So after a few days in Savannah, we wanted to grab some island food. After some research, I decided on this spot. It was a simple environment and a walk up counter to order. Our order was quickly taken and we grabbed a seat. The food was brought out quickly. My stepmom has the oxtail and I got the oxtail/curry goat combo. The food was a taste of home and we definitely enjoyed it. I felt like the oxtail could have used a bit more seasoning, but my stepmom said it was just right. To each their own. Stop in and give these guys a try. read more

The jerk chicken was soooo good! The people there were very friendly and helpful with my questions. I really enjoyed my meal.

The jerk chicken was very very good, the rice was a little bland. I was given my food in a good amount of time. I'd recommend taking food to go as the inside isn't anything too special. I would try this place again when I'm in town. read more

Jamaica Taste - Jerk chicken, curry chicken with rice and peas - Caribbean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

We visited Jamaica Taste on a business trip to Savannah Ga. We wanted an authentic taste from Jamaica. A taste that is not readily found. We ordered brown stew snapper with rice and peas, and curry goat, and jerk chicken with rice and peas. The fish was done to order not cooked before hand. The owner/chef Andre did an excellent job. The fish was perfect. The taste, and presentation was splendid. The settings gave us an island vibes with reggae music jamming in the background. We were in Jamaica in Savannah. I recommend this place to all. Believe me you won't be disappointed. Thanks to Andre, his wife, and the host. See you guys soon. read more

I was visiting Savannah for a work trip and wanted to try Jamaican cuisine near the area. I chose Jamaica Taste since it had dine-in seating, and it already received some positive reviews online. We were greeted when we walked in, and the man who serviced us was very nice. I ordered the curry goat (which I was told all of their meat is shipped directly from Jamaica) along with all the sides and it was delicious! Even the extra sauce on the rice was a nice touch. The Rasta pasta was just ok because the jerk chicken breast needed more sauce. I also tried the mac & cheese, beef patty, and tropical juices which were all 5/5. The restaurant itself does need some upgrades, like maybe air conditioning or repair the ceilings, but the overall experience was great. read more

The food here at JamaicaTaste is the most authentic I have ever had since living in Savannah. The jerk chicken had that smoke flavor because the owner did it over the charcoal grill. The service was unlike any I have experienced in a Jamaican restaurant; very friendly. You can dine in or take out. Lots of parking space Great ambiance read more

I'm not much of a pasta eater. However, I have to admit that the Rasta Pasta is good. I would recommend it.

Loved! I got the ox tail with rice & peas and cabbage and it was delicious! The meat was very tender and the rice was covered in sauce, just how I like it. read more

Jamaica Taste - Jerk Chicken, Rice and peas, Cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

The Jerk chicken meal is very good here, definitely the best jerk chicken that I have ever eaten. The Mac & cheese, cornbread, and collard greens are fairly decent. The worker at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. The inside of the building definitely needs some renovations though, it did feel a bit ran down, but you tend to get that with small local businesses from time to time. The location fits the "hole in the wall" title because it was not that easy finding it. read more

Jamaica Taste - Lunch Jerk Chicken - Caribbean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

I got jerk chicken and beef stew from this spot, with Mac and cheese and rice and peas. The wait was pretty short maybe 6-7 minutes and the worker was very kind and friendly. It's small, not dirty, not clean, outside is nothing noteworthy, BUT food is very filling and tasty. Price is average. Beef stew was incredible, the meat is so tender and the sauce is perfect, though there are some pieces that are just fat. Rice and peas was awesome, the chicken was the best, not dry, not soggy, not too spicy, not too sweet, perfectly flavored. It was a good portion too for everything. I payed $24 for my meal after a $4 tip but for what I got most people could have easily made 2 meals out of it. Overall my only complaints were that the mac and cheese was room temperature and the beef stew had some chunks that were all fat as mentioned. Definitely will satisfy you. read more

You'll need to go to Jamaica to eat this traditional style cooking. We had the jerk chicken, plantain and bean rice. Perfection! You can call ahead and order what you want ahead of time. It is absolutely the best Jamaican food I've ever had in the United States. Highly recommend Tom read more

SUPERB MEAL. So fresh and hot. I will always stop here when traveling to Savannah. Great customer service and the wait was brief. Thank you Jamaican Soul read more

