As good as I remember it. Excellent jerk chicken with peasrice, and collards. Huge portions. (The pic I had already eaten about half greens). Chicken is juicy tender and falls off the bone. FYI. Limited seating mostly a call ahead place now but outside seating possible. But even on a Sunday lunch time it was pretty quick. read more

This restaurant was recommended by a friend the service was awesome polite and efficient. They offered great suggestions the spice on the curry was just right. The cabbage was cooked to the right tenderness.the rice and peas was a little off some was mushy other was dry. Not sure what caused that. The oxtail was good the bones were large I prefer the smaller pieces. read more

Lovely little stop for traditional Jamaican fare. They serve excellent Jerk Chicken and fresh fish delights. They also have vegetarian dishes. I noticed many people i assume are from the Caribbean eating here. What better seal of approval? They have a spectacular Callaloo dish and know how to prepare Oxtail better than you've ever had it! The service is fast. The portions are large and filling. Bring a sliver of the Caribbean to Columbus, but pick your times wisely, they don't accept reservations. 09/24 read more

Good food... Great service. Very authentic. Parking was a little odd in the back but other than that it was well worth the stop.

I brought my CEO who was visiting from out of town here for lunch because she is from Jamaica and wanted some authentic Caribbean food. She and Ms. Ena got to chatting and then ate the food and I got two thumbs up!! She said she was pleasantly surprised to get such good Jamaican food in the Midwest. We will be back every time she is in town. read more

Best jerk chicken you will get anywhere people come from all over the state to eat here. I've been coming here for years and wouldn't dare go anywhere else, Mama Ena and her family are the best. Great food great people. read more

This place is amazing. I've been getting it for years and the jerk chicken is wonderful. In the service is pretty good.

I love Ena's. I ordered a deep-fried turkey for Thanksgiving this year and let me tell you Wow excellent taste amazing they had all their seasoning rubbed into the meat so flavorful. i highly recommend Ena's! Thank you, Marlin, and all over at Ena's. read more

Enas is such a great place to grab some bomb authentic Caribbean food. The service was very quick and the lady that checked us out was very nice. The is no seating inside, only outback. The parking is very small and the area isn't the best. However that doesn't affect the magic in the kitchen. Everything was cooked to perfection and we tried all of the sides. I would go back again!!! read more

Jerk chicken was awesome. So much food in the takeout meal that I had to split into two meals

Great food makes you feel like eating a home-made meal. Highly recommend Sunday brunch!

I have known about this restaurant for a long time, the oxtails are very tasty and the chicken is too. The rice is very dry, and the cabbage is dry too. I am from NYC and all the Jamaican Restaurants in Columbus Ohio can't hold a candle to the Jamaican Restaurants in New York City. I wanted to order Akie and Salt fish, and they didn't have it. they advertise it on the menu. they don't offer boiled dumpling, nor do they have yuca. overall, I would order again because they have very good Oxtails and chicken. read more

Ena's Caribbean Kitchen got me right after work! This Jamaican spot if Guy Fieri approved so if you are trying to take a trip to flavor town, this place will indeed get you there. When all I was craving was flavor, spice and all things nice. It was easy to park in the back or you can turn on Myrtle and Cleveland Avenue to park on the side. I got in easy and stood in line. Mask not required for vaccinated peeps but there's no dine in and social distance is encouraged. I ordered the Jerk Chicken with Mac and cheese and collard greens. The smell permeates my senses in my car. I was ready. When I got home, I set this bad boy out and took a bite of that food.... when I tell you I had to bite and savor each scoop.... man.... it's a lot of food. I eat the other half the next day over rice... 5 stars cuz...man.... read more

I heard about Ena's and read many great reviews so I decided to try it for myself. I had the stewed chicken with white rice and collard greens. The chicken didn't taste like the typical Jamaican stewed chicken that I'm used to. Ena's chicken was more like a baked chicken with a thin gravy on top. The tastes wasn't bad, it just wasn't Jamaican stewed chicken. I was very surprised to see collard greens on the menu, this was a first. The collard greens were not to my liking because I could taste the vinegar. But, that may just be a mid-west thing. But, I found the service to be fast and the staff was very pleasant. I probably wouldn't go back to Ena's based on my experience. read more

We eat here almost weekly. I've had everything on the menu at least twice. I can say, without doubt, that Ena's has the BEST escovitch fish. The greens.and macaroni & cheese are pretty good too; they seem homemade. Parking can be tricky, but we have good luck parking next to the building on Myrtle. The inside of the restaurant is clean and functional. Call in your take-out order early because they don't stay open late. There are a few seats if you want to dine in, but it seems that most people get takeout. read more

I have been here a few times. Excellent customer service; food is delicious; pound cake is good--not too sweet. One of my favorite Jamaican restaurants. Would come here more often if it was closer to home. read more

Amazing!! Everything is so incredible and I love to eat everything minus the increased poundage! Whatevs! I am all in read more

Lady at the counter was super sweet! Food was delicious. The jerk chicken fell off the bone. Highly recommend for a big lunch.

