I forgot to take a pic of my actual food but I always order a small. It’s tricky when they say small but the portions are big and the container is large. I think they should put it in a smaller container and price it lesser. This price for a small is too much like a medium price. Well I’ve been to places like Golden crust, Poppie’s Deli, Caribbean Thyme, Big Jerk & Richie rich. When you say small the prices range from $8-$10. Medium $15 above that’s their price range at Cravin. I don’t usually finish the food cause it’s a lot mostly rice. I don’t know maybe depending on what day or time I feel like the food I’m getting are leftover for the day. It’s tasty but not satisfying to my Jamaican food cravings. It’s a hit or miss. I can tell when a chicken is old versus fresh. I ordered jerk chicken , curried goat and so far it’s the fried chicken that I tasted and liked.

I found myself up in Wappinger Falls for an event, on my way south back to the city I needed something to eat before dealing with Saturday afternoon traffic.
I happened to stumble upon Cravin Jamaican Cuisine in Ossining online and decided to give them a try. A small little shop with a very attentive staff. I ordered a medium stew chicken and some chicken patties to go.
The food was delicious and a generous portion, I had plenty left to take home. I was not as much of a fan of the patties as I was the stew. They were not bad, I just have had the opportunity to try several from all over as well as my sister makes some awesome ones.
This was nice gem to find for both grab and go or a quick stop and grub on the spot.
When in the area again I would
Mine stopping by again, even if it’s just to grab to food to go.
Just A Note:
They have some ice cream (Jamaican run raisin and grape nut to name a couple) that I was interested in trying. However I was full and wouldn’t travel well. Maybe next time I’ll eat the ice cream and save the food. Lol.

Tasty and flavorful Jamaican food. Very generous portions (the pictured dishes were the “small” sizes). The staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable given the food quality and quantity.

My curry goat with rice and peas, plantain was delicious today. MY daughter enjoyed her chicken . Well seasoned and I got value for my money. We had that with cold tropical rhythm juice.We chose to dine outside. A few bees visited but I fan them away. The place is clean and homely. Back ground radio/ music was soothing.The waitresses were pleasant and professional. Bathroom is clean. Totally recommend this place. I will definitely go back when go a cross again.

Ossining has mostly Spanish restaurants and we were lucky to come across this Carribean gem.
Food is awesome and the place is nicely done. They have plenty of seating. Loved the goat curry with cabbage and white rice. Food was fresh and portions were generous. Loved the pickled cabbage and tender and flavorful meat. Sure to visit again.

I had the veggie stew and friend had the ox tail. Both meals were a good portion and tasty. Great selection of drinks and sweets. The staff were friendly as well as the other patrons. Cute back porch, thanks for welcoming experience!

We recently had them cater food for a large house party and Cravin Jamaican was a hit! We’ve ordered from here many times and love the food but we were impressed with how much everyone at the party were huge fans. My husband was actually not even able to get any jerk chicken because people devoured it so quickly! I’m very glad that we catered from Cravin. We also deeply appreciated that the owner came personally to drop off the food and came early at that. It was one less thing to worry about. Thanks again!

I’ve ordered once before from them and it was nasty, I said let me give them one more try maybe it was just the chicken? Nope , ordered today again, the Mac & cheese was super greasy no flavor, tasted sweet. The fish was dry and overcooked looks like it was overheated from yesterday. The oxtails too small for a large, the cabbage overly greasy no taste ! Rasta pasta again no taste & super greasy , never again
