I truly enjoy eating here, food and service is always on point every time I go there.
For my birthday, I ordered from Royal Taste of Jamaica, and it was truly unforgettable. I had the oxtails with rice, yams, and all the fixings, and every part of the meal was outstanding. The oxtails were tender and flavorful, the rice was perfectly seasoned, and the yams added just the right touch of sweetness.
It reminded me of the comfort of rice and gravy from the South, but elevated with a rich Caribbean twist. Since it was my first time trying oxtail, I wasn’t sure...read full review
I asked about the size of oxtails and the response was a bit attitudal but understanding in a sense. Customer service is subpar meaning it depends on their mood. Food is good but service takes away from overall experience. People want what they want to pay for and if they want to pay extra then you should be willing to accept but the fact that they actually want to serve everyone is admirable….even if they only have a handful of customers on some days.

Royal Taste of Jamaica offers a warm and inviting atmosphere, with friendly and patient staff ready to assist with menu questions. The service is generally quick and efficient, though some customers have noted that certain menu items can sell out early, even before closing time. The food is a highlight, with popular dishes including oxtail, jerk chicken, and Rasta Pasta. The oxtails are praised for being tender, flavorful, and outstanding, while the rice and peas are well-seasoned and not stingy on the peas. The beef patty is crispy and spicy, with customers particularly enjoying the traditional reg and spicy beef patties. The rum cake is moist and rummy, and the coco bread is described as divine. Customers also appreciate the variety of options, such as goat with Mac and cheese and ackee with salt fish. The restaurant’s interior features melodic Jamaican music and beautiful artwork, creating a lively and authentic Jamaican vibe. While parking can be limited due to the downtown location, the restaurant is clean and worth a visit for its delicious food and great atmosphere. Some guests have mentioned that prices can be on the higher side, and it may be best to order ahead for quicker pick-up. Overall, Royal Taste of Jamaica provides a genuine Caribbean experience with food made with love and care.
