Many of the best meals here consist of chicken, whether you get Jerk, brown stew, or curry chicken. However, other meats like oxtail, shrimp, and goat often accompany these amazing sides and rice.

We do recommend getting the fried plantains if you’ve never tried them before, because they are a real treat every time.

They also offer a few Jamaican options for drinks, including ginger beer, Ting, or Jamaican soda.

Top everything off with a dessert of sweet potato pudding or Jamaican carrot cake, and you’ll be full and happy. Even if you have leftovers, it’s easy to take them home to enjoy later on.
