At Idrass Kitchen they have this dish called Rosta Posta. If you like spicy food then youll love it. ❤️ 😋🍽
My curried goat was delicious! Friendly service and good food. The veggie fritters are yummy.
This food was HORRIBLE the food was nasty they had close to nothing there the lady’s over the phone were SO RUDE when we walked in all they were doing was sitting down not making ANY fresh food their food tasted stale and it tasted like they were white this place needs to be shut down ASAP I suggest never to go to this place unless you want a horrible horrible dinner
The food is delicious. Great hospitality. My family and I go there regularly. The curry chicken, rice & peas, and roti are my daughter’s favorite…mine also.When you go, tell them Sedeah sent you 😊
First time customer. Me and my boyfriend got the curry chicken and jerked chicken. Both were ridiculously good. The meat was still on the bone and super tender. Both dishes were super flavorful, seasoned to perfection. The rice and beans were out of this world, and the plantains were sweet and moist (I HATE dry plantains--these was awesome). I literally cant wait for the next time Im in Middletown.
The food is good but she rip you off on the Rusta pasta portion size. Dont believe me ? Order rasta pasta by itself and youll see what Im talking about.
Outstanding service ! Great food the dhal is delicious 🤤 purchased the Chana dhal and roti so good 😊
Awesome atmosphere. The energy here took me out of N.Y for a moment. The food is season with love and is scrumptious. Try the ox tails or chicken.
Good stuff! Curry chicken roti was flavorful with a good amount of spice and filling. Side of mac is hefty but a little bland. Food was fresh and the price ($10 for both items) is super reasonable. Loved that she informed us that the chicken had bones when we asked for the roti wrapped. Will definitely stop in again when in the area.
Wow! I was pretty far from home but this food made me feel like I never left! Amazing flavors, Mac and cheese to die for, and the eggplant curry and rice was absolutely ABSOLUTELY the best I’ve ever had!I’d spend my money here before I spent it on overly fried food, made with little or no effort. You can taste the care and love that goes into each dish. I will definitely be returning!
I drove an hour just for Indira’s food. Ox tail, jerk chicken are my favorites.I love the family feeling I get when I enter the store. Thank you Indira for the wonderful food.
Live music, incredible food, and they even had some vegetarian options ❤️
I like this place and frequent it enough for the owner to recognize us and she’s always sweet to my daughter. But today I had asked if they could substitute something for the sides they did not have. They still had their sign up stating the sides are included but don’t even have enough sides to cover them until they close. I don’t get how you close at 7 but ran out of sides hours before close and don’t bother to make more during dinner time. Cabbage and plantains do not take long to make. That’s what I call laziness and bad for business. Nothing comes free even though she said plantains and cabbage are free. I’ve learn about cost control through food service and every item is factored into the price, so if your missing sides that are supposed to be in the meal than you should either be substituting or giving a discount if you can’t keep your food in supply. Or at least take the sign down! Sadly I won’t be returning here. The woman working the counter could have at least acknowledged that I am a frequent customer instead of getting sarcastic and a bit rude. And it was not the owner it was one of her older employees but the owner sat there and said nothing.
Alright so if your yearning for some West Indian food I highly highly suggest you try this spot. Never had rasta pasta but it slapped, the aloo an eggplant tasted like it came from home and roti a little small for my liking but nonetheless it was on point. Price wise your not gonna break the bank here. All this place needs is a couple older folks in the corner drinking an playing cards.
This is our favorite Caribbean Restaurant! The food is so delicious! Our favorite is Curry Goat with their rice. Also love the Plantains. Its all gooood!
They have the best Caribbean food Ive ever tasted so far in ny, and Ive been to many places but none compare to this. The food is very authentic and I love that they have theyre spices shipped from home, makes it all the much better. Pricing is very affordable and servings are more than enough. The sisters, are very nice and always make you feel welcomed.
Been here once, and its a pretty decent place. Had the Curry goat and oxtails with white rice. Food was excellent. Staff was friendly. Plenty of parking, outdoor seating and a great view of a stream.
God bless. Today I dined at this restaurant and it felt as I was away somewhere in the Caribbean while here in Cuomo run NYS. The music was great and if you look north youll see what appears to be a forest. Your imagination can run wild. Just focus north. If you look south you back in Middletown, NY. I saved the best for last. The food was SLAMMING and authentic Caribbean food. The Ox tail was devoured cause it was well seasoned and the portion was so genercous. I could not eat all. The rice, sweet plantain and cabbage was on point. I will most definitely be back here again and strongly recommend 👌 💯 this place. The staff were very friendly. Thank you so much. Great atmosphere even though it was raining. Thought I was back in 🇯🇲.
