I Absolutely love this local gem! I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed the food. Everything was flavorful and fresh.

I go here every chance I get--it's become one of my go-to spots!
Sadeandthecity on TikTok got me here. Food: Cha Chi Chicken: 4.5 Lamb fried rice: 4.5 The food is seasoned very well and the I appreciate the freshness of the vegetables in the fried rice. The lamb in the fried rice was a little dry, though. Overall I love that nothing needed a sauce or dip to make it taste better and I look forward to trying more of the menu.
Food was delicious. I had the shrimp fried rice. I will definitely revisit the establishment. The lady at the counter was very pleasant.
Food quick and reliable. I would call here before I go because there not open everyday. Parking sucks over there too.
D E L I C I O U S! Great food and customer service. Everything is made with TLC and absolute freshness. The food is well seasoned and honestly there is no bad thing in their menu. You will be in awe with anything that you order. Such friendly service. They are truly customer oriented and connected to the surrounded community. I'm not one to eat spicy foods but I definitely eat that jerk chicken!! Even if I have drink it with a glass a milk...it's way too good to put down An overall great restaurant and definitely recommend it.
So happy I listened to the reviews! I'm not even half way through the food and I had to stop and write this review. I'm always skeptical ordering from new places on Uber eats, but this Jerk Chicken Fried Rice is perfection on a plate!! The fried rice has to be top 5 best fried rices I've had. Jerk chicken is definitely a bit spicy and being African I'm use to spice but it's that you can't stop eating it spicy. More then satisfied with my order and will most definitely be ordering again (maybe the shrimp for next time).
Loved it. I have been up and down White Plains Road in search of the best Jerk Chicken and had not found anything that held my attention since when Arawak used to be the spot to go to before they closed. Looking for something different to eat other than the traditional Friday night take out, I stumbled upon the Yelp review of Carifesta which offers a fusion of West Indian and Asian dishes. I cannot more highly recommend the Jerk Chicken Fried Rice meal. Rarely, do I order any dish that I do not put some type of hot sauce on. I am glad I tasted before adding any sauce because the rice was perfectly seasoned and moist. And the most exciting part of my Carifesta experience is that finally... finally I had the Spicy Jerk Chicken I was looking for. It is not drenched in sauce, and not dull in flavor... This Jerk Chicken has just the right amount of heat and kick. I will most definitely be back there. The only hard part is now going to be deciding to get the Jerk Chicken again, or experiment with another dish.
