Jamaican Restaurants in Hartford, CT

“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.“

“If you see the Rastarant tent anywhere, you HAVE to stop in, regardless of if you're an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan!! We found them last year at the Garlic Festival in CT and haven't stopped talking about how incredible the food is and how huge the portions were! We were so excited to see them on the vendor list again this year and it was a must need stop to complete our day! We got the 'Gimme Every Ting' meal and it literally will feed you for days. The staff is so nice and you can tell they genuinely love what they do! I can't say enough good about them!“

“(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!“

“Great service and great food 🇯🇲♥️“

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

“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!!!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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..“

“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!“

“Food, Fun, and Music 🍷🍾🥂🍻🍺“

“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“

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

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

“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.“
