Food was delicious! Service was great as well! Very welcoming!
I dined in with friends. I had the combo; Curry Goat and Oxtails.
Worst experience ever. Spent almost 100 and received goat dishes that were not good at all. I ordered chicken.
I will always patronize and encourage my (Afro American) folks to support their own. My wife and I have been residents of San leandro for some time and used to enjoy Sweet Fingers restaurant before it burned down. We stopped at the new location on Foothill one Saturday evening on our way home. My wife and I both ordered Jerk Chicken dinner with sides. I was severly disappointed when I got home to find that the jerk chicken in both meals were severely burnt. The chicken was dry and hard. I was both upset and very surprised. It's been awhile and we have'nt been back yet. Please in the future, make sure that the person cooking is on point. Dont want to point fingers but there was an older lady cooking and a younger girl helping at the counter.
Maybe one day soon we'll try again.
Came here with a group for a family and friends graduation dinner. We were not in a rush and enjoyed our time. Rum punch was tasty and strong. We were given complimentary plantains and jerk wings, that were to perfection! The table ordered curry goat, curry chicken, stewed chicken and salmon plates—food was HOT, fresh and we were even served by Chef Clive. We had a really great experience on a Wednesday night! Kudos to the Lish who was pleasant and juggling different hats.
our family celebrated our youngest daughter graduation from 8th grade. we were warmly welcomed and cared for by Alisha. dining in was relaxed and we were in no rush. our food was impeccable and served up by Chef Clive himself! the BEST Jamaican food we’ve had in Cali. will absolutely recommend and return. brown stew chicken, delicious! curry goat, fall off the bone goodness. rice n’ peas- spot on!! nana was VERY happy with her curry salmon!
YUMMY!!! Amazing food!!! the surf and turf combo was bomb! Jerk snapper and brown stew chicken, rice and peas, plantains. I added the festivals and macaroni pie 🫠🤤🤤🤤. Very flavorful, hot, and fresh. Perfect spice level. Good portion I am well satisfied and I can’t wait to try other dishes.
Went right when they opened up and it was still a vibe! I had the Jerk Salmon, wasn’t too pricey and had a lot of flavor but not over flavored. They have a bar with all the games on and the staff treats you like family. Be aware if you get the jerk it’s gonna have a lil spice.
The best jamaican cuisine in the Bay Area!

I recently visited Sweet Finger for brunch with some friends, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish! The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a get-together. The service we received was outstanding—Zekiyah took excellent care of us and made sure we felt at home. Chef Clive came out and share some recipes!!
The food was simply top-notch. We started with Jamaican patties that were perfectly tender and packed with flavor, and the cornbread was so delicious it’s hard to put into words. The standout for me was definitely the chicken wings—they were seasoned and cooked to perfection, showcasing authentic Jamaican spice and flair. The ScotchBonnet hot sauce, inspired by traditional Jamaican flavors, brought an intense, satisfying heat that true spice lovers would adore.
If you’re looking for a place with amazing food, fantastic service, and a genuine taste of Jamaica, Sweet Finger is it. Highly recommend!c m

Took my girl here today for dinner. She's vegan/vegetarian so I was happy they have multiple options. The orange garlic chicken was amazing. I will be back to try the Rum punch
