What an awful experience I had this morning at Sweet Delight Jamaican cuisine. There is a female…read moreserver who is not the owner Sydonnie. Not sure of her name, but she carries on of the worst attitude you can find in customer service. It's so bad that if I go there, I would wait for the two owners to sever me. And if they're not there I just leave, for I don't want to be bothered with no name female that works there. I went there this morning to get some breakfast and was told by the rude server, that I couldn't buy just the salt mackerel or kidney only. So I decided to look at the menu to see what I wanted. I happened to asked this here rude server a simple question as to when did they started doing that, because I've always just bought the mackerel or kidney only. Well this person decided to ignore me and skip me and took someone who walked in. I eventually asked, if she was ignoring me? She had the nerve to said yes, she was watching the TV. I asked if that's what she came to work to do? Her answer was yes. Well I took the higher road and step out of the store, because I know who I am. This female always has a stink face on her shoulder and it's the worst thing to see when entering a business that you're about to spend your money in. I know I'm not the only one that see this and feel this way. I've literally heard other customers speak about this one female server. But as they say, misery loves company!

We always stop here whenever we pass through Hartford on the way to/from Beantown...awesome food at…read morevery reasonable prices (although they've seen a bit of pandemic inflation just like everybody else), and lots of it! My favorites are the jerk pork, oxtail, and goat curry, always with the gravy on top, served with rice and beans. Meat is fall off the bone tender and delicious. You get a bit of what looks like cabbage slaw and some sweet plantains on top of the rice. I always order the Large and eat half there, and half at home later in the day or the next day. Delicious food, seasoned just right---not too hot where you can't taste the food, and not too timid where you feel like you're at some Whole Foods food bar being held hostage to hopelessly bland WASPy palates. No, this is the real deal, folks: the animal fat is left gloriously untrimmed, and if you're lucky you might even find the occasional bits of gristle. If that's too much for you to handle, just go down the street and get yourself some McNuggets or Dunkin sugar-bread, et al. The place ain't much in terms of ambiance, you sure as hell wouldn't take a date here unless you actively DON'T want to get laid, heh. But clean enough, and the bathroom is functional, you just wouldn't want to linger too long in there of course. Service is fine, just don't expect the usual fake cheer you'd get from an Appleby's or somesuch. Bring cash, because they don't take credit cards...about the only significant drawback, but they do have a mini-ATM right there if you're hard up. Wish we had places like this in Boston, good simple authentic Jamaican food isn't so easy to come by there for some reason. PS. From reading other reviews, and then doing a little googling to confirm, yes this place has indeed gotten busted by health inspectors twice, but passed the third time. Shrugs...any time you eat out, you are taking a calculated risk---who knows what goes on behind those kitchen doors? It's just a matter of who gets caught vs. who doesn't, like most things.

First off, let's talk about the value…read more For $22, I was genuinely shocked by the portion size. I received over 8 decent-sized , meaty pieces! Considering how expensive oxtails typically are, this is an incredible deal that sets them apart from Jamaican restaurants on Albany Ave in Hartford(Some of the best spots). And the flavor?! Always on point! Look no further!

I went with the curry chicken patty ($3.50) as the jerk was not available at the time I was there. The patty was very good as it had the perfect crisp factor present. I would have liked there to be more filling as the ratio to the actual patty was not the best. It helped that the filling was flavorful though. There was a hint of heat in the filling too that I was expecting. Will I go back? Most likely.

If you're the type of person that orders fajitas so everyone is jealous of your food as it comes to the table, this is the thing for you. I've tried the jerk salmon, chili salmon, and the pineapple jerk bowl with pork and chicken and everything has been delicious. The jerk is the perfect amount of spice to get your nose running and it's balanced out perfectly with the sweetness of the pineapple. The service is always friendly and proteins are made fresh. However, the last time I visited my salmon was a little overdone and the sauce was a little in excess where my steamed vegetables became soggy. Additionally, the steamed veggies could have had a little salt, but maybe I'm just not a steamed veggie lover. That being said, I will continue to return and grab a quick bite here, as it's one of my favorite booths at the market.

Nice little location, plenty of tables to eat at in the dining section if you're inclined to eat there. Interesting murals on the walls and some pictures of prominent Jamaican people in history. They don't have a menu on the wall per se, but a paper menu on top of the counter you can look at that looks like it changes daily as well as a menu online. A nice young man rang up my order, which was quickly filled by a pleasant lady that I chatted with while she fulfilled my order. I gotta tell you my car was smelling good on the way home! Everything was wonderful, the oxtails were very flavorful, somewhat labor intensive to eat but hey.....that's oxtails! The jerk chicken had excellent flavor and with a decent spice level kick. The rice and peas were awesome as well as the steamed cabbage. We also picked up a jerk chicken sandwich on coco bread with fries (which was only $8.95!!!) that was very tasty and a couple of mild beef patties for good measure. We enjoyed every single item we brought home from 1Love. Definitely will be making a trip back again soon. Stop by and check them out, you won't be sorry you did!

I've had Oxtails at half a dozen Jamaican places, the Oxtail here is the most flavorful I've had, amazingly delicious! The portions are perfect. Other Jamaican restaurants are typically take-out places, fast casual instead if sit-down dinning, they do tend to give more meat but they weren't as tasty as this. I also loved the fact that I got both rice & plantains! The young waitress was the daughter of the owner & she was super friendly, chatty & genuinely a nice person.
