We from New York and it’s been hard to find soul food in the north Bergen-Union city area!! But let’s get to this food now!! It was so good!! Made me feel like I was in the …
Let me just say Exotic Eats in Jersey had me questioning every other soul food spot I've ever been to. From the crispy jerk chicken egg rolls to the buttery blueberry cornbread, every bite was giving flavor, texture, and attitude! The salmon bites over rice? Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside - straight perfection. Don't even get me …
If you’ve never been to Exotic Eats, you’re seriously missing out! It was my first time there, and they let me sample anything I wanted — which is such a nice touch for first-timers. I tried the mac & cheese and candy yams, and it was actually my first time ever having candy yams… and wow, they were amazing! I …
The food was beyond delicious! The mac and cheese was super cheesy and seasoned to perfection. The chicken was fried hard just the way I like it, and the house sauce was absolutely immaculate. Now the blueberry cornbread... THAT'S A MUST-TRY! The macaroni tuna salad was amazing, and the green apple lemonade was so fire. This place definitely earned every …
I came in yesterday and was immediately welcomed, Yancie who I believe is the owner asked if it was our first time. He offered us some samples of food and their homemade drinks. The samples were so yummy and it was really thoughtful to offer samples. Amazing food amazing drinks and amazing service so worth it I wish i tried …
I've eaten here numerous times since they opened about a year ago. The owner Yancie is amazing!! Five stars all around because they go over and beyond for their customers! 🤩 My only complaint for myself is I need to try different things from their menu, it's so diverse and I definitely want to try their oxtail and pasta next. …
Food is fresh and tastes amazing. Everything we ordered was perfect. The potato salad was well seasoned, the blueberry cornbread was delicious. I got the Island Bowl and my boyfriend got the Grilled Chicken dinner with lemon pepper sauce. The sauce tastes exactly how you want your lemon pepper to taste. The Purple Rain drink was so good. Everything was …
This is my 5th order! I’m a pescatarian and only order the seafood. Jerk shrimp was good, salmon was good and the whiting was decent. I’ve only ordered the Mac and cheese, yams and peas and rice. All bomb. Today I ordered again the salmon but baby… today was different, more flavor and cooked to perfection. This price of salmon …

Our first time we met Yami and she was wonderful and helpful! The food was great! 2 time, we ordered from online but when picking up we were remembered! Food was great! 3x we met the owner …
I can’t remember the last time I went to a restaurant where everything was a home run! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm and inviting. I especially loved that they offered samples of their menu before I ordered it made me feel genuinely taken care of. I went with the oxtail, mac & cheese, and rice, …
