I'll start by qualifying myself and how I know good Jamaican food. I grew up in Brooklyn, NY and lived in the predominantly West Indian area of Brooklyn. I've been to a many of Jamaican restaurants and had the Jerk Chicken out of the drum in Jamaica and in Brooklyn. This a Jerk Drum fashioned after an oil barrel traditionally. I can also cook Jerk Chicken myself. I'm also very familiar with how other Jamaican food dishes should taste and be cooked.
Moving on, I found this place a few months a go, but I had a craving for Jerk Chicken and didn't want to go to my go to spot Roland's Jamaican Chicken in Irving. I'm inferring that Jamaican Me Hungry cooks out of their home and offer delivery or pick up. There's no storefront pics. There's a phone number to call to place your orders.
I called and I was able to place an order a day in advance. When the day came and it was lunchtime, I didn't get a set time if when my food would be delivered. There's definitely some suspense to planning lunch when you don't exactly when it'll arrive. My food was finally delivered. The lady did call me about 15 minutes before delivery.
I ordered the oxtails entre and the Jerk Chicken entre. The oxtails came with steamed cabbage,fried plantains and rice and red beans mixed together. The oxtails were good, it had a good flavor to the. And they were huge. I would get them again. However the rice in both entrees was dry like in a stale way. The jerk chicken entree, I received only had cabbage but no fried plantains which it was supposed to come with. I was disappointed. However this is delivered food in can't take it back. For the price I was bothered that I didn't get this side. The jerk chicken was good, not spicy, but the jerk flavor was good. I would give them another try and hope my rice isn't dry and that I DO get my fried plantains this time. I would say hi e then a try, because the convenience is pretty nice with a nominal delivery fee. read more
