“RUN-DON'T WALK! The food was beyond great, and the server was the most friendly Jamaican restaurant cashier I have ever met. I've eaten Jamaican food my entire life all across the country and have I yet encountered such a friendly staff. The oxtails were perfectly cooked. The rice and peas were moist and flavorful. The cabbage had hints of pepper and perfectly seasoned. The beef Patty, which to me was my favorite part of the meal was made fresh and you can tell! The price was a bit steep. But I knew that going in, because Jamaican restaurants nowadays are fairly expensive, but every bite was worth every dollar.“

“I've visited Jamaica twice, and this place is the absolute closest to their cuisine. This is the place to eat some good Caribbean food!!“

“This is officially my new favorite spot, the salmon chicken jerk pasta is literally generational and life changing. Ordered almost one of everything on the menu and it was all 5 stars, the beef patty was incredible, the oxtail was crazy, even the sides blew me away. Seriously could not recommend this place more“

“I remember trying this place when I first moved to Cincinnati because it’s conveniently right around the corner and wanted to try it based on all the good reviews, I remember disliking half of my meal but liking the other half , I remember the macaroni and cheese being pretty good and the cornbread being the best I’ve ever had fast forward to today and still kind of mixed reviews because once again I liked some parts and disliked other parts , the macaroni this time wasn’t that great it was very oily ? Potato salad was good and the hot dog was good , the Jamaican beef patty was tough asf , cornbread was decent , I’ll probably try again as I always give places a three strikes and your out type of thing not gonna say it’s great but it’s good I think I just need to keep trying different things from them til I get a niche for something I like“

“Shangos has the best wings in Cincinnati hands down. I fly from NY 2-3 times per year just to get the Jerk smoked wings, jerk chicken nachos, fish tacos and my fav drink the blue dreamsicle . Ian has the best customer service and is such the sweetest boy. I love the everything about this restaurant, cant wait to come back“
