Caribbean Palm

This place is inconspicuous, and truly the best Carribean food we have ever eaten in the Valley.

Drove by recognized the Caribbean restaurant after entering and not being greeted. I had to asked for a menu and quietly mention is Roti on it, she abruptly told me this was a Jamaican restaurant. A menu was handed To me, I ordered jerk chicken as I was waiting for my dish to come out and enjoy a spicy Jamaican dish I was handed a Styrofoam box in a bag and offered a plastic fork to go, it was absolutely the worst experience I’ve ever had at any Caribbean restaurant that only serves Jamaican food. now let’s start with the dish that I had to eat at home two pieces of chicken with spice jerk seasoning and a half box «RICE» I will finish with this if your restaurant says Caribbean don’t only provide Jamaican food … And last but not least why is everything with french fries I mean french fries lol what a joke …

Jerk chicken is super dry and grainy. Rice was great though! Conch fritters were delicious but they skimp the coconut sauce, so ask for extra! To go order was ready 15 minutes past the quoted time. No big deal, one must expect these folks to operate on «island time».

It worked for us since our hotel’s restaurant was closed for a remodel. Authentic and good service.

I was excited when I saw the menu for this Caribbean restaurant. I hadn’t had conch since I was in the Bahamas years and years ago. I also loved that there was ackee and saltfish on the menu as well.
I had the ackee and saltfish strudel and had the curry conch as a main dish. The strudel top layer was crispy, but the successive layers were gummy tasting. The saltfish and ackee itself tasted good though. The ackee had the typical creamy, egg-​like taste juxtaposed against the concentrated flavor of the cod. As for the main dish, I liked the tropical flavor of the curry and it was a generous portion of curry, cabbage, and red beans with rice. However, the conch was overcooked and had a very rubbery tough texture.
Other dishes I tried were a lot better, such as the jerk chicken and meat patty.
Service was good and drinks were refilled as needed. They have an interesting selection of Caribbean sodas including Ting, which is similar to the taste of Squirt.
I didn’t really enjoy my appetizer and main dish too much, but service was good, dishes other people ordered were better and the other options on the menu looked tempting so I’ll give them another try. Overall 3.5 stars.

This place was absolutely delicious. I ordered the veggie patty, fried plantains, and jerk pasta. Everything came out super fresh and amazingly seasoned. Going in I expected everything to be sweet with a tiny bit of spice as most Jamaican places I went to are, but this place is much more than that.
The wait time for the food is a little extensive. I waited about 20 – 30 minutes, but it was absolutely worth it. I couldn’t even identify all the spices in my pasta. They used coconut milk as the base for the sauce and it was delicious. Carribean palm is to carribean food as curry corner is to Indian food. Do not be fooled by the outside. It’s a must try.

This is a nice clean restaurant, in a low key mall. The food was very good, and the lunch menus was very reasonable. Near the Phx zoo and Botanical gardens, it’s a great place for a nice (and spicy) meal. I recommend this restaurant.

Every single time the service and the quality of food is exceptional. I love the meat patties, oxtails, rice and peas, the cabbage, and of course the plantains. The curry goat and the conch is as close to authentic Jamaican as you can get in Arizona!

The food and service was excellent. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants caribbean food in Phoenix. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable.

First time here and I ordered the Ackee Strudel, and the Conch Fritters for an appetizer, and the jerk fish tacos for the main entrée. I’ve never had Jamaican food before so I was surprised at the flavors used, but that’s a good thing! I’ll be back to try out more of the menu for sure.
I also grabbed a Pineapple and Pineapple Ginger soda. Both were really good ! Not much carbonation, but lots of flavor and sugar lol.

This place is a little gem. Was in the area looking for lunch and came across Caribbean Palm on Unilocal.We decided to give it a try.
The menu has a variety of choices, all looked very good and it was hard to decide. We decided on the Jerk Chicken with the vegetables. Yum, it was GOOD. I also want to say a word about the service. The young lady who helped us was so nice.
This was a great experience and I will be going back.

Had Jerk chicken delivered. Arrived quickly. Lots of food for the price. The chicken was great, just spicy enough. The plantains were good (i prefer them a bit riper and sweeter). The carrot rum cake was the perfect finish. Highly recommend checking them out.

Such a hidden gem! The food was tasty and fresh! Had the jerk chicken and pork, salt fish strudel, and the fried plantains! Amazing we were the only people dining there.

Absolutely love the authentic Caribbean food this place cooks up in the middle of the desert! The spices and amazing sauces they use are to die for. I also LOVE that I can get such great quality food DELIVERED to my house!!!

I’m a normal girl with an adventurous palate. I ordered delivery of curried goat, geen beans with bacon, beef patty, saltfish and akee pastry, plantains, and coconut rum cake. Yes, a lot of food, but a good selection to save for leftovers! The Curry Goat is delicious, bone in though, so slows down a very hungry person. The beef patty is good, the saltfish and akee was also good! The real star of the show was the coconut rum cake. To-​die-​for! Moist and perfect and simple!

My husband and I were pleasantly surprised by our lunch this afternoon! We had cut through the papago plaza and the lunch special sign caught our eye, so we gave it a shot. There was a cooking class in the main dining area when we arrived, so the place smelled great! We ordered the fritters for a starter which were delicious with the curry sauce. We decided to share the jerk chicken and curry chicken. The jerk chicken was very flavorful and spicy. Chicken curry was equally delicious and flavorful with the veggies. Both plates came with a sizeable portion of rice and beans. I literally left nothing on my plate and can’t wait to try more items on the menu!

We arrived at 1:50 pm today and waited until 2:15 p.m. to eat at this recommend Carribean hotspot. Hours on Unilocal,their menu and the door states Sunday hours 2:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. No one was there, no lights and no note on the door. We were highly disappointed. We left to eat elsewhere.
I recommend for future you open your establishment on time or leave a note for patrons.
We’ve had take out from here and it’s good. We’ll come back, but will call first to make sure your open.

Authentic jammacian!
The owner and chef and all the staff give true island hospitality. I will be bringing all my friends and family here. Order the Salt fish conch fritters, beef patty, cocobread, Akee… and don’t forget your Rum drinks, not to mention dessert

Do you know what «Festivals» is & ain’t Jamaican?! The lunch special being advertised outside caught my attention so I stopped by. I asked the no personality lady in the bar area what was Festival & she said, «just festivals like a brand». I said whatever, Ill try it. Festivals is a form of bread! I didn’t know that! She told me they only been at this location for 4 months & her personality could careless to have more customers than myself come back because she lacked personality & anytime someone asks about a menu item you would think you would want to explain! The jerk was OK but I have def have had better & the festivals were good too but everyone know some customer service won’t bring customers back & I aint going back.

Me and my wife have ate there several times. We recently moved here from Toronto, Canada, and we have a big Caribbean community back home. Caribbean Palm is hands down the best Caribbean food in the valley, next to grandmas house. I have tried almost everything on their menu. I recommend their Curry Chicken dinner, it is phenomenal. They also have the best beef, and chicken patties. That’s enough about the food now let’s move on to the service. They are by far the friendliest people I have ever met in the industry, They do have thick Caribbean accents but that’s to be expected if you want the real deal. Would defiantly recommend for everyone to stop by at least once and explore something new.
