This is a small, clean cafe’ type Jamaican restaurant with a few bistro tables for two and various food choices on the menu. The food I ordered tasted authentic, fresh, flavorful and delicious, although there is an overabundance (80% of the plate) of rice & peas with each meal. Be aware, that placing a larger dish order, will just get you MORE rice and I noticed that EVERY size order gets EXACTLY the same small amount of protein and vegetables. I wanted to try one of the dessert choices on the menu, but the serious-looking gentleman at the counter said that they ONLY SELL DESSERT around Christmas time.
I went to Star’s pressure pot restaurant to n Newark , nj it’s authentic Jamaican cuisine. The hospitality was great , and the prices fair. I ordered two chicken soups, and a large oxtail. They did not get skimpy on the portions which I loved. The food was really good ,and flavorful. The inside of the restaurant is very colorful with lime green walls, bob Marley portraits , and other decor. Giving it a very exciting, and inviting atmosphere. The guy at the counter was super patient and pleasant. I give it five stars for the overall experience, and for the taste and authenticity of the food. If anyone is in Newark and enjoys food that isn’t bland visit this gem.
