Incredible food. Spices are well balanced with sweet for a great tasting experience. I got the jerk wrap and mac n cheese and both were hundo p. Coming back again!
There veggie patties are supper good and there beyond meat plate is absolutely delicious
The food was so good we ordered more to go! Multiple great vegan options
Oh... My... Goodness... This place here is a winner! We wanted Jamaican/Caribbean food, with vegan options. Karuba's did not disappoint! We ordered brown stew chicken, jerk chicken wings, ackee and saltfish, veggies and rice and peas. EVERYTHING was on point. The rice and peas were just dry enough, but not too dry. The veggies (cabbage, carrots and peppers) were seasoned just enough. The ackee and saltfish, for my first time? Amazing! I will definitely be ordering this again and I want to try ackee with just veggies, too. The jerk wings were just right, sauced perfectly. When you order the brown stew chicken a la carte, it is a bowl full of chicken and the stew sauce, not just sauce. A great amount to smother rice with and still have sauce to sop up with the chicken. I also ordered the vegan spinach patty. I was skeptical on the flavor, because it was just spinach, but I wanted to try something new! Surprisingly, the patty was great! The spinach was seasoned and cooked well. It was not too stringy.The beautiful young queen at the register was very polite, but seemed shy. She was attentive to everything and made sure we were taken care of.The prices are pretty affordable, average of $10-20. The brown stew chicken was only $6, I believe. The patty was $3, ackee and saltfish $17.Overall, give this place some love! Yes, it is in the 'hood, but mind your business, don't be Karen or Ken, and you'll enjoy some of the best food in L.A.!
10/10 Great people here!I had the oxtail and it was exceptional, looking forward to next time!
Food, service, and atmosphere was great.
This is a review of the jerk platter. Though the rice n peas and veggies/plantain were delicious, the chicken lacked flavor.
Door dash canceled order so I had to pick up the food ordered large oxtail dinner rice peas cabbage side of oxtails jerk chicken wings. Everyone was very nice however the food lacks flavor. I spent $50.00 bucks I guess I'm just used to spicier food. Probably won't go back.
This was my second time eating Karuba's Jamaican Food and my first time Dining In. I had the Oxtail Plate (small) with Plantains, Cabbage and a Pineapple Soda. The Oxtail pieces were LARGE! I was so impressed, I personally had to speak to Karuba (The Owner) and THANKED him. I told him that they were the Largest Oxtails pieces I have had in 6 years!
If ever in the area please go and visit. The food was amazing. The chef even came out to great us. Great food. Great service.
