Est. Irvington, NJ
Every plate at Sticky's carries the warmth of the islands — slow-smoked jerk, hand-rolled roti, and recipes passed down through generations, right here on Clinton Avenue.
What We Do Best
Scotch bonnet-infused jerk chicken, pork, and fish — slow-smoked over pimento wood until the spice penetrates every layer.
Hand-rolled dub plak and curry breads, filled with goat, chickpea, vegetable, or chicken — cooked fresh to order every day.
Coconut rice and peas, fried plantains, yucca, coleslaw, and callaloo — the essential companions to any Sticky's meal.
Our Story
Sticky's started the way the best meals always do — around a crowded kitchen table, with a recipe card stained by decades of use and a house full of people who wouldn't let anyone leave hungry.
Our founder grew up watching her mother transform simple ingredients — coconut, scotch bonnet, thyme, curry leaves — into meals that felt like celebrations. Every dish carried a story: a holiday in Trinidad, a Sunday in Barbados, a quiet evening in a Brooklyn apartment where the neighbors could smell it from the street.
When Sticky's opened its doors on Clinton Avenue, that same spirit walked through them. We don't chase trends or fuse cuisines for the sake of it. We cook the way our family cooked — with patience, with heat, and with the kind of love that makes you stay for seconds.
