Sylvia's

“Great atmosphere, lovely staff and amazing service.”

Friendly family vibes at this Jamaican counter-serve eatery within steps of Poughkeepsie train station. Order a small, medium or large platter with choice of main and select sides. Goat Curry, with rice and beans, mac n’ cheese and cabbage — solid though served a bit more room temperature than desired. Other mains include fried and jerk chicken, oxtails. Selection of Jamaican beef patties ready for grab-n-go.

I love this place!!! I swear I tried every Jamaican restaurant in Poughkeepsie and surrounding areas, and this one is by far the best! They season their food really well, and it always taste so fresh! I literally will not order curry, chicken, plantain, or cornbread from anywhere else. The people are super nice and welcoming, and the service is amazing!

Oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage and meat pie. All authentic and I enjoyed it all. The only thing I shared off this meal is the picture. You know it's good when they care enough to deliver the same quality they serve in the restaurant.

I love Jamaican good. There are a few spots here in Poughkeepsie NY. Sylvia's is one of the best Jamaican restaurants in NY. I ordered oxtails, rice and peas, cabbage today with a beef patty nd cheese on cocoa bread. There cocoa bread and patties are so fresh they never disappoint. There oxtails... fall off the bone literally, always fresh and delicious. There customer service and atmosphere always welcoming, great place to visit if you are in the area.
