Jamaican restaurant ★4.0 (54)·$10–20

601 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10022, USA

4.0
So we ordered 2 jerk chickens and a vegetable roti tonight. My daughter and husband said their jerk chicken was good, even though it was an extremely small portion. I had the vegetable roti. The vegetables were tender and well seasoned, though slightly over salted.The roti was straight trash. Why in the world do these spots insist on having roti on their menus? The roti was so bad, not only was it poorly made, it was old! Half of it was hard as a rock, which screams old roti that they probably buy from some other place, freeze and then reheat it in the microwave all week. If you can't hire a roti maker or make it fresh EVERY DAY, dont sell it! I ate all of the vegetables and threw out most of the roti, but I forgot to take a picture of it. - Rachel Gardner
