Pepper steak, jerk chicken, ox tail, etc. The sides are phenomenal and they do not skimp on portions or spice. If you have any interest in Caribbean food this is a must try location. Be warned however that it is takeout only. The waiting area is also very small. I would recommend calling ahead of time to lessen the hassle

Pretty good Jamaican food near me in Lyndhurst! I am a fan of Jamaican food as a whole (Gar and Mar…read moreis the best sit-down place and Irie Jamaican is the best take out place in Cleveland). But I am no expert. I ordered a large portion of jerk chicken, rice and beans, and steamed cabbage. The large gives 3 chicken portions instead of 2. I am out of food at home since I am leaving to go out of the country for almost two weeks but still needed food for today and tomorrow so I got the large so I could have leftovers. The large was $17. My financial and calorie budgets didn't allow me to also get a patty but they did look delish! My to go order was ready for me 3 minutes after I ordered it so I left to eat half at home. My car started smelling a little like cigarettes with the food in the car, for some reason. As a non-smoker, I wasn't thrilled having that smell in my car for the 10 minute drive back home. Isn't take out food supposed to make your car smell enticing and wonderful? Well, hopefully the food tasted better than it smelled! And it did! I liked both the jerk chicken and the rice and beans better at Irie. The jerk chicken I had a month or so ago at Irie was life changing! This place puts way too much sauce on everything. And it was a little too spicy for me! However, the steamed cabbage better at Taste of Jamaica! The large portion did provide me with leftovers that I will eat for lunch tomorrow so I am happy for that! I enjoyed my food at Taste of Jamaica overall, but for a dollar or two more, I'll get my craving at Irie. But the food here is good though and made very quickly so don't be deterred if you intend on trying this place out!

Unfortunately, the goat, plantains and snapper were out at the time. I will say that the curry chicken was very good and well cooked. The brown stew chicken was also very good. The ox tail was yum but there was too much bone. I wanted to like the jerk chicken but the skin was too tough and blackened. The taste and spice level were good though. The beef patties were DELICIOUS and perfectly flaky. The filling was seasoned and moist. Best of all, our portions were packed to the brim with food. The owner is so warm, welcoming, generous and lovely. She gave us a free mac n cheese side dish as well! Would love to come back to try the menu items that were unavailable!

It almost seems as if it's par boiled as it is plumpish but hard with no tooth-feel. It also has no flavor as if they do not season it at all. It does have a brownish color and kidney beans in it but other than that, it doesn't taste like anything.The chicken in my opinion isn't as good as it used to be. I really don't get a whole lot of jerk flavor from what I should be tasting like thyme, all spice, etc. Not sure if I'll go back but if I do, I'll probably try something different.

I don't say this lightly...this is the real deal…read more I'm originally from South Florida, and I've spent time in Jamaica, so I'm very picky when it comes to Caribbean food. I've had a lot of "close enough" over the years...but this? This is authentic. This is the kind of food that makes you pause midbite and just nod. Dalia's isn't your typical restaurant, and that's part of what makes it so special. It's set inside what feels like a home, and when you walk in, that's exactly the experience...you're not just a customer, you feel like a guest. It's warm, personal, and genuinely welcoming in a way you just don't find in most places anymore. And I have to say...everything is spotless. You can tell she takes pride not just in her food, but in the space she's inviting you into. And she carries that same care into the food. I've been here multiple times, and what impresses me most is the consistency. You know how some places wow you the first time, then slowly fall off? Not here. Every single visit, the food has been just as good as the last. That alone is rare. Now let's talk about the oxtail... Fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, deeply seasoned...but perfectly balanced. Not overly spicy, not bland...just enough heat to remind you you're eating proper Jamaican food. And unlike a lot of places, you actually get meat here. Generous, satisfying portions that feel like someone cooked this for you on purpose. The rice (and yes, it's seasoned beautifully...more like a classic Caribbean rice than traditional peas and rice) is the perfect base, especially when you ask for a little extra of that brown sauce over the top. Trust me on that. The cabbage has a nice little kick to it, cooked just right...not soggy, not raw. The plantains? Sweet, caramelized, exactly what you want them to be. And I have to mention the mac & cheese because it surprised me in the best way. Creamy, with a perfect cheese pull, but not heavy or overwhelming. It's balanced...comforting without being too much. One of the things that really stood out to me is the quality of the meat. I actually asked her about it, and she sources locally from a farm...which explains a lot. You can taste the difference. Also, pro tip: call ahead. Her food is fresh and made with care, and she does sell out. I usually let her know what day I'm coming and what I want, and she's always incredibly accommodating and kind about it. The first time I came, she even gave me a sample plate with a little bit of everything...and there wasn't a single thing on that plate I wouldn't order again. This place isn't just a restaurant...it's an experience. It feels like sitting in someone's home, being fed with pride, skill, and love. Honestly? It's a hidden gem, and places like this are getting harder to find. I'll be back again...and again.

After coming to sit back down they announced that it didn't go through and that they would need payment again. I offered to pay the bill with my money. But my partner said that this is common in some places where restaurants will double charge people! The said an automatic refund would happen and to give them a call if we never received one!
