Irie Diner Caribbean Restaurant

My first time here was nothing less of amazing! I can’t wait to come back with everyone I know! The owner Peter was attentive, kind, confident in his menu, and welcoming. The staff Trinity and Soul were touching, patient, kind and beautiful! I can’t wait to visit again I felt like family and it was close to home. The vibe was real and the restaurant was so clean. For Drinks: I ordered the Cool Runnings and the Sense a Mania. For Food: Meal #1 I had the jerk shrimp with macaroni pie and cabbage. Meal #2 I had Brown Stew Chicken, Rice and Plantains and BOTH meals were UNDENIABLE. For Dessert: I had the Coconut Vanilla Cake and when I say DELICIOUS! I’m so happy with todays visit. It was the completion to a perfect day! Thank you Irie Diner!!! Not Pictured: Drinks and Meal #2**

I went to Irie's on Sunday for first time and got the brown stew chicken, cabbage, two jerk chicken patties, soursop juice, hibiscus tea. I got home to eat my food, I was soo pleased because the food was delicious and tasteful! It was so good, I went back today to get jerk chicken patties, but they were out. So I purchase this spinach patties, and a small portion of cabbage, curry chicken, and caribbean punch. The hostess and server were pleasant both times I came! Highly recommended!

I had the jerk pork, red beans and rice and cabbage. The sides were excellent but was disappointed in the pork. I lived in the Caribbean for years and was hoping for similar quality. It was just ok but not authentic. Pork is cheap. Beans,rice and cabbage are dirt cheap. For $16 the meal should come with more than five small pieces of meat.

I was referred to this place by a local, and she (Ms. Blossom, who works at the Navy Gateway Hotel, was right. The place was empty, and I chose to dine in. Not another soul in there, so I was happy. The music was good and the food was even better. I absolutely loved the curry tofu gravy. As a pescatarian, sometimes,it can be hard. The coconut shrimp was AMAZING...the fries (both sweet potato and crinkle) were perfectly seasoned. Literally, mouthwatering. I loved this place, I really did. * The curry gravy (tofu) was so good, I brought the remainder home...in a water bottle, wrapped in a small hand towel, in a plastic bag from the hotel, and into my checked luggage. I was flying out two days later.* Yes, that good.

This place is 5 stars across the board! My husband and I were on a "date night" and wanted to try a new restaurant. We were NOT disappointed! Our server was very attentive; his timing was perfect throughout all phases of our meal. The gentleman (whose name I did not catch, unfortunately) was making rounds through the dining area, making sure guests were content. He gave us each a sample of Sorrel drink; it was AMAZING, and now I'm obsessed! I never would have tried it had he not recommended it! We foolishly asked for salt and pepper before we tried our food; the entrees we ordered needed neither. I highly recommend the oxtails! The atmosphere was so welcoming and laid back. It was such a great experience, and we will DEFINITELY be back with friends/family.

Impressed by this restaurant. Never been to a Caribbean restaurant that had adequate dining with alcoholic beverages available. There is a take out window in the front of the restaurant with a heater. No need to go inside for pick ups. The food was delicious. I had the curried Tofu which was absolutely amazing. The taste was like no other. The roti was nice and flakey as it should. Great presentation. Desert was super. Nice size banana bread with vanilla ice cream. Had the pleasure of speaking with the owner. He is a real comedian. He is from Trinidad. The chef is from Jamaica. So plenty of culture embedded in this location. I would highly recommend. They do have TVs and music playing in the background to seal the experience.

I was craving some Guyanese food today when I remembered that my good friend owns a restaurant called Irie Diner at 1177 Park Ave, which serves Guyanese curry goat and Jamaican cuisine. I decided to order the Guyanese curry goat, along with some callaloo and plantains. Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! I also noticed the Guinness punch and decided to give it a try. It was fantastic! I think I’ve found a new favorite. #iriediner

My wife and I had a great dinner here. The jerk shrimp was excellent along with the sweet plantains. A real highlight of the meal was a coconut cake dessert. Excellent. Highly recommended.

First time customer. Everything was delicious and fresh. The restaurant is clean and has a nice decor. The owner was so friendly. You won't be disappointed because everything is amazing!!!! We will be back. Thank you!

My first trying and I will definitely be back! I placed an online order (oxtails, coconut rice and cabbage). It was fresh, flavorful and the portion was great! And I can't forget about the customer service 10/10! He was polite and showed me my food before I left! I highly recommend.
