Tried this place last night and the food was amazing!! Decent portions and nourishing food. It was quite busy for a Tuesday night and they probably didn’t expect it to be busy, which resulted in slow service. We tried the beans roti and jerk chicken, both are to die for.
The food is absolutely amazing and they are big portions. You will not be disappointed. The staff and the venue are perfect. Could not recommend this place enough.
Food is amazing, service very friendly, beautiful environment and price is great (~$25/p, not $50 as Zomato states).
We placed a booking and got a lovely spot reserved for us. The staff were friendly and their service was amazing. For entrees, I highly recommend the plantain chips and the pork belly. The mains were very tasty, and had large portions. The “drunkie monkey” dessert was delicious. This was the first time I’ve tasted Caribbean food but I can say that in everything, the food was full of flavour, very different to anything I’ve tried, and I enjoyed the meal. Also the ambience was warm and open. I would come here again :)
Brisbane’s first Caribbean restaurant! You can expect all the bright colours and spices of the region 😋 A beautifully themed interior perfectly matched our beautifully presented drinks and dishes. The regular sized bowls are actually VERY big, so make sure you bring an appetite! The yuca fries were my favourite thing because of the amazing aji dip. Also love the roti, which are also amazing value too. Definitely recommend this place 👌
greeted by the manager, Camilla, when we got in. Had our reserved table and high chair ready ✨Love to see a Caribbean restaurant in town!!! My favourite entree goes to the yuca fries and love love love the homemade sauce that comes with. Favourite main goes to the seafood bowl with lovely cooked prawns and scallops in creamy coconut sauce, goes perfect with the coconut rice (not the white sweet one in here, must try!!!) last but not least the bowl comes with the crispy plantain chips 🤤
I found the service to be at a five star level, approachable, friendly and inviting. Camilla answered the phone herself, with great manners, she was helpful, suggestive and welcoming. On arrival Camilla approached me with a bright smile and took care of my requests. I look forward to enjoying many more wonderful experiences at Maria Caribbean Kitchen.
Nice atmosphere, friendly staff with few teething problems. I ordered a small ropa vieija and the churros. The portions were huge. The ropa vieija could not be faulted, but the churros were not fried properly.

The flavours are so rich and fragrant yet somehow light and refreshing at the same time. Love Caribbean food and Maria Caribbean Kitchen does it splendidly.
We went in a party of four including one vegetarian, one fussy eater, and a seafood fiend. All of us adored our meals and can't wait to come back many times to try everything on the menu.
We were there for the first weekend of their opening so I half expected kinks in the service or food. Besides a 50 min wait for food, which the waitress gave us advance warning, the dining experience went without a hitch. The team is friendly and welcoming, and have good energy about them. The food was all delicious and presentation was gorgeous.
Highly recommend all of the dishes we had last night - jerk chicken, KFC, seafood, papotas, sweet plantain poppers, and dessert empanadas. Yum.
If you didn't try out Caribbean food before, may be you should try it out once. Personally recommend their seafood and chicken skewer. For the rice, garlic rice and coconut rice also very fragrant, if you prefer something sweet then you should go for coconut rice. But for the pork belly, too oily which I do not recommend you to order.
Genuine Caribbean cuisine and drinks (especially cocktails). The meals taste incredibly good and are available in small and regular sizes. Staff are super friendly and care about your dining experience. Setting is nice with good atmospheric music.
Good service, most food are great and many vegetarian options. I like the vegetarian entrees but one of the mains (vegetarian) was quiet salty. Hope they will improve.
Absolutely loved the food at Marias! The crispy fried cauliflower was delicious and the seafood dish was a standout! The interiors are gorgeous as well.