Jamaica Taste - Oxtails with Cabbage and Rice Dinner - Caribbean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Jamaican Soul is located in a strip mall at the end of 52nd Street and the beginning of Mills B Lane Boulevard. The exterior is not very pleasing to the eyes, but it was highly recommended by several individuals when I inquired about a great spot for Jamaican Food. Daily and lunch specials are handwritten on a piece of cardboard taped to a window. An additional sign states that the establishment is "take out only". When entering the restaurant, it is a surprisingly large area with two booths present on the left side of the building. The kitchen (which is not visible) is located on the right side of the building. Ordering takes place at the back of the establishment. There were numerous Jamaican staples available such as curry and jerk chicken, oxtails black beans and rice etc... I ordered a "large" combo that came with your choice of meat, rice, and two additional side items. Total time from ordering to completion was approximately 15 minutes. Food was hot, nicely seasoned and delicious. I will be back soon. read more

Sorry can't post any pics....cuz I inhaled all the food I ordered from here!! OMG! What a nice unexpected surprise to have stumbled upon this place. I had the jerk wings combo with cabbage and collards for my sides. So tasty...I was literally licking my fingers. Lol read more

I ordered the Rasta pasta at my job when he came in his food truck and I told him that his pasta was bland and he told me he doesn't do bland so I let other people try it and they also said it was bland then when I proceeded to approach him about it he tells me we don't do bland. I've never gotten a bad review about my pasta. What do you want me to do about it with an attitude? I do not recommend coming here. He has an attitude. If you do not like the food he has poor customer service zero out of 10. Never try again. read more

I got the Rasta pasta with shrimp it was delicious!

First timer trying their "Jamaican food"....number 1 I'm from New York home of everything ethnic, but that is not why I'm subjected to write this. The rice and peas were mushy the Mac n cheese again mushy, the cabbage was decent but my favorite part of the meal "THE OXTAILS" .....NOT FLAVORFUL, it's like they didn't brown it and instead of having that dark brown consistency, this was like a light brown fatty sauce. So unappealing to even look at. I gave 2 stars ONE for the jerk chicken spiced up well, tender and tasty. Two, the cornbread was ok. SAVE YOUR PALLET AND DOLLAZ from this place. RUN FORREST ‍‍‍‍‍ read more

The food and service was great! I had the jerk chicken my husband had the oxtail, We enjoyed our meal. Go try it!!

I am a Savannah native and true foodie with great overall taste, especially when it comes to FOOD so I can assure you this is THE SPOT!!! I've recently relocated to north Philly P.A within the past couple of weeks and im truly going to miss this place! By far 1 of my favorite takeout spots....Mannn lemme tell you, soon as you walk in your nose is being romanced by aromas & smells coming from the kitchen. As you get lifted off your feet drifting to the register as if you're in a cartoon being hypnotized by food, you're then greeted from a sweet woman as if you were her family member, the owner himself if he has any free time from slaving in the kitchen or my good friend John who I jokingly calls him brotha John lol! P.S I advise you call in your orders in advance because they're preparing your food to perfection! I'm honestly not being bias when i say you cant go wrong with anything on the menu but it's true and most importantly the prices matches the portion of servings. I loved getting their turkey wings with rice and peas, collards and mac, or their curry goat rice and peas with double cabbage. I promise and stand behind this restaurant to the fullest and my support. Ive turned countless friends and family on to this restaurant and I hope ive done the same for you. RIP to the owners wife, she was truly a Angel when I met her and that alone besides the food being great is why I go so hard for this place!!! read more

I was looking for a Caribbean spot for AUTHENTIC and yummy food (the other spot I used to frequent wasn't doing It for me) and I came across Jamaican soul. There is seating, though I take mine to go and you can call ahead and place your order. I have ordered the oxtails, curry chicken and jerk chicken on separate occasions and every entree was delicious. I love that I found this place; being from a caribbean family, it's hard to find restaurants that cook our food the right way. As a plus, they also have beef and chicken patties and you have the option to have a pattie with cheese and coco bread (the ONLY way I eat my patties). This place is a gem. read more

they stay busy.. They are always friendly. Prices have increased and so has everything else in the world so I can't be upset. They have to make a profit too. I ordered the Stew beef, Mac and cheese , cabbage, and coco bread (just to try) The stew beef was tender, mac and cheese never disappoints , and the corn bread always sweet, cabbage has a sweet taste and it has a crunch to it.. the coco bread just reminds me of a dinner roll not what I was expecting. read more

Recently moved here and I love this place! Excellentl customer service. I tried the oxtails and they were very good and an excellent portion, I felt like I was in Jamaica. I'm from Miami and I love that It gave me that authentic Jamaican feel! Will definitely be coming back! read more

