Probably the best Jamaican food anywhere in the country… and I’m from NYC and eat in Jamaican in Flatbush ALL the time! Delicious jerk chicken (and pork, which I’ve never seen, but it works incredibly) and oxtail, plus tons of extras and desserts that round out the experience. Supremely hospitable mom ‘n pop team running the place as well. Do yourself a favor and eat here as soon as you can! 11/10
Had really great jerked chicken with coconut rice and their slaw. They’re so friendly too with a pleasant vibe to the place. It’s tucked in a funny spot but don’t let that deter you.Parking: Park right in front of the restaurant no problem.

I had the jerk chicken delivered through Door Dash & it was surprisingly perfect temperature. The chicken, sauce and rice was authentic and flavorful. I will be reordering.

It can be hard to find good Jamaican food when traveling but Phoenix has been doing good. Topnotch has kept up its reputation. Enjoyed my stew peas and gingery sorrel. Good reggae music. I will definitely be back.

It’s a No for me, the food was not giving what I thought it would give. I’ve been to A lot of Jamaican restaurants as I absolutely love Jamaican food and this was the worst I’ve had. The curry goat was very very salty I couldn’t eat it. The portions is also quite small in comparison to other places I’ve been. I’m not sure if it was an off day for the chef seeing as the reviews are good but I definitely expected so much better based on the reviews.

FOOD WAS AMAZING!!! SERVICE AWESOME, WILL DEFINITELY BE COMING
The food was absolutely amazing! Everything was super hot and fresh. However, the waitress was slow to come back and check on my table. I got to meet the chef and he explained how everything is prepared fresh daily. Looking forward to my next visit.
Food was so good ! & The ambience was amazing. You can tell they put their heart ❤️ & soul into this place !!

I was really craving oxtail and I decided to use Uber Eats to find some delicious oxtail. It suggested this place for me so I placed my order and it just arrived. The order looks absolutely beautiful and you can tell that the food is freshly made and that they use quality ingredients. Unfortunately though my oxtail tastes horrible. It has no flavor and it is just extremely salty. Also the rice and peas is completely Bland as well. None of this tastes like Jamaican-style oxtail and the rice and peas does not taste like Jamaican-style either. I always order oxtail and I've tried different places in the valley, and all over the country,And yes some places make it better than others but at least always has the flavor profile that I'm looking for but this is completely lacking it. I would not recommend ordering oxtail from this restaurant. They potentially have other dishes that are delicious although I have not tried anything else as this was my first order I placed. Again the food arrived beautifully, fresh-looking, and vibrant but the flavor is not there for the oxtail. I just threw my $26.00 down the drain because I can't even eat this. I'm literally ordering oxtail from a different place that I've had before and I'm regretting using my free delivery promo to try something new like I did today. I should have just stuck with what I knew.

Last night, my bf & I had the most delicious meal at Topnotch Island Flavor Kitchen! The chicken pumpkin soup was a taste sensation --- the dumplings are the best I've had in a long time. This was the first time I tried goat and the curry goat didn't disappoint --- it was bursting with flavor! The Braised Oxtail fell off the bone --- it was pure comfort on a plate. Shoutout to the owners for being genuinely kind and making us feel like family. Counting down the days until our next visit – this place is a gem!

The mum's fried chicken was amazing. Jamaican seasonings and spices, not too greasy, super satisfying crunch, nice moist thigh on a bed of coconut milk rice and beans, and some steamed veggies. The jerked chicken smelled incredible too.Very friendly staff.
