Ninth Square Market Too Caribbean Style

This family-run joint is hands-down the best restaurant in New Haven! The food, people, place and overall vibe is out of this world.
I've been there a few times and each time has been amazing and led me to refer so many people to a lovely vegan meal here.
But my most recent visit was by far the best and kindest service I have ever received! The jerk tofu and sweet potatoes are my favourite and when I went in, they said it would take some time as they are still preparing it - we waiting eagerly.
Quelin and Martin are so kind and gave my friend and I new food items to try to thank us for waiting.
We got the 5 combo meal and by the end of our experience, we had easily gotten double the amount of already large portions! I am so happy to have this kind of restaurant so close to me, especially with the humble and kind-hearted people that run it.
I cannot wait to go back and bring everyone I know with me.
If I could give more stars, I would!

Best vegan food I’ve had in New Haven, as a longtime local vegan.
This place is an unassuming family owned business that clearly puts a lot of TLC into their food.
I ordered the small combo plate and chose the curry tofu, mac and cheeze, and cabbage, and everything was incredible.
Vegan mac is one of my favorite foods so it was a pleasant surprise to enjoy the tofu and cabbage just as much, if not more.
If you’re looking for the perfect cozy curry sauce, this place has you covered.
The spices on the cabbage were incredible.
They were very kind, and it was sweet to see an older woman dancing to the music they were playing.
Absolutely FIRE food and great energy in that place, even from my quick stop in to pick up my phone order.
I was curious about their story and loved reading the “about” on their website - they’re long time local residents bringing nutritious, local vegan food to New Haven.
Looking forward to trying more of the menu :)

Was seriously blown away by the food here, small unassuming place from the outside but the cutest, family-owned spot.
Super super delicious vegan Caribbean-style food, we got the 7 options plate and shared between 3 people.
We had the jerk tofu, curried tofu, curried chickpeas, sweet potato, stewed eggplant, green beans, and plantains.
Everything was AMAZING! The jerk tofu was a standout, but the sweet potatoes and dirtier chickpea were awesome too!!
