Reviews for Sylvia's in Poughkeepsie, NY
Last night I stopped by Sylvia?s Jamaican Restaurant to see if they had oxtails. Omg they did!! The very friendly gentleman (may... have been the owner) gave me a sample. It was so delicious! I took a very generous amount home to share with hubby. He loved itand he is very picky eater. Please go try it. I can?t wait to go back and try other dishes. Read more

I have been to Sylvia's many times and I must say, without a doubt, that Sylvia's Jamaican restaurant is the best place to get... jamaican food in the (845) area. Authenticity 5-star Quality 5-star Taste 5-star Service 5-Star Staff 5-star I have nothingterrible to say about this wonderful establishment. The staff is sincere and respectful. The quality and taste of food is betterthan any competing West Indian/Jamaican restaurants in the near-by vicinity. As a Jamaican myself, I really appreciate how theyfocus on the Authenticity of the taste of the food and not try to cater too much to an American audience by changing the recipe.They're formula has proven that authentic Jamaican can be succesful. I will continue to be a strong supporter of this restaurantand I strongly advise anyone looking for REAL Jamaican cuisine, to stop by(or call ahead) and try their food.

Wonderful establishment, reminds of the Caribbean restaurants I dine at when in Miami. Cowfoot on Fridays, Ox Tails, Cirry Goat... and jerk. I'm in heaven with choices like this Read more
NICEST PEOPLE HERE! Fantastic food. Every time I have visited, the customers and the staff are always incredibly sweet - one... person even went out of her way to check for me if they had beef patties left! The beef patties are amazing, the mixed veggiesand cabbage were seasoned so well. Fried plantains were good, and the oxtail was delicious! They usually have limited stocks offood, which is okay even if I miss out on some food because then you know it's fresh. If you want all the good stuff (like thedumplings usually sell out quick), come here exactly at or their posted breakfast and lunch times! Read more