Food is amazing. Everything is filled with flavour and the environment of the restaurant is so welcoming and cute. The customer service is outstanding. Definitely recommend eating here!
I was sent down to the city for some work this week. I got hungry on the way. My employer knows I love Caribbean cuisine. So he told me I had to stop at a small place in Middletown NY called Indirass Kitchen. The food indeed is incredible and the folks there could not have been nicer. Incredible food and service. The jerk chicken was some of the best iv ever had. The chicken was slow cooked to perfection making it simply fall off the bone. I also got to try a classic Caribbean dessert cassava pone. Which was beyond delicious and I highly recommend it for anyone. Especially those who like a good taste of fresh ginger.All in all highly recommend it. I will definitely be stopping on the way home in a couple days.
Indira & her staff are wonderful! Treated me like family from the moment I walked thru the door. Portions were great. Taste was great. Prices very reasonable. Been there more than once & will continue to return. FINALLY some authentic Caribbean cuisine in the neighborhood. And, believe me, Ive tried them ALL. Highly recommend!
Food is great has good flavor I ordered a large curry goat was amazing the only thing is I felt they could have put a little more food in for the price you pay ...still good though
Owner was very nice! Food was amazing the look and feel of the store gave me strong island vibes! I Drove all the way from Newburgh to Middletown just for the great food!!
The food is very good, the service is friendly, they have reasonable prices, and its something unique in the area.
Absolutely magical and scrumptious place! The owners are fabulous and you can tell they bless the food with skill, warmth, and gratitude. Cant wait to come back!
Food was great. Didn’t come hot more luke warm. But the worst part was the plantains. They weren’t fresh. Stiff and hard. That was unpleasant. The rest was pretty good. But for the money you spend you want everything fresh. 👎🏽
Delicious Great food and flavor some spicy! Nice size portion and reasonable priced! Lunch specials too 😀👍
Recently just tried the food with my husband. It is amazing. Aside from a spot in NYC, the best Ive tasted. Tried oxtail, curry chicken, Mac and cheese, rice and beans, plantains and cake. All very good. Will be back.
The food here is absolutely Delicious! The taste of the food is definitely Authentic & you will feel like youre in your Ma or Grandmas kitchen!
This place is so delicious. We live in Brooklyn and have had plenty of Caribbean food but this place takes the cake! Wish we lived closer to come all the time. Also the staff are so so nice.
Was very excited to try this place had driven past it a few times. I finally had time to have a sit down meal. To my surprise all the food was pre made. But the staff seemed pleasant so i placed my order from one of the 4 meat options. And then my food was placed in a bag. As if to say get out! I was very put off by that gesture. So proceed to drive to a parking lot around the corner that had trees to may be enjoy the day a bit as well. Apon opening my food I took my first bite of plantaines they were cold then found a dark hair in my rice. Very unfortunate. I will not be bringing my business back again .
Food I had was excellent! Had the jerk chicken with rice, beans & platanos. Heat and spices of the chicken was amazing. Very rich. You get a lot of food for the price as well. You need to go there and try for yourselves. Nothing like it in the area.
Very friendly people and the food is great I love it. Id recommend this place to anyone
The owner is an amazing Guyanese cook! The food is delicious and a real example of the culture
I always look forward to eating here. The food is fresh and staff is super friendly/ helpful. You constantly want to stuff your face to the point were you get Itis. Incredible
Just had lunch there, everything was delicious, especially the fried fish, talked to the owner, she was very nice!
Good place to dine with the family.Food was great. Strongly recommend
Great food, good portions, and really nice people!
Excellent food 😋 Customer service w/a 😃 Genuiune atmosphere, Everything on the menu worth trying twice!!
Looking for amazing, flavorful jerk chicken..this is the place. Just stopped in to give it a try and the food speaks for itself.
Delicious food warm hospitality love this place so much when i want good west indian food best in Middletown .
I’m not going here again. I just came from from there and the food was terrible. Rice and peas watered down, jerk chicken super dry . No flavor. There are some days where it’s ok but today was the second time I had them and they were awful. I think they have different cooks and whomever cooked today needs assistance
Delicious, fresh, home cooked and very relaxing atmosphere and excellent service.
I had the food for the first time last week ,I thought it tasted good and I will partake again when possible.
I had an excellent time at this restaurant. We liked the awesome environment and the food. The staff are super friendly. I am glad we finally managed to try this place.
