Flavorful Caribbean Comfort with Outstanding Service!
Our first visit to Caribbean Gourmet in the San Gabriel Valley was a total delight! We ordered the Curry Chicken with Roti, Curry Chicken with Rice & Peas, and the Oxtail Stew—and every dish was absolutely delicious. My entire family was thrilled with their meals, and everyone agreed the flavors were rich, authentic, and deeply satisfying.
The service was immediate and courteous, with staff greeting us warmly and serving with genuine smiles. The ambiance was just as impressive—welcoming, spotless, well-organized, and beautifully multicultural. It felt like stepping into a vibrant island kitchen with a touch of elegance.
We’re already planning our next visit, and I’m especially excited to see the holiday menu so I can place a catering order. Caribbean Gourmet has earned a permanent spot on our favorites list!… more… View more

I’ve had Caribbean Gourmet on my radar for a while and finally got a chance to try it – all I can say is I’m mad at myself for not trying it sooner! The food was so flavorful and comforting – reminded me of the southern soul food I grew up eating and I’ll definitely be going out of my way to try some pastries and their weekend specials when I’m in the area!
We tried the jerk chicken plate and the chicken curry roti for our first visit and loved them both. The jerk chicken was the clear winner for us though – perfect blend of warming spices on a flawlessly tender chicken quarter (dark meat), coupled with rice and a nice veggie blend – heaven itself! The rice was also incredibly flavorful – and I LOVED the roasted plantains – a perfect accompaniment! Absolutely would get again.
The chicken curry roti was great too – tender white meat chicken in a savory stewed curry sauce with some more of those yummy marinated veggies. It was delicious but wasn’t a typical curry flavor that you get in the area – definitely unique and authentic to the Caribbean style of dishes. It’s a bit more spicy than I’m used to but I loved it. My only complaint was the texture of the roti bread – again it wasn’t the style you typically see out here in SoCal. It was more coarse and very flaky – almost like a thick homemade tortilla as opposed to a pita style bread. It had a nice flavor overall but I wasn’t a fan of the texture. But that’s totally a personal preference and I would absolutely get the curry again – but I’d get it with the rice plate and I think that would be perfect.
A very friendly man eating next to me while I waited had a delectable looking dish as well – he said it was their saturday special of chicken stew and it looked AMAZING! He said it was his favorite dish here and goes out of his way to come get it. So I’ll definitely be seeking that out next time I visit!
The staff were insanely friendly – so warm and welcoming and excited to help me pick out my first dishes to try. Chef Yonette Alleyne originally hails from Guyana and she started this delicious restaurant as a pop up – her cooking is incredible and authentic and something everyone should have on their LA must try list! She has now made Blossom Market Hall her home – and Caribbean Gourmet is definitely a star in the food hall lineup here.
Order at the counter and they’ll give you a buzzer. The vibe in the market hall is lively and inviting – with lots of seating options and promising dessert choices once you’ve finished your dinner. You’ll find Caribbean Gourmet right inside the main entrance and there’s plenty of free parking on site.
Prices are decent considering the quality and the portions are massive. Can’t wait to come back and try the specials and pastries!!

This is top quality, fresh food. Located inside the Blossom Market Food Hall in San Gabriel, this place is a gem! They make everything from scratch including their pastries and guava mango drink. I had the oxtails, rice & peas, sweet plantains and seasoned cabbage. The oxtails were perfect and falling off the bone. No thick gravy to mask untasty meat as I’ve seen other places do, here the meat was seasoned well and tender. Most places screw up the rice & peas, but not here. I’m a rice and beans momma so it was refreshing to finally find a restaurant that knows how to make tasty rice (not just bland boiledness) The guava drink was sweet and tasty. I ordered Jamaican beef patties to go. The staff very friendly. In fact I called before I came and spoke to Chef Sinny who patiently gave me a run down on all their food. I met the owner Yonette Alleyne who was kind hearted and handed me her business card. Someone needs to let Keith know about this place, as they deserve immense success!

This spot by far has the best Caribbean food I’ve had in the greater L.A. area. My favorite is the oxtail, it comes with rice and peas, cabbage, and fried plantain… they make their rice proper, with coconut milk! They also serve dishes like roti and jerk chicken, all the food is really delicious! This little restaurant is located inside of a food mall, there is seating inside, as well as some tables and chairs outside. Oh, and let me not forget to mention the drinks: sour sop, sorrel, pineapple ginger, guava… they are all really fresh and super tasty! The owners are Guyanese, so the food is truly authentic Caribbean!

Yesterday was my first time eating here, and it definitely met my expectations! I even met chef/owner Yonette who was a gracious and sweet lady. The recommended oxtail stew was delicious and flavorful (expect boney), and good combo portions. Wish there was more of the sweet plantains though. I asked for their hot pepper sauce, and it added a nice kick to the food! The pineapple tart was the BOMB; so sweet & buttery warm goodness! Omg, I finished that scrumptious tart on the drive home—make sure you eat it hot. I’ll definitely go back and try the chicken curry and jerk chicken!

