Golden Krust - North Amityville

I visited the restaurant yesterday and ordered oxtail with rice and peas. To my disappointment, my plate only had bones, and when the server noticed my complaint, he went to the back to get more oxtail. The new pieces he brought out were large, but when I got home to eat, they were really tough. This isn’t the first time I’ve experienced this; a friend of mine went there previously and found the oxtail either overcooked or undercooked, resulting in the same hard texture. Overall, this restaurant is quite disappointing.

I don't typically write negative reviews because I believe that if you don't have something positive to say, it's better to stay quiet. However, I feel the need to share my experience this time. The curry goat I ordered was, without a doubt, the worst tasting food I’ve had in a long time. The curry was bitter, and the overall flavor was unrecognizable. After taking just a small bite, I ended up wrapping it up completely and tossing it in the trash. I'm not sure if it was just an “off” day for the kitchen, but I can't imagine what would make me want to return.

I was greeted with a smile by Camille, who seemed a bit overly friendly at first, but ultimately her warmth was a welcoming touch. Unfortunately, the food was the worst I’ve had in quite some time. Living in the boroughs and being familiar with Caribbean food, I consider myself quite capable of making an informed judgment. The patties tasted only partially baked, and for over $5, I expected better. I also ordered jerk chicken with oxtail gravy, but the chicken appeared and smelled raw and unseasoned, while the rice was overly greasy. To put it simply, if this is how you represent your culture, you should really consider closing the place down! There needs to be more passion and pride infused into your establishment, and food should be a way to share the story of your culture. I left feeling that I had wasted my time and money, and now I feel compelled to share this review so that improvements can be made.

I usually go out of my way to get golden krust , but today I worked close to this one and ordered a large goat curry. I wasn’t even asked what sides or rice I wanted. I let that slide since I was excited for their goat curry (which is one of my favorite curries btw from the chain). Oh boy was I disappointed… the curry looked like it was couple of days old and didn’t have the flavor it usually have. It lacked the spices that I usually love when ordering the goat curry from golden krust. Appearance wise it looked like a vomit thrown on a plate of rice. I’m just very disappointed because I am super upset and about to throw it out after eating one bite when usually I eat happily eat the dish in less than ten minutes. I never post negative reviews and give food places a benefit of a doubt but this one was pretty bad. I’m really upset I spent 20 dollars for something that taste disgusting and inedible. Also idk how this dish came out to be over 20 when the board advertise it for 16.99. .

I was very disappointed the last time I visited this establishment. Not only that the bun prices went up there's a service charge (not related to the use of a credit/debit card) that is on your receipt that's not posted or explained to the customer.