Great food. Buffet/cafeteria style makes for quick service. My food was fresh, well flavored with big portions for reasonable price. Service is helpful and friendlyDecor isnt 5 star. Its basic with some seating.Mainly jerk and Caribbean style curries, goat, oxtail, chicken, shrimp, fish on menu
The food was not what I expected at all but was edible. This restaurant definitely needs more options in non-meat options or at least more fish options and I think it could draw more people! I gave 4 stars because it has parking and tables outside if you want to eat there in nice weather. Close to mall also!
This was our first time and we absolutely loved it!! We had the goat with the rice and sweet bananas. The flavor is really good with just the right amount of spiciness to it (that being said we both like spicy food). Very friendly staff, will be definitely coming here again!!
Great jerk chicken and Nan at a good price. Great outside summer porch dining.
Fantastic food full of flavor. Awesome place to eat!
Delicious food, great price, great service, good location nice amount of parking available.
The food was good and you get your moneys worth
Food was awful, oxtail was chewy and tasteless. Giving a one star was a gift. These women cook garbage. Cabbage was chopped and cooked improperly. If they cant take the time to slice cabbage imagine how the other dishes are prepared. DONT EAT IN THIS PLACE.
Excellent indo-caribbean food, at reasonable prices. Tasty goat curry, and warm roti! In Middletown...you cant do better than Indiras. Check it out ASAP.
The people there are so friendly. Greet you with a smile on their face. And the food is magnificent, out of this world
The young lady attending us was very kind and friendly. The food was good and they have a good variety of things to try other than savory food, such as sweets. The tables are pretty small so I dont recommend coming with a large group until the weather clears up and their tables outside become viable to eat at.
When you go into a restaurant you are suppose to smell the food thats being served... you shouldnt have to guess. This Is the Spot!!!! Excellent customer service, this will be one of my regular spots!!!
Ive been to Indiras Kitchen a bunch of times. The food is incredibly good and staff is always friendly. Im so happy they decided to open in Middletown. May God grant them total success!
The value here is so just incredibly good that you would be foolish to pick any of the fast food places around the plaza instead of this place. The lunch special is an amazing amount of food and the taste is just insane. I got the curry chicken with rice and beans and plantains. The two working were really helpful and nice. The outdoor seating has a nice ambience too next to a kind of wooded area with Caribbean music playing and flags around. Great great gem in Middletown.
Very pleased with the food and Indira. She treats you as if she known you all your life. Spice just right. Reminds me of Caribbean food from the city. 😊
Go over and try the food...all of it is good. There is something for everyone
Placed an order at 7:15pm on Saturday. Got a call at almost 8pm saying my order had been cancelled with no reason. They hung up and didnt pick up after I called 10 times. Horrible!
Great food and friendly staff. I ordered the ox tails very good. The rum cake was excellent.
Excellent food !!tastes like what my grandma makes
Friendly staff. Delicious food. Lively atmosphere. Loved the oxtails and curry goat. Will be back. Reasonable priced.
Take me back Brooklyn. Love this place love the food. And love that people. Best caribbean cuisine in the entire orange county
Food fresh taste excellent love it sweet ladies you can meet.
The portions are great and the food is always top notch.
Good food, but sometimes it needs a little salt.
Pleasant, friendly environment.Not to mention that the food was delicious with great prices!
They have good food. They should be making ROTI. Something new, plantains or cabbage n carrot. I dont like it they should come together. Also their own hot sauce is good n hot!!!
They had oxtails my husband loved them. Well worth the price excellent staff.
Order stew chicken with brown gravy and white rice and it was just horrible smh tasted old like it was left overs and salty as heck to try to mask the fact that it was old food also the mac&cheese was old like they put it in the microwave to re-heat very disappointed in the food!!
Real authentic food, fresh, and clean place.
Friendly and clean atmosphere! Great tasting food!!
I love Friday’s. Indira’s Stewed Red Snapper is amazing. Can’t wait for Friday to come.
Wonderful place for Carribean food . a warm and welcoming atmosphere by owner and staff a real gem i do wish they would enclose their outdoor patio to allow for more seating alll in all great place for a quick satisfying meal !
The cakes are amazing. The rum cake is beautifully done; it’s soft and not overly sweet with a butter rum glaze.
Excellent food and good price.....and very good portions love it
I enjoyed the curry chicken, cabbage, and rice. Not too spicy. I got the lunch special for $7. Food is already ready. Bathroom was clean. I will be back for the oxtails.
The owners here were super generous. I love the service. Their curry is pretty good, too.
Great customer serviceGreat FlavorGreat Fresh FoodUnlike the area Jamaican/Caribbean establishments...they know how to treat customers...just look at their long lines and look at the other place/places.. and it speaks for itselfKudos!!! Indira May God bless and Favor your establishment.
