CARIBBEAN AUTHENTIC CUISINE - Taste of Jamaica in Michigan

Authentic Caribbean Cuisine is the best Jamaican food you will find in America! The oxtail meat is juicy and tender, the plantain perfectly cooked and the rice and peas fluffy and delicious. The beef patty is packed with flavor. The food is filling and portions very generous. You will not go home hungry after eating here!!! The owner is a very kind and polite man, the service was spectacular. He has several acclaimed awards for a good reason! That being said, great food and great service may need some patience. Every dish is made with love which means you aren't just getting the slop from off the grill. Sit back, relax, enjoy the atmosphere and let him work his magic. 10/10 will definitely coming back every time I am in Troy.

This place is incredible. I had the jerk chicken, red beans and rice and plantains and a ginger pineapple juice to drink. Everything was so delicious. The food is authentic, all natural and made with love. Had a great time chatting with Chef Nev as well. I will be back soon.

This is the absolute best Jamaican food in all of Detroit/Metro Detroit (and yes-I’ve tried them all!) The name is 100% accurate…their food is AUTHENTIC. Every dish is cooked hot, fresh and packed full of flavor. From Jerk to Curry…Chicken to Oxtails-everything is delicious! In true Caribbean style, the owner and all staff are extremely friendly and kind. Quality food takes time and so does authenticity so please be patient. This restaurant stands out b/c the attention to detail is like no other. If ordering take out- just call ahead; If dining in…take a seat and enjoy the island vibes! The flavor is worth the wait!

Some months ago, my husband was watching a food review by Mr. Chimetime. He mentioned that this is the best Jamaican restaurant in Michigan. Recently, due to a business trip, we were able to stop by the restaurant. We went late one night near closing time and came back the following day. O’my goodness, the food was delicious. The first night, we both had curry chicken and Jamaican patties, and the following day, I had oxtails with white rice, cabbage, and plantains. My husband had the Rasta Pasta and a Jamaican patty. We also tried his all-natural sorrel and guava juice mix, and we greatly enjoyed it too! If you're ever in this area, stop by, as you won't be disappointed, but be patient, as you'll be there for at least 30-45 minutes depending on how many customers he's cooking for. The reason is that the food is absolutely fresh... definitely worth the wait! And while you wait, you're entertained with the great sound of Jamaican gospel music! As stated previously, the first night we went was close to closing. My husband and I had the privilege of having a great conversation with the owner. We learned that he isn’t just a great chef but also an herbalist. He grew up in Jamaica, where both of his parents were herbalists, and he decided to fuse his knowledge of herbs and their healing properties with his love for cooking. In essence, when you indulge in his food and drinks, you get not only great-tasting food and beverages but also consume things that are actually beneficial for you. There are no preservatives whatsoever in his food. Yes, we had great food and a great experience! We will most definitely be visiting again!

First day in Michigan came across this Gem! Real Caribbean cuisine I got the jerk, chicken, rice and peas and cabbage and couldn’t forget that ginger root drink man make sure you ready for it lol this meal was top-notch definitely good forgot how much I paid but the service was great! Appreciate blessing thank you

Was visiting Detroit and decided to stop & try this Jamaican spot. Hands down fire! Food was amazing. Great flavor and very authentic! Nev was very hospitable and interacted with every customer! He’s a very nice guy and man can he cook!!! Best Jamaican food I’ve had in AWHILE! We got the small oxtail dinner with rice & peas & cabbage. Also got the small jerk chicken dinner. Everything falling off the bones!!! Cabbage was on point too!

If I could give the food 20 stars, I would! It taste and looked FANTASTIC! I ordered a small Oxtail dinner w/ cabbage, rice and peas, plantain, and a Jamaican Beef Patty. The owner was nice and exuded great customer service, my food was hot, and most of all it was delicious. I found this restaurant on Google as I was looking for a nearby Jamaican restaurant with good food/reviews that would satisfy my Caribbean cuisine itch. I decided to try this place and I’m so happy I did!!! The only hiccup was although I called my order in and got to the restaurant a little past 30 minutes, I still had to wait an additional 10 minutes for my food so please keep that in mind if you’re in a rush. Outside of that, after taking my first spoonful of food I immediately wanted to kick myself in the behind for bot getting a LARGE dinner instead of the small. Lol I will be back again! -Demi or “D” for Delta

I found out about this restaurant from Mr. Chime time on YouTube. I am thoroughly impressed with the taste of every single bite. The food was beyond delicious. If you WANT REAL FOOD, Real customer service, come try this restaurant. I didn’t know the food was going to be THIS GOOD. I had the Oxtails, rice & peas, plantain, and cabbage. DELICIOUS‼I will be coming back. The atmosphere was very pleasant and calming. Nothing beats Authentic Jamaican Food. ~~~Miss Brandy
