Jamaican Restaurants near East Hartford, CT

“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!“

“Long Gut Miss Pinny is such a hidden gem in Manchester. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and the service was even better. Everything tasted super fresh and homemade. It’s run by a mother and daughter, and you can really tell how much care goes into the food. The mac and cheese was so good, the Jamaican patties were perfectly flaky, and the pepper shrimp had the perfect amount of spice. The chicken soup with pumpkin was comforting and flavorful, and the oxtail and curry chicken were absolutely delicious. Definitely a spot I’ll be going back to. Highly recommend checking it out.“

“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.“

“Clover was a great owner! The food was 5/5. This was my first time here & the food was so good I was eating at the cashier counter. She was a very pleasant woman & she is very personable. I will be a regular at quick bites!! Thank you so much for the great service!!“

“The best vegan food I’ve ever tasted and Ive been in the vegan game for over 20 years.“

“Been there often when I worked in Manchester. Came in today from the other side of the State and got 3 orders of pepper steak. As always did not disappoint. Best in CT if not beyond. Sizable portions, warm and friendly atmosphere and reasonable prices. Definitely recommend’“

“(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.“

“I had an amazing meal at Jamaica Kitchen in Rock Hill! The curry goat was tender, flavorful, and seasoned to perfection. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone delicious with rich, authentic Jamaican flavors in every bite.

A special thank you to Sham for providing outstanding customer service. She was friendly, attentive, and made the entire dining experience even more enjoyable. Great food and excellent service—I’ll definitely be back!“

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

“Enjoyed everything about this restaurant, the atmosphere, the services, and most definitely the Jamaican food.“

“I went last night around 9:30pm thinking they were going to tell me they were out of many items but not only did they have EVERYTHING, they also moved quick! I complimented the one girl working the register because she was doing the damn thing! even recalled my order perfectly despite servicing many people at once. Great service, food came out quick & was delicious. That girl who works behind the counter Sunday evening needs a raise!“

“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 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!“

“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“

“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..“

“Food, Fun, and Music 🍷🍾🥂🍻🍺“

“THE BEST!
If you are looking for REAL Jamaican flavor, this is the place! From the moment I walked in, the aroma alone let me know I was about to be blessed. The food was fresh, seasoned to perfection, and full of that authentic island taste you can’t fake.

If you have been craving bold spices, tender meats, and generous portions - look no further. Trust me - this spot is a whole experience. Highly recommend!“

“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“

“Food was absolutely delicious and customer service was good. Big up Chef Opal you are doing an amazing job.“

“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.“
