    Stewed Steak
    Shana S.

    The service has always been terrible, but this is one of the better locations as far as food/flavor. But when I tell you, RUDE!! Attitude, for no reason at all. Look, the service is bad, but the place is clean and the food is good. Get you a carrot cake for dessert.

    This location serves the best food. Overpriced. The food comes with attitude. Rude for no reason at all. The place is always clean and well decorated.

    This was the small size . Costed about $13 with tax. The portions here are large and the prices are reasonable. I was skeptical to try this spot after reading the reviews . But I am happy I decided to try it for myself. The place is very casual nothing fancy at all your typical homey mom and pop shop. I ordered my food . Was served it with no issues and went on my way . As a person new to the area I'm happy I found a Caribbean spot that's close by that I can get food from . Will be coming back to try out other menu items . Pleasantly surprised:) This is the king fish , rice and peas with steamed veg ( cabbage) . If you're not a person that particularly love spicy food, this escovich might be a bit much for you.

    Jerk chicken
    Doreen L.

    Oh! Absolutely! I have only been to two Jamaican/Caribbean places in Beantown, so far, but I would choose this over any other. The food was pretty close to what I've eaten in our previous residence. The flavor is on point, and the portions are worth your monies ..and yes! We traveled over an hour for this food! The staff is friendly and attentive to customers' needs. No hustle about anything! We had curry goat and jerk chicken, plus the passion/pineapple juice. Ate to our fill and had leftovers to take home. Located right in front of the Green-line (E) and less than 10 mins from the Nubian T stop, you have no reason not to go over and try it. There's plenty of seating for dine-in. We shall return!

    King Fish & Vegetables, Rice & Peas, Plantain
    Raya V.

    I love stopping here because I'm never disappointed. The food is always fresh when I come and it tastes delicious. Last time I came we ordered King Fish with vegetables, rice and peas, and plantain and Pepper Steak with rice and peas and plantain. Everything was great. Definitely stop by if you're around and want a nice hearty meal.

    Oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage
    Byanca Y.

    I mean look at the plates it speaks for itself. It looks great and tastes even better. We got the rice and peas with cabbage and oxtail and the same thing except with stewed goat. You can tell they clean and prepare their meats well because there is no gamey taste to it. It's just super tender and welll made.

    I went back yesterday and they've increased the price by over $1. I expected the food to taste better due to the price change. However, the quality of the food got worse. They give more rice and less chicken now.

    Delicious food!! Good family vibes, sweet elders. Ask for the hot sauce . Enough food to last for days!!

    ox tail with the bean rice and lettuce is so good!!! the ox tail is a hit or miss depending on the day. I also got some beef patty! use the hot sauce on the tables its delicious!!! I also tried the jerk chicken it was kind of dry. parking: hard to find meters esp in the longwood area!

    This review is for getting take-out twice. Great flavor, price, and portions! Got the large chicken curry both times. So flavorful. They usually ask if you want sauce on the rice (my answer is always yes!) but if they don't, just remind them. For $12, you can't beat this price in the longwood area. I was able to split it up into 2 portions. Make sure to let the staff know if you want to dine in or take out. You're not allowed to eat the take out portions in the dining area. Takes about 10-15 minutes to get in and out depending on how much staff is available and whether there's a line of customers.

    Jamaica Mi Hungry - Pulled Jerk Pork entree with sides of Mac N' Cheese and Brussel Sprouts

    Went to an event catered by Jamaica Mi Hungry earlier this year and it was FANTASTIC! Every single…read moredish was delicious and incredibly well seasoned. Some highlights: Garlic shrimp - these were huge and juicy with the perfect amount of garlic flavor. Having this on the rice and beans was heaven on a place and I had several helpings of this! Chicken - this was a little spicy for me, but that's just a personal preference. I could tell that this was well seasoned and people more tolerant to spice would love this - the chicken was still juicy and saucy. This also pairs well with the rice and beans! Plantains - nothing over the top but a nice sweeter bite to balance out the plate. Yummy! Mac n cheese - this was one I wasn't super crazy about - I think a bit more cheese would have been nice here but it wasn't a bad bite. All in all, 4/5 as there were some dishes that didn't blow me away, but the garlic shrimp with the rice and beans is to die for. Would happily have this again or go to the food truck location to order it!

    I love Jamaican food so I try to venture out to Jamaica Plain as often as I can!! This unassuming,…read morecasual restaurant offers a wide variety of authentic Jamaican cuisine. Service was quick, seeing as you order from the counter. We ordered the jerk chicken plate with plantains and mac & cheese, and the oxtail plate with curry vegetable stew and rice & beans! The jerk chicken was tender and cooked nicely but wasn't the jerk flavor I was used to. It was a wet sauce instead of a dry rub and kinda tasted like teriyaki...? The plantains were normal, nothing crazy. Mac and cheese was lowkey yum, not too thick. Oxtail was better than the jerk chicken flavor-wise but the meat wasn't cooked as well. The meat didn't fall off the bone like other oxtail does :( The sauce was also a bit thin so it didn't coat the meat as well. The rice & beans were solid, had flavor to it and was even better with the sauce from oxtail. The veggie stew was good too but again, nothing crazy. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal but unsure if I would go again. There are so many other places in/near JP that I would try first. Still, if you're looking for fast casual Jamaican food, check this place out!!

I appreciated how much this place leans into both cultures from decor showcases both cultures to their balanced menu featuring dishes from both. There is ample seating at this place and dont let the construction outside deter you because they are open. We ordered the cheese manakish to start, and this might have been my favorite dish. Balanced with two types of cheese with a light airy texture to it kept it from feeling too dense. The pita its on is crunchy and thin, and theres a drizzle of sauce, likely some form of pesto, that cuts the flavor making it a truly enjoyable dish. We also ordered the chicken kebabs and roasted jerk chicken. The kebabs were a great portion with tender chicken, some greens, and grains. I personally could have used more tzakai, but thats a personal preference. Overall though, the meal did not feel heavy and I left feeling full but not overtly stuffed which I was happy with. My husband's jerk chicken was a sizable dish. The chicken was tender and fell right off the bone, and the pilaf had a nice flavor to it. Overall we really enjoyed our meals. The service can take some time, but its a super small staff so just be patient.

There were lamb, chicken, and kibbeh kabobs, tzatziki with cucumbers, salad, and mushroom rice. The mushroom rice had a great flavor and a crispness that was like that delicious part of the rice that sticks to the bottom of the pan. There was a trio of hummus- lentil, beet, and standard, with fresh pita to scoop it up. Great- my favorites were actually the lentil and the beet. The plantain appetizer had a beautiful presentation, on the charred plantain skin. The plantains had crisp kind of caramelized edges. The pikliz on top was tasty and had a kick. My partner and dad liked the griot- a crunchy pork that reminded them of chicharron. The entrees were not my favorite, but the rest of the party enjoyed them. I think the move is to get the mezze platters and appetizers. Almost forgot! The basque cheesecake is quite unique- with a passion fruit sauce to die for.
