    Hands down the best food I've ever had in Madison. Probably the most unique flavor profile you will find in the city. Tastes home cooked

    Grabbed a meal from there spontaneously…read more The meat was tender and falling off the bone but the flavor was mostly in the sauce. Rice and beans were good. Service was all that is should be in a mall & the areas looked clean and maintained.

    The Taste of Jamaica is a nice addition to have in Madison, WI since there isn't a-lot of options…read morefor great traditional Jamaican cuisine in the area which is located in the food court of the West Towne mall! I love Jamaican food and I have been there on more than one occasion. The first time I visited, I had the curry goat which was excellent! :) Their curry goat was fresh, extremely tender, well seasoned full of flavor with a nice side of delicious cabbage and rices & peas. Another time I went there, I had curry goat again and it wasn't as fresh possibly sitting out for a really long time, only got a small portion, super oily, and didn't taste good. Another time I had their oxtails which was very good but not the best Jamaican oxtails I have had. I got very little portion of small oxtails (couple scoops full) and it cost me about $20 but I also ordered it with a side of cabbage and rice & peas. I have gone to some better Jamaican spots in nearby Chicago and Milwaukee and they give a-lot more better larger portion size of larger oxtails that tasted better with the sides also for about the same price. Oxtails are very expensive in general to purchase but I felt like I didn't really get much for the price in comparison to some other a Jamaican restaurants I have been to recently. However, their Jamaican cabbage is amazing absolutely delicious!!! Originally, I gave Taste of Jamaica five stars because when I first visited, their food was fresh, excellent, and the portion sizes were pretty good but I have gone more than once since then, and they are not always consistent in the quality & execution of their food so I had to change my review. There isn't a-lot of competition for Jamaican cuisine in Madison, WI so I feel if there was, they would step up their game a lot more. They are still absolutely a-lot better than David's Jamaican cuisine in Madison. I hope they continue to deliver better consistency with their food!!!

    To start off with, the jerk chicken and the jerk pork alike are really solid. Very tender, and well…read moreseasoned. Additionally, the proprietor is quite kind and customer oriented. The beans and rice were undercooked, dry and not very well flavored. That was a surprise to me. The side of cabbage was a bit oily and also not very well flavored. Additionally, even though the printed menu has quite a few things on it, call ahead, because when we went, there was only chicken and pork on the menu. I will say that the portions are very generous, and so even one dish is enough for two people. I'm willing to go back again, because maybe it was just off the day that I visited.

    While shopping in downtown Antioch, IL, we stopped in Queens Caribbean Kitchen to check out the…read moremenu. The owner, Quinta, explained the dishes, showed us the private dining room and even made us a dish to sample. Right then and there we decided we wanted a group experience. Because we wanted to try everything, we requested a family-style dinner of jerk chicken, jerk pork, rice bowl (curry rice, black beans, mango salsa), steamed cabbage, fried plantains, rice and peas, fufu and egusi stew, with pineapple and coconut cakes and ice cream for dessert. We were not disappointed! Everything is home made with fresh ingredients and love. A big thank you to Quinta and her daughters for a very special and memorable night. Queens Caribbean Kitchen is primarily take-out but does have a few window seats if you want to eat in. I would urge you to gather your friends and fill up the private dining room and have the same great experience we had. Laughter and food... you can't ask for more.
