Michael TchouJune 1, 2015One of the most under rated restaurants in Palo Alto. Great Caribbean food, fun cocktails. Always have had a great time here! Curried goat is awesome. Coconut shrimp too!
Kevin D.March 14, 2015If you're looking for a fun place to grab some fresh new food with friends, this spot won't disappoint. Make sure to ask what the drink of week is. Nice wide selection of rum here too!
Stephanie GeJanuary 24, 2017The ox-tail is unbelievably tender, but my favorite dish is the ribs and cornbread.
Reggie LeonardJune 19, 2018The homemade ginger beer is delicious. Everything is as authentic as I hoped it would be. Highly recommended for those who want the real deal, from ox tail to curry goat.
Michel Alexandre SalimJanuary 15, 2016Excellent curried goat! The ginger mojito was too gingery to the point or bitterness, but the waiter kindly got it removed from the bill without being asked.
Bikash MishraJuly 23, 2017Great Caribbean food. The patties are delicious, the chicken wings pack a punch, and the curry goat is flavorful and comes with a well cooked side of plantains.
The oxtail is amazing! Jerk salmon, sea bass, corn festivals, and mango colada (without wipe cream) are very delicious too!
Venkatesh HodavdekarAugust 20, 2014This place had good drinks. I love the jerk chicken. Make sure you make reservations if you have a big party.
SugandhaMay 5, 2014Their goat curry & Caribbean jerk platters are just too good. Must order. Ambience is good too. The staffs are friendly as well. Overall a good experience.
Helen ZhangJune 10, 2016I think it's one of the underrated secrets of downtown Palo Alto. Huge amounts of food and flavor for very reasonable prices
I'm all about the beef patties, the goat curry, oxtail, and jerked chicken. The food is great. Don't be in a hurry.
Jean LApril 1, 2015Jerk chicken was grwat. Perfect seasoning. Good rice. The pricing of the chicken was a little high. Busy on friday nights
- Sangria WMarch 21, 2014I'll definitely come back here for another meal. The braised oxtail was so good along with the white sangria. Yum!
Eszter TomposDecember 17, 2011Jerked chicken. Goat curry. Yumm. This is the restaurant I am capable of talking about for hours on end. Simply amazing food, down to earth atmosphere.
Nadia MelnicovaAugust 25, 2013Goat curry is really yummy, delicious and very similar to lamb !!! Jerk chicken was dry ...(((
Renée VargasApril 2, 2014Huge entree orders! My suggestion, get a cocktail and split a bunch of appetizers with your friends!
Christine LeeMarch 21, 2012Key lime pie is yummy. Did not like the pecan chocolate pie at all (it comes with orange syrup drizzled all over it, which is not yummy and not mentioned on the menu)
ducked into Coconuts Caribbean Restaurant (Romona across from City Hall) to get-out of the rain only to be blown away by their jerk salmon w fried plantains. definitely coming back..rain or not.- Jennifer RMarch 3, 2013Everything is always amazing! The Jerk Chicken, Oxtail, and Jerk Salmon are my favorites.
Ox tail is the best!! Like a soft, yummy beef stew.
Lea VerouNovember 23, 2012Amazing coconut cream based cocktails. Also, the shrimp curry with the fried plantains is unbelievable.
Colin PoindexterJanuary 5, 2013Jerk chicken is the bomb!! Pro tip: get dark meat (it's a lot better) and a rice platter with double chicken for double the goodness
- Lena KiddSeptember 2, 2014Fried plantains are awesome! Also recommend jerk chicken and sweet potato fries.
Kev HMay 25, 2013Goat curry was tender and delightful. My kid loved the spaghetti. Super friendly staff
Karthik GoudJanuary 10, 2014The lunch was perfect with well done Jamaican meat specially the jerk chicken
Anna JamesApril 5, 2015Braised ox tail is a win; curried goat is better at Back-a-yard Caribbean grill.
I really love the Cobb salad. It's got a great Caribbean flair.
want to know the best drick concoction known to man? Coconuts has it.... ummm, four words: pitcher. of. rum. punch
Roxanne TruesdellJuly 18, 2013The jerk chicken was delicious but has a kick so if you don't like spicy, not for you
So good it makes me want to cry. I just high-fived my wife. Best jerk chicken in the Bay Area.
Sweet potato pudding hits the spot. Get it even when you think you're full
