Reggae Kitchen - Oxtail with rice and peans. With extra cabbage. - Caribbean Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

Wanted a Caribbean vibe ! Decided to check out. The atmosphere gives party vibes. The service was good and the food was decent. Our order consisted of Curry Goat w White Rice and Rum Cake. Due to the time we went they ran out of Rice and Peas. I would definitely order something different but will try again. The slice of rum cake was a good size i didn't try it but I heard it was good. The restroom was clean!! read more

I ordered takeout - the man at the counter was so sweet. The goat curry is absolutely delicious, a little spicy, and comes with flavorful rice and beans as well as cabbage. A very satisfying meal. They honored my request for no plastic utensils, and they let me fill up my water bottle at the sink while I was there. I'm eager to return and try dishes, including the oxtail! read more

**warning- it is a novel. Lol - My family was driving thru KC and decided to stop by for a meal as we love Jamaican cuisine. We arrived on a Sunday evening around 4pm and there were only 4 other people inside the restaurant to which no one was eating any food of being served. Place is small with a bar area and a few tables. There were speakers lined up by the front that were blasting very loud music in a very small space. There seemed to be one staff (owner? Manager?) up front by the register. He did not greet us or barely looked at us until we got up to the register to look at the menu. He then pointed to a little white board saying something I couldn't comprehend because the music was so loud I could barely think. I had to ask him again to which he said that's the menu for the day, which was only 3 things : chicken stew, goat curry, & cow foot. My husband and I started a conversation to see what he wanted. The staff then said good bye, waved, and smiled to some patrons that were leaving and then he left thru a back door to what I assumed was the kitchen. We ended up leaving so not sure if he ever returned. Ultimately, We didn't feel welcomed and were disappointed that out of their whole entire menu, they were only offering 3 things especially on a Sunday. I recognize that there are quite a few restaurants that closes on Sundays in KC and I'm not sure of their restaurant culture on Sundays -maybe they have less traffic = don't want to waste time cooking up their whole menu? Regardless, we would have loved to try all three items but it just left a bad taste in my mouth to support an establishment that didn't want to serve me or even greet me. Not sure what his assumptions were, if he thought we wouldn't purchased anything but I would of purchased no less than $100 worth of food from his 3 item menu and no less than $150 from his regular menu just bc I am a foodie and love to try out a large selection of food when I go to a new city. I would have understood the culture differences of no greeting if he didn't greet and was acting super nice to the other patrons. read more

Food so damn good. Curry chicken was top notch and it's real chicken, real and authentic food. make sure to get a bottle of that Sorrel Ginger juice. read more

Not open. Called and no answer. Drove to the pace and it wasn't open anymore. If you are looking for good Jamaican food search elsewhere

The food was excellent. The service was good enough. I would certainly return for another visit when in the area again.

Seen you guys on my DoorDash and decided to give it a try. I was not disappointed, everything was tasty. I plan on making a trip to the restaurant in the near future. I had the curry chicken, cabbage and rice & peas and it was read more

Reggae Kitchen - Curry chicken, rice & peas and cabbage - Caribbean Near Me - Kansas City, Missouri

The best Jamaican food in Kansas City I tried all the other Jamaican restaurants here I wasn't impressed. reggae kitchen is the only restaurant that preferred. They got the best jerk chicken oxtails, rice and peas, cocoa bread, and curry chicken in the city. read more

Great, authentic Jamaican cuisine! We had the oxtails, jerk chicken and wings. All tremendous! Love love love the cabbage and beans/rice. Large portions so come hungry. It is a little unassuming place but the hospitality was larger than life. Definitely returning...can't wait to try more of their dishes! read more

They are doing take out only. I ordered a large order of Oxtail, a small curry chicken, extra side of cabbage, a beef pattie and a Ting. It was $31. Very reasonably priced. DELICIOUS food! Quick as well. The only orders that take longer are fish and shrimp because it is all made to order so it takes 45 min for those. I highly recommend this place! I love it! Only downside was they didn't have any hot sauce to go but it was definitely worth the trip in the heat! read more

