Restaurants in Jamaica Plain

“Amazing food and bookstore!”

“This location has seating inside which is why I like this location better than the original. Clean facilities. Nice staff. No public restrooms. On the expensive side so bring your credit cards 💳. Give this place a try if you’re in the area. We will definitely be going back.”

“Went to the Jamaica Plains location. Very friendly staff, food was ready quickly and tasty. 10/10 recommend.”

“Whoever bakes their scones has a gift!”

“Wooooow! Wife and I are visiting from SC and both agreed that we’d turn into regulars here if we lived in Boston. The birria was maybe the best I’ve ever had, guac was so fresh, and the service was excellent. We have Abuela’s marked on our map for our next visit to Boston, we’ll be back!!!”

“The food here is absolutely incredible. Service in regard to how quickly the food is prepared is a little slow at times when they are very busy, but that it to be expected, and the food quality and how quickly they seat you and their attentiveness more than makes up for it. This is a regular spot for me and my family/friends.”

“Absolutely love Juicy Greens in JP! 🥰🥰”

“A first rate fishmonger in Jamaica Plain! Top quality and good variety of fresh seafood at reasonable prices. The limited takeout and in store foods are good too. Support local small business at this unique store.”

“Best lunch buffet. I especially like the Palak Paneer (cottage cheese and spinach).”

“Great little spot we found today! My daughter had a delicious salad and I had the fish sandwich! Very good, clean and friendly service!”

“The food is great and short wait time.”

“I feel like this is one of the best things that could happen to chicken I love it nice and crispy and sweet the tables and floors are clean and the services is amazing. They should open one up pin hyde park. I tell all my friends to try this chicken they love it

Kid-friendliness: The always speak to the kids and ask them about their day. And smile”

“The best Venezuelan empanada with ham and cheese I have had in Boston! Freshly served and a filling size. The cachapa was also deliciy, moist and you can taste the corn! Was lucky to have it served with Queso De Mano and perníl (shredded pork). Also the best papelón I have had in a very long time. Reminded me of my childhood in Venezuela. The staff was attentive, friendly and patient with all my questions as it was my first visit. Can’t wait to return for breakfast for a cafecito and an empanada.”

“This place is great! I get the carne Frita with arroz de morro y yuca con cebolla . (Pictured on my review)If you want chicken, the combo Dominicano is also amazing - you get a half roasted chicken with 2 sides - they have cho fan rice which is Chinese rice aswell. The relleno de yuca is so good too must try! There is no seating , you just grab your food to go. They definitely give you a good amount of food,which is why I love it there,they have small medium and large portion sizes .”

“lobster empanadas and on the spot freshly made. would go again. young lady at the end should have came to front spoke great English. the gentleman tried his best and blonde head papi helped me quite a bit muy quapo dark stranger. would recommend going my 1st time today”

“A great gem my daughter and I went to while she was visiting from California . The monkey bread muffin definitely a treat along with the peanut butter explosion coffee Thank you for your kindness”

“Excellent local JP coffee shop, super friendly and warm staff. My daughter has a number of food allergies (non-nut as well) and they are excellent answering all of my questions. She loves going!”

“I love this little bakery SO much. Easily one of the coolest places in Boston. And their croissants/tarts/pies/BREADPUDDINGS are my downfall... and I mean that in the best way possible.”

“New favorite no frills breakfast place in JP with healthy options but also bacon”

“Life alive Café
I love the decor of their restaurants . The people are really friendly here. Just remember when you walk in grab a menu figure out what you want and then they’ll bring it to your table. The smoothies and teas are delicious. I’ve had salads and warm bowls. Very healthy and worth the price.”

“steak burrito Santa fe chicken salad the best dressing”

“Delicioso todo! Recomendado 100% y la menor atención”

“This place is really unexpectedly great. Large portions of tasty, very freshly-made Mexican and Tex-Mex fare, lots of options for vegetarians (and some for vegans!), and very friendly people running the place. Absolutely recommended for a quick meal, or for take-out, which I think most folks opt for, but they miss the great selection of soccer games.

(Yes, the place is small but it's lovely to sit for a quick meal too!)”

“Great food, great service! Our server Omar was fantastic 😊”

“We were in Boston with nine of us staying in the Jamaica plains neighborhood and stopped here for coffee and pastries every morning. The staff kind of adopted us as we are diehard Redsox fans from Iowa. I loved the Spiced Pear lattee as well as other drinks. The patries were amazing as well but it was the staff that made us feel at home.”

“I got a bento box w/ chicken teriyaki and added extra teriyaki sauce I definitely recommend! It came w/ chicken teriyaki, chicken dumplings, vegetables, California roll definitely worth the 13.50$ I spent ! I recommend this place to you! The portion is definitely fair and they don’t rip you off .”

“Moved to the neighborhood in June. First time going here. Heard the gyros were good and that their chicken was good. So I decided to try both. The recommendations were not wrong. That was absolutely delicious. Great cuts of chicken. Soft and tender. Normally take out chicken is tough and gristly. I’ve never eaten 10 buffalo tenders in one sitting before. I did today. The gyro was very tasty. Simple basic ingredients that compliment each other. If this is how the rest of the menu is, it is definitely a perk to living over here. Two thumbs up…”

“Just ordered from the Food Wall. Very easy ordering over the phone. Very fast delivery by very courteous drive and all at a very fair price. We ordered Crab Rangoon, Scallion Pancake, eggplant in garlic sauce and chicken with string beans. All 5 stars. The rangoon was one of the best I've had anywhere. Thanks, Food Wall.”
