Leftover and microwaved. "Jerk Sauce" taste like water, salt & browning. Not pictured is the jerk chicken which look like they cut up to heat the inside on a skillet. Disappointing. Too many better jamaican spots around. read more

Real Jamaican cuisine with authentic Jamaican flavors! Loved every bite, we ordered the jerk pork which was juice flavorful spicy and delicious. If you happen to catch the lunch special during the week, you'll be getting a good amount of food at a reasonable price! The establishment itself is a small hole in the wall, has a few seats available but it's mainly take out. I do think the lady in the front should be a little nicer especially when it's not a regular, kindness goes a long way. But over all the food was amazing read more

One of the tastiest and best quick meals I've had recently. My boy friend and I ordered a late night dinner after we drove to Miami over the weekend. We had the Jerk chicken, rice and peas plate which was served with sautéed cabbage and cooked plantains. The jerk chicken was juicy, smoky, perfectly blackened, extremely tasty and great quantity of meat for 1 portion that served 2 hungry tired souls. The rice and black beans combo was quite filling, flavourful and yummy. We devoured the meal instantly. Am craving for it again while am typing this review thousands of miles away. We ordered DoorDash so cannot comment on the service or ambiance. read more

Ordered this for Delivery after a long day on the ocean and boy did it hit the spot. These days I am always craving chicken with peas and rice so when I was scrolling through my delivery options and saw Jerk Chicken I was sold. Very quick preparation and delivery. Very generous portion as you can see from the photo! The chicken was delicious; probably a half bird I think. Super flavorful; and that sauce that came with it was great! A nice little burst of heat. Peas and rice were delicious probably made the right way with coconut milk. Especially the bites where that yummy sauce had leaked through! Amazing! I would totally come back here and would love to actually have the time and energy to dine in and get the full experience! But I have no regrets and enjoyed a wonderful meal! read more

I heard friends talk about this restaurant; however, the food wasn't good at all. Not flavourful, just overall bad. I ordered from them online, which wasn't great, so I decided to give them another try and went in to order. The jerk chicken was just hot, not flavourful, just hot, and the rice was dry and just wrong. The sauce was watery and seemed like a lot of spice, don't get me wrong, I love jerk chicken. And you are supposed to taste it in the meat, but this wasn't the case. It was just bad and not good at all. There's easy parking out front if you want to drop in for a quick pick-up. But it's also located on a busy street. read more

You have to look hard for it but you'll be glad you found it. Clean place, friendly family staff and welcoming prices, a plus for the era we live in. I got a curry chicken lunch special which included a hefty portion of chicken, white rice, steamed vegetables and plantain with a fresh lemonade for $5.95. Same price and deal for the jerk chicken. Both were delicious. They also have a badass sound system which I'm sure plays reggae well into the night when they have events. Amazing place I'm very glad to have found. read more

Found some kind of nasty waxy paper in my food after I ate more than half. I feel sick. Don't know if it's all in my head or if whatever it was physically made me ill. This is the time of Covid. Hygiene of a restaurant should be 1000% better, and it's not. I took the food back and they reimbursed me. But what bothered me is that there were 2 other customers there and the staff were whispering so as to not let the other customers know that I was returning contaminated food. And they continued to serve food without checking how much was contaminated. And they initially tried to keep the $1 tip I gave when I initially bought. Even though I did pickup, I still tipped because I know Resturants are struggling these times. But it goes to show you that restaurant don't really care about what they do with your food. read more

I ordered this oxtail plate on Uber eats where the plate alone is $19. First time customer. The woman I spoke to at the restaurant was nice but I asked her "how is a oxtail plate $19?" She explained it's $14.95 if I walk in but I didn't have that option. I'm Bahamian so that just seems a little pricey than what I'm use to. I won't bash the food but for the price...it's mediocre. When I say NO SEASONING baby....NONE. I had to literally season my cabbage AND oxtail, which should always have a depth in flavor. Not to mention they gave me TWO pieces of plantain for a $19 plate :) two pieces....however, once I stopped and seasoned my plate, it was pretty good. AND even though the oxtail was cooked bland, it fell off the bone, I give them that. Overall, I think I'll past next time. read more

