    Brown Stew Chicken with Rice & Peas
    Mellionie R.

    The food was damn good -- full of flavor, nicely seasoned, and cooked just right. I'd definitely order it again, but you really need to serve larger portions. $20 USD fi 2 small food and a Bigga soda -- it's not bad, but honestly, I feel like I could get a bit more value for that price elsewhere. The portion size just didn't match what I expected based on how it's listed. Also, you might want to update your DoorDash menu, because what exactly is "express serving"? When I ordered it, I thought I was paying for two large meals, since the label looked different from the "small" option. It was confusing, and I only realized after receiving the order. Still, props to the chef -- the food was on point! Just a little menu clarity and bigger portions, and it would've been perfect.

    I tried the oxtail here, I've tried better oxtail but this was still good. I may come back to try the little stew chicken special just because I saw it was around $6

    More like a 3.5. Had the jerk chicken mini meal. $5 for rice and two pieces of chicken. The chicken was a bit cold but the value is too good to really knock it. Also tried the spicy beef patty which was incredible and the lovely lady who took our order threw in a chicken curry patty to try and it was also good. They're open late and I'd go back to try their other foods. The oxtail at the table next to us looked/smelled awesome.

    I love Jam Eng's hours - after going out down town it's the perfect late night snack. The oxtails were so tender and were more meat than bone (which we LOVE). There's a decent amount of seating, which is great because it gets busy. Staff are friendly.

    Oxtails Meal

    This gave all the feels of a quick service restaurant. The oxtails were great with good flavor and gravy! I would have liked some additional seasoning on the cabbage but for people watching their salt intake, this allows you to add salt to your liking. It was warm in the restaurant but I rarely have been to a Caribbean restaurant that wasn't warm in the inside! Give it a go, you don't be disappointed.

    The service was amazing, and the lady working was so sweet! The music added such a nice touch to the atmosphere--it was definitely a whole vibe. The food was really good too, and the portions were super generous for the price. Overall, it's a 5/5 for me!

    You can smell the food down the street! We had the chicken patty, spicy beef patty and vegetable patty, and jerk chicken. Best Jamaican patties! He also threw in 2 vegan chicken wings for us to try! Everything was amazing, even the vegan chicken which we are not vegetarian by any stretch. Can't wait to go back for some oxtail which is a favorite of mine. Definitely will be back!

    Vegan Jerk "Drums" ($12)
    Rachel S.

    I ordered take-out here and thought the food tasted pretty good. I tried the vegan fish ($10) and jerk drumsticks ($12) which tasted flavorful with the sauce that came with it. The rice and veggies were just pure salty but it balanced well with the protein. Only downside was I had also ordered a Shepherds pie, but it was missing in the order. Turns out they had run out of it though it was only 4pm on a Saturday. At least they were nice about offering to make something else. They said they couldn't provide a refund directly, so I had to report the issue to Uber Eats. Good service by very friendly staff. Parking was a hassle, but that's to be expected downtown.

    Awesome beef patties. Staff was very friendly and owner very friendly. I highly recommend.

No complaints there at all. Beef Patty: 2/5 - The seasoning was actually pretty good, so the flavor was there. Unfortunately, the patty itself was very dry and had much less beef filling than I expected. I kept hoping for a better bite, but it never really happened. Coco Bread: 1/5 - It was served warm, which was nice, but it was also quite dry. I was expecting the soft, buttery, slightly sweet coco bread that's perfect for pairing with a patty. This one missed the mark for me. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible thanks to the excellent customer service, but the food just didn't live up to what I expect from a Jamaican restaurant. There are enough great Jamaican spots around Orlando, that I probably wouldn't make a return trip here. I was rushing on my break or I would've taken a photo.

