Jamaican Restaurants near East Hartford, CT

“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“

“This was my second visit to The Dutch Pot Restaurant in Miami Gardens Fort Lauderdale, and it won’t be my last! The true gem of this place is the staff. From the moment I walked in, I noticed the genuine, friendly interaction between the staff and customers – no impatience or condescension, just warm and welcoming service. It’s rare to find such a personable atmosphere! The food was, as always, incredible. I had the curried goat, which was perfectly spiced and tender, and the oxtail was rich and flavorful. Both dishes were spot-on! To top it off, we were given a tour of the newly opened, exclusive upstairs dining area (pictures to come!), which looks fantastic. Kudos to the owners for continuously elevating the dining experience here. Overall, this is a fantastic business that deserves to be replicated – amazing food, a welcoming team, and a beautifully designed space. Highly recommend The Dutch Pot to anyone looking for a great meal and even better service!“

“The Jerk Chicken was perfection, the Sour Sop Juice is a MUST TRY and the staff couldn’t have been nicer. Loved it!“

“It's always a pleasure stopping by to get my spinach patties every week. Today Shernette took my order over the phone while Arline prepared it and ensured that I didn't have to wait long upon arriving.

Kree does the baking and is always willing to put some extra spinach patties in the oven when they are running low.

Ms. Yvonne and AnnMarie are very pleasant and polite.

The staff at Golden Krust really do make me feel like they care.“

“Ate twice there this week and what a gem of a place! Had the chicken rice bowl and it was so delicious and flavorful! Spices were just right! Then tried the chicken wrap and was not disappointed! Got to try this place!“

“Incredible food! The spot is small, but that’s ok.. it’s perfect for takeout. I’ve had both stewed chicken and curry chicken.. the food is very flavorful. I will be a regular here“

“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.“

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

“Jamaican Jerk Shack has been a staple Taste of the Caribbean + Jerk Festival and they never disappoint!“

“Great service and great food 🇯🇲♥️“

“I absolutely love having various events at Sun Splash from decorating for weddings, baby showers and now a retirement party! Oh the the food is delicious! Sophia is awesome and also her staff!“

“I was disappointed because the servings of food are not consistent, one server makes sure to ask what you need and the food is good but the next server the following week really disappoint the rice was swimming in gravy it was so bad that it looked like dog food and I guess she didn't care about great service because the oxtails had 6 of the smallest pieces of oxtails that I have seen; this was so disappointing it felt like I had begged for some food. WOW“

“Unassuming takeout only West Indian Restaurant. I have been a few times and the food is always excellent! I love the Jerk Chicken, peas and rice with Oxtail Gravy and Stewed Cabbage. Just the right amount of heat and the smoky flavor of the chicken is perfect! The cabbage is sweeter than I am used to, but I enjoyed it. It helped cut the heat. Parking can be difficult when it's busy, but so worth it!!!“

“5 STARS!!!! The Food was Amazing! The staff was so nice and welcoming. We were just passing by and I'm so happy we decided to stop for food. Ended up buying enough to take home to NY for dinner. Definitely a Family friendly restaurant. Can't wait to visit CT again to have a reason to come back!“

“We had the pleasure of trying Lux’s Restaurant and Café for the first time through Too Good To Go, and it was an amazing experience! The portions were incredibly generous—so much food for such a great price. We had the oxtails, and they were absolutely delicious. As first-timers to Caribbean food, we were blown away by the flavors. The sides and rice were plentiful and perfectly complemented the main dish. On top of the fantastic food, the staff were kind and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. We’ll definitely be coming back soon! Highly recommend!“

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

“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❤️ ?❤️“

“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..“

“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.“

“Highly recommend the jerk chicken rice and peas and cabbage. We drove to East Windsor cause the Enfield location is not open yet. It did not disappoint 😋.“

“The staff (Antoinette) was so very calm, patient and courteous as we attempted to call in an order for three people while driving.

Her handling our various questions related to our orders; all while serving in-person customers was impressive!! She was fantastic as well as the other staff. Would certainly recommend this restaurant!“

“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“

“Your food is good all the time.Accept when one waitress makes the food.Is such a angry plate?You can't enjoy it.Her attitude sucks and how portions get smaller and smaller.I'm gonna end up going to the little chinese shop in the back soon“

“The atmosphere was wonderfully cleaned. Customer service was excellent, and I would definitely recommend it. The only reason I gave them a four for the food is that I think it's overpriced.

Vegetarian options: They have a wide range of choices“

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

“They have the best curry chicken! The pepper steak is also phenomenal. Above all, their fried chicken is outstanding. Those are the only things I’ve ever gotten but their food is the best in the area! I forgot, their fried dumpling and ackee breakfast is also the best.“

“Delicious, fresh and homemade food. Lots of food for the price. Fast and friendly customer service.“
