Absolutely fantastic! Been wanting to try Jamaican food for a while and decided to give it a try while i was at the mall and was not disappointed at all! The lady running the place was super kind and let me try a small taste test to make sure it was not to spicy for me (I'm white as heck lmao) but the food was awesome and my wife loved the beef patty!! We WILL be back again!! Thank you :)
This is a great place one of the best Jamaican food i’ve tired, very authentic as well. All the meat is cooked perfectly and tender. Service is absolutely amazing and I reckoned anyone to give it at try. Personally my favourite are the curry goat and oxtail.
Unreal flavour added with very tender chicken. I payed for a large which cost as much as a large form any other restaurant, and it was packed with a ton of food. Very very good, if you can handle your spice, I highly recommend this place over any other of the options.
I decided to stop at Jamaican jerk shak in West Ed. The staff, I think owner actually was very friendly and sociable, the food was so delicious and the macaroni salad OMG! I definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food.
If you're looking for real, homemade food made with care and love, you have to try Jamaican Jerk Shake! I ordered rice with goat meat and chicken, and honestly, it was one of the most delicious meals I’ve had in a food court. The goat meat was rich, tender, and full of flavor, and the chicken leg had an absolutely magical grilled taste—perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection. What made the experience even more special was the incredibly warm and welcoming service. The lady there was just like a caring mom—kind, genuine, and full of warmth. She treated us like guests in her home, not just customers, and was very generous with the portions, even giving us more than a standard serving. Great portion size, high quality, amazing taste, and a genuine homemade feeling—something that’s hard to find these days. Definitely one of my best food experiences. I’ll absolutely be coming back and highly recommend everyone to give it a try!
