West Indies Market - Poughkeepsie

NICEST PEOPLE HERE! Fantastic food. Every time I have visited, the customers and the staff are always incredibly sweet one person even went out of her way to check for me if they had beef patties left! The beef patties are amazing, the mixed veggies and cabbage were seasoned so well. Fried plantains were good, and the oxtail was delicious! They usually have limited stocks of food, which is okay even if I miss out on some food because then you know it's fresh. If you want all the good stuff (like the dumplings usually sell out quick), come here exactly at or their posted breakfast and lunch times!

I did not expect to find a Jamaican restaurant in Poughkeepsie. Its been years since I aet such cuisine. The jerk chicken was very tasty. Overall it was a delicious meal. The beer had a good taste. Just a walk a few blocks and your able to enjoy good food with such view. I recommend this restaurant.

Being new to the town of poughkeepsie it was our pleasure to see a jamaican restaurant open at 8am on Saturday. Not only that... the food was amazing and we will be going back for more!!!

This is a fantastic restaurant that reminds me of the Caribbean places I love to visit when I'm in Miami. They serve cowfoot on Fridays, along with oxtails, curry goat, and jerk dishes. I'm in paradise with options like these!

- Authenticity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Quality: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Taste: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Service: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - Staff: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have absolutely no complaints about this amazing establishment. The staff here is genuine and respectful. The quality and flavor of the food surpasses that of any other West Indian or Jamaican restaurant in the area. As a Jamaican myself, I truly appreciate how they prioritize the authenticity of the dishes without overly adapting them for an American audience. Their approach proves that authentic Jamaican cuisine can thrive. I will continue to be a devoted supporter of this restaurant, and I highly recommend that anyone in search of REAL Jamaican food stop by (or call ahead) to try their offerings. You won’t be disappointed!
