“Kingston Delight has been a go-to Jamaican food stop in North Miami Beach for over 25 years, and it continues to serve the community with its consistent, flavorful menu and buffet-style daily offerings. As someone who’s frequented this spot for years, I can honestly say it holds a special place in the heart of the city’s Caribbean food scene.

The restaurant is known for its authentic Jamaican dishes—from oxtail and curry goat to fried dumplings and callaloo. The buffet setup makes it easy to pop in and grab a hearty meal without the wait, perfect for lunch breaks or quick dinner pick-ups.

On my most recent visit, I tried the curry chicken, and while it was a bit saltier than usual, the portion was generous, and the flavor was still on point. One thing I’ve always appreciated is that even when one dish misses slightly, the overall quality and soul in the food brings me back.

Whether you’re a longtime local or just visiting, Kingston Delight remains a North Miami Beach classic for anyone craving authentic Jamaican comfort food.“

“Had the pleasure of being served by Jeffrey. He was extremely knowledgable and made some great recommendations. His personality and attention to detail enhanced the experience.

From the fried turkey to the rice and beans and the sides, you can tell everything is cooked with care and love, not just thrown together.

What really keeps us coming back is the way they treat us. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and respectful. They make sure we’re comfortable, check on us, and treat us like regulars every single time, even when it’s busy. The service matches the quality of the food, excellent.

The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and feels like a true Haitian home, with good vibes, good music, and good people.

Whenever we’re in town, this is our go-to spot. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food with great service, I highly recommend this place.“

I ordered the cherry wood bacon cheeseburger and was looking fwd to enjoying the burger, but I was so disappointed bcoz it was just a burger with no love, dry, very bland with no salt or seasoning and it just didn't do it for me. I won't be ordering a bacon cheeseburger at the restaurant again 😩“

The server hooked me up with a generous portion too. Mesi!“

The plate was overflowing, completely full of goodness. The French fries are lacking but the conch and shrimp makes up for it in abundance. Looking forward to the next trip just so I can get some conch and shrimp.“

Everything I've had from here has been tasty. The prices are also reasonable ?“

“This restaurant was like striking gold! Jamaican food 😋. We stayed in Miami for three days after disembarking from a cruise and ended up eating here every single day. That’s how incredible the food is!

I highly recommend the jerk chicken, oxtail and prawns. The cabbage is delicious and the plantain is an absolute must. Every dish was bursting with flavour and felt like a warm hug after a long journey.

This place was a life saver and total game changer. If you’re visiting Miami, do yourself a favour and check it out. Thank you so much- I know you know who we are😊 take care and all the best.“

“Absolutely incredible!!!!
how can they afford this.,
The food is cooked fresh and put out there and you have a menu selection of different Rices and meats and vegetables a plate that's less than $6 I don't know how they do it... And it taste great... You will get a choice of rice a meat and a side of vegetable and a drink for less than $6..... And large portions BTW...
Typically when I order there I can split my plate for noon and afternoon meals... Again.... This is $6!!!!!!“

But the patties are always fresh and delicious. We are hooked on them and find ourselves coming back for more.“

My experience was great... Awesome spot to stop by“

My wife had the shrimp salad sliders and I had a bowl with Carnitas. Both were excellent. I got more pico and it made the bowl even better by doubling the pico. My wife had the aperol spritz.