Food was ok the first time I went I paid $21 for curry goat and oxtail (medium) second time my sister wanted to taste it I ordered the same thing got smaller portions and price went up to $26, my sister got upset and said I shouldnt have bought it, the oxtail was bitter Meaning they browned the sugar too much, the goat was a little bit tough they didnt cook it long enough, they dont have roti per say more like a sada type flat bread that they pass off as roti for true west Indians this is mediocre at Best wouldnt recommend it.
Food was good wish they had more veggitarian options.
Food is by far the best west Indian food in Middletown!
Today was my 2nd time there in two weeks. The food is excellent, however; today there was a new face serving the food, a middle-aged man, who served the smallest of portions - 3 pieces of plantains, 3 pieces of oxtail and maybe a teaspoon of gravy over the rice. Very unhappy. I was charged $9 for something that should have cost $2. Hopefully he will be removed serving in the future. If not, I can see the clientele diminishing!
Guakatelaaaaaaa 🤮🤮🤢 Bad food too expensive $15.00 for one lunch garbage so much so that forced you have to give him a star would give him negative -99⭐👎🏻
The place was very clean. The food was very good!
Best carribian food in the area, only wish the oxtail had more meat. Flavor is incredible.
Excellent food and customer service.
So I thought the price was a little high...... until I tasted the food. Now the value is there!!!! Id pay more for a great meal from this place.
Awesome Food and atmosphere. This place has a nice decor and great flavorful food. Check pictures for menu.
Amazing food!!!!! Keep up the good work everyone!!!!
If your looking for place that had Jerk Chicken or Caribbean food, Indiras is the place to go.
Food was good every Island has their own twist on some common foods but they deliver reliable flavors that youre used to
I find it Overall good food... do try their chicken curry. I think it will be bit spicy for lots of palates but you will like the flavors.I can correlate their curries to more close to indian curries with lot of dry spices used.I think an option to choose mild curries would be better to capture majority returning customers...good luck👍🏽😀Looking forward to catering.
Super nice owners and super delicious food. Outdoor seating 👍👍👍👍👍
Great little place owner is very nice and the curried goat is excellent
Its nice to have a real Caribbean homestyle restaurant in the area as a choice among all these cookie cutter fast food options. Especially when I dont feel like standing over a hot stove for hours or running into the city to get a plate of oxtails. The food is average but the customer service is outstanding. The owner makes you feel right at home. Prices are reasonable. She gets a rush during lunch hours so try to get in there by 11 am. Dont expect a traditional roti but keep in mind that shes adjusting for the area being served...or at least thats the excuse Im going with for the roti that I was served.
Great food, great friendly service, warm, welcoming atmosphere
Friendly staff & great great food?
I from the Caribbean but unfortunately this was a disappointment experience. I noticed the plantains was crunchy and burnt Instead of her switching it to a decent plaintain she just apologized and didn’t care terrible costomer service by far.. the oxtail was under cooked no flavor.
The first time I tried the food was around when they first opened and it was good. I tried a few different things like oxtails and a double. The double wasn’t very flavor but the oxtails were cooked perfect. My 2 recent visits however left me wanting a refund if I lived closer My curry goat was under cooked and so were the oxtails and tasted like pure cinnamon. I should’ve know When I seen the Burnt rice, crunchy Mac & cheese, and black stew chicken but since I’ve had the oxtails before I thought I be fine it seems they are losing pride in their food and just putn stuff together and don’t even get me started on the grease soaked fritters that had absolutely no taste. I really liked this restaurant in the beginning and I’m very dissatisfied in the end. I will not be returning
Bland, mostly rice, &, overpriced. Never again. Would not recommend.
I was hoping for good Caribbean food and I got dry roti, flavorless greasy rice and plantains were also very greasy. It’s a complete skip!If you KNOW Caribbean food, I would AVOID this place at all cost.Drinks were also gross. Also, people behind true counter were not friendly either.
I came out to support the my brethren for having the real authentic food from the Caribbean....but unfortunately it was not good...the oxtail was under cook and the jerk chicken was terrible....sorry I wish you great journey but i will not be a coming back to there....they say first impression is best and this was not at best ...good luck!
Great food and service.
The food is AMAZINGG! Reminds me of back home in Jamaica:)
Great food and service!
Customer service is definitely needed. I felt unwelcomed and rushed to decide, but hey what can you do?!

2021-05-21The atmosphere outside makes you feel like you are in the middle of the Caribbean. The oxtail was fall off the bone and flavorful beyond belief. My husband had the curry chicken and he was also blown away. The ladies working there were very sweet. I definitely will be returning when I am in the area again.
