Caribreeze Vegetarian Cuisine-Spring Valley NY. Excellent Find!
It's always a wonderful experience to discover a funky place serving unique, delicious, affordable food. Caribreeze is as "chowhound" as you can get! Walking in it looked like just another Jamaican takeout with a high counter and only three or four tables. A friendly grandmotherly Jamaican woman described about six dishes (the menu changes daily). All unusual vegetarian concoctions. All Caribbean, with some Jamaican dishes (vegetarian patties were available). She gave me a taste of each and I couldn't decide because they were all SO delicious! Lots of "mock" chicken curries.I ended up ordering a large $9 plate sampler and it was a bargain. There was a giant bean dish that really knocked my socks off. In many ways this place reminds me of the now defunct Green Symphony restaurant in Port Chester, only I like Caribreeze even better.
If Caribreeze were located in Westchester I would be eating there two or three times a week. Since I'm over in Rockland once a week, this will be a regular stop. Unfortunately I know of no other restaurant like this anywhere.

Yes, went back today and they did have Roti but the menu changes. Many unusual dishes like Vegetarian Jamaican patties, green banana, vegee ackee, jerk potatoes, fresh coconut water. whole wheat dumplings, etc. The lima bean stew was especially good.

We've just moved into the neighborhood and every day we say, we gotta try this place. So I went with a buddy and had lunch. We tried everything on the menu. From mild to spicy and extra spicy, all was great.
I was so full for the remainder of the day, I didn't eat until breakfast as the portion size and value for the money was awesome.
There are 4 tables and the atmosphere is comfortable, welcoming and friendly. If you are looking for a Jamaican video or a storage container to send to the islands, also a place to get one as well.
But we went for food, great value for the money, daily changing menu so you never know what's up each day other than a few standards like Spicy Jerk Chunks and a mild chicken chunk dish. If you want a real spicy selection, try the chilli. Red Beans and TVP, was great!
I'll go back, be surprised and then leave full to come back another day.
