As a West Indian residing in South Florida, I will say I am pleasantly surprised with this meal. My first bite was a piece of the chicken and I thought it can nyam but it got better as I continued to eat the meal. The food wasn’t spicy like other reviewers mentioned (the sauce was actually a bit too sweet in my opinion) nor does it compare to Fort Lauderdale, or NYC’s, Jamaican food but for Denver, it was one of my best meals here. I didn’t enjoy the potato salad and should’ve gotten the fried plantain but being that it isn’t something typically served on menus home, I figured I would try it. I’ll try this restaurant again when I am back in town and feeling homesick.PS - price in my opinion is a little high but you get a large portion for it. Jamaican food in Fort Lauderdale is typically $6-8 for chicken meals this size so my opinion on pricing is very biased.

Delicious food, terrible service, employees were almost entirely in the back, and spent the majority of the time shouting at each other. More than a little uncomfortable to be sitting in.Would recommend on strength of food, but as take out/order online only. Don’t spend any longer here than you have to.

Only reason I'm leaving this is because I know they can do better and are worth 5 stars.Asked for extra sauce on side and plantains for j*** chicken. Didn't receive either. The sauce I understand, but not the plantains.Besides that, food is A1.

This is our favorite Jamaican place here in Denver. We highly recommend the j*** chicken, fried chicken, fried sea bass and oxtail. Ordering is super easy. It’s a small restaurant so you can either eat there or get it to go. This is a local business that started in 2013 and the owner is such a sweet lady. Love supporting our local businesses!

10/10! Absolutely loved it. We got the wings and the ribs. Wings were crispy and delicious; the ribs melted in my mouth. And for the first time I had brown rice that I genuinely enjoyed. The rice wasn’t just a bed of carbs for the meat to lay on, it was a flavorful accent that perfectly meshed with the flavors of the meat.

Went to Jamaica back in February and this place is by far the best representation I have had. Don’t skip on it.

I came in and saw a traditional islander. He had just finished eating. I asked him “is it authentic?” The immediate response was “yes”. He then told me it was his first time here.I ordered the j*** chicken. It was delicious. Came with Rice and potato salad.

Not good food or good price for what you get. Apparently this place’s only defense for their bad food is being the first and really only jamaican restaurant in Denver for 20ish years, maybe 20 years ago this place was the spot to go to but they must have grown complacent since then as it just isn’t worth your money.People have different tastes for different things, but that generally boils down to a few key aspects, amount and quality of flavor, presentation, and ethnic variety. Jamaican food really doesn’t vary much in the 2 latter aspects, so if people don’t like it they probably have specific tastes when it comes to the former.Edit Response to Owner:Just as I assumed, your only defense is your 20 years of establishment, if that is your only claim to fame than that is sad. Also I enjoy the subtle racist slight that since I am white and/or not Jamaican my tastes aren't authentic. Your food sucks, regardless of what color of skin or region I am from, I've been eating Jamaican food most of my life and I've simply never had food as bad as this that calls itself authentic Jamaican.

Yeaterday was my first time trying this restaurant and let's just say I wasn't disappointed. The service was excellent and the portion sizes of the food was great. The smell as soon as I opened this up was amazing. The restaurant it self smelled so good too! I really enjoyed the Curry Goat. I will be back ??
