Founded by Marva Layne, Negril Village has set the standard in Caribbean dining and cuisine. Located in the heart of SOHO moments away from the iconic Washington Square Park and NYU the restaurant entwines cultural heritage with a modern contemporary aesthetic. Our menu has been designed with these same principals in mind, paying homage to traditional Caribbean fare while not fearing to innovate on that foundation. Come join us for dinner and enjoy all that Negril Village has to offer.
Spicy Caribbean fare, potent rum punch & an in-house DJ playing tunes create an island vibe.

Reviews
also really enjoyed the ginger drink–it packs a punch and makes you feel like you’ll never be sick again. the prices make sense for the ambiance and food was great, so I definitely want to be back!
I started with the jerk shrimp skewers served with ackee & saltfish tostones, and they were absolutely delicious—full of flavor and perfectly cooked. For my entrée, every bite was so good that I left my plate completely clean.
For drinks, I ordered the strawberry lemon drop with tequila, and the bartender really put love into it. Perfectly balanced and one of the best cocktails I’ve had in a while.
If you’re looking for authentic Caribbean food in a space that feels welcoming and soulful, Negril Village is the place to go. And if you’re lucky, you might even get the chance to meet Ms. Marva herself. Tell her I said hello.
Starting with the service: Anthony was our server and truly did it all. He was the first to greet us when we walked in, made our drinks at the bar, and served us at the table—all with a big smile. He was friendly, attentive, and incredibly helpful throughout the night.
The ambiance was lovely and welcoming. For food, we ordered the oxtails, which were incredibly tender and delicious. It’s rare to find oxtail that isn’t tough or overly fatty, and these absolutely exceeded expectations. We also had the seafood roti, which was full of flavor.
The drinks were excellent as well. Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish. Highly recommend.
Prices seemed a bit high from our perspective, but maybe that is typical in the US.
Unfortunately, the waiter service was not great that day, which affected the experience slightly.
I visited Negril Village in Brooklyn on a Saturday evening and had an incredible experience from start to finish.
First off, the ambiance is amazing — vibrant colors, stylish decor, and that warm, welcoming island energy. The space is photo-friendly without feeling overdone. We sat upstairs, which gave us a great view of the bar and the whole restaurant. Chill reggae played in the background at just the right volume, setting a relaxed and inviting vibe.
Now for the food and drinks — absolutely delicious! The rum punch is a must-try: sweet, fruity, and made with authentic Wray & Nephew rum for that smooth yet serious island kick. We started with the oxtail egg rolls, and wow — these were the highlight of the meal! Crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful inside, and bursting with perfectly seasoned oxtail. You only get three per order, but they’re so good you won’t even care.
For entrées, I had the Oxtail Rasta Pasta, which was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. My friend ordered the traditional oxtail dinner with rice & peas and mac & cheese on the side — everything was seasoned perfectly and served in hearty portions.
Our server, Anthony, was wonderful — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the experience even better.
If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food with great vibes and top-notch service, Negril Village should be at the top of your list. I’ll definitely be back!
