“If you are looking for amazing Jamaican food AND outstanding customer service, look no further! The owner only sells quality food and it is a family owned business. Amoya (hope I spelled it right) is mostly there serving the food whenever I go and she is an absolute pleasure to interact with. I can honestly say they serve their food with LOVE and GRACE. Money spent here is money well spent.“
“I called the restaurant today on my daughter’s birthday (2/26/24) to ask for a table for 5 people including two children. I was told there’s not enough seating for everyone but they would gladly accommodate us at the event space next door. I agreed. My family arrived at around 6 and the two ladies took our order and Yvonne took a few minutes to prepare the table for us. When she led us into the room we were so delighted and astounded! The place was so beautifully decorated, and she managed it in a very short time! All the food was delicious! She made my daughter feel so special, she danced with the girls and helped cut the cake! I was very lucky and blessed to have been given this wonderful memory! It was such a pleasure to meet Yvonne, she is so sweet and has such a good heart! I will definitely be back again soon!Dietary restrictions: Totally Vegan and plant based menu.Kid-friendliness: Yvonne was so sweet with my girls.“
“The place is nice and the food is pretty good. The issue remains the same, the restaurant space is compact. Perhaps better in the summer time if there is outdoor space to help with seating etc. Overall, I had a great time, the music was lively and the energy of the staff and DJ was refreshing. I didn't like the fact that you don't get an actual receipt while dining at the tables (you do get one at the bar). So it's difficult to analyze what you're being charged. The fact that gratuity was included was not disclosed so you could tip twice if that wasn't your intention.“
“This spot got the best doubles, aloe pie and their yuca cake which is also called pone is good. I had their curry chicken and rice which is also good, tried their buss up shot which js roti they are delicious and fresh. Love that you can get the doubles with chicken or without. Definitely a go to spot on the weekends, love the people love the food. Highly recommended for anyone who’s looking for some good Trinidadian food.“

“They need to make more breakfast, you have to rush there to get it before it runs out, by 9:30am. At least make enough for the people until 11:00, everyone clearly loves their breakfast but it’s never enough. I overheard women on line complaining about this, as well as my mom.“
“Country life jerk is definitely a hidden gem. The food is authentic and delicious.To date i've only tried the jerk chicken, mac n cheese and soup and none of them disappoint.The mac n cheese is made with cheddar and is cheesy!! The jerk chicken is seasoned well, tender and portions are always good, even for the small sizes.In addition, they follow special instructions and the service is friendly ...top notch!!“
“I get takeout probably once a week from here. Bc it is that good. Like it is extremely good & the prices are average (you could say it’s a bit high but truthfully with the quality it is right on)1. This place is so clean.Every item I have gotten was delicious.Jerk chicken with macaroni and cheese-Chicken was flavorful & moist- so freaking good.Mac and cheese portions could be a little bigger to be honest but tasted amazing.Oxtail rice & peas and steamed veggies-Amazing! Could’ve skimmed a lil bit of the fat of the oxtail but I get it. Still so damn good, down to the peas & rice & steamed veggies all tasting amazing.Curry goat again another hit!Their patties are the best!!! Like soft flaky buttery, I get one every single time.I get a variation of these items everytime I go there and have not been dissappointed so they are consistent in good food.Definitely made this my Jamaican spot.Jerk chicken is moist while flavorful,“
“I’m from VA and I was at my brothers home for Thanksgiving in Jamaica Queens. The day of me leaving to go back home I wanted some authentic Jamaican food. Here it was!! The food is amazing, service is great. It’s very clean. I got the Oxtail with rice and all I can say WOW!! While I was there I asked the staff member ackee and of course she had it with fried dumplings. That was amazing ?! This will be ato go place for me every time I visit my brother. Thank you for your great hospitality. God bless you.“
“This place had some of the best jerk chicken I ever had in my life. I've gone back 3x times in the past month and they are not there anymore. Does anyone have an updated location for this jerk pit?Because now I'm sad...sad spelled backwards is das and das not good :/“
“The food is really Jamaican! Full of flavor, spicy, tasteful! It has a grandmother cooking kinda vibes to it which makes you appreciate the authenticity of the food and setting. It's definitely not commercialize but rather unique in feel“
