Jamaican Restaurants in New York, NY

“This place exudes an amazing energy that envelops you. With its distinctive atmosphere and aesthetic, you'd think you were in Jamaica instead of NYC. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The drinks, especially the rum punch, are delightful. Every item on the menu is enticing. I highly recommend beginning with the peppered shrimp as an appetizer. The jerk chicken ramen is a standout, offering remarkable flavor and spice. The best part? After a while, they clear out the chairs and tables, turning the place into a vibrant bashment.Dietary restrictions: Ensuring your safety here has never been an issue for me. The staff is accommodating and open to substitutions, provided you communicate your needs effectively.“

“The food was fantastic. Loved the vibes too. The music was on point. I felt like I was back home in Jamaica. I can’t wait to come back for more. I definitely encourage anyone who lives here in NY or visiting to check out this restaurant. Big Tings a gwaan.“

“I’ve been here twice and gotten the oxtails with, plantains and rice and beans. The flavor is out of this world and the oxtail is incredibly tender. They were also generous with their portion sizes. I really enjoyed the meal so much! They offer a lunch special, medium and large size for dishes.“

“I absolutely love the food. But I've noticed that the Door Dash delivery workers don't knock or at least notify my son and I when they're dropping off the food.There have been two occasions where the food was placed in front of our door not even a knock or a phone call.I'd rather go in person to buy the food the service is way better.“

“I ordered the jerk chicken w/rice and veggies. Dynamite!!! But while waiting, tasted the Mac and cheese, and oxtail…!!! My gosh!!!! He offered to add a little extra MnC, but i said no, so I have another excuse to go back. Seriously delicious!! Sorry, about the pic. All of a sudden, it was gone.“

“Extraordinary.... the welcome was warm and welcoming. The waitress was patient and explained to us the dishes and drinks offered. We were spoiled for choice. Once served we were lucky enough to have 4 places in a high chair. A true luxury. I recommend. If it were possible to eat on site the restaurant would be packed. Prices are really reasonable for eating in NY. Don't change anything.“

“Good authentic Jamaican food.“

“As someone that has been going to Jamaica 2 or 3 times per year for 35 years, I can tell you the Jerk Chicken is some of the best that I have had. I look forward to trying the oxtail stew. Highly recommended. Great Jamaican staff. Ya Mon. Irie!“
