If you've never had Jamaican food, our menu can raise a few questions. What's rasta pasta? Is curry goat actually goat? How hot is jerk? This guide walks you through it.
If you want a safe first order
- Curry chicken
- Tender chicken in a Jamaican curry sauce with turmeric, thyme, and a little heat. Familiar and full of flavor.
- Rasta pasta
- Pasta in a creamy, seasoned sauce with colorful peppers, named for the red, gold, and green colors of Rastafari. Many guests add chicken.
- Beef patty
- A flaky golden pastry filled with seasoned ground beef. It's Jamaica's favorite grab-and-go snack, and a good starter.
If you want the classics
- Jerk chicken
- Jamaica's signature dish, marinated with pimento, scotch bonnet, thyme, and scallion. Smoky and spicy. Here's what makes it jerk.
- Oxtail
- Slow-cooked until the meat falls off the bone, in a rich brown gravy. This is the dish Jamaicans judge a restaurant by. How we make it.
- Curry goat
- Yes, it's goat. Slow cooking makes it tender, and the curry makes it approachable. The story behind it.
Sides
- Rice and peas: rice cooked with red kidney beans and coconut milk. Why they're called peas.
- Sweet plantains: fried ripe plantains, soft and caramelized. Great with anything spicy.
- Steamed vegetables: seasoned cabbage and mixed vegetables, a Jamaican staple.
Drinks
- Sorrel and ginger: tart hibiscus with a ginger kick.
- Pineapple and ginger: sweet, sharp, and cold.
- Soursop: creamy and tropical. What it tastes like.
