We cut scotch bonnet.
Caribbean Citchen is a family kitchen on West McNichols cooking the food we grew up on - slow-braised oxtail, jerk pulled from the grill smoky and right, curry goat that falls off the bone. Every plate gets a real side, real seasoning, and a portion that respects your money. Detroit has been showing us love for years, and we cook every order like it's the only one we're making that day.
-
Slow-cooked, no shortcuts
Oxtail and goat braise for hours until the meat surrenders. That's the only way it should be done.
-
Rice that's not an afterthought
Rice and beans simmered with coconut milk, thyme, and pimento. We season the base before anything else hits the plate.
-
Real island heat
Scotch bonnet, allspice, fresh ginger, and scallion - the real spice cabinet. No imitations.
-
Portions you'll feel
Small or large, you're getting fed. Most folks take half home for tomorrow.

1000/1000! Great portion, flavor of the Oxtail is AMAZING! Rice is full of flavor I never give a review but I had to give a review for this. I will be back! Also Collard Greens was great as will I ate them before I could get a pic.
Food is always good here. It was my first time trying the mixed vegetables, and they were perfect! Curry Chicken arrived hot, falling off the bone, with the right amount of gravy. I always recommend eating here.
My 2nd time ordering from this place and it's just as delicious as before. Last time I got the Jerk Chicken and it was delicious! Decided to try the Curry Chicken and it was just as tasty! Huge portions of chicken and beans & rice! Whoever is the cook, I can tell they put their heart in this food!
