Leon's Caribbean Restaurant 823 East Warrington Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15210

"This restaurant is an absolute gem, especially any place like Pittsburgh that doesn't have much diversity or many ethnic restaurants. I had the jerk chicken and it was every bit as good, if not better, then the jerk chicken I've had in the islands. 10/10. It is not cheap but the portions are big and it's more than obvious that every entree is made with love. The owner came out to greet me and my boyfriend and was super nice. Easy parking. Easy to get to. This place will go in our family's rotation."

"There was a party in my mouth!!! Once I ate this food I was hooked. I obsessively think about it. So delicious, fresh quality ingredients. So many flavors. Amazing!!!!"

"My other half and I have eaten here multiple times and have never eaten anything we didn't love. Their curry chicken and jerk chicken are amazing, their cabbage is always flavorful, and the portions we've had both dine in and to go have been great. And the plantains!! I absolutely love them, but I was heartbroken the last time I ordered them. I drove 20+ minutes just to get their plantains, and they were no where near what I've had previously. I was heartbroken! They were cut into huge chunks, were so dry and weren't edible at all. I really hope whoever prepared them like that was just having a bad day or something! I uploaded pics to show what I'm used to having, and what I was given at my last visit, which should have never been served. I won't let that one experience take away my rating for their food tho, every experience I've had before this had been 5 stars +!"

"This place was so fast and really hit the spot. And they have completely improved the atmosphere since taking over the building. The curry chicken, rice and beans were so good and the cabbage was buttery and delicious."

"This is my first time having Caribbean food. Wow, wow, wow! I am so surprised that this food was so delicious. It was truly fantastic. Today, I tried out the brown stew chicken, rice and peas, plantains, shredded chicken patty, and a peanut butter crunch dessert. The brown stew chicken was surprisingly flavorful and satisfying. It fell off the bone! This chicken was definitely not white meat, which is what I typically enjoy, but it was definitely quite good. There was a decent amount of meat on the chicken for just $10, and the portion was satisfying. I loved the brown stew sauce! So tasty. There was some fat covering the chicken I had to take off (not too appealing to me), but other than that, very good. I also thought the rice and peas were quite tasty. They once again gave me a good portion. The side came for free with the "Just a Taste" meal. The 'peas' aren't actually peas: they are kidney beans. I recommend soaking up the rice with the stew sauce to make it extra tasty. The cornbread was a nice addition to the meal. It was moist and had a nice, mild but lightly sweet flavor. The chicken patty was a bit spicier than I thought it would be. It seemed to have some sort of sauce inside, too. But, it was flaky and delicious nonetheless. The plantains were near perfect. You definitely have to try them out since they are so cheap (just $2) and you get 4 thick pieces. Perfectly caramelized, great texture, and nice sweetness. The peanut butter crunch pie was a little small especially for it being $4. But, the flavor was great. Chunks of peanuts, chocolate crust, peanut butter whipping, chocolate pieces. Not sure if it was homemade, but way better than many store bought peanut butter pies. All in all, this was a great place to first try Caribbean cuisine. I loved almost everything I got and the portions as well as prices were both reasonable. I'm motivated to start eating this type of food more often!"
