I have always wanted to try Jamaican food, and today, it was my 3rd time, and it was the best out of the 3. There are many foods that are considered good, but this one is one of them. I truly recommend it !

I'm looking at photos from the people who gave this restaurant 1 and 2 stars, and I'm thinking they went somewhere other than Violet's From Jamaica with Love. We stopped here after my son performed at NJCU and our small plates were so big, we took half of our meals home for a second meal the next day. The food was plentiful and well-seasoned. We had oxtails, curry goat, and whiting.
Parking: We were there on a Sunday, and found parking easily....

I come here for lunch and the staff there are exceptional. They are always friend and even during the lunch hour rush they get things done quickly. The food is great as well, this is my go to spot when I’m in Jersey City.
