I ordered ackee and salt fish with provisions (steam bananas and yams). It was everything I anticipated (savory, nutritional and filling) as I sat there and enjoyed my meal for breakfast just before riding the subway. They have other delicious items on the menu.
The Original Dumpling Shop is an absolute gem! I had the pleasure of performing there with my Prolific Poet colleagues, and the atmosphere was incredible, warm, welcoming, and full of creative energy. It’s the perfect space for community, culture, and the arts to thrive.
The food was just as amazing as the vibe. I had the fish stew with rice and peas, and it was absolutely delicious, rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The special sorrel drink was also so refreshing...read full review

The Original Dumpling Shop offers delicious dumplings along with excellent Jamaican food. Their menu includes fried chicken, stew chicken, and hominy porridge, which many customers praise as the best on Thursdays and Saturdays. Customers can enjoy a nice-sized portion at an affordable price, with the food often described as clean and neat. The shop is known for its good customer service, and the cook, Chef, is appreciated for this. While the fried dumplings and whitings are popular, some find the dumplings a bit greasy and the plantains sometimes greasy or slightly burnt. The whitings are usually fresh and tasty. The shop’s curry chicken has been noted as an area that could be improved. Customers also enjoy the rich chicken soup with pumpkin and ground provisions. Prices for UberEats pickup and delivery differ, and some reviews mention that the service can be a little slow. Overall, the shop remains a favorite for many who enjoy authentic Jamaican dishes.
