Vintage Caribbean - Naugatuck

A hidden gem in Naugatuck! This restaurant has been around for nearly a year, and despite visiting the area over a hundred times, we never knew it was here. It’s a small place that isn’t particularly noticeable when driving by, but it’s conveniently located directly across from Rite Aid. They have a few tables for dining in, or you can take your food to go. The delivery service is based on the order total, which is quite convenient. The atmosphere is casual, and the owners are friendly, making first-time customers feel warmly welcomed. The food is incredible, with some dishes made from family recipes! I ordered oxtails, white rice, yams, mac and cheese, and both jerk and regular wings as appetizers. Everything was fantastic!

We went two days in a row because the food was fantastic! The curry and chicken were spicy but absolutely amazing. The homemade mac and cheese was delicious. However, the ribs were the standout dish—simply the best. With generous portion sizes and phenomenal service, this place is a real winner. We should support them to ensure they stay around for a long time. I can’t wait to go back and try the wings!

Overall, I’ve sampled the oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken, stew chicken, and stew beef, and everything has been fantastic. My personal favorite is the jerk chicken served with rice and beans, cabbage, and mac and cheese, along with a spicy beef patty (I usually have to settle for this when all the curry chicken patties are gone).

Amazed at the priced OX tail here compared to others places. I went around CT for oxtail and they don’t have the fatty kind here. It’s good quality! The beef patties are good too it’s real crust not that fake stuff , also had the curry chicken ! I would come back here worth the drive. Nice clean environment!

Very impressed as first timers! It was around 4pm when we went in, and we weren’t too sure how long the food at the counter had been out............ but we went for it anyway, and it was piping hot! The candied yams were to die for! I’ve never tasted anything quite like them wow. The kind gentleman behind the counter also made us from scratch a jerk burger and pineapple chicken both were excellent and the jerk incredibly authentic (no “white American” flavors here this is the real deal! . Prices were fantastic too. Seems they’ve only been in business about 6 months. So fab to have something like this in the area. We’ll definitely be back.
