It's not often to find a Carribean style restaurant ever. We have had past experience with jerk chicken and fairly excited about this. The chicken is very moist although unfortunately the accompanying sauce is not as flavour as we wanted. The fish taco and chicken wings are excellent too.
Great food. Friendly staff. Enjoyed the jerk chicken, fish tacos and grilled corn. Fun vibe and good atmosphere!
Never tried Caribbean food before and it was a treat! The jerk chicken was juicy and flavoured very well, nothing like I’ve had before. The ceviche tasted fresh and light. The lamb curry was very creamy and filling, good serving size and tasted great. Overall great new experience, try it if you’re in the area :)
Wished I took more pictures of the amazing food here! The dishes were all so tasty and the atmosphere of the restaurant was so lovely too!
Amazing food and really good service!
The corn bread is incredible and is a MUST! We also love the kingfish ceviche and the burger!
Thank you!!

Will come back for:
+ Kingfish Ceviche
+ Vee’s famous Chicken
This place is charming with it’s carribbean rhythm and vibe, supported well by it’s chill and friendly staff. We came by for dinner and started with the kingfish ceviche which was fresh, tangy, with a hint of spice. This was delicious and a great way to kick off the meal. We followed this with the miso tamarind short ribs which whilst tasty was a little dry. This one could do with a little more sauce. The leafs accompanying to wrap the meats was a novel (Asian fusion) way to eat this dish. I particularly like their jerk chicken (although this took a little bit longer, it was worth the wait). This was super tasty, smokey but still succulent in the middle. The spice rub was bold, generous and spicy. Some bits of the chicken was probably taken a bit too far, but I don’t mind a little bit of the charred bits. Overall, this was a good meal. Prices are reasonable for what you get and they certainly do provide something a little bit of difference in this strip.

Tonight we caught up with friends Queen Vees on High St Prahran. This cozy little restaurant hand plenty of charm with pink flamingo and palm tree wallpaper adorning the walls and fragrant cinnamon smell from the steaming mulled wine. We sat at the front of this bustling venue and ordered drinks ahead of reading up on this Caribbean inspired comfort food menu.
We started with a couple of individual cocktails and Vee’s punch. My Lei’d back was delicious with a blend of Jamaican & Puerto Rican rum, curacoa, apricot and passionfruit. Vee’s punch was light and easy drinking and not overly sweet like some.
Food was ordered for sharing and came out surprisingly quick for a venue that was quite busy.
For starters we snacked on delicate kingfish ceviche that was melt in your mouth fresh and served on potato chips. The fresh warm corn bread had lovely cinnamon overtones and the finger licking good chicken ribs that had been smothered in wonderful sweet sticky sauce, I could have eaten a whole plate of these to myself!
For mains we shared the lamb shoulder curry, the curry was quite mild and to say the lamb was tender is an understatement. The best lamb curry we have had in a long while.
The very Caribbean Jerk Chicken had been seriously marinated and was lovely and moist with plenty of flavour and went perfectly with the creamy Jalapeno Mac and Cheese side.
The miso tamarind Short ribs, fell off the bone and we loved the surging suggestion which was san choi bao style complete with green leaves to wrap and devour. This gave a lovely freshness to the dish.
For sides we ordered the super tasty Char Grilled Cauliflower which had a wonderful texture and delicious combo of sauces (I think I ate more than my fair share as I kept going back for more of this one!).
After the food is finished we sat back and enjoyed the bar like ambiance that seem to radiate once everyone’s bellies where full.
Couldn’t fault the service and really loved the atmosphere. A great nights dining.
Ummm so. much. yes!
Loving Zomato Gold for bringing my attention to Queen Vees, a Caribbean Kitchen and bar located on High St in Windsor. From the outside it doesn't look anything out of the ordinary, but stepping inside you are transported to the Caribbean. The decor and furnishings are absolutely perfect, and the staff were incredibly friendly.
There were SO MANY vegan options I was spoilt for choice. We opted to share the cornbread for entree, and I opted for the Jerk Jackfruit with a side of vegan mac n cheese for mains. This was a lot of food but was too appealing not to order. And for dessert we finished with the apple and rum syrup cake which was to die for.
Oh and the cocktails were incredible!
Can't wait to go back and try everything else on the menu.
Fun night at Queen Vees last night with a few friends. We started with a couple of rounds of cocktails which were all really delicious. Some of us chose off the menu and some of us just asked the bar tender to make up something with our favourite flavours. They were so good!
All the food was packed full of flavour. The standouts for us were the creamy Mac & Cheese, the Jerk Chicken, the tasty Pumpkin curry and the beef short rib is a must! A really great place.
Cool little restaurant with a fun vibe. Staff are really friendly and helpful and food is tasty. We ordered the kingfish ceviche to start. Then we went for the jerk chicken, the roasted cauliflower and the mac and cheese. The jerk chicken was well cooked and definitely a generous portion size (half a chicken). The kingfish was a nice light way to start the meal and I would definitely recommend the mac and cheese as a side dish.

Visited for the first time with 3 friends for dinner on a Tuesday. Had intentions of doing the Vegan special but wanted to try dishes from the regular menu. It was all fantastic. Food delicious, had a lovey mocktail and the service was also fab. Friendly and casual. Will definitely be back!
Great place to go as I haven't had flavours quite like this before. Had the chicken and chicken ribs which had the great red sauce and the oxtail stew. The coleslaw with mango was delicious. Probably not a place you will go to many many times but you should try at least once.
Comfort food at its best 😍 started with cornbread (best cornbread I've had to date, the hazelnut garlic butter with it was just perfect), then the cerviche and finished with jerk chicken and oxtail curry. So much flavour in every dish but not so much to overwhelm. Also get a cocktail, you won't regret it.
Definitely will be back 👌
Oddly my first visit here last night.
Had such a delightful experience with the food, music and flavours. I went with a vegan and we shared plates between 3 of us, the richness and flavours were tickling all the mouth sensors the right way.
Had a perve at some of the meat option on other tables, already looking forward to going back and trying these.
Hanoi's original home always has a place in my heart, but I couldnt imagine a better place to follow it up. Amazing job guys, :)
Went here for Tuesday’s vegan night and it was awesome!! For starter we had a “fish” taco followed by “fish” and chips and what I think they called a Jamaican mess (vegan fried rice with pineapple, pepper, coconut and lots of fresh herbs) and finished with a delicious stone fruit dessert with some kind of sweet crunchy topping on it. All excellent! We cleaned our plates and would happily do it again. Not a bad deal for 39 AUD! We also got a pitcher (jug) to share of an awesome punch that was enough for 6 drinks at 36 AUD. All in all an excellent time, gorgeous decor and the staff was super friendly/ helpful! Get there early cause this place fills up.
Short menu (thank god, didn’t need to read a book) but brilliant choices. Don’t bother picking just ask Ben. Absolutely bloody delicious. Wings. Ribs. Corn fritters. Chicken and Slaw to die for. Great beers and a great vibe too. Couldn’t fault it, really glad I went. Go there!!
