    Great food! But please change your hours listed here on Yelp. I live in Davenport and came all the way here to find out it closes at 7pm.

    Craving carribean oxtails and read the reviews on yelp…read more This is located at Kissimmee on Osceola pkwy area in a shopping plaza. Its kind of a challenge getting parking here I guess cause its a weekend and its a busy day to go. Upon entering the music of reggae / carribean music is playing its looked clean. Few tables and bar seating available. There is a section to point and see the array of foods they prepared but this day alot of the foods were covered in lids. I guess its a way to keep foods warm while sitting on the hot steam plate. The oxtail large plate was $25 with 2 sides plus choice of rice. Its a popular dish because when the lady tried to scoop oxtails all she had left in the pan was gravy. She went to the back and got more oxtails. She gave about 8 pcs of mixed sized oxtails. mostly large / medium sizes. She was "Careful" adding gravy and the oxtails as if she was counting how many drips of gravy and how many oxtails she was going to place in the plate - Also she was counting how many sweet plantains she was serving as a side. She gave me about 4-5 pcs of plantains. Seeing this I told her I want the cabbage in a separate container (Since she was careful with giving out the portions) - She then said its going to be $5 for the cabbage since its on a separate container. I was fine with it - even with the cabbage she was careful filling the container to the rim. This is why I decreased a star - Cabbage is cheap and plantains is cheap - Why so careful with these sides? I am paying a $25 plate - It should show that is how much food I am paying for. I am not sure if she was the owner (Light skinned older lady) - If she is then she should not be that cheap with portions especially on a high priced tag plate on her menu. They had array of fresh made juices I am unsure if they make them or they have a vendor - But they offered "Peanut Punch". Arizona cans (Tall) are $1 - I think those are the cheapest drink you can get in there. I saw someone just went in there and bout a few cans of arizona cans only. Jamaican patties are $3 - they offer curry and jerk chicken, mild, spicy. They had sold out of the mild patty - So I opted for the curry chicken patty. I asked about "Peanut porridge" that I read on yelp that was available only on weekends - But the lady asked me if I meant "peanut punch".. I was not sure but she said the Peanut Punch was $5. I asked for the frozen bottle since I had no plans on drinking the drink until a few days later. Let's talk about the food - Oxtails - The meats were fall off the bone and the gravy was thick and savory - however I think the taste - I like Golden crust gravy better as in taste. Golden crust gravy had more umami but this gravy is not bad - It was just kind of thick for my liking. The oxtails were def delicious though. Tender meat and like I said fall off the bone. Rice and Peas - This rice had a subtle coconut milk flavor in the rice itself - little sprinkles of the peas (beans) not much - It was ok rice .. It was dry for my liking - The oxtail gravy helped moistened the rice. Sweet Plantains - These were delicious. Sliced slanted and had the good amount of chew and sweetness. Just like the rice - Plantains are plantains they are either soggy or firm or just the right bite. Cabbage - These were ok - they were slightly bitter and overcooked. Somewhat too soft soggy cabbage. It had hints of sliced carrots - It needed more broth and black pepper taste to them. Curry chicken patty - These were delicious. The patty dough was delicious. The curry chicken was shredded chicken in curry and the hint of spice kicks in towards the bottom of the patty. No wonder they sell alot of the patties - They are delicious. I have not tried the peanut punch as yet - But I will update review once I do taste the drink.

    Good ambiance service was at a good rate. Once I receive the food it was nothing but fulfilling…read more The flavor of the jerk is a great combo to the good portions is rife and peas. I do think this is a great place to try

    I ordered pickup: jerk chicken, curry goat, and plantains. The jerk chicken and curry goat were…read moreamazing, and the chicken had a really nice heat to it. The plantains weren't the best I've ever had but I still enjoyed them. The order was ready pretty quickly. I would not go there to eat in the restaurant--wasn't the greatest vibe and the person behind the counter didn't seem the nicest. It's definitely more of a take out joint.

    This restaurant runs on Caribbean time.. which means-- late lol. We got there at 12:45pm, door…read morelocked, but a young woman opened up the door at 1:05pm. She said they're supposed to open at noon. They didn't have much food prepared and only had 3 options available (oxtail, curry chicken, & brown stew chicken). I will say, although none of the employees seemed pressed to move quicker despite the being so behind-- they were all very friendly. We ordered oxtail & curry chicken, but was given brown stew chicken instead of curry. I didn't bother letting the employee know since we had already been waiting for a while & needed to leave. The oxtail & chicken were super tender, which was great, but lacked spice and flavor. The rice was superrrrrrr sweet! I'm used to rice cooked in coconut milk-- but this rice seemed boiled in sweetened coconut cream-- it was like dessert honestly. To end on a good note-- they had no veggie Jamaican patties so we bought the beef and cheese one-- despite not having much filling, it was delicious and the crust was perfect! I'd go back just for the patties.

    I had a craving for island food for lunch, but Caribbean restaurants in this area are sporadic…read more Luckily through Yelp search, I was able to find a Jamaican restaurant eight miles away. Located in the Seville plaza, The Jamaican Dumpling Restaurant not only serves Jamaican cuisine but also Trinidadian roti. After greeting a male employee behind the counter, I placed an order for the guava bbq chicken which was served with rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and a side of fried plantain. After my order was ready in about 15 minutes, I sat at an available table to enjoy my meal. The steamed cabbage was tasty with a crunchy texture. The rice and peas was cooked to a soft consistency. The plantain were fried nicely. The star of the show was the chicken--tender pieces of meat covered in a sweet flavored sauce that had me sucking my fingers. My compliments to the cook, for the food was very enjoyable.

    This place had been on our vacation must-try list, and we squeezed it in on a rainy day right…read morebefore closing. So glad we did! The oxtail was everything I hoped for, and everyone loved their dishes (we shared bites, no regrets). The owner/chef was super kind, explained the menu, and even made a special chicken for my son when they ran out of wings. Authentic flavors, quality meat, and lots of heart. Don't skip this spot!
