Die besten karibische Restaurants in Douglaston

the guac and fried plantain appetizer was extremely tiny. there were 4 small-ish fried plantains and the guac was in this tiny metal container, like the one you get ketchup in. there was barely any. i dont think that was even a whole avocado. taste was ok. the fish dish that i got was very good. this is what i order every time i go there. my friend liked her goat dish. red velvet dessert was very good and affordable. i was not happy that they run out of the sparklers for the birthday dessert. i wrote on open table that we were celebrating my friend's bday so you would think they would reserve a sparkler for you. two other tables got the sparklers before us. and they didn't play the birthday music like they did for the 2 other tables. what were we, chopped liver? the music was nice and lively but it was way too loud. you had to scream across the table to hear each other.

I went to celebrate my birthday with family and close friends. I had such a great time at Jalao. The food was great. The staff were so friendly and kind.

Have been here several times. two points of note. First, the restaurant was virtually empty this visit and so very quiet. Can't say would be same if busy. Also, for those who check restaurant grades - as I do - three grades (and certificates) are listed. One "A" and two "Not yet graded". Caused confusion. However, I called Dept of Health to ask about this and they said last inspection in July 2024 was "A". I mentioned this to manager.

Had a great birthday experience. Definitely will be back.

Service was great and the patio space is a must for date night.
