I had brunch with my sister for our March birthdays. I loved it so much! It was our first time here. The service, ambiance/music and food were all 5 stars. We ate the steak and eggs, banana pancakes, chicken (dark and white meat) & waffles, Mac & cheese and a side of bammy. We also had a carafe of White Sangria. For dessert Coconut rum cake with birthday candle. EVERYTHING was delicious; very well seasoned and beautifully played. We wish our stomachs were bigger to try the rest of the menu. We were so full, the serving size was perfect for the two of us. Our server Lloyd was friendly, he gave us some recommendations off the menu and made sure to answer any questions we had about the menu. We appreciate his hospitality. Darien took amazing professional photos of us and even printed one copy for us each. He was very professional and courteous and made us feel like supermodels. We will be back soon. Thank you for a great birthday experience Krave!

The service was great and the dishes were well seasoned NOT salted down. The portions were more than fair so we took home what we couldn't finish! Cocktails were great..Rum Punch !

I don't normally dine at Caribbean restaurants because many times the food is over priced and mediocre and more importantly I can cook it for my self. But this restaurant was excellent from the drinks which were strong but oh so good to the calamari that was well seasoned , the jerk chicken wings with a hint of spicy . The mashed potatoes that was smooth and fluffy was excellent and the Mac and cheese that tasted like what we are accustomed to at home in the Caribbean. And the oxtail gravy that made me wished I had ordered the oxtails was to die for. If you are in the New Rochelle area check them out on Division Street.

Excellent ambience, amazing food, staff was 5 stars. A pleasant atmosphere and first time experience. Raheem, Caleb, and John made the visit even better. I am going to come back once visiting NY again. The food was the show-stopper, thoroughly flavored. We got the Chicken & Waffles and the Grilled Salmon! Amazing

Best Caribbean food north of the Bronx. The only negative thing to say, the jerk pork was a likkel dry. But the rasta pasta was creamy and had some bite. The oxtail was fall off the bone delicious. The bronzino was seasoned so well....sooo good. Curried tofu was good but I'm a meat eater. The Calamari was fresh and the spicy mayo to dip in paired it well. And the rum punch was so refreshing especially on a long hot summer day in NYC like today. I didn't try the jerk tacos but I did notice not 1 single crumb left. The peppered shrimp was definitely scotch bonnet peppery. For those not used to the spice, you'll feel it. To those who expect the spice, you'll enjoy the heat. Love this place. They now have a to go spot on the corner if you don't want to eat in. The ambiance is good for a date night or bday celebration. Music was cool. Great vibe here. The service was friendly and attentive. Had to tip over the suggested amount. Thank you Krave!!!

I’ve been to Krave a few times now, and the food is always amazing! My favorites are the pepper shrimp, the codfish cakes, and the Rasta pasta (which I didn’t get this time) their oxtail and Mac & cheese is also pretty good. The ambiance and vibe in there is very nice, the decor is beautiful, and the service was warm & friendly! Would highly recommend dining in over take out. I ordered a couple times from UberEats and the food quality is drastically different.

Krave Caribbean Restaurant is an absolute gem! The food is full of rich, authentic flavors — you can tell everything is made with love. I had the Ribeye Steak and it was perfectly seasoned and juicy. The portions are generous, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. The vibe inside is laid-back but stylish, making it a great spot to chill or grab takeout. Definitely one of my new go-to Caribbean spots. Highly recommend! BEST IN NEW ROCHELLE! OH LORD
