how the table has visible scuff marks on many. My waiter was occupied at the bar. Ihad to call other staff to call him many times. Sorry to be a stickler but I wouldn?t come back : Otherwise the food was good.

My husband I made an impromptu decision to take a couple of friends that were visiting from out of town. All persons must be present before you are seated. This helps in keeping the tables more available. The food was excellent, and the service was superb. We sat upstairs, which was very comfortable for the 4 of us. The atmosphere was great with reggae music in the background... loud enough to enjoy but low enough to have a conversation. The waiter was very knowledgeable about each dish on the menu.

I have to say, my experience at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend it - go, go, go, and go again! The food was fantastic. The Upstream Scotty salmon with plantain and jasmine rice was cooked perfectly; I wanted more after finishing it. The oxtail dish was incredibly delicious, and the mac and cheese was mouth-watering. The ambiance of the restaurant was great, although it was a bit chilly when we visited during dinner time. I suggest ordering some sides to complement your meal. I ended up feeling very full and content afterwards. The location is walking distance from the Barclays Center, so you can easily do some sightseeing before or after dining here. The service was good, but the food alone is what will keep me coming back. Thank you to the staff for providing such a wonderful experience.

The brunch at this restaurant is fantastic, especially the jerk bakes which I highly recommend. However, be prepared for a wait for your food regardless of how busy or empty the restaurant may be.
