“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.“

Our server Naz was so nice and even gave me a special birthday treat!

We will definitely be back!“

“The food is terrible and a complete rip-off—definitely poor quality. Anyone giving this place 4 stars is either intoxicated or has never tasted good food. The Lo Mein is mushy, tasteless, and made me want to throw up. The fried rice is soggy, overly salty, and has no flavor. Absolutely disgusting.“

“simply delicious with fast friendly service“

“Great authentic roti, large portions, made fresh daily. Duck curry, goat curry, etc., etc.“

“The Bouillon was good. I would like two pieces of meat. I got 1 big piece of beef. It was well seasoned and just the right amount of spicy. I also got the spaghetti. Wasn't the best I've had. It was on the dry side. And didn't have any peppers or onion. I would go back to try something else.
The service was good. The older lady was very nice and the young girl speaks softly but she is also pleasant.
Tip. The hours on Google are not accurate. Saturday, they were open at 9:30-10AM. This is around the time I went.“

“🌿 Easy to miss at first, but such a great find. Parking is a bit tricky with only street options, you may have to park further out but the walk is quick and safe. You order buffet-style at the window, and then head to the back patio where the magic reveals itself.

🌴 The backyard feels like a whole different world from the outside..lush, tropical, shaded, with a bar, stage, and plenty of seating. Super relaxed vibe.

🍽️ I had the fried goat with cornmeal + red beans, sweet plantains, and fresh lemonade..simple and delicious. Can’t wait to come back and actually sit and enjoy it longer!“

“Best fried conch and shrimp ever. This is forever my place to go when I'm in town and want some seafood. The conch was tender not gummy or over cooked. The food was just delicious. 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.“

“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.“

“JRK in Aventura absolutely knocked it out of the park! We recently used them to cater an event, and our guests could not stop raving about the food. The jerk chicken, barbecue chicken and jerk fried rice had an incredible, scrumptious flavor. The rice and peas, steamed cabbage and sweet plantains were also cooked to absolute perfection.
​Not only was the food amazing, but the delivery was also right on time. Multiple guests were asking for the restaurant's location and insisted they would be visiting in person soon. If you want delicious Jamaican food, JRK is the place to go! Thank you JRK for making our event a success!“

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. She thoroughly enjoyed it and was amazed how good it was compared to what she expected. Our server, Dani, was also excellent!“
