The food is GOOD GOOD! Probably the best Jamaican food I've had (outside of Jamaica). Definitely authentic-I got the jerk chicken plate and it wasn't overly spicy to the point it obliterated your palate... but it still has a good kick to it. Cash only and super quick service!

The food is good. I got a small (it is not small, it's 2 meals worth) jerk chicken plate which veg and pasta (instead of rice, so extra charge). I really liked it! Genuinely no complaints about the food. I do think the ordering process/layout of the restaurant is a little confusing and chaotic. Hopefully that can be improved upon. Otherwise, solid place. Will be returning!

Good jerk chicken. Pricy for the plate but good crispy chicken and i love the vegetables, they're actually crunchy flavored and not soggy. I love a good bite! A bit salty on the chicken but its cool you can actually only get chicken w no rice or sides for I remember it to be $8. But this plate in picture was like $15?(It was a while ago back in march). I always pass by nd smelled grilled chicken nd its right off the train station so I'm glad I finally got to try! Small place interior nd they do take card if you manage to catch the man who will swipe it for you.

The food is great, my only complaint is the wire scrub they use to clean the grill in hey cooking sometimes leave pieces on the chicken, I found it twice. I've never had a problem with the customer service here.

This was my first time here and let me tell you, it was delicious. $15 for a large platter of jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantain, and cabbage. Make sure you get it with extra jerk sauce. First of all, let's talk about the star of the show, the jerk chicken. The chicken was MOIST and the only way to eat this is with your fingers. It was WELL seasoned and left you licking your fingers. To compliment it, we had the rice and peas in which they were not shy with the portions. The cabbage was regular nothing too crazy and same goes for the plantain. Definitely get that jerk chicken when you come here. Also, this is enough to feed 2-3 people depending on how much you eat. Next time back in this area, I'll have to try some other things

I'm a fan of jerk chicken and have had this place highly recommended to me forever. I've never stopped in until now, mostly because there's no place to eat and the park is several blocks away. Ironically, I chose a chilly, cloudy day to stop in and bring my meal to the park, where it began to drizzle. I ordered the large jerk chicken lunch/dinner ($14 even.) It came with rice and peas, stewed cabbage and veggies, and plantain. You can pick your choice of rice (I also saw white and yellow vegetable rice.) I received quite a bit of food in one container- It weighed probably two pounds. In any case, it was enough to feed both my husband and I. I like that I got both cabbage and plantain, as a lot of places just give the cabbage. That was a pleasant surprise, as they were fried just right. The chicken wasn't spicy as in hot, but did have a pleasant smoky and vinegary taste. I think I got about 6 pieces (I didn't take a photo as I was so hungry!) Overall, I would definitely buy from Exquisite again. It's convenient right next to the Church Ave. station on the 2/5 train just off Nostrand- check them out.

I've literally been buying jerk chicken from this spot for at least 18 years! As a Brooklyn girl with a strong connection to East Flatbush, I can say that outside of the Caribbean, the area has THE best West Indian food! And THIS particular spot has the best jerk chicken. And it's always fresh off the grill, cooked right in front of you. They also have the usual rice and peas, ox tails, macaroni pie (baked mac and cheese), fish, vegetables, etc. I've had several other items on the menu and they're all good, but most times I'm satisfied with chicken. Be warned, the place is small and in the winter, it can get a little steamy inside. The process is to place your order with one person who gives you a number (on your receipt) and then wait til your number is called. At that point, they give you an opportunity to put any sauces on your food (self serve) before they close it up. Note that only cash us accepted. Again, after two decades, I'm still sold on their jerk chicken!

This is probably the only Caribbean restaurant in Brooklyn that I can swear by. The food is always good. I recently became a vegetarian and I came here after a long day at the salon. It took about 20 minutes for my number to call for them and then they dished out my food. Overall, I deducted one star because of the wait. There has to be a faster system. Also, I asked for a small container to pour out sauce. They charge extra for that.

I echo the great sentiments of these four and five star reviews! I tried the jerk chicken, it came with sliced hard-dough (Jamaican bread). It was wonderful! Feel free to get the sauce on the side if like me yuh ain't "saucy". Their crispy chicken skin, YES I SAID SKIN....for the win!!! The staff here is wonderful too, talks to patrons they haven't seen for a while with the Caribbean love of "what's up man, ah eh see yuh fuh ah long time, yuh gud?". There are other mains like salmon and oxtail. There was a white lady ahead of me getting her oxtail. She said "I love that thing man" hahaha). Good vibes all 'round! I love this little jerk-house!
