This family-owned business is so friendly and has AMAZING Jamaican food. All entrees come with rice/beans and a slaw salad. Ox tail stew - 100/5, fall off the bone GOODNESS. The stew is so rich and flavorful! The carrots, peppers, and beans are fork tender too and go well with the beef. Jerk chicken - 5/5, chicken is incredibly tender. The dry rub has a nice kick to it and their jerk sauce is perfectly tangy and spicy! Beef patties - 10/5, spices are FIRE. No notes. Make sure you get one, or four! Fried plantains - 5/5, fried to perfection. I love the crispy caramelization on the exterior and natural sweetness of the plantain read more

There's not many Jamaican options in the twin cities but this for sure is the best Jamaican restaurant in the state. The place was very clean and the customer service was amazing. The young man was very jelly and polite. I went with the jerk chicken dinner and some beef patties. The sauce is a bbq jerk sauce which to me was heaven lol I wish I tried the sauce before leaving and now see why they sell whole bottles to go. I will definitely will be back and look forward to trying everything else on the menu. I highly recommend this place for amazing food and service read more

Nadia’s Jamaican Kitchen - Jerk Chicken dinner with extra sauce and beef patty - Caribbean Near Me - Brooklyn Park, Minnesota

Food is not that good if you're used to West Indian food for a Minnesotan it's top tier I told the server my chicken looked dry and when I got home and cut into it very dry inside I didn't enjoy it at all I prefer Nanny's on Rice street in St. Paul read more

Food unbelievably fabulous. Oxtails to dream of! Lovely lady helped me with order. Best since Jamacia. read more

Winner, winner! Jerk chicken, rice and beans, and slaw spot on! SPOT ON!! Beef patty was great, flaky and meaty. Brown stew chicken had a lot of fall spices and was right on the edge of too much for me and still I ate it! She also makes her own jerk sauce which is jerk, bbq flavor. Yum. Nadia was super kind and fun. Her son evem came in and brought flowers for mothers Day and gave me one. read more

Service is HORRIBLE. If your non minority she will greet you and give you samples but if your minority she will be very cold!!!

I stopped in recently and I highly recommend this restaurant! It's definitely a better pick up food and take it home than a sit down place but you definitely can sit down if you like. I ordered the brown chicken with beans and rice and it was a 9 out of 10! This is a really good rating especially if you grabbed take out. The staff was awesome, the place clean and neat and I will be adding it to my regular rotation. One final word, the portions are huge so the value is great! My husband and I shared a meal. Delicious read more

Heard about Nadia's Jamaican Kitchen form an acquaintance. It's reputation definitely proceeds them! It did not disappoint. Took my mentee for dinner, it was bomb. Ambiance 5/5 Located on the corner of a shopping area. It's replaced the $5 pizza spot. General seating is good. 2 booths and side tables that seat 2, very clean, faux trees, tantalizing smells and great atmosphere. Caribbean music, Bob Marley of course. Open kitchen family feel with bar to seating to watch your food being prepared. Service 5/5 Very friendly, prompt, courteous and helpful service. Nadia herself inquired about the food and did it meet our expectations. It did!!! Food 5/5 Not cheap but worth it. We ordered Oxtails, red peas and rice, coleslaw $28 Jamaican Patty $5 Jerk Chicken $14 Rice and peas $5 drinks: $15 Overall 5/5 and would come back! read more

Amazing food! So much flavor and the service was great! I highly recommend this place. We plan to go back.

Service - excellent! So much so that we expected the food to be nasty. (IYKYK) The owner and the young men working with her (I do believe they were her grandsons) were all very pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. Rice and peas with mixed veggies entree- I always taste the rice alone first to judge the overall cooking skills. The rice made with coconut milk, definitely passed the test! It was so much food that I had enough for 2 or 3 days. And let me tell you, it tasted even better as leftovers, after the sauces and seasonings settled and soaked in. Yum! I added some jerk sauce and their Indian hot pepper sauce (Good, but whew!! Not for the weak!! lol) On Tuesdays they have specials. We tried the chips and guacamole. I wasn't expecting the chips to be homemade. They were positively delicious! Festival was good too, and the owners says they're vegan-friendly. Rasta pasta is also vegan, but it's only available on Friday and Saturday. I definitely want to try that the next time I'm in town. read more

Being from the Caribbean, I can proudly say that Nadia's is worth every penny! This food reminds me so much of home just due to all the love that goes into it. Everything is seasoned to the bone and I can't get enough of it. The portions are huge, enough to share between two people and I love the open kitchen concept. Being able to see your food being made is such an added benefit that makes you feel apart of the cooking experience. I love how the owner and head chef will stop by each table and chat with her customers. They have seasonal soups and those are so well made that I usually order seconds to go. The jerk chicken wings are so yummy that I can't make an order without them. Curry chicken is prepared with chicken with chicken thighs and I think it brings out the curry flavor tremendously. The curry goat is also to die for because the meat is so soft and goes well with the curry seasoning. The brown stew chicken is also good and I urge everyone to try it :) read more

Great food and great service. Went there for the oxtails with the rice and had some festival along with it. Nadia is a queen and cooks amazing. Definitely would recommend to anyone. read more

