Located in the heart of Newtown on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Way, Roots Jamaican Cuisine is a must-visit for authentic, delicious Jamaican food!
My stepfather was Jamaican, so I grew up enjoying Jamaican cooking and have a real appreciation for its flavors. Roots is absolutely fantastic and brings back wonderful memories of the food I grew up loving. I highly recommend giving it a try!
