    Stew Chicken Plate, with rice and peas and mix veggies
    Apex S.

    Um WOW. This was incredible. One of the best tasting meals I've had in a while. This option just came up on one of the delivery apps and I decided to try it out. Got the jerk Mac and cheese, chicken patty, side of plantains, stew chicken with rice and peas and veggies. The Mac and cheese blew our mind and also had steam coming out of our ears. That is spicyyyy. The chicken patty was stuffed with minced chicken, a little unexpected, but tasty nonetheless. Good ratio of outer covering to inner filling. The plantains were sweet and caramelized (and went so well with the Mac and cheese). The stew chicken plate including the rice and peas and the veggies were delicious too. Chicken was well cooked, the rice was flavorful and so were the mixed veggies (I mean how was it this tasty?! I could not figure out their secret!). As other yelpers have mentioned, a little more sauce with the chicken would be nice cuz the chicken was almost like grilled chicken vs a stew. The food arrived rather quickly after we placed our order. My only complaint would be that they served the food in styrofoam containers one of which opened in the plastic bag and spilled all over, which was unfortunate. Plastic containers with tight lids may be better for certain dishes.

    This was so good! Stayed with a friend in Boston and the first place she recommended was Murl's. No complaints. The plate was full, the pasta was flavorful, the delivery was smooth. I'll definitely be going back for more.

    The pasta came out quick despite them being very busy. The building itself is pretty small and not meant to be a sit down experience. The cashier was kind and patient. We came in just for the mac and cheese but I also got a side of jerk chicken which was amazing. I finished both things within like 15 minutes and felt healthily satiated. The macaroni was flavorful, creamy, and cheesy. The price is also amazing for the serving size that you recieve. 10/10 experience, will definitely be going back more often when I'm in Boston.

    Chicken Patty

    Food was SO GOOD! The store is pretty small and lots of customers, so pretty packed inside. No seating there, mostly takeout and delivery. We got the curry goat plate and it was so tender, fall off the bone. Chicken patty was also enjoyable and only $2.50! Mac and cheese insanely flavorful with hella spices in it.

    THIS IS A MUST TRY. One of my top 3 favorite comfort food spots. Murl's Kitchen is located in Dorchester,MA. A 20 mile drive from home that I never regret. My favorites are the jerk mac & cheese, regular mac & cheese, jerk chicken, plantains, beef patties, stewed chicken, rice & even their mixed veggies are a big hit. They just recently started selling flavored chicken wings & tenders!! I'll try next time & post an update :) There's no parking lot available just limited off street parking. There's also no seating available inside, but that's okay with me. Place can get packed (& that's how you know it's delicious)! Staff is super friendly too. Just trust me.

    Brown stew chicken + rice and plantains

    Solid Jamaican spot! We tried the brown stew chicken, oxtails, and jerk mac n cheese. Both the chicken and the oxtail were super tender and flavorful. The rice and beans were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor too. My one complaint is that I wish the brown stew chicken had more sauce for the rice to soak up. The jerk mac n cheese was creamy and had good spices, it reminded me of Cajun pasta. This place is takeout only and I would highly recommend ordering ahead of time and picking it up. It was very busy when we went and the wait seemed long.

    This is a no sit down place with a line- which I took as a good sign. The line moved quickly and we didn't wait long, even on a Friday night! Important note- they were out of jerk Mac and cheese at 7pm on a Friday! The cashier told me that was very normal. I loved my jerk chicken + rice and plantains so much that I went back a second time on a week night just for the jerk Mac and cheese and let me tell you IT WAS WORTH IT. Take my advice - try this place ASAP.

    As you can see, I'm a frequent flyer! The sauce the comes with the chicken wings is great, reminds me of sweet heat.

    One of the great take-out spots between Grove Hall and 4 Corners. Huge servings, and the Jerk Mac & Cheese is a requirement.

Some highlights: Garlic shrimp - these were huge and juicy with the perfect amount of garlic flavor. Having this on the rice and beans was heaven on a place and I had several helpings of this! Chicken - this was a little spicy for me, but that's just a personal preference. I could tell that this was well seasoned and people more tolerant to spice would love this - the chicken was still juicy and saucy. This also pairs well with the rice and beans! Plantains - nothing over the top but a nice sweeter bite to balance out the plate. Yummy! Mac n cheese - this was one I wasn't super crazy about - I think a bit more cheese would have been nice here but it wasn't a bad bite. All in all, 4/5 as there were some dishes that didn't blow me away, but the garlic shrimp with the rice and beans is to die for. Would happily have this again or go to the food truck location to order it!

Service was quick, seeing as you order from the counter. We ordered the jerk chicken plate with plantains and mac & cheese, and the oxtail plate with curry vegetable stew and rice & beans! The jerk chicken was tender and cooked nicely but wasn't the jerk flavor I was used to. It was a wet sauce instead of a dry rub and kinda tasted like teriyaki...? The plantains were normal, nothing crazy. Mac and cheese was lowkey yum, not too thick. Oxtail was better than the jerk chicken flavor-wise but the meat wasn't cooked as well. The meat didn't fall off the bone like other oxtail does :( The sauce was also a bit thin so it didn't coat the meat as well. The rice & beans were solid, had flavor to it and was even better with the sauce from oxtail. The veggie stew was good too but again, nothing crazy. Overall, I was very satisfied with my meal but unsure if I would go again. There are so many other places in/near JP that I would try first. Still, if you're looking for fast casual Jamaican food, check this place out!!

I appreciated how much this place leans into both cultures from decor showcases both cultures to their balanced menu featuring dishes from both. There is ample seating at this place and dont let the construction outside deter you because they are open. We ordered the cheese manakish to start, and this might have been my favorite dish. Balanced with two types of cheese with a light airy texture to it kept it from feeling too dense. The pita its on is crunchy and thin, and theres a drizzle of sauce, likely some form of pesto, that cuts the flavor making it a truly enjoyable dish. We also ordered the chicken kebabs and roasted jerk chicken. The kebabs were a great portion with tender chicken, some greens, and grains. I personally could have used more tzakai, but thats a personal preference. Overall though, the meal did not feel heavy and I left feeling full but not overtly stuffed which I was happy with. My husband's jerk chicken was a sizable dish. The chicken was tender and fell right off the bone, and the pilaf had a nice flavor to it. Overall we really enjoyed our meals. The service can take some time, but its a super small staff so just be patient.

There were lamb, chicken, and kibbeh kabobs, tzatziki with cucumbers, salad, and mushroom rice. The mushroom rice had a great flavor and a crispness that was like that delicious part of the rice that sticks to the bottom of the pan. There was a trio of hummus- lentil, beet, and standard, with fresh pita to scoop it up. Great- my favorites were actually the lentil and the beet. The plantain appetizer had a beautiful presentation, on the charred plantain skin. The plantains had crisp kind of caramelized edges. The pikliz on top was tasty and had a kick. My partner and dad liked the griot- a crunchy pork that reminded them of chicharron. The entrees were not my favorite, but the rest of the party enjoyed them. I think the move is to get the mezze platters and appetizers. Almost forgot! The basque cheesecake is quite unique- with a passion fruit sauce to die for.
