Jamaica Yaad Flavor - Washington (PA)

5 /5 Trena Hill: Im visiting Pittsburgh from NY and I googled Carribean Food. Although it was a 20 minute drive from my hotel... the food is worth the trip. Nicole is very welcoming as you enter her restaurant. I ordered the oxtail dinner and the barbi fried chicken. Both meals were delicious.

1 /5 Joy: Yuh mad!!! Overpriced and undergood. Yuh fi duh dat? The poverty on your wallet, oppressive hunger, and dissatisfaction left with that would make Bob Marley roll in his grave. I came for oxtails…I was given the option between small and large. Ordered the large oxtail meal at a steep price of $26. Usually I won’t put a price on good authentic Jamaican but once I opened the container I quickly realized I just paid $26 for rice and peas…and by peas i quite literally mean 8. Yes, so barren I counted. Now to the oxtails: Rahtid! Abandon taste buds all ye who enter. The large meal equals 6 of the smallest gravy-less oxtails I’ve ever been served. Cabbage was good. I should have taken that $26 across the street and quite literally would’ve been able to buy 17 hot dogs with more flavor and love. The only thing good about this place is the exit door.

5 /5 Lauren MacWithey: I got the Large Jerk Chicken Meal. I made a plate for myself for lunch and the container were my leftovers. For $15, this was more than enough food for me to have lunch and dinner later. You walk in and you’re greeted with the smell of warm spices and a friendly smile. The prices are great and the food is even better. The woman working the counter asked if I wanted gravy on my rice and beans and I told her to make it how she would eat it. Advice: GET THE GRAVY! The chicken was so tender and the jerk had just the right amount of spice. I will absolutely be back.

3 /5 Katts Monee: I went to the restaurant at 10:15AM as thats the opening time. I ordered a large stew chicken and beef patty. After paying, I was advised that stew chicken and beef patties were not ready. I was told at time what was ready. I selected the oxtail as there was nothing else I wanted. I also negotiated and received the oxtail at the same price as the stew chicken, which was good on their part. As a Jamaican oxtail is cooked with butter beans, this was not the case. The patty was good, I wish it was more flaky and thicker. I am truly not a fan of oxtail, but it was okay. Heres a tip if you open at 10:00 AM, the chef needs to be in the kitchen from 6:00 AM to have everything ready for opening. I will be back as i am hoping they see my review and take it as constructive criticism and my personal experience.

5 /5 Rhea Richey: The restaurant smelled amazing as I walked in. The people running the place were very friendly and personable. Everything was delicious! I will be back!
