★★★☆☆ 3.0 Melody W · Sep 2025

Ordered oxtail with rice and cabbage along with a soda for lunch. I should have looked at the price beforehand..my eyes almost popped out of my head when the kiosk said $27!! Smh I understand oxtail is expensive but maybe for lunch have a lunch special, because I surely wasn't expecting to pay that price for lunch on a side street in Newark! As for the food, the oxtail was cooked good but not the taste I wanted. This is a Guyanese restaurant and I never had oxtail Guyanese style. Too much anise /cinnamon or something that my tastebuds found overpowering. If that flavor is your cup of tea, enjoy!

This was my first time going to A&J. I actually was looking to buy Jamaican coco bread. The customer service was great but when I got home trying to eat the oxtail with the rice and peas I couldn't. I don't know what type of gravy they made with it, I don't know. It just did not taste right. I couldn't even eat it. Had to throw it out. I wouldn't be going back there again to be honest. As I said the customer service was great. I am from the Caribbean so the taste and quality needs to be on point.

★★★★★ 5.0 Israel Santana · Jul 2023

The place is clean, and the staff is very friendly. The food is phenomenal, and the prices are good. The environment is nice, with flags nicely painted, and the music selection is great. It makes you forget that you are in the city. My wife and I enjoyed: -The rice and beans. -Oxtail. -Stew chicken. -Curry chicken. I truly recommend this place.
