    Jerk chicken with rice and beans.
    Nicholas U.

    Don't miss this spot! I decided to try this instead of my usual Midtown Market spots and it's an immediate favorite. I got an order of jerk chicken with rice and beans. Omg, my first bite blew my mind, I've had a lot of rice and beans in my day and these were maybe the best I've had. The chicken was great too, wonderful jerk flavor and juicy, succulent meat. Not that spicy. The order was huge, and it also came with a pair of great fried plantains. I got a Jamaican soda for a drink and loved it, eager to try the other flavors next time. Can't wait to dig into the rest of the menu!

    Overwhelmed by the options on our first visit to Midtown Global Market we reluctantly agreed to just a snack from Irie Jamaican Express. We both got the beef patties and boy were they good! They were served up quick with a smile and we proceeded to devour them. The folks working were pleasant and the vibe is inviting. The place is a little quiet for a Friday early evening, but don't let that deter you! The food is full of delicious flavor and Jamaican spices. We'll definitely circle back to try their other offerings.

    On my first day in Minneapolis, I decided to walk over to Harry Singh's. I was a little concerned…read moreby the boarded up glass door but decided to forge ahead and I'm glad I did. Harry is a friendly elderly man from Trinidad and Tobago. He is apparently very well known in Minnesota, particularly for his curries which I will be sure to try the next time I'm in state. Personally, I'm never able to resist jerk chicken and so upon sitting down, I promptly placed my order for jerk chicken and plantains. Unfortunately he was out of Caribbean punch but he made me a mixture of sorrel and ginger beer that was pretty good although a bit sweet for me. When my jerk chicken arrived at my table, I was in awe of the sheer amount of food I had unknowingly ordered (and very glad I hadn't ended up ordering the curry as well as one person) and of the smell. It was so hot it was smoking and I could immediately smell the flavors were legit and the chicken would be spicy. This jerk chicken was spicy in a way that sneaks up on you. I was surprised to feel my eyes watering! One of the other patrons was coughing from the spice of his meal so if you're not used to spicy food, definitely order a glass of milk in advance! The plantains were perfectly ripe, sweet and well cooked, just like I would make for myself! Harry was very kind and sweet and kept coming up to my table as well as his tables of regulars to chat and exchange stories. I'm not always the most chatty but I didn't feel uncomfortable speaking with Harry. Overall, I enjoyed my time and my meal at Harry Singh's and will be happy to return the next time I'm in the city

    I tried this restaurant after a friend recommended it. I got the jerk chicken with red beans and…read morerice, and a Jamaican meat patty. you get such a huge portion! probably enough for three or four people with the Jamaican jerk chicken and the red beans and rice. I took it to go and brought it home and ate it. My mouth was on fire, and I love spicy food, but I couldn't stop eating it because it was so good!

    Loved our lunch at Brasa! Not only is this place pretty healthy and does great with dietary…read morerestrictions, but the food does taste really, really good. I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs. The vegan bowl was to die for, I loved the mix of curry and pineapple (the best fruit, BTW), it all came together so well. The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive. Prices are mid-range, it's not cheap, but the food is worth it. They have a small patio and a larger indoor dining room. All in all, a great spot in NE Minneapolis!

    Amazing food and experience!! I took my dad here for dinner Tuesday night and we were both so…read moreimpressed. We are already planning the next dinner here. We sat outside on the patio and it had great ambiance with multi-colored string lights overhead. I had the chicken in gravy and he had the catfish sandwich and they were both phenomenal. We also had a side of grits which were great too. The server was very friendly and answered all of our questions. You are supposed to order on the QR code outside which is the only thing I would change because I think it's much quicker and easier to just order with your server. It took more of his time for me to order using the QR code because I had to ask him several questions about how to do it. But aside from that I loved this restaurant and will definitely be back soon!
