Food was great but the customer service is absolutely terrible I don’t know if the lady who served me had a bad day or what, but it’s offensive and the reason why I only gave 2 stars. Food 5 stars. Service 1 star.
Wonderful establishment, reminds of the Caribbean restaurants I dine at when in Miami. Cowfoot on Fridays, Ox Tails, Cirry Goat and jerk. I'm in heaven with choices like this
I have been to Sylvia's many times and I must say, without a doubt, that Sylvia's Jamaican restaurant is the best place to get jamaican food in the (845) area.Authenticity 5-starQuality 5-starTaste 5-starService 5-StarStaff 5-starI have nothing terrible to say about this wonderful establishment. The staff is sincere and respectful. The quality and taste of food is better than any competing West Indian/Jamaican restaurants in the near-by vicinity. As a Jamaican myself, I really appreciate how they focus on the Authenticity of the taste of the food and not try to cater too much to an American audience by changing the recipe. They're formula has proven that authentic Jamaican can be succesful. I will continue to be a strong supporter of this restaurant and I strongly advise anyone looking for REAL Jamaican cuisine, to stop by(or call ahead) and try their food. You will not be disappointed
My first time there got there about A half hour before closing so they said they were out of a lot of food. I had to get the red snapper. I'm glad I did it was good. Along with cabbage which was not seasoned enough but edible
Fantastic people and amazing food at a great price! Not sure what else anyone could ask for. If you are in Poughkeepsie and looking for a meal with a kick then come here for sure!
Being new to the town of poughkeepsie it was our pleasure to see a jamaican restaurant open at 8am on Saturday. Not only that... the food was amazing and we will be going back for more!!!
West Indies has delicious food at great prices. They have a large variety of dishes. You can't go wrong here. Highly recommended.
Customer service was very nice. The prices were ok. I haven't had good caribbean food in a long time so I was excited about finding this restaurant. I was very disappointed with the food. I had goat soup and oxtails rice and peas. The goat soup was ok. It lacked goat meat and was more dumplings but the soup was very well seasoned. The oxtails rice and peas not very good. The rice was hard and it didn't have to authentic coconut milk seasoned taste. It had a burnt rice smell and taste. The oxtails were soft but not tasty. I will be going to Golden Krust or another restaurant further down main street next time.
Had the Oxtail yesterday. The food doesn’t really have any taste. Just spicy.
The people there are awesome! The food was absolutely amazing! The prices were great. Very generous portions. Food was very fresh and was ready quickly. This will definitely be my new favorite spot!
