Across reviews Faybee's Restaurant earns praise for bold Caribbean flavors and dishes like jerk chicken, griot, goat curry, oxtail, roti, and patties, with many noting the food is delicious and the atmosphere lively or cozy, yet several comments highlight inconsistency in portions and meat quantity, including small portions for the price and oxtail not always tender. Takeout and online ordering experiences are mixed, with occasional price discrepancies, missing extras, and busy service that can feel urgent or loud. Some visitors had off days where dishes did not meet expectations, while others call Faybee's a hidden gem and a reliable go to for flavorful meals and good drinks. Seating is limited and takeout is common, but the overall impression remains that the flavors are strong and authentic, even if consistency varies and service can be uneven.
Edit: malheureusemenr je dois changer mon avis de 5 étoiles à 2 étoiles.les 2 premieres fois que j'ai commandé la c'etait absolument delicieux, genereux & plein de saveur.Maintenant la qualitè reate a desiré. Mes patés sont secs,durs & presque sans chair. Les accras sont foncés à cause de l'huile réutilisé, les bananes sont dur & secs & la quantité de viands est très peu pour le prix. Par contre, le gout du oxtail est toujours aussi délicieux mais ont recoit beaucoup d'os & pas beaucoup de viande
Very nice people, but unfortunately the food protein was really lacking in portion size & the chick peas were not cooked it was very hard. I may try again since it could have been an off kind of day. Will update review if nothing has changed after they move.
The food was so amazing, it was hard not to give 5 stars! However, we ordered through their website site & the amount charged to my card was higher than the receipt on their website. When we called to get help, they basically said it wasn't their problem & we need to take it up with the third party they use for online orders. Kind of put a damper on our great meal being on hold with a third party point of sales system company:/ All said, though, the food is incredible & I'd suggest ordering in person!
Ordered takeout. Was pretty disappointed with the oxtail. It was hard, not cooked tender & the portion was considerably small for the price (not enough for one person). The curry goat was good but same issue with the portion. Haitian patty was alright but again low on meat. They are stingy on the meats unfortunately.

I was not satisfied with my order. The plantain was burned so said the chicken. The jerk chicken was not that spicy. You didn't have no kind of flavor. The rise & peace was not bad, but overall the quality of the food was very bad. Very poor.
I've been there 3 times so far. I ordered online & asked for extra sauce & piklies.... did not get. But was charged. But the food is good & that's what counts.
Had the oxtail & chicken curry roti. Both was 🔥. It hit that late night craving I was havin'.
Tried the griot another day & it was nice. Fresh. The sauce for the rice is so good.
My wife & I went to try out this restaurant,the seating area is small but you feel a vibrant caribbean atmosphere. The menu is very bold & accurate for customers to view.
Food: I ordered oxtail,rice & peas,my wife ordered red snapper with rice & peas but at the moment they were sold out so she got King fish instead.I have to honestly say the food was up to standards as a Jamaican man,we enjoyed our meal & toasted it down with a ginger beer & one vitamin.
Dem mad man dem mad.
Customer service is loud!! 🔥 the girl was polite even though she couldn't speak French .
Gi dem a try

The food is great but the service is terrible. Called in for a pick up & waited 15minutes after coming in, the man was so busy yelling at the woman in the kitchen that he didn't bother to serve me, turns out my order was ready the entire time
I ordered takeout from this place. I know that restaurants live & die by these reviews so I don't say this lightly. Do not eat here. The chicken curry made me *literally* call 911 because I thought I had been poisoned. I can not describe the experience of eating the green, greasy sauce with unidentifiable spices, incredible & unexpected heat & an odd chemical taste I couldn't get out of my mouth for hours after. Some of the sides (rice, plantain) were relatively decent but the rest was not fit for human consumption. I have contacted the city health department. Avoid this place.
Brought my grandparents & we all had a great time! Not your normal dine-in place, but the service was great, as was the food, & they were very patient with us, despite the million questions asked.
& the doubles were incredible!
They had jerk chicken, & I had the Lambi (conch)
Faybee's is more of a take-out place, there are however a few tables if you want to be seated. The food is great! The roti's & plates are well proportioned & nicely seasoned. Very much recommended!
Have to bring down the rating because this is one of the most inconsistent restaurants I've ever eaten from. Sometimes, the food is amazing. Truly, the very best version of itself. Other times, they just throw the worst chicken scraps, full of bones & with a strange texture, into your plate. Maybe one of their chefs just does not care. This has happened to me several times, including today. When it's great, it's easy to recommend, but it's such a gamble every single time that I don't think I'll go back any time soon.
I ordered the Wham Bham Jerk sub & unfortunately wasn't to pleased. The chicken I'd say was tasty but it unfortunately tasted as if the bread was microwaved to warm up it was very rubbery & the same with my double i also ordered. The double was very dry & rubbery as well.
