First time eating here after watching tooo many shows on Jamaican food. Everything was absolutely delicious.
Jerk chicken - moist, fall apart with a fork and spiced perfectly. The heat is there and it stays for a bit but sooo good
Beans and rice - was not expecting a coconut flavor to the rice, game changer for sure and dulls down some of the heat if you don’t like spicy chicken.
Corn - roasted and flavorful.
I will be coming back here again and again. If you’re in the area you owe it to your taste buds to stop in.

Do they even taste their food before selling it? Just terrible!

(Food truck) Absolutely terrible! What a waste of money! I should’ve read the comments before I tried the food! It’s getting harder and harder to find good real Jamaican food in Boston. I got rice and peas with oxtail and curry veg, AWFUL!

Service and Atmosphere was great but the food.....ehh. I feel like they are catering to a certain demographic because there is no flavor in the rice, mac and cheese or oxtail.

I am blown away at how a horrible this food is. The only thing authentic about this place is the hard dough bread and plantains. I was really looking forward to a great dining experience. Hopefully they will get things together.

The food is amazing, exceeded my expectations for a casual spot. I had the jerk chicken, plantains and rice w/ beans, so good together! Will be bringing my friends here.
I used to order from here a lot. Stopped by yesterday and the food I got my bf and I had our stomachs doing backflips. I’m not sure what is different or why but this is bad. Won’t be returning.

This is not authentic Jamaican food. I have NEVER had Jamaican food taste this bad. The jerk doesn't taste like jerk, the rice n peas was greasy and they need to throw the Mac n cheese out. Someone there really needs to Google how to make Mac n cheese because it was that bad .

I had an amazing experience at Jamaica Mi Hungry! The flavors are authentic, and the food is absolutely delicious. The jerk chicken was perfectly spiced, tender, and full of flavor. The rice and peas were a great complement, and the plantains were perfectly sweet and crispy.
The staff was friendly, welcoming, and made me feel right at home. If you're looking for a true taste of Jamaica, this is the place to be. Highly recommend!

I drove by the restaurant countless times in the past, and could never find parking. So when there was an open parking spot today- I took it and was excited to finally visit the restaurant.
The interiors are pretty nice although decor is minimal, but seating is comfortable, the bathroom is decent, and it was nice to watch the Olympics on TV while eating.
The staff is great, diligent and friendly. But they serve the food in disposable plastic trays with disposable utensils even if you dine in, which compromises the experience.
The portion was too large and the price was too high. Instead of paying $18 for a large portion that I can't finish, I'd rather pay $13 for a good size portion (like a burrito at a taqueria).
The food is interesting and tasty, albeit somewhat greasy and spicy, Jamaica mi heartburn. And they don't serve water, you have to buy a drink.
Overall- not a great experience, just okay.
Vegetarian options: Rice, veggies, limited options, no fresh salads
Parking: Very hard to find parking, busy area
Kid-friendliness: Family friendly atmosphere

This is the greatest food in boston, and possibly anywhere. I never leave reviews, but this place is just too good to not say something. The staff are helpful and kind, and the food is truly incredible. I’ve been a vegetarian for years, and they have the best, most flavorful tofu meal I’ve ever had (I’ve had it at least once a week since my introduction to their food). I will be a customer for life!