“The trick with this place is you have to catch them around lunch time when that jerk chicken comes right off the grill and ask for the extra sauces on the side to take this experience to the ultimate level yummy! Also just a heads up they make great soups as well I've tried the chicken soup and others as well great on a cold day to help warm you up on the insides! Last but not least the jerk pork is where it's at as a nice side to your Oder to add a little more flavor and variety to your dish enjoy!“
“Food is always good here.At times there's a wait but it's because the cashier shares food and if she's sharing no one else can cash you out.Well that was then. I just ordered veggie chunks and the entire thing was awful. Too salty and no flavor. Miss G's can do better. No fork either. I normally love ordering from here.“
“I think Mya's Bar & Kitchen is an underrated spot. The food and service have not disappointed me yet and the space is an overall vibe. I've gone here several times and whether it's the honey shrimp, oxtail tacos, mac and cheese as well as sorrel drinks...Mya's Bar & Kitchen brings me joy. It's a well needed spot to the neighborhood and I hope more people come out to support this place. I don't want to see it go.“
“Service is excellent the food is inconsistent but on a good day we enjoy our meal. Staff is friendly & helpful always a pleasure. Porridge is good but needs more selection on weekends. Nice comfortable spotParking: At the back of the restaurant“
“Whenever I am craving for a Smokey, juicy, slightly spicy flavored j*** pork, this is the place that I go to. This is a tiny place that offers Jamaican foods which includes J*** pork, j*** chicken, salt fish, ackee, liver, pumpkin soup, beef patty, chicken patty, rice and peas, curry chicken, curry goat, oxtail and a lot more. Mainly a take out place. Today, I came here to buy "**** pork only" as I already have rice at home. It can be bought for a quarter of a pound, half pound or one pound. Half pound will cost about $11.00 +. They offer a variety of sauce but what I mainly like is the spicy orange sauce (Jamaican hot chili pepper) and the red sauce which is slightly on the sweeter side. The price per portions are reasonable. Everything the I have tried here before was delicious, flavorful/not too strong and always the right seasoning and taste. You will always be warmly greeted by the very nice lady on the counter, service is fast and quick. Give it a try.“
“I started ordering from here cause it close to my job & the first time, the food was amazing, the goat was perfectly seasoned, the roti was nice & fluffy but the last few times I’ve ordered from here its like they give less & less food. My goat roti today was mainly bones, the seasoning isnt as it was the first time & its a little disappointing.“
“Stopped in here 2 days in a row. I'm a contractor doing a job in the area. Day one I had curry goat and rice and peas it was absolutely phenomenal. Day 2 I had j*** chicken with rice and peas and it was delicious. I will definitely go out of my way to get food from here it's delicious and authentic.“
“Been looking for a good food spot and wow, I am amazed. The host/cashier ms.Joy was so kind and treated me like family, even though it was my first time there. she accommodated me so well, listening carefully to my dietary restrictions.. food is flavorful and they packed the plate to the top. They even had to saran wrap the plate to close it hands-down 10 out of 10 if I could.“
“Very good food. The 2 ladies were very nice polite and gave me fast service. The reviews are very misleading. Best food in the neighborhood. Oxtails tender and very good price and amount of food. Update I went back twice the stewed chicken is dry and then the plate of oxtails was not the same size lots of rice little meat. They were still nice but I decided not to make this a reg place I eat“
“Food was ok. I got the Jerk chicken, shrimp pasta, steamed vegetable, some oxtails on the side and a drink. The Jerk chicken was overcooked and tasted burnt. They do grill it outside. I didn’t get much of the seasoning to proclaim its authentic jerk chicken. It was super disappointing due to the fact that’s what I like the most and was looking forward to the most. However, the guy at the cashier was very nice & helpful. The place is clean. You serve yourself and it’s by the pound. It was dead in there. Very empty but food is 7.5/10. I would go back there again for something quick.“
“I gave it 4 only cause it was a bit pricey for no meat. I had the callalo, rice and peas with plantains. Mustvsay I was very pleased with the taste and the presentation. The lady who served me was also very nice. I quess i would go back when I'm high on funds. I ate all of it..very good and fulling...“
“I only order j*** pork & j*** chicken, and I most say that this is the BEST j*** chicken & pork I have EVER taste in America. I am hooked. It’s all about the flavor, and most restaurants just cook to sale, but Merrick J*** cook to please. They’re Potato pudding is good too.. not too sweet, but just right.Dietary restrictions: Not salty like most Jamaican restaurant.“