Lovely Jamaican food for Minnesotan taste. Stopped by here with my friend to check out some Caribbean flair to brighten up our outlook for Spring. While there are tables and they do have plates and silverware, it seems more of a takeaway operation. Overall the food is delightful, but subdued in spice/ heat than was expecting. The lady running the joint was friendly and nice, seems like she's teaching her kids some good work ethic with running a business. Jerk Chicken: the sweetness really pops out. There's a background flavor that I always forget the name that's pretty strong and captured my attention. The meat is tender and succulent. Curried goat: also meaty and tender. Bone in to capture that flavor. The spices cover up the gamey taste. Sauce was lovely, definitely my favorite of the 2. Rice and Peas was a bit... dry in places. Flavor was good, but definitely needed to drown it in the gravy to maintain overall consistency. Side of cooked cabbage and veggies is a given and always a welcome source of crunch and fiber to accompany the meal. Overall : good portions, lovely flavors, and a friendly smile to enjoy your meal. read more

I've tried to patronize this restaurant everytime I was disappointed.....they smothered the vegetables & rice to make it seem like you're getting alot of food for your money when it fact the main entree like oxtails is a very small portion with lack of meat....prices are exorbitant $37,00 for an oxtails meal & got mad bc I complained....very rude she was....ill never go back & don't suggest u do...really pissed me off read more

such great service and food from Nadia's! Ordered the red snapper (available on Saturdays), the oxtail and a side of plantains and all were so incredibly good! The snapper was made right after ordering and it was worth the extra few minutes wait! Very well seasoned and cooked to be nice and flaky. We also got to sample the goat curry and we will be back to get a whole plate of that too! Ambiance had some lovely soft touches, I really like the cloth napkins and the hand towels in the bathroom. Can't beat the service! We had multiple folks checking in on us and making sure we had all we need and were enjoying our food. read more

I have been here twice now with a two week period. We heard about it thru word of mouth and it did not disappoint. I brought my friend who is born and raised Jamaican and she thinks everything we have had has been authentic and delicious!! She was impressed by the Oxtail, crazy moist and delicious. As was the Jerk Chicken... SO GOOD. And the Red Snapper was excellent! As for the sides: Beef Pattie's, Coleslaw, Rice & Beans, plantains and Festival.... Wow! All fresh, flavorful and so yummy. The owner and all staff are great and friendly. They remembered us on our second visit. They ask how you like everything because they really care. We will be back to try Taco Tuesday!!! read more

My husband brought home Oxtail meals for us. Cold slaw, rice and beans are included with the meal. He ordered us sides of plantains. The plantains were ripe and prepared perfectly. The cold slaw was overly sweet. The first few bites of the oxtail were a bit salty, but decent. It seems they used white potatoes to thicken their gravy. The flavor of the potatoes is overwhelming. However, if you wait to eat it the next day, the flavor is more palatable. read more

I went looking for beef patties. I found them, however, the staff was not very nice at all. As much as I enjoy beef patties I WILL NOT get them from there again. read more

Located in Brooklyn Park, Nadia's offers a taste of Jamaica in the Midwest! The restaurant is spacious and one immediately feels welcome upon entering. Nadia's enthusiasm for food and culture is infectious. Portion sizes are extremely generous! The jerk chicken is tender and served with a side of vegetables and red beans and rice. The oxtail is very flavorful and tender and mixed with butter beans. The menu is vegetarian and vegan friendly. Be sure to try the Rasta Pasta! Served with a side of red beans and rice, and mixed veggies, this dish is exceptional! Soft, flavorful noodles are cooked in a sweet, robust coconut milk sauce and seasoned to perfection. This dish is simply exceptional. The restaurant also offers Jamaican sodas and sauces for purchase, so you can take the taste of the islands home with you. Service is outstanding--efficient and courteous. This operation is family owned and the passion and positivity they exude is infectious. I can't wait to visit again! read more

I went here for the first time tonight and was extremely happy wiling this place. We had the jerk chicken plate, tacos, fried plantains and the chips. Everything was home made and delicious. The jerk chicken plate was a ridiculously huge portion filled with half a chicken, Cole slaw and red beans and rice. The jerk chicken tacos had 3 to a serving. The woman at the counter (Nadia?) was so friendly and the food came out fast. I will definitely be back!! read more

Nadia's is not only great, home cooked food but also Nadia is amazing. Love the ambiance and very timely. I can't wait to come back!

Don't even think twice, this place is the real deal! Excellent, authentic food that felt healthy and not over spiced. Nice cafe atmosphere and wonderful hospitality. It was fun to be able to watch the food prepared in the open plan space and Nadia herself made point to check on us. She was as sweet and gracious as can be. We will be back! read more

Actually, I'm not from Rhode Island. Fortunately for me, Nadia's is a stone's throw from our home in Brooklyn Park. In addition to the food being @the top of our places, Nadia's Jamaican Kitchen is unique in the Twin Cities; it's the closest thing in town to we've found to Cheer's. Nadia and Tyler know our names! read more

Quality and plenty on your plate! Customer service is next level! I highly recommend Nadia's for a tasty authentic Jamaican meal!

I enjoyed my dining experience at Nadia's Jamaican Kitchen. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful in navigating menu options and daily specials. I had the Oxtail and plantains. My spouse had the Saturday Red Snapper special. Both were absolutely mouthwateringly delicious and will have me coming back for more in the future. Both portions sizes were enough to leave you with leftovers to take home. The restaurant was very clean and had lots of open space. I appreciated the cloth napkins at the tables. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The bathroom utilized cloth hand towels, as well. Honestly the experience as a whole was fantastic and I can't wait to return. read more
