Jamaican Restaurants near New Britain, CT

“I was craving a beef patty. We ordered through ubereats and got beef pattys, coco bread and stew chicken with rice and peas. Everything was so delicious!!“

“This place is amazing. Their beef patties are nicely spiced and one of the best. The vegetable patty is also delicious. I’ve had their jerked chicken, curry goat, and oxtail. All are so tender and flavorful. Good sized portions and affordable. Glad to have a place like this in West Hartford. I’ve never been disappointed.“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“(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!“

“This isn’t our usual Jamaican food place, but I’m glad we stopped here on our way by. We were greeted walking in the door. I ordered a jerk chicken sandwich (fantastic flavor) and my husband got the curry goat platter and a beef patty. The portions are rather large and it isn’t too expensive. Food was delicious. Would definitely come here again.“

“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!“

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

“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❤️ ?❤️“

“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!“

“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..“

“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“

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

“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“

“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.“

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

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