About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Kid-friendly
  • Great for happy hour
Kingston, a Jamaican and Caribbean restaurant and bar is the only authentic Caribbean dining experience located in Harlem, the most diverse part of New York City. Kingston creates a euphoric feeling of nostalgia for a caribbean lax, calm and tranquil vacation with the music, energy and food offered which provides an escape from the fast paced New York City. The menu items are traditional Jamaican and Caribbean meals and beverages with a contemporary flare designed to appeal to an International market but still maintaining all crucial taste buds and flavors. Undeniably Caribbean culture, food and music has been impactful globally, regionally and locally. However, there are no Caribbean restaurant and or barwith a complete experience present in the area. But instead elements of the culture were easily modified and copied in so many restaurants. Kingston creates something offering a truly authentic experience.

    Came in and the staff was very chill and accommodating. Drinks were good I got the spicy Margarita which was very spicy. Our food came out and we were a group of 8. Some of the people in our party's fold was a bit cold but they took the plates back and rewarmed it right away. I ordered the Jerk Salmon, sweet plantain and veggies and mine was warm and delicious. I would definitely come back again.

    It was a great experience for Father’s day. My family and I were welcomed and seated immediately. Camille, the hostess was so warm and pleasant - she placed the food orders, kept refilling our waters, and checking to make sure we had everything we needed. The food was to die for - quick, cooked to perfection and delicious. To top it off, the setup felt authentic to Jamaica and allowed us to be immersed in the culture of Harlem. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat and I will definitely return! Love.

    Kingston was definitely a surprise. I passed it a couple of times, but wasn't sure of it's authenticity. The food was great Jerk Pork Bites (spicy & flavorful) were a great size app. We had the oxtails with rice n peas and cabbage. They were very good and the portions were nice sized. The rum punch packed a punch!!! Of course, someone else had an ice cold red stripe. The music was great very dance party vibe and the bartenders/waitresses were attentive. They probably need one more dedicated waiter on a Friday night, but everyone was having a ball. We had 2 ten year olds in our party and they enjoyed themselves.
