“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.“

“As an event coordinator for our program, I had the pleasure of working with Milton from Jamaican Kitchen to cater a meeting we hosted in December for 55 attendees in Hamden. Although the nearest Jamaican Kitchen location was in Bristol, Milton kindly agreed to deliver the order to Hamden, going above and beyond to accommodate our needs. Having previously enjoyed their delicious food for a smaller group at the Hartford location, I knew Jamaican Kitchen would be an excellent choice. Milton was instrumental in helping me design a menu that fit within our budget while addressing the dietary restrictions of some attendees. The menu included rice and beans, steamed cabbage salad, sweet plantains, mini cocktail chicken and beef patties, jerk chicken, and vegetarian stew. Milton delivered the meal ahead of schedule, and everything arrived warm, neatly packaged, and clearly labeled—making service seamless. His professionalism, positive attitude, and responsiveness to my various inquiries made the entire experience stress-free. The attendees were thrilled with the meal, with particular praise for the cocktail patties. If you are looking for authentic Jamaican cuisine, exceptional service, and a reliable caterer, I highly recommend Milton and Jamaican Kitchen.“

“Grill Mon Island, Middletown

Summary- cozy spot offering Jamaican classics. You will enjoy your experience here.

Full review- Just found out about this gem and had to try it. As a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine it is our mission to try and review every restaurant we can in the area.

Apparently, they’ve been open for a few months but we weren’t aware. Found them on a google maps search at 5.05pm on Saturday. The listing said they closed at 5pm. On a whim called the phone number immediately and pleaded with them to stay open for pick up. The kind lady replied that she was planning to be open for another couple of hours. So I jumped in the car and headed over there quickly.

We ordered variety of dishes :
- Chicken jerk chicken
- Curry goat
- Oxtail

The jerk chicken was running out so we completed the order with a little bit of stew chicken.

All the dishes were very good.
The rice and peas were truly special - Perhaps an extra dose of Love❤️
The Stew chicken was also outstanding.
We will be ordering all these dishes again.

The location is incredibly convenient. it is on College Street literally a block from Main Street.

Middletown is emerging us a culinary destination, and this lovely cozy Jamaican spot really elevates the game.

The food is good. The people are wonderful. the location is fantastic.

Parking: Plenty of parking- street, garage.

Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Due to COVID, Dine in isn’t available but amazing service & amazing food! 💕“

“I got lucky and found this spot near my job and two days in a row all I have to say is this food feeds my soul. You HAVE to get the wings but if you like seafood their salmon and shrimp hits the spot. Definitely make sure you stop by here. They share the entrance with the barbershop in case you get confused on the entrance.“

“Ive been craving good jamaican food for a while now and it has been hars to find.. I Stopped in on the way home today to pick up lunch for my wife and I. Walked in and was greeted nicely and has the restaueant has a nice atmosphere. The service was amazing. I did not get the womans name but she was wonderful. Great personality and was warm and welcoming. Order the Ackie and salt fish, 2 orders of the jerk chicken, beef patties, and you can leave without some coco bread and cheese. Everything was outstanding. I havent had jamaican food like this since i was back in negril!! The Patty's are to die for, and the jerk chicken is fall of the bone tender, and their jerk sauce is phenomenal. The ackie and salt was Great. Fell in love with this dish back in jamaica and they pulled me right back their while I was eating it. Will be back again soon.“

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

“I ordered yellow rice N beans, potato ball, mango drink, guava dessert and some another dessert. The food is absolutely AMAZING!!! The potato ball was on point! Best I've ever had from anywhere. The drink was made perfecto! The rest of the food was cooked to a T..I go here often but today i bought more options and I'm glad I did. Kudos to y'all!!!! I'll always come back for my lunch and dinner “

“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.“

“The food is so good and tasty. ❤️🇯🇲“

“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“

“Amazing food, everything I've tried from here has been delicious. I absolutely recommend the clam chowder!“

“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.“

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

“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!!“

“I get the curried chicken with rice and peas and veggies. It's excellent! The owners are extremely nice, too.“

“I went there today and I loved it. I ordered online for the first time and the food that I received was too spicy for me to eat; the owner Mark, was so accommodating and understanding. He replaced my food. I know that's very rare and a loss to him but I'm so grateful about the way he handled things. He also took the time to speak with me and get to know me. Business owners don't do that anymore. If ever I'm in Hartford, I'm coming here for my Jamaican food. The food is actually really really good! I'm not even joking. I can see why this business was packed when I walked in. Y'all need to go here if you're ever in the area!!!“

“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..“
