Jamaican Restaurants near Windsor Locks, CT

“I’m from the Bahamas and I have lived in South Florida for years. I now live in North Florida and haven’t had the same Jamaican food restaurant taste as I did in South Florida. Why the hell I just pulled up in Windsor Locks Connecticut and saw this place and thought to myself ‘Ain’t no way in the world this gonna be good.’ I was wrong. I got the curry goat and a beef patty. This place is it. 100%. And I never leave comments.“

“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...

“Great service and great food 🇯🇲♥️“

“(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!“

“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!“

“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“

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

“The food was absolutely amazing. I got the Jerk chicken, fried plantains, braised cabbage, and the beans and rice all smothered with the jerk sauce. It was spicy, flavorful, and absolutely delicious. I cannot wait to go back and try more foods:)“

“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!!!“

“The food is great, well seasoned, and cooked. The cook knows exactly what he is doing.
Customer service needs work, a little more, and greet customers. Also, paying for a bag is crazy we need a bag to stop the gravy from leaking all over our car/clothes.
Food presentation needs work, jerk, and stew chicken needs to be cut into smaller portions, including the yams.
Overall, the food is excellent, the restaurant is clean, bathroom clean. I will definitely recommend this spot.“

“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.“
