In the heart of Camden, NJ, lies a culinary gem that transports diners to the sun-kissed shores of the Caribbean. Despite its unassuming exterior, Giza Caribbean Cuisine captivates with its vibrant flavors and generous portions, making it a must-visit for any food enthusiast craving an authentic taste of the islands.


Upon stepping into Giza, you may not be greeted by opulent decor or breathtaking views, but what awaits inside is a culinary adventure that promises to tantalize your taste buds. One standout dish that has captured the hearts and palates of patrons is their Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas and Cabbage.
The star of the show, the Jerk Chicken, is a testament to culinary mastery. Grilled to perfection, each succulent piece boasts a tantalizing blend of spices that infuse every bite with an explosion of flavor. Juicy on the inside with a perfectly charred exterior, it’s a testament to the chef’s expertise and commitment to quality.


Accompanying the chicken is a symphony of flavors and textures that elevate the dish to new heights. The cabbage, cooked to perfection, offers a delightful crunch and a subtle sweetness that balances the heat of the jerk seasoning. Meanwhile, the rice and peas, a staple of Caribbean cuisine, provide a comforting backdrop with their tender grains and hearty, flavorful beans.


What truly sets Giza apart is not just the exceptional quality of their food, but also their commitment to affordability. Despite the generous portions and top-notch ingredients, diners will find that their wallets remain pleasantly intact—a rarity in today’s culinary landscape.


Giza Caribbean Cuisine may not boast the glitz and glamour of high-end dining establishments, but what it lacks in ambiance, it more than makes up for in flavor and value. Whether you’re a seasoned Caribbean food aficionado or a curious newcomer, a visit to Giza promises a culinary journey that will leave you craving more.

Island Dreams Cuisine – Camden, NJ

Island Dreams Cuisine – Camden, NJ

1

What a delight, or should I say a dream dining here. South Jersey has had a mix of Jamaican restaurants come and go. Some have been great. Some have been terrible. For one reason or another it has never really taken off like I assumed it would years ago. I don’t know why it took me so long to try Island Dreams Cuisine, but my guess would be that due to Donkey’s Place sitting right across the street I always just went there. Well I can say now I will be torn. Island Dreams Cuisine is one of the best Jamaican in South Jersey right now. It’s a tiny little place without much ambiance, but it’s the food that really matters and the food was delicious. I had a large jerk chicken with rice and peas and cabbage and carrots. With Donkey’s Place recently spotlighted on the New Jersey Bourdain Food Trail and a new throng of visitors dining there, I’ll know when the crowds are too large at Donkey’s, I can just walk across the street to still get a great meal.
