I don’t know what’s been going on with this place lately, but the quality has dropped a lot. The fried plantains used to be good, but for months now every time I order, they come out mushy, soft, and spoiled-tasting instead of properly fried. It’s like they’re just throwing bad plantains in the fryer and serving them anyway. That’s not fried plantain, it’s just mush on the plate, and it’s honestly horrible.
On top of that, I always ask for oxtail gravy on my rice, and they’re so stingy with it. For the prices they charge, the least they could do is give a decent portion of gravy.
I gave this spot another chance after staying away for months, and nothing has improved. Really disappointed in how far the food quality has fallen off.

I came here tonight from Connecticut and I’m a chef. Definitely critical. But the vibes were somewhat okay but the I guess employees were very much relaxed. I ordered jerk chicken large with rice and peas and cabbage and fried whiting and I dined in it took maybe 20-26 minutes to get food. The jerk chicken was bland and dry and reddish pink. It wasn’t cooked. Raw poultry. The rice and peas and cabbage was ice cold. I spoke to someone about it they came to my table and said I don’t have to pay. I was dining with a friend but I just was disappointed with the food and service so I went to my car. Then my friend called me to say they were going to charge her for my food. I also ordered fried whiting that was dry old and hard and inedible. Listen if you want to settle for less this is the place to be. The plating was great. The food raw. Nasty. Cold. Overpriced. They comped my food but tried to charge my friend for it. Disappointed. ☹️

So today 07/21/2025 on
my way to work I walked into Cravins and got me two spicy beef patties. I have been a regular customer for a while (UberEats & in person ) but I must say the quality of the food has definitely declined. The worst beef patty I’ve ever had. The beef was undercooked, no flavor and nothing spicy about it.
I’ve had many instances where it’s either the fried plantain was fried in whole and hard as a rock or the fried chicken tasted horrible but this is definitely the last straw. I won’t be ordering anything from this place again.

I’ve been a customer since the restaurant first opened and I’m always very pleased with my meals. Chef Calvin and staff and incredibly kind will take great care of you. White Plains needed a great Jamacian restaurant.

First time I went here I had the large oxtail plate, spicy patty and the passion pineapple juice. The food was pretty good. So I went back and for whatever reason it seemed like the staff had better things to do than serving me. I waited 15 minutes on my lunch break, then when it was finally my turn to order, the attendant stopped helping me to tend to an issue her coworker was dealing with in regard to an ubereats order. I don’t mind spending on good food, but I refuse to spend where I feel tolerated and not appreciated. It’s all good, they won’t miss my little 40 dollars a trip. But I just needed to share my experience. Blessings.

I love the soups they are all flavorful my favorite is the salmon soup. The food is delicious and seasoned well, portions are great too. I use to go to another restaurant for my Jamaican dishes but once I found Cravins in White Plains I soon realized that this is the best food.

Now this is Jamaican food!! Hugs and kisses to the chef! I had rice and peas with jerk chicken and Mac on the side. The rice and peas taste like my moms. Taste like the chef bus a coconut and make fresh milk to add in the rice !! The chicken was so flavorful and delicious. The Mac was the best I’ve ever had at a Jamaican restaurant. 10/10 will always recommend. This will be my go to spot when I’m in white plains!

I googled places to eat and saw Cravin among many… I liked the look of the logo and thought i’d give it a try. There was a bit of a wait but the customer service observed was encouraging. The staff, even those that didn’t interact with me appeared courteous, friendly, and warm. The customers I think also reflected the energy of the staff. Howard took my order (obliged me with two pieces of ️) I couldn’t help but asking for as it looked great on the fish and smelled . I ordered a small oxtail and was quite satisfied with the portion. They had contemporary gospel music in the background which I thought was refreshing. The female staff that commented on my rocking & singing was cheerful. The owner/manager stopped by to talk and was quite pleasant and seemed like a humble person. I now have a place that I will revisit when in the area and will recommend. Consistency is important to me. May God’s grace and mercies be with you and your staff as you create indelible memories with food and positive vibrations.

Nice restaurant.. I had rice and peas with Whiting fish it tasted ok would have tasted better if the fish wasn’t over fried, it was way too tough to nyam. My aunt got the oxtail she said it was absolutely delicious. I only give honest reviews ♀️

Every time I stop to eat here I’m always met with such a kind and welcoming atmosphere, the food is absolutely delicious and it’s definitely one of my go to spots they don’t skimp on the portions either! I love their jerk chicken and jerk salmon, always so fresh and spiced perfectly!