One of the best Jamaican spots in town!! The jerk chicken is amazing. Also love the rice and beans and cabbage. Put this place on your restaurant list! read more

COVID-19 review: I'm so grateful that I live in an area that offers a wide variety of food offerings. Had my first try of this place and really enjoyed the food. I was expecting takeout only and there are tables pushed to the side, but no one was eating in. Portions are big. The current price of the ox tail is $18, but it is a very large portion. They had a sign on the wall indicating which menu items they were serving that day. None of the blackened foods were available. And the shrimp and fish take 45 mins?!? He said it's because they cook it up fresh? I guess if I want that I'll order ahead next time. I don't know if these menu modifications are because of a shortage of staff or supplies or what? I ordered the curried goat and it comes with rice and steamed cabbage. Everything had a good flavor and the meat was so tender. Warning: there were a lot of bones in the meat, both big and even tiny bones. Not something you want to eat fast. I guess that just forces you to slow down and savor the food more. The portion was big so definitely enough for two meals. I will be back to try other menu items and hope when the pandemic is over and things get back to normal, I can eat in the restaurant and see what the ambiance is like. read more

This is a great addition to Troost. It's a hole-in-the-wall​ in a good way. Price is right and the food is good. Anytime I eat Jamaican​ I have to have the oxtails and these were delicious. Typical of most Jamaican restaurants, it takes a while to get your food so if you're in a hurry, you may want to call in advance. read more

Not bad, not bad at all. Located just before the corner at 55th and Troost. It's not a well lit up restaurant but you'll certainly be very upset with yourself if you don't try this place. Worth the money for sure! Not to expensive but also not cheap. Why did I drive past this place so many times. Karla's face is the first impression and she's a joy. Hubs and I had questions (due to a nasty horrible experience at another restaurant) She offered a taste test and from there it was hands down a great start. cabbage was cooked Curry goat, curry shrimp and jerk chicken...all 's up. So much food, there's no way you can eat it all in one setting. read more

Best authentic Jamaican food in the city!

Enjoyed Reggae Kitchen! We ordered several dishes. The curry shrimp were big, the veggies were good, the portions were huge and the sauce was delicious. The brown stee chicken was good with a nice gravy. The oxtail were also tasty. The dishes come with rice and peas and cabbage. All good flavor. The food was not spicy so get some hot pepper sauce if you like heat. We will definitely return! read more

Amazing goat curry, the rice and beans are flavorful and the cabbage is great. Wonderful soul soothing food!

The food is great my favorite is the ox tails I've been there several times only because the food is good but to be honest the customer service is not very good at all. The lady that I called my order in and spoke with was rude of the phone and even More rude in person. I don't think I'll be going back anymore just because I really didn't enjoy my experience at all. I love Jamaican food so I'll be trying other places. read more

Enough flavor to knock your taste buds all the way to Jamaica. Jerk Wings are out of this world delicious. Oxtail gravy on top of the rice and peas was a life changer. Have you ever been asked- "if there is one thing you would take if you were trapped on an island, what would it be ?" My answer to this question would be the chef at Reggae Kitchen! read more

Had a great take out meal from here- the oxtail was amazing! The curry chicken was great, too. The escovitch fish was so freaking good and so fresh. Everything came with rice and beans and cabbage, and portions were huge. We will definitely be coming back soon. Check it out! read more

The food is great, I've had the goat, oxtails and chicken. You won't be disappointed. The meatpies go so fast you almost have to be there when they are cooking them. You'll miss out if you don't stop in and try. read more

I was curious about this place, and I had a taste for Oxtails, I got the Oxtails and Curry Goat. The curried goat was delicious, the beans and rice were good as well, they added enough of the juice from the curried goat. The Oxtails were good but could have been cooked a little longer, but the taste and seasoning was on point. I will be back! read more

The food was ok, the wait was a bit long. They ran out of rice so we had to wait. It was very dull in the restaurant not like other Jamaican restaurant where you have Caribbean music, not even the TV was on. While waiting everyone was just on their phone. read more
