Cafe Metro

1st time having Antiguan food. Bernadine is the owner and chef. She was so passionate about cooking you can taste it in her food. Fungee with Salt Fish and Eggplant was so good. I love anything made with corn meal. Grits, Polenta, cornbread 😋 Soon as Ben (our waiter) said made it cornmeal I was sold. :D Brown Stew Chicken with Rice and Peas was delicious as well. The Ginger Beer and Ginger Tea are both strong and delicious. Glad we try this restaurant and can't wait to try something else on the menu.

My wife and I were hankering for some good 'ol Southern Comfort Soul Food but what we found at Cafe Metro wasn't good, it was stupendously delicious!! Oh what a great gem this place is; located in Teaneck's Cedar Lane. Ben was our server, a very nice, amiable and polite young man, definitely a keeper. For beverages my wife got a home-brewed Ginger beer, I opted for hot cup of Ginger Tea (it's cold out). She knew right away that her Ginger beer was original and made fresh! My Ginger tea had pure pieces of Ginger. The drinks hit the right spot. For entree she ordered the Fungi, which is corn meal with mixed Okra, it came with Saltfish & Eggplant. Oh boy! What a treat! Her meal was full of flavor and the Saltfish tasted fresh. I ate Brown Stew Chicken, it came with rice & Peas, sweet plantains, & vegetables. Oh so much flavor, this food was superb!! Kudos to Bernadine, she's a master-chef that one notices that she cooks with love. We have found a new and amazing place to eat some Antiguan food!

ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA 🇦🇬 Eat the World NYC review: A combination of breakfast, burgers, pan-southern and pan-Caribbean cuisine makes up most of the menu here at Cafe Metro to make sure a net is cast wide enough to stay in business. But make a point to come here from Friday to Sunday when some special Antiguan fare is available from the home country of the chef and owner. This ducana with saltfish is a unique flavor combination, but they also have fungi, fish soup, and curry conch.

Tried this new restaurant on a whim, and not disappointed. Ordered the Curry Chicken with a side of the Rasta Pasta. The meat was so flavorful, and cooked just right where it fell off the bone. The vegetable sides were fresh and crisp, and the pasta cooked just right. The cafe is clean and everything seems new, and apart from some wobble in the table, everything looked perfect. The bathroom was spotless. The server, a younger female whose name I unfortunately did not get, was attentive and always smiling. I was the only customer in the cafe when I arrived, which disappointed me, because I hope they get busier — it’s worth it.
