Caribbean Paradise - Sharpes

We have been looking for an authentic Caribbean restaurant. Oxtail, Rice Peas, Curry Shrimp, Cabbage, Yellow Rice and Macaroni was superb and seasoned proper!

It was a no for me. Re: Curry Shrimp w/ White Rice. This is not my first time ordering this, so I was disappointed. They were tough and rubbery. The shrimp were jumbo shrimp (5) which I don 't remember them being that size before. Also, the shrimp had absolutely NO TASTE, whatsoever. The only thing with curry seasoning, was the rice and cabbage. The shrimp is the main part of the dish, so essentially, that threw the whole meal off. I took it back obviously...and according to the worker the shrimp are pre-cooked shrimp. Please don 't sacrifice the authenticity or preparation of your food because customers are paying hard earned money. Also, you can clearly tell, if you 've been given leftovers(rice/cabbage). However, the customer service was good.

1st time there and I had the oxtail the curry chicken just before closing. The oxtail was fine, but the curry chicken was spoiled and tasted rancid. I called the next day and was offered a replacement. Not a good 1st impression. Don’t believe I was the only one either from what I witnessed. Overall the replacement was good as well as the oxtails, but getting spoiled food that could make someone sick is a dealbreaker.

We ordered the curry shrimp plate with cabbage and rice. Also, the jerk chicken with double cabbage with rice. It was so good. We only had one Jamaica restaurant go to, but now we have another. The chicken was so juicy, and the cabbage had so much flavor. I couldn't stop eating it, lol. We ordered the cornbread, which was very different (especially for a southerner). It was a little too sweet for my liking. The flavor had a bit of cinnamon in it.

Very disappointed with my order of Curry Chicken. They used Kidney beans for the peas rice ?‍? The plantains were pure trash, the cabbage was over cooked. Bottle of Ginger Beer $4.50 ? This was my first visit and is my last.
