Little Jamaica: Reviews & Ratings
There was no line as I approached to order. The oxtails were priced at Market price. Needless to say , I didn't ask the price. But, I got 3 oxtails with rice and cabbage. The oxtails were seasoned and meaty . The plantain was just ok. It's a casual ambiance in the mall. A high ticket price for a mall meal. But, it was good!
The oxtails were . Worth the price! Service was also very nice. Located inside the mall.
The oxtail plate I got from here was a great choice for my first visit here. I'm glad that the Wolfchase Galleria has another food option to choose from. My food was really good! The only problem I had was that even though my oxtails were VERY tender, I still wanted the juice and seasonings from the pot to be on my plate which is usually something I didn't have to ask for at other spots. Other than that, it was a pretty good plate and I'm excited to try something else.
I received a nice portion of jerk chicken and rice with peas. I enjoyed my meal. There aren't but one other place I know of to get Jamaican food so I was happy for this place. The service was quick and the team was nice. I plan to go again even though it is in the mall. I can grab and go. I recommend this place if you haven't had Jamaican food before or if you have and in the mood for Pattie's or jerk or rice and peas or curry. Good food.
First time experience, did not know there was another Carib place in town! Service: Located in the heart of the food court it brings a nice friendly, family island vibe. All that was missing was music! Food: They are very generous with portions! Would not recommend their rice and peas; too mushy and was missing something flavor wise. But their curry chicken was okay; tender and spice nice. Their cabbage was okay too; not greasy and well cooked. Hope they expand their menu and location outside of the mall soon!
I don't just give 5 stars for no reason. I can go on and on about this little place cranking out homestyle food, wonderfully spiced and with a smile from the ladies in the back. All I will say is skip the chains in the food court and give this place a try. I will not hesitate to go back if I am ever in the area again.
Imagine my excitement when I found out about this spot. I absolutely love Jamaican food. I've only had the jerk chicken with the rice & peas and cabbage. The food was pretty good but it would be nice to choose which piece of chicken you would like (ex. Thigh and wing or two thighs). The takeout plates are a bit flimsy, I've had food to spill before I got it home. Overall, I think its a good start for Little Jamaica. This is a new business in the area and hopefully they will be around for a long time. We definitely need some diversity here.
Fast and friendly service. Food is very seasoned with a little kick. Reasonable prices. Definitely give them a try!