From word of mouth, I heard from a relative that Cliff's restaurant was the go to place for authentic Jamaican food. I've been to a few spots here in Miami and I have to say that this may very well be my new spot for Jamaican/island food. We ordered the Jerk Pork dinner which included jerk pork, brown rice and beans, cabbage, and jerk sauce. The service was speedy and the wait time was less than 10 min. So, fast forward, got home and let me tell you, the food was plentiful and most importantly delicious!!! I have been wanting jerk pork for awhile now and I am so happy that I came here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone, and can't wait to return and try some of the other menu items. 5 starts easily! read more

Great little Jamaican spot to get food. Always flavorful and good portioning. A variety of juices to choose from. Soups are always delicious and on Saturdays they have Mannish Water. Great pricing on lunch specials from 11am to 3pm. You can get jerk chicken rice and peas for under $10 or even curry. Slices of cake is also available. If you have diet restrictions you can ask to substitute the rice and peas for steamed vegetables. It's a small place that can get busy so at times you have to be patient. Construction in the area makes it hard to park. The food makes up for it all. Cliffs food is great on any day at any time read more

I've only ever had their lunch specials, it's an unbeatable deal for this area and food. The food has never let me down. The ambiance is certainly questionable as this is not a "dine in" kind of spot. It certainly has a hole in the wall restaurant vibe. Service is generally on the slower side, but you're really not coming here for fast service. I encourage anyone to order ahead of time on the phone and then pick up. Parking can be a bit of a mess as people normally lock each other in, but normally a simple request of someone to move their car does the job. read more

Delicious. Open late. Consistent. They even have great lunch specials. I prefer calling the restaurant and ordering food directly from them as pricing appears to be more expensive on third party apps, plus this is a mom and pop shop so ordering and delivering dollars directly to them cuts out the middle man making pricing both better for the customer and the restaurant. I've been coming here for years. The curry goat is good, the oxtail is good, but the jerk pork hits in a way beyond this world. It takes me back to my childhood and I'm not even Jamaican. All in all, I highly recommend. read more

If you're looking for something unique to try at the Citadel, Manjay is worth a shot. They serve Haitian cuisine. Portions were generous and in general, the food was kind of heavy. Many of the components I believe were made to order, so there was a short wait. Here's what my wife and I ordered: Appetizer: * Caribbean Conch Fritters ($14) - Manjay pikliz, honey mustard remoulade These were big and tasty. Six pieces, like giant hush puppies with conch inside. The plate came with pikliz in the center. Pikliz is like the Haitian version of coleslaw, made with cabbage, carrots, onions, and peppers. Manjay's version was spicy and yummy. Bowls, each with 2 sides and 1 sauce: * Honey Jerk Chicken Bowl ($18) - breaded and tossed in Manjay's homemade honey jerk sauce; with red beans rice and sweet plantains and scotch bonnet mango aioli * From Haiti with Love (Griyo) ($18) - Deep-fried Kreyol-style slow-braised pork; with banan payzay and toofay Both the chicken and pork were very good and flavorful. The pork was served bone-in. The rice and beans and sweet plantains were comforting and addictive. The scotch bonnet mango aioli was spicy. Banan payzay are Haitian pressed plantains. These were savory and starchy. The toofay ("legume") was good too. It's a hearty vegetable stew, essentially Haitian ratatouille. Our cashier was Roniqua and she was nice. During our visit, I think Manjay had the longest line (a good sign). After walking around, looking at the other food court options and seeing Manjay's high rating on Yelp, we were sold on Manjay. We dined in so we got real plates and silverware. We actually took everything up to the rooftop bar and ate up there. Our trays were bussed by the staff on the roof. Along with this location at the Citadel food court in Little River (just north of Little Haiti), Manjay has a casual strip location near the Miami airport in Doral. This Citadel location is the original; it opened in February 2019. The Doral location opened in 2024.

From the regular menu, we ordered the bbq toro and the oxtail udon. The duck dumplings had a rich au jus, great. Our favorite app was the sweet potato croquette. Slightly sweet, a satisfying crunch, but soft in the center with tender brisket. The white bbq sauce and parm gave it a nice smoky nuttiness. Ordered another round, they were so good! The bbq toro had an amazing smokey flavor and a nice citrusy butter as the sauce. The cut was perfect. The oxtail udon was really hearty, and by far the best dish we had (though all the dishes were seriously incredible). It comes with a cured egg yolk, which they mix for you tableside.

