4 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Utica

“i love the cabbage mac n cheese, curry chicken, rice n peas“

“I had read several reviews on Jamaican restaurants in Utica. THE name Simma was mentioned twice in comparison to the restaurant being reviewed. IT was recommended over the reviewed one!! I decided to try the place. My gf and I went during the week. She had the jerk chicken, I had the ccurry chicken . You get a dish with the main entree and a generous portion of seasoned rice and steamed cabbage. It was enough to warrant a to go container. She had fresh baked coconut pound cake made with coconut water or milk. I normally can't stand coconut, but the cake was flavored with just a hint of coconut. It was amazing! The owner a d hostess is a sweetheart and very proud of her cooking and the business. We talked as if we were old friends but had just met!! Ive been there 3 times so far. The interior is essentially concrete blocks painted green. I wouldn't go there trying to impress your date!! However, the food is quality and quantity above the competition! There are certain restaurants that you know and rank them in comparison to a new place; becoming your own reference point! So far, Simma is my reference!!! Good luck and God bless!!!“

“Absolutely LOVE this hidden gem in Utica. The owners are so very kind and accommodating. Every time we placed an order, our food has been fresh, spicy, and delicious. My favorite is the jerk chicken, rice and peas, and the Mac and cheese. Do yourself a favor and try Jamican food. It’s been a weekly meal for our family, we just love it soooo much!!“
