It’s pretty pricey but it’s worth it.
I do recommend their jerk rasta pasta! It’s flavorful and delicious. It’s filling as well but it will still taste good the next day!
If you love spicy hot sauce, I also recommend their habanero dipping sauce.

Walked in and was greeted by the sweetest person on the planet who also asked what we liked and gave many options to help us decide.first was the beef Pattie’s. Something I try every time they are available…This was the Best beef pattie Crust I’ve ever had. The beef inside was sorta dry for my taste but still very flavorful. I’m from NY so I’m used to Jamaicans making fresh patties. Maybe moisten the mixture and you’ll have a hit with me.
I also had the pork kebabs with white rice, pretty plain and basic, but was very well seasoned and tasty. My kid had the tofu curry and didn’t like it that much they complained the the curry was not flavorful enough. We both loved the Jerk Chicken but thought the peas and rice were too dry for our tastes the plantains were great.
Personally overall with the great menu size and the mixed variety I’d like to go back and try a couple of more items however, I don’t think I’ll be able to get anybody to come back with me as everyone I ate with had disappointing meals. Definitely worth a visit.

I love their Jerk anything. The habanero sauce is EXQUISITE! The spices are amazing and you taste it in the protein, the side dishes, and sauces. I will keep coming back forever!

Mushroom burger seemed like a great idea, but this was poorly executed.giant bun, small mushroom, lots of sloppy other ingredients that turned it into a mushy monstrosity that started leaking everywhere the moment i picked it up.folded up piece of lettuce with core - who uses this part of the lettuce on a burger? Taste was definitely not worth the price or the mess.the coleslaw was unfortunately not to my taste either.but the worst part was the cassava cake.i ordered it with ice cream (in truth the whole reason i made this order was to get the ube ice cream) but it didn't come with any though that is what i purchased, & the texture was really unpleasant.it basically looked transparent, really not appetizing at all.ate it anyway since it was so expensive, but it was not a great experience - way too chewy for the cassava cake im used to.i can only imagine it's because it was reheated.i regret eating any of this.putting this review here to remind myself not to make this mistake again.additionally was looking for more vegan places for when i adopt the lifestyle fully next week - how in the world did this place come up as #1 vegan option in uber eats? Nothing in this entire menu is vegan.somebody lyin on purpose!

Went here for the first time to try something new. I had the red snapper (best ever), Goat stew is to die for. But the best of the best is the oxtail burger. My heavens I was speechless about the oxtail burger. I’m in love with the food here. Never had anything taste so so delicious. You guys are the best. Yum yum.

Food is outstanding, I had the Oxtail Burger which was ingenious, flavor compo really works, Callaloo was delicious, Cassava pie with Ube ice cream definitely a must try.

Locally owned and operated spot with a great menu. Their take on Caribbean/Filipino is inviting for everyone and I am yet to try something I didn’t enjoy. My family likes the Rasta Pasta (curry or jerk), Cuban sandwich, oxtail stew and lumpia.

The BEST AUTHENTIC HALO-HALO! Roti Wraps are also DELICIOUS! This place is SO unusual, and AWESOME! Sam gave us incredibly good customer service, and we stayed until they closed. Ventura’s best kept secret. Wanna find YUMMY Caribbean AND Filipino dishes in the same restaurant? Go to Caribbean Haven! We’ll be back again and again!

We love the food here. It’s expensive but then again isn’t everything nowadays. We dine in and even order giant amounts of takeout. Everybody in the family has a different Favorite I like the jerk chicken, my son likes the oxtail everybody likes the mac & cheese

This place is Awesome! Really great food and always playing some good reggae music inside. Id recommend The Jerk Chicken Plate, or the Filipino Pork BBQ skewers. Both are Amazing!

The food was excellent. The young man and young lady at the counter helped me choose what I was going to eat since it was my first time there. Their description was on point and their recommendations were perfect. Thank you very much everything was great!

Service was great and looks like it could be busy at times.

Affordably Priced Filipino and Carribean food.

A must-visit if you crave island food in Oxnard, CA.

We had the Tofu, Pork BBQ, and Adobo.
Though it looked simple, the salad was also very good. By the way, they also have Burger and fries.

Nice restaurant, with very friendly staff. The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I ordered the goat curry, and it is extremely boney. Delicious, but it's hard to enjoy it when I'm constantly spitting out pieces of bone. Will definitely go again, but probably not order the goat curry. Also, I'm not a coleslaw fan, but I liked theirs.
