14 Parish Caribbean Kitchen

I discovered this restaurant through UberEats, and although it's a bit far from my location, I had a craving for jerk chicken, which they make expertly. The portion sizes are quite generous, though the lunch specials are slightly smaller but include a soda. I’m a big fan of their jerk chicken; I always order a large, and it’s enough for two meals. Their patties are consistently delicious, but I often receive the wrong ones. Despite this, they're usually to my taste, so I don't mind too much—except when they forget to include them altogether. Initially, I suspected my Uber driver might be taking them since the bags aren’t sealed, but it has happened too frequently with various drivers for me to still think that's the case. The restaurant definitely needs to improve in this area!

The beef stew is fantastic, packed with authentic African flavors and a touch of Jamaican flair. It has the perfect amount of spice. The food is excellent and offers incredible value. It's takeout only, but they accept Apple Pay, which is convenient.

This is the best Jamaican food in Bergen County! The young lady who takes the orders is exceptional—she offers great customer service, and when I encountered an issue with my order, she went out of her way to make sure I was satisfied before I left. The owner is wonderful as well—always courteous and friendly. You really can't make a bad choice from the menu; everything is delicious!

I was craving Jamaican food and had this restaurant on my list to try. I ordered my meal online, specifically the red snapper and king fish. However, a few minutes later, they called to inform me that both were unavailable. Disappointed, I opted for the sweet chili salmon and whiting instead. When I arrived, I found parking on a nearby street and walked in. The staff was friendly; after I provided my name, a lovely young lady quickly handed me my order. Once home, I couldn't wait to dig in, and I was pleased to discover that the food was delicious. The salmon was quite satisfying, and the sweet chili sauce was delightful. I also enjoyed the whiting. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely return.

I was pleasantly surprised at how quickly I was seated, despite the bustling crowd. The Caribbean music in the background adds a nice touch—it's a perfect venue for meeting someone new or enjoying a romantic date. As for dress code, nice casual attire is appropriate, while dressier outfits work well in the evenings. The restaurant has a refined ambiance that caters to a diverse age range, from 24 to 60. Located in Hyde Park, it's easily accessible, and they have nights when the bar stays open late. Many places in the area tend to close early, which limits your options for mixed drinks past 11 PM. Whether it's a weeknight or daytime, this place is consistently a great choice.