I was craving oxtails and they didn't disappoint!! The service was good, they were busy, but still had my food pretty quickly. The food tasted like I was over a friend's house, it tasted good and fresh. read more

I'm always on the hunt for a good Jamaican restaurant whenever work brings me to a new city. Sometimes I find a mediocre one and sometimes I find an authentic spot like Ena's. I visited twice while I was in town. I was not disappointed. I had the jerk chicken, the Bbq Jerk chicken and also the spicy beef patty. The jerk chicken was full of flavor and seasoned well. There was some heat but nothing off putting. The Bbq Jerk chicken was a nice take on a classic which sees the regular jerk chicken smothered in sweet bbq sauce. The beef patty was also well done. A flaky crust and spicy beef made for a great snack. Notable mention goes to the rice and peas which I chose as a side. If I had to critique it would be be about the service. I got the typical "no smile, just order" treatment. I was not really bothered by this as the food made up for the service, or lack thereof. Ena's does Jamaican good right and I would gladly go back if I had another project in town. read more

Delicious. The food is really well seasoned, spicy but not just hot for the sake of hot. The dinners definitely make at least a meal and a snack, if not two meals. The jerk chicken is my favorite so far, but the curry goat was great as well. Not totally impressed with their COVID protocols - they have lots of hand sanitizer and signs about distancing and masks, but then the woman at the counter was pulling down her mask to talk. That's... not how COVID works. I got in and out reasonably quickly, but it was still uncomfortable, and if you're concerned, delivery may be the best way to go. read more

The customer service isn't the best, but the good makes up for it! The bbq jerk chicken is soooo good. I screamed on my first bite. It was perfectly cooked. The cabbage and rice were also great. The Mac n cheese I could have done without. They messed up my second order and gave me white rice, but said they would give it to me on my next order. Def try them out. Order over the phone before you go. They're always busy n take a while. read more

Incredible tasting food that hits that craving spot. Friendly service and it only takes a few minutes to get your order. The restaurant is not really set up for dining in besides a couple of high bistro style tables, most people take their food to go. read more

Great food but customer service as far as answering phone or being open on time sucks when you have a lunch break and have to be back to work. read more

Mac - pass, no sauce at all, the only cheese in it is from the original top Greens - pass, heavy on the vinegar and no seasoning Goat - pass, tender but no flavor besides turmeric, no sauce at all and they should tell you it's white meat Overall: No spice at all for the curry goat, over priced for what I received. read more

I went here with coworkers and a client, and was hesitant at first. The neighborhood isn't the best and the look both inside and outside is deceiving. We walked in and took a look at their menu board which has the perfect amount of options. I ended up with the jerk chicken with cabbage and beans and rice. My coworker got the ox tail. We waited about 10 minutes for our food which is welcomed because I know it's freshly made. We were lucky to get a table as they only have a couple places to sit. First, this was the best cabbage I've ever had! The flavor was on point and juicy and fresh. The jerk chicken had so much flavor. Bone in, skin on...just out of this world good. The portions are big and I didn't finish. Everyone at the table was pleased and I'll definitely be back! read more

They didn't pick up the phone so I couldn't make a pick up order and when I got there and it wasn't busy at all and the girl in the front had a very nasty attitude. I will never go back to this place again!!! read more

Im from South Florida, recently moved to Ohio. I wanted a taste of some authentic Caribbean curry. So I looked for one of the top rated cuisines in Columbus. So I went to Ena's, I was kind of excited when I first got there. When I tasted the Curry, it was terrible and if your from the islands you know the taste of authentic curry. Furthermore, the meals should come with two sides and two to three pieces plaintains. Ena's charges 5 dollars for a side. The meals at Caribbean restaurants come in three different sizes. I was very disappointed, and in conclusion they are not even real Jamaicans, I figured that out after eating the curry. read more

Food was amazing, SO MUCH FLAVOR! We got the jerk chicken and bbq jerk chicken to try them both, equally fantastic. Sides were great pairings with the chicken and nothing disappointed. The lady who took our order was so friendly and answered our questions on what she would recommend since it was our first visit. If you're thinking about visiting, stop wasting time and give it a try, it won't disappoint! read more

Best Jamaican food in Cbus, hands down. Big portions, perfect spice level. I've been coming here for nearly a decade and have tried nearly the whole menu and can recommend all but especially the jerk chicken w rice and peas and cabbage and I think they still have Sunday brunch with delicious creamy jerk pasta and shrimp and grits! Always super clean and friendly, get there now and grab a box of meat patties too read more

Excellent service delicious food and a very clean and bright dining/ordering environment

Worth the Drive! We drove to Ena's from Dayton on the recommendation of a food-loving friend. It was definitely worth the drive! We got there less than an hour before the place closed, but the food was fresh and tasty, and Ena's big smile welcomed us in. The Jerk Chicken was delicious - spicy and full of flavor. The Oxtails were also fantastic, braised in a dark and flavorful sauce. The cornbread was moist and tasty, and the collards were excellent! Omnivores are welcome here! Ena's also has a fun selection of Jamaican sodas. If you're looking for full-flavor, no-nonsense Caribbean cuisine, drive on over to Ena's! read more