The giant NOW OPEN banner was flapping like it personally invited me, and the storefront painted in bold Trinidad flag colors looked ready to hand out citizenship papers with every order. I walked in thinking I'd grab a quick bite. Rookie mistake, one look at the doubles and suddenly I'm ordering five. Then I'm calling my aunt and cousin like it's a family emergency: "Allyuh want doubles? Because these looking SERIOUS." Next thing you know, I'm walking out with ten doubles like I'm catering a small festival. And let me tell you, these doubles? Soft bara, perfectly seasoned channa, pepper and tamarind sauce hugging everything like a warm Caribbean auntie. I've basically been on a doubles‑only diet since, and honestly, I feel spiritually aligned. I even ate one cold from the fridge and it still slapped. That's when you know it's real. Then there's the boneless curry chicken with buss‑up‑shut. Pure comfort. The kind of meal that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. The potatoes were soft enough to spread on a cracker, the channa was rich and earthy, and the chicken tasted like somebody's grandmother was in the back whispering, "Put a lil' more seasoning, nah." The buss‑up‑shut was fluffy, torn, and ready to scoop up every drop of curry like it had a mission. And the pepper sauce? Flavorful. Respectful. Not trying to fight me or send me to the ER. A rare and beautiful thing. The place is clean, the parking is plentiful, and the staff has real Trini accents that instantly make everything feel more authentic. Even the way they say "Next!" has rhythm. Next time, I'm calling ahead for dhal phourie, because clearly this place does not miss and I'm not risking it selling out. If you see me there again, mind your business! I'm probably ordering another ten doubles and living my best life.

I happened to find Sherry's Trini while I was in Orlando for an exam and decided to give it a try. I ordered the potato and channa roti with pepper sauce on the side. The potato and channa was yum, well-seasoned. The pepper sauce was everything I needed. Now for the roti itself. If you're accustomed to a good dhalpuri or buss up shut, this one might leave you wanting a little more. It wasn't bad, but it lacked that soft, delicate, flaky texture. The filling was carrying the meal more than the roti did. Overall though, I appreciated finally finding a place in Florida serving Trini food that actually tastes like somebody put some love into it. It's hard to come by down here. While the roti wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, the potato and channa definitely satisfied the craving and I'd still come back to get some other fixes.

Plus, they were on Uber Eats and I didn't feel like going out. Ordered my usual Jamaican dish - brown stew chicken with rice and peas and vegetables. Started out with the carrot cake - 10/10. Cake was moist, cream cheese icing was creamy and not too sweet, a good amount of carrots in the cake, a big portion sliced in half for sharing, and an affordable price. Brown stew chicken - 5/10. Ok flavor, but the chicken was kind of dry. I would have liked extra gravy but was unable to make that special request. Rice and peas - 10/10. Rice was good, nice hint of coconut milk, peas cooked perfectly. Veggies - 2/10. Bland AF. Everything except for the cabbage tastes like it came from a can. Plantain - 2/10. Bland, kinda dry. Would only order from here again for the carrot cake.

The juice has a good balance of the pineapple and ginger flavors.

I was getting together with some friends and we ordered from Negril. Luckily, a couple of my friends are Jamaican and they helped steer me to some new faves! Food I'd highly recommend: - Brown stew chicken meal with rice and peas, fried plantain, and stewed cabbage. This dish is rich and has the potential for leftovers if you're not starving. For the uninitiated, Jamaican rice and peas consist of red kidney beans and rice that's cooked in broth, coconut milk, and tons of aromatic spices. This isn't your white rice and green peas type of situation. I could have eaten this rice on its own, but add in the brown stew sauce and WOW. Also, I love the cabbage side because it adds a vinegary note that offsets the rich stew. Note: The chicken is cut up and includes bones. - Coco bread: This is a Jamaican style bun baked with coconut milk. It's especially good when paired with a patty in the middle (yes, the coco bread around the patty! Carb heaven!). - Festival: Jamaican festival is a sweet fried dough made with cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and milk aka a dumpling. Yes this is as good as it sounds- especially for soaking up brown stew gravy! I was BLOWN away to see an entire veggie section of the menu (for online ordering) featuring soya veggie chunks (a soy based option with the consistency of chicken). That's a HUGE deal for those of us with vegetarians in the family. Overall, delicious Jamaican food that I'll definitely order again!

However, once we got a person, the reservation process was easy and pleasant. We informed the person taking the reservation that this was our first time visiting the restaurant so we expected a nice table - I assume they want repeat business. But instead we were seated right in front of the live band and it was so loud, we couldn't talk at all. The funny thing was that the restaurant was barely half full! Our waiter also had a tough time hearing us so we had to corret our orders a couple of times. They ran out of beef patties:-( that day. We decide to order some appetizers and a couple of entrees and shared. We had the Buffalo Soldier Jerk Wings - Had a nice spice to it and was quite delicious. We also hd the Jerk Caulifolower bites - a little sweet and spicy sauce and we all agreed this was the best dish we had! We had the Curried Goat stew - a weak curry and did not really have any spice to it. The Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken had a sweet spice and sticky sauce - next best dish we had. We also ordered the Coco bread- which was disappointing andd I do not recommend. It was just bread with some butter in it and definitely overpriced for what you got! Cocktails were rather weak.