“I have passed by this place several times but never tried it because I am very picky with where I buy Jamaican food from. A friend recommended that I try their food one morning. This is my second time going. The first time I ordered the same as seen in the picture but I also ordered their corn meal porridge. Both were delicious! The Calaloo & Codfish is a little on the spicy side, so if you like spice you're good. If not, don't bother. They are bit pricey, considering that you can go up the street for cheaper but the food is tasty and seems fresh.“

“This is another good Jamaican spot worth trying in the Far Rockaway area. They did not have roti skin during the time I went but they had stew chicken which was good. This place does take credit and debit cards. One of the cons about this place is that you do not get to see the food. Everything is made fresh to order. Parking is limited. If you are staying in the hotels across the street give this place a try. You and your taste buds will not be disappointed.“
“HMG this place is the best night cap food shop to stop this place remind me back in Jamaica the dumpling shop on Waltham Park road east road where you could get your breakfast on your way to work in the morning have to go back to eat fry roast breadfruit and ackee and salt fish ......“
“I actually stumbled upon this restaurant on Uber Eats after the other Jamaican restaurant canceled on me. I decided to give Jah Leng a try. First of all it came in less than 30 mins. I ordered the oxtail, it was so delicious I am sorry I did not order the large. It was soft and it was not salty or fatty. I love that the salad was in a separate little bowl. I have to find the restaurant and have a sit down meal. Very pleased!! 10 out 10 for me!!“
“I absolutely adore this restaurant and the food is just delicious! The brown stew king fish is my go to. I will say though, I just went there yesterday and everyone I was with asked for extra gravy and were told sure, as usual...there wasn't any extra gravy or almost any gravy when we began to eat our food. Also, for some reason, the cabbage was only sprinkled on top in on area. I haven't seen that before and didn't like that I was only able to enjoy two fork fills of cabbage. May next time be better because I will be back. Still great food, just need to check my food before leaving.“
“The Chicken patty here is so good but for the beef patty it tastes a bit cold and under cooked but this place is still Delicious and they are so nice to kids if i could put a 4.75 i would, they need to renovate the place.Kid-friendliness: they are very nice to kids and they help the kids all the time.“
“Ordered from this place over the weekend, and I wasn't really impressed to be honest. I originally ordered oxtail with Rasta pasta and homemade ginger beer only to get a call 2 minutes later telling they didn't have Rasta pasta OR the homemade ginger beer. I had to get Mac and cheese instead. I won't lie they DEFINITELY made up for it because they gave me TWO drinks and a large oxtail instead of the medium I originally asked for. The food wasn't bad, the mac and cheese was oily...it wasn't anything I'd jump and holler for....but the customer service was good. They also packaged the food VERY well making sure none of it spilled which I also appreciated!“
“This is definitely a good jamaican restaurant. You can get a whole meal for $7.00 oxtails rice and peas with plantains ,not bad.and the wait isn't long at all. Not to mention the young lady that works there customer service was pleasant.don't for get there pineapple sodas, jamaican style.“
“The food is great, the quantity is large. The best fried chicken I've had in Long Island... Th3 Curry goat, Jerk chicken, oxtail, Oeas and rice. All excellent. I live across the street from there, and I eat there every other night. Sometimes back to back. ?Try it, you'll like it!!! Their food taste like ( More) You eat it once and That's what you will want. " More".?“
“I told the server that the menu had sweet chili chicken and I had sweet chili chicken & shrimp the last time I went to The Door with my friend. He stated that shrimp & chicken wasn't on the menu on Sundays. To my pleasant surprise when my meal arrived, there was shrimp added to my sweet chili chicken. I thought that was nice and very accomodating. I'll definitely dine there again. The lemonade, which is really lime juice, is refreshing!!“
“There food is grate, reminds me of home. Staff is warm, friendly and easy to get along with. Now add to there cozy dinning is a mini bar where you can enjoy a drink of your choice either before or after your mean or if you just need a drink. Don't worry your drink can be as cold as North pole but the warn smile of the bar maid lovely call "Pinky" might just make you drink and don't even realize you have a brain freeze. Stop by and get the experience.“
