This is the ultimate Caribbean comfort food! I ordered the veggie plate with plantains and jerk BBQ sauce. Their cabbage is so flavorful, as well as their red beans and rice! Hubby got the Jerk BBQ chicken. You can have the jerk mild or spicy, too. Everything was awesome! Big portions! Reasonably priced! Online ordering is easy. Highly recommend Ela's!

This is the best Caribbean restaurant in the area. The food was excellent. Just make sure to call ahead. They take time to prepare orders but it is well worth the wait. The restaurant is clean and in a safe location.

Very clean!!! I wished I had placed an order online!! I believe they make everything to order!! (49 minute wait)A worker asked that I use the kiosk to place order. (which was fine) had order Jerk chicken, pasta, plantains and beef patties!! Everything was delicious!! I ate majority of the food right there in parking lot (imma big girl) I will most definitely be back!!! Yes it's worth the hour drive!!!! Please go support!!!

Coming from a professional exec. Chef, this is Amazing authentic Jamaican food!I’ve ordered dinners for my girlfriend & I with sides and we always try to order something different to try outside of our usual meals everytime!The food is always served hot, super flavorful, packed with spices and herbs, and the heat/spicy level is perfect. Just enough to get your attention, but not too much to burn your mouth.The jerk chicken is soo juicy, the red beans & rice are on point and the Rasta pasta/ cabbage is always a must to get with your main protein choices. The fried plantains are amazing!The jerk bbq wings are amazing as well! Grab yourself a coco bread to soak up all those juices and sauce when you’re done, you won’t be disappointed.The staff, the food and the service makes Ela’s kitchen a hidden gem! If you are looking forAuthentic Jamaican cuisine, this is the spot. 5 stars everytime!

I personally thought the oxtails didn’t have much flavor. However, i would come back because this is close to my house

Ela's is a piece of nostalgia from my childhood in South FL. This is legit authentic Caribbean cuisine with bold but balanced flavors. The technique and execution of the food is spot on. Highly recommend the curried goat with red beans and rice and steamed cabbage. The beef patty filling and dough are on point. Beef patties have great spice. Ela is friendly and efficient but it's not fast food as she says. It's all made to order. Order in advance, worth every second of the wait. Get to Ela's!!!

I have wanted to try this place for like two years. I have picked up a fair number of Uber orders from then over the years and it always smelled so delicious.I got the curry goat large, jerk chicken small, coco bread, and a beef patty.Everything was absolutely anazing.The beef patty was flakey and the ratio of meat to pastry was perfect. I would go back just for those.The coco bread was fluffy and well made perfect for the sauce.My chicken was prepared perfectly it was still moist and the flavor was amazing. I got it mild spicy but for my palate i would say it was more of a medium spicy. I would still definitely recommend it. I got a side of rice and cabbage and that was all well cooked as well.My boyfriend had the goat curry and a side of rice and red beans and rice. he couldn’t stop telling me how good it was and next time to just get him two sides of red beans and rice.The wait time was long but as with good food that is normally the case so i dont mind.I spent around 35$ and had an amazing mealI will definitely be back.
