The menu boasts a delightful array of classic Caribbean favorites, each crafted with care and bursting with fresh, aromatic spices.

Very friendly service. Delicious homemade food. Ready very quickly. I had a large portion of curry rice, beans, cabbage and carrots enough for 2 or 3 helpings, for under $6! You can't buy a generic sandwich for that... inside and outside seating and plenty of parking lot parking.

The curry I been trying find for the longest this is my spot now . Just came by today and tried the min curry loved it’s just the way I like it.

We had the Ox Tails and Curry Chicken. Both were amazing. Some of the best Caribbean food we have had in Virginia. I highly recommend both dishes we had. We will be back to Caribbean Taste!!!

This place is really new, but the food was AMAZING!!! I had the curry goat and also sampled the brown stew chicken, my wife had the curry chicken and my kids both had the island chicken. We had a group of 15 and were served very timely. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will DEFINITELY return!! My daughter gave them "10 stars," I agree!
