Let me start by just saying that this is the first time that I've ever had jerk pork fried rice and it was both the best fried rice and best jerk pork that I've ever had. This food was so delicious. The patties were wonderful and the curry oxtail was a first, but definitely won't be a last because it was lovely. Good pricing, great service, and glorious food. Did I mention that the portion sizes are very generous?
The food here is so good. It honestly threw me off because it was 2 asian people behind the counter but they had deep jamaican accents. They have a sign above the register that says "Yes We Are Jamaican" Lol
They were really nice and the food was so good. Got 2 beef patties and jerk chicken dinner. I will definitely be back when in Miami.
Got take out from this cute spot for the first time and the food reminded me of being back in Jamaica. We ordered the jerk chicken plate with rice & peas and plantains; the Chinese chicken plate with white rice and plantains; 1 spicy beef patty and 1 mild beef patty; and rum cake. All delicious! The service was also very kind and friendly. :) thank you!
All I can say is WOW. So I love watching Diners, drive in and dives. Guy featured this place on an episode and I also follow a south florida foodie that features different places in south florida and he raved about the curry oxtails. I have never had curry oxtails. Only the traditional oxtails. I live in Ft. Lauderdale but will drive anywhere for good food. The drive today was soooooo worth it. The curry oxtails are past amazing. I got a quart, and three different Patties. My god, I see why this restaurant was featured. My family and I are going back down to Kendall next weekend just to get away and we will be back there. The only oxtails I want are curry now lol, thanks to Jamaica Kitchen. Amazing food, courteous service. I can’t say enough good things about Jamaica kitchen. I saw reviews where people travel far to come here. I’ll be one of them. Outstanding.
HORRIBLE!! Don’t ever go here if you want “authentic” Jamaican food! The place in itself is super claustrophobic and not clean it smells like old oil and curry that’s been sitting and fermenting! The customer service isn’t great the cashiers always have attitude for everything even if you’re just simply trying to order. The Jamaican patties taste like cardboard and never have enough meat in them! The cake they serve is clearly store bought from the Winn Dixie cause you can tell it’s not homemade. They resell food at a higher price that isn’t worth it! DONT EAT HERE! Unless the health department goes with you then maybe you’re safe! This is coming from personal experience and I’m a resident of the area and have even taken my family there and I can’t tell you it is far from worth it!! You would think after all the years they’ve been there they would step it up but I guess not!👎🏼
I wish I could give this place more stars, it’s incredible!! Their patties are insanely delicious, so flavorful and feels like home cooked food. The spicy beef and chicken curry were our favs, they are large enough to share or the perfect meal solo, and only $3 per patty! Their jerk chicken meal was amazing as well, huge portions, comes with rice and peas, and fried plantains. The staff was so friendly. Dreaming of this place already!
Husband and wife run restaurant with fantastic food, and amazing customer service. We ordered the Goat Curry, Jerk Chicken, Curry Ox Tail and more...all were sooooo good. Oh, they have a small selection of groceries too.
We went to Jamaica Kitchen for the first time today, everything was absolutely delicious. We were the last customers before they closed, and actually stayed after. Everyone was so nice to us and our two kids, and got us treats and extra food in the end too. They told us they were catering for Rita Marley during the holidays! A must try and we cannot wait to go back!
