Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Pittsburgh Magazine and Pittsburgh City Paper. Updated July 2026.
Kaya · Strip District
Kaya has interpreted Caribbean flavors in the Strip District for decades. Pittsburgh Magazine traces the restaurant's long running identity through festival dishes, island spices, seafood, and generous communal energy. The menu moves across the region while maintaining a clear tropical point of view in both food and drinks.
ShadoBeni - Trinidadian Vegan Cuisine · North Side
ShadoBeni translates Trinidadian cooking into a fully vegan North Side menu. Pittsburgh City Paper describes a balance of sweet heat, earthy legumes, vegetables, and island seasoning in the brick and mortar restaurant. The focused daytime service gives Pittsburgh a Caribbean option with a distinct identity and clear plant based purpose.
Royal Caribbean Takeout & Delivery · Wilkinsburg
Royal Caribbean serves Jamaican cooking from its current Montier Street kitchen. Pittsburgh City Paper's review documents jerk, curry, fish, and shrimp dishes, while the operating model emphasizes takeout and delivery. The move from its earlier East Liberty address did not change the menu's focus on direct, comforting island flavors.
