Jamaican Restaurants near Bloomfield, CT

“The food was absolutely amazing. I got the Jerk chicken, fried plantains, braised cabbage, and the beans and rice all smothered with the jerk sauce. It was spicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to go back and try more foods:)“

“As a die-hard Carnivore, I was shocked that I enjoyed my 'Everyting' meal as much as I did... Flavors explode, textures couldn't convince me that I wasn't eating meat... GIGI, you were more than professionally courteous and great food and pleasant attitude have me coming back for more... I still can't believe I wasn't eating meat... $3 toward your 'Brick and Mortar"... You've got my support... FOLKS, don't knock it til you've tried it...

“(Note: This review is for the Albany Ave. location) This won't be a popular review. For decades my family would frequent Scott's Bakery. We loved everything that they offered (hardo bread, beef patty, coco bread, plantain tart and so on). When I said we liked EVERYTHING, I mean it. Everything was on point!! Yesterday was my first time (and last time) going into Scott's in about a decade plus. It is clear that management has changed (if not management, something has gone horribly wrong). The shell of the patty was beyond thick and there was little meat in it. The coco bread was beyond disgusting! It was a flavorless clump of undercooked dough. You know how coco bread is supposed to taste. It didn't taste like that at all. It seems as though they've cut corners on their peanut punch which had a gell-like texture. The BEST part of everything that I purchased was the Cola Champagne. As long as they continue to use the same distributor they can't mess that up. Maybe they had a bad day. I won't be spending money to find out.“

“Everything plus the staff was really friendly“

“Got one of the best beef patties on coco bread I've had in a long time. Jerked chicken and rice was really good too but the best off all was the fresh strawberry banana smoothie! 10/10 will definitely be back anytime I'm in the area“

“Alright, there is no better Jerk Pork in the United States than Destiny Awaits. From the first bite, I felt like I had just swung by a jerk center in Port Antonio!

I have never tasted such truly authentic food in all of the United States. What was most interesting to me is that the jerk meats have the flavor of being smoked on Pimento wood, which I don't understand how they could have emulated in Hartford, CT.

If you are looking for real Jamaican food that truly sends you back home, you MUST stop here. It's an overwhelming 5* rating from me!“

“I feel like any negative reviews must be coming from some false competition, this place is great! Had the curry goat today and it was perfect, flavorful, and plentiful. Doesn't hurt that the place is also clean and the staff are really nice. Definitely recommend“

“Reason why I went to Sunsplash bar and grill last night was the sunsplash on Maple avenue was closed so I went by there to get it by oxtail rice and peas salad oh my God it was so good. Also thier chicken wings are amazing the chicken meat falls off the bones. in the meat is jerked dark on the outside. I don't drink alcohol but they have a bar you can sit down and and they have a sitting area as well nice space nice place nice spot. I want to say hi to Danny and I want to say hi to Dwight and I want to say hi to Sophie.“

“I had my lunch from island cuisine today my j*** chicken was well seasoned whoever it's the new chefs you guys doing a good job....blessings!!“

“Rasta Pasta on point. Presentation of food speak for itself. The tasting of rasta pasta has ingredients that is well let's just say open your smell senses and taste buds. Large portion but it's worth it“

“Ordered on Uber eats and everything I ordered was so good I got curry goat and fried chicken. I love that they let you order and pay for a cup of whichever gravy you want. good job! I wouldn’t order the oxtails from here again they were chewy last time but this time around the food did not disappoint. Haven’t had a good take out Jamaican meal in a minute before this.“

“The food here is very good. Everything seasoned so well. Excellent customer service. I also loved the fact that it is Black Woman owned!“

“This restaurant is a hidden gem. Every time I enter the restaurant the gentleman always greets and asked how can I help. The service and the food is excellent it’s fresh and you always get service with a smile. I highly recommend eating here if your looking for some island cuisine.“

“It's a genuine Jamaican food take out food. The food is very good The prices are quiet low and quantity of food is so much. It's like a hole in the wall place .Think of a Chinese take out restaurant. I was happy with my visit and will go there again for take out only.

Parking: It is in a strip mall with plenty of parking“

“Enjoyed the most mouthwatering jerk Pork made by my dear friend and Chef Audrey. Sophia is such a fantastic hostess.. Will always visit whenever I visit CT..“

“Red pea soup on Saturdays.? Arrive before 3pm or else.....? Stewed peas...it's criminal how good this dish is. Perfectly salty. And the porridge....the cornmeal porridge coupled with fried dumplings. I dip mine into the porridge. Inappropriate, right?? The. Peanut. Porridge. Amazing ?? Reasonable prices and friendly service. Reggae or dancehall music can usually be heard and there are always beautiful people around. Its a vibe❤️ ?❤️“

“The food is amazing. Really good vibez Taniesha Walker-Wilson“

“The food is great, well seasoned, and cooked. The cook knows exactly what he is doing.
Customer service needs work, a little more, and greet customers. Also, paying for a bag is crazy we need a bag to stop the gravy from leaking all over our car/clothes.
Food presentation needs work, jerk, and stew chicken needs to be cut into smaller portions, including the yams.
Overall, the food is excellent, the restaurant is clean, bathroom clean. I will definitely recommend this spot.“

“A NASTY place for NASTY people, Drug dealers and Hood Rats!“