Jamaica Taste - Caribbean Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

This is a really small take out place that I started to notice when everyday driving to work. Jamaican Soul doesn't have a big menu, but food is pretty standard. The menu combines Jamaican main dishes mixed with southern side orders, such as collard green, tomato okra or cabbage. So far, I've tried jerk chicken and beef short ribs. Both are tasty. For the rice choices, there are white rice and rice with peas and red beans. I usually have rice with red beans and peas because that is something I don't know how to cook. Lunch special usually a good size to fill up my stomach for the rest of the day(yes, I mean, breakfast +lunch +dinner), but please be aware lunch only serves until 2pm with a free can soda. And I always get Fanta, they do have variety of Fanta selections. You can call ahead for the order if you are in rush. They will make sure to get your order ready with a neat notes on the top of your lunch plates. read more

I visited this establishment yesterday and ordered the jerk wings meal. When I got home and began to eat, the wings were overcooked and hard. The cabbage and the mac-n-cheese was fine, so I at the cabbage. Since I was going to be in that area again today, I decided to being them back when I came. I called today to let them know I was coming back with overcooked wings to have them re-made, the gentleman on the phone told me they don't do overcooked or hard wings. When I arrived, I showed him the wings and he again began telling me they don't overcooked wings. I told him they did yesterday. Then he started talking about how that was a whole day ago and I didn't call yesterday. He went on to say how does he even know I got them from there. I told him to look at the plate, the bag, the layout of the food based on how they plate food and you can see it came from there. I never asked for a refund or a full plate, but only for the wings to be re-made. Instead he continued to tell me that was a day ago and he don't know if it came from them. So I said don't worry about it, I took a picture of the QR code to leave a review and I walked out. A few minutes later, he calls me and instead of apologizing for my experience, he asked me where was the rest of the food. I told him I at the cabbage, they weren't overcooked, the wings were. Mind you, a few minutes prior he was said he didn't know if the plate came from there. He then proceeds to tell me he's going to take a picture of the plate I left behind and post it as a reply to my bad review. Well you go right ahead because that has absolutely nothing to do with overcooked food!! All of the excuses given and reasons why you didn't want to remake them was piss poor customer service. I only asked for what was bad.....not a refund, not a whole new plate, just what was bad and I returned them, for you to see what I was talking about. read more

Food is ok but they are so slowwww. Even if you call ahead your food will not be ready when you arrive. I placed my order and paid online an HOUR ago. Arrived to pick it up and it's still not ready. I would not recommend eating here unless you have over an hour to waste......update: still waiting 30 AFTER they said it would be done read more

Hands down the best Jamaican food in the area! I've been here two times and will be back plenty more. The jerk chicken here is to die for! It's just like back home. So delicious, full of flavor, and so tender! The rice and peas compliment it, as well as the mac and cheese. My only gripe about Jamaican Soul, is that they don't offer many vegetable options. They offer collard greens, which I'm not a fan of, but I wish they had cabbage, a side salad, or callaloo in place of the collard greens. Other than that, I have no complaints. Please, if you are in the mood for some amazing jerk chicken, don't hesitate to stop by Jamaican Soul. read more

Please let me start by saying the lady at the counter was was nice! I ordered based on the young lady's suggestions and the best sellers. We ordered brown stew chicken, ox tail large , curry goat large and One pound cake. It was $44.00 and some change. The food was ready fast but while waiting I noticed the health scores!!! 72 C THEY HAVE A C!!!!! Long story short Everything was weird tasting and ended up in the trash!! It definitely seems as if the food has been sitting in the danger zone far to long!!Within 20 mins the car smelled trash, exactly were all $45.00 went Trash!! So sorry no pics. read more

Here's the thing the food was BANGIN! I was bashing hard on it and even compared it as better than some of the other jamaican places. I ordered it for delivery off of Postmates and as I was continuing to enjoy the food, but then I kept finding strings of black hair both the meat and sides. I apologize for no pics because I soon as I discovered this I threw it away. I was so mad and disappointed, I wasted both $40 and VERY tasty food all because they're not sanitary. read more

Hands down my favorite spot to eat, I've been going here for about 4 years! The turkey wings, curry goat, curry shrimp, cabbage and carrots, rice and peas, and Mac and cheese are mouthwatering! I have not met one menu item I didn't like , family oriented environment with friendly faces to greet and provide quick service. Can't beat the affordable prices either! read more

Delicious Jamaican food. Nothing fancy as far as ambiance but hey I am looking for good food along with excellent customer service. It's clean and that's what matters. Please try their fruit punch made from real fruit NOT Kool aid. Refreshing tasty and only 2.25. I ordered brown stewed chicken, meat fell of the bone. Greens fresh and lightly seasoned. I like it that way. It came with peas and rice and I ordered macaroni and cheese. Simply scrumptious.You get a cornbread muffin also. It only set me back about 13.00 dollars and I had enough left over for my lunch the next day. read more