A Little Piece of Heaven on a Sunday
On Sundays, you just want a little piece of heaven. It’s the day before the work week begins, and when the sun is shining, the weather’s perfect, and everyone seems to be on the same vibration, it feels like everything aligns.
We found ourselves in San Gabriel at Blossom Market, where I stumbled upon a familiar name, but for me, a first-time experience, Caribbean Gourmet. I was immediately intrigued, especially when I noticed a panel of Caribbean flags proudly displayed. Seeing my very own among them made me feel not just inspired, but welcomed.
As someone who isn’t a native of Los Angeles, any time I see something or someone that reminds me of home, of island people, it fills me with warmth. You feel connected, you feel loved, you feel family. And that’s exactly how I felt the moment I approached Caribbean Gourmet.
From the start, I was beyond welcomed and cared for. As I began asking questions, the team offered me samples, one of oxtail, the other of curry chicken, each with a little rice. When I tell you, I didn’t even have a big appetite, but I could have eaten a full plate of both.
The oxtail was smooth and tender, falling right off the bone. It was spicy, but in a way that took you on a journey, inviting you in gently before leading you to a deeper, richer heat. Every bite was comforting and flavorful, settling into a spice that lingered beautifully. The curry chicken was equally balanced, juicy, well-marinated, and bursting with warmth.
After my samples, I was absolutely full, but I had to support this business. So I ordered a chicken patty, and when I tell you, a tear came down my face with that first bite, I mean it. The crust was perfection, flaky, buttery, almost dessert-like, and the filling was deeply seasoned, tasting as though it had been marinated for hours, maybe even days. It was packed with flavor, hearty, and beyond satisfying.
It’s now almost 4 o’clock, and I know I won’t be eating dinner. Not because I’m not hungry, but because I’m so fulfilled, by the food, by the care, by the love that was poured into every bite.
In my usual fashion of gratitude, I had to say thank you. I wanted to meet the person behind the magic. When I returned to Caribbean Gourmet, I saw a woman speaking with someone and couldn’t help but interrupt to ask if she was the cook. She smiled, it was Yonette Alleyne, the owner herself.
What an angel. Her hands aren’t just meant for cooking, they’re meant for sharing love and light through food. Speaking with her felt like being embraced by family.
She made my Sunday. I cannot wait to return, to connect with Yonette again, and to share the beautiful and delicious experience I had at Caribbean Gourmet.

Went to check them out. They are located in a small food court. Inside the Blossom Market Hall. The oxtails seasoned and cooked right. Tenderness and texture were on point. The jerk chicken was marinated good and seasoned well. Nice char on the chicken skin. Cabbage was tasty, but just a small scoop. Along with just a few (3) plantain slices. Would have liked more portions of the sides. Had plenty of the coconut rice though. The meat pies are a little more hefty than other places. Nice texture & taste on the crust. Meat was seasoned and a good amount. They ran out chicken pies. SoThey offer a hot sauce condiment. Comes in a very very small amount. They say it’s to hot for many, but your welcome to get more. We had like 8 or 10 to accompany or dishes. Small selection of pastries at the counter.Staff was friendly. Beverage selection is minimal. There is an outdoor patio section. Along with some private bench & tables on the side of the building. Which are a nice touch. There are public restrooms inside. Parking lot is medium size and spots are hrad to find. Only saw 1 handicap parking space in front.

The stuff here is very friendly. Prices here is decent, and portion is big. Oxtail is very tender and juicy, and jerk chicken is taste good as well. I probably going to try the patty and pastry next time. Overall, I recommend the combo set because it’s cheaper, and try the different variety of the food.

No matter how far away I might move or live, I will ALWAYS come back for the absolutely AMAZING authentic Caribbean food here!!
The staff are always all smiles, and so friendly and helpful!! The owner is also usually there making sure things go just right, and that her customers are happy-a real sign that a lot of heart and soul are at the core of this incredible little restaurant.
We always get the traditional Jerk Chicken plate, which comes with all the traditional sides, Jamaican rice n beans, steamed cabbage/vegetables, and fried sweet plantains… I also ALWAYS get a side of their Oxtail soup, and literally put it all over everything! It’s THAT GOOD!! That said, this is hands down, the BEST oxtail soup I’ve ever had!!!
They have house made traditional Jamaican Punches, and a wide variety of other dishes on the menu-lots of traditional, then some slightly less traditional so as to offer a variety that everyone can enjoy.
They are comfortably nestled in the San Marino Market, and surrounded by lots of other international food stalls, so you can get some delicious Jamaican meals there, and maybe try some yummy drinks or other various dishes around the market. The space is large, and open, well lit, with lots of seating all over the place-inside and out if it’s a nice day!
The best decision of your day, week, month, or maybe year, will be making this fantastic place your next GO TO traditional Jamaican food spot!!!
Hope you bring your taste buds, because they’re about to throw a party for all this traditional Jamaican FLAVOR!!!