The hostess told me there was a "Hungry Post" event happening. I asked about the price and she said it was $100 per person. Okay, fine -- but when I asked what the event included or what it was about, she seemed unsure and said it was "just a party" and that you just go in. No explanation of what was included, no specials, nothing. Charging $100 per person just to attend a "party" with no clear details feels odd and poorly communicated. I genuinely want this place to succeed because the food and drinks are great -- I just wish they would focus on that and improve communication and organization instead of trying so hard to be trendy.

Let's start with the mojito that came with such a large piece of sugar cane. It was so good! The waiter recommended my meal and it was delicious. The meat was tender and well seasoned.

I loved the restaurant decor and everyone was so friendly. Our waiter was very knowledgeable and gave great menu recommendations.

The black beans and rice however were perfect and they balanced out everything we ate. The Cuban sandwich was what you'd want/expect it to be. Very nice The Cuban Fried Rice was the favorite dish for all of us. Everything in it was authentic and well done. What I appreciate about the food here is that nothing is over seasoned. I absolutely love spice but Cuban food isn't that. The food speaks for itself and they stay true to that

There is NO adequate parking at this "restaurant". After being at the same location for so long, you would think they could at least fix up the gravel area at the side of the building to make parking comfortable for customers who love their food so VERY much. In addition, when I walked in, I couldn't believe how small the inside is ... not a good place to be in If you are claustrophobic. I was also surprised to hear the price of their bad tasting beef patty that seem to come out of a refrigerated box rather than made there. If they are selling jerk beef or pork or another special type of patty, I can understand, but the price they charge for a simple beef patty is ridiculous!!. It's about time they improve the crummy, small inside so that when customers walk in they will know they are in a restaurant and not a dump! Your customers are paying good money for their food so they deserve better! read more

The food tastes like any other Caribbean restaurant I've been to, nothing special. It tasted like it was leftover microwaved, not freshly prepared. The prices are on the high end for the portion sizes. I've had better-tasting island food, with bigger portions, for much less!! The amount of time we waited for the food to be served was really ridiculous, and as I said the portions were so small!! Parking is also a headache. I do not plan on going back. read more

If you're looking for something unique to try at the Citadel, Manjay is worth a shot. They serve Haitian cuisine. Portions were generous and in general, the food was kind of heavy. Many of the components I believe were made to order, so there was a short wait. Here's what my wife and I ordered: Appetizer: * Caribbean Conch Fritters ($14) - Manjay pikliz, honey mustard remoulade These were big and tasty. Six pieces, like giant hush puppies with conch inside. The plate came with pikliz in the center. Pikliz is like the Haitian version of coleslaw, made with cabbage, carrots, onions, and peppers. Manjay's version was spicy and yummy. Bowls, each with 2 sides and 1 sauce: * Honey Jerk Chicken Bowl ($18) - breaded and tossed in Manjay's homemade honey jerk sauce; with red beans rice and sweet plantains and scotch bonnet mango aioli * From Haiti with Love (Griyo) ($18) - Deep-fried Kreyol-style slow-braised pork; with banan payzay and toofay Both the chicken and pork were very good and flavorful. The pork was served bone-in. The rice and beans and sweet plantains were comforting and addictive. The scotch bonnet mango aioli was spicy. Banan payzay are Haitian pressed plantains. These were savory and starchy. The toofay ("legume") was good too. It's a hearty vegetable stew, essentially Haitian ratatouille. Our cashier was Roniqua and she was nice. During our visit, I think Manjay had the longest line (a good sign). After walking around, looking at the other food court options and seeing Manjay's high rating on Yelp, we were sold on Manjay. We dined in so we got real plates and silverware. We actually took everything up to the rooftop bar and ate up there. Our trays were bussed by the staff on the roof. Along with this location at the Citadel food court in Little River (just north of Little Haiti), Manjay has a casual strip location near the Miami airport in Doral. This Citadel location is the original; it opened in February 2019. The Doral location opened in 2024.
