We want everyone to eat well at Tru Jamaica, and we want everyone to eat safely. If you have a food allergy or dietary restriction, this page explains how to order with us.
Tell us first
Please tell us about any allergies before you order, whether you're dining in, ordering online, or booking catering. For online orders, call us at (254) 304-9288 first if you have a serious allergy.
Our kitchen
We are a small, busy kitchen. Ingredients share prep space, cooking equipment, and fryers. Because of that, we cannot guarantee that any dish is completely free of any allergen. If your allergy is severe, please take that into account.
Ingredients to ask about
Jamaican cooking commonly uses these ingredients, which may matter to you:
- Coconut, including coconut milk in rice and peas.
- Wheat and gluten, in pastries like beef patties, in pasta, and in some sauces and seasonings.
- Dairy, in creamy dishes like rasta pasta and in some drinks and desserts.
- Scotch bonnet and other peppers.
- Alcohol: our rum cake and rum raisin bread pudding are made with rum.
Vegetarian and vegan guests
Some of our sides may work for you. Ask us which ones fit your diet today, since recipes and preparation can vary.
Catering
For events, list every guest allergy on your catering request. We'll talk through the menu with you before anything is finalized.
This page is general guidance, not a guarantee. When in doubt, ask us.
