Wow! This is our first time visiting Fort Lauderdale and we got lucky and found this place on Uber Eats. We ordered the Traditional jerk chicken and ox tail and my wife and I blacked out for 21 minutes. The food was that freakin good. read more

Amazing food. Takeout place, it'll take time to prep so be patient. Ordered oxtail dinner with rice and cabbage. Got lentil soup as well. Price wise it's not inexpensive, but the quantity and quality of the food made up for it. Oxtail was falling off the Bones. By far one of the best examples of Jamaican oxtail I've had. Appreciate the veggie and time it took to make it. The two of us were filled with one order. In a mall, plenty of parking. read more

The owner of this place is extremely disrespectful and one of the rudest people I've ever met while I was out on work. The craziest thing is I actually wanted to come back to try the food from this place, but couldn't even get to that point with how rude I was treated just walking in, If you wanna be treated like dirt, I recommend coming here. read more

Take out only. Call ahead as each order is prepared with care and attention to all of the Jamaican spices you love. Every bite was tantalizing to the tastebuds. Piping hot and bursting with flavor. Generous portion. Great value for lunch. Chef personally came out and was so sweet Wish I lived closer!!! read more

Chef Rose Jamaican Cuisine - Lunch special. Curry chicken, Rice n peas, and steamed veggies. - Caribbean Near Me - Sunrise, Florida

Ok so let me tell you something...South Florida is basically little Caribbean with representation from so many cultures. That being said Broward county is home to tons of Jamaicans and off course with that comes many authentic Jamaican food spots when you are craving some good Caribbean food! I have been to most of the options but had never heard about Chef Rose and his restaurant! I was in the area and searched on Yelp for top rated Jamaican food and his restaurant popped up to which I said let me give it a try and boy am I glad I did! This is by far the BEST Jerk Chicken that I have ever had and the portion sizes compliment the big bold flavors that you get from every bite! One thing also stood out to me on my visit was the wall of recognition. In his very modest and authentic space, there's a wall decorated with all of the accolades he received over the years and I can attest that each of them were well deserved. Chef Rose also ventured out from the kitchen to visit with me as I sat and waited on my food to be prepared as each dish is made to order so I highly recommend calling your order in before getting there because while the food is worth the wait, it does take between 20-30 minutes to prepare depending on what you order! This is the best tasting Jamaican food I have had! read more

It'll take a little bit of time but it is absolutely worth. The food is made to order, fresh. Seasoned well! Without a shadow of a doubt can recommend. The food is unique, vegan friendly, I just wish I there were more vegan meals here that I could try. Like something with lions mane mushrooms. read more

The best caribbean spot hiding in plain sight! Customary orders can be placed to you're liking so you'll never get enough!

We dined at Chef Rose today and had a mixed experience. The BBQ Jerk chicken, Curry Goat and sweet plantain were excellent, but we were disappointed by the rice and peas. It seemed excessively seasoned with black pepper, overpowering the other flavors on the plate. However, the most disappointing aspect of our visit was the abysmal customer service. the lack of attention from the staff significantly detracted from the overall dining experience. Between the fact that there was ZERO acknowledgement...not a "hello", or "I'll be right with you", even though we were the only customers there, and the long wait times (it appears they cook one plate at a time.. it took nearly an hour to get our 2 meals)- customer service clearly is just not a priority. Lastly, this is not a dine-in restaurant- it's really a take out spot that you should call and place the order an hour ahead. Inside there are no tables, just one long table facing the parking lot with 4 or 5 stools and 2 tables outside. I strive to give fair reviews and will not base on food or customer service alone, but an average of the overall experience .... 3 stars seems almost too high for what we experienced and for the price of over $50, but it's an honest review, that's what is most important. read more

Bang for your buck! Saw the reviews and had to try! We also suggest like everyone else to order early via phone. Depending on your order size it may take 30mins-1hr as things are made fresh. Seating is limited so most likely it'll be a takeout order. Since everyone said they ate before taking pictures, I took on the personal mission to let my phone eat first and boy did the smell made it tempting! Portions were huge and we realized we ordered (3 orders) a lot for 2 people. Jerk chicken $7: is spicy! There are more veggies than meat but that's a healthy portion. Oxtail $30: this was deliciously marinated and textured as the meat was still juicy and tender and fell right off the bone. Would get again. Chef Ital stew lunch special $10: lots of veggies. Sweet but with a slight spicy/peppery kick. Quinoa, lentils, chickpeas, pumpkin, callaloo, sweet potatoes, & herbs. Sweet plantains: Yum! Could never go wrong with this! Creamy/coconut grits. Cabbage: I dislike cabbage but it they somehow made it taste good! Friendly service as they all greeted us when we came to pick up our order. read more

I randomly found this place on the internet and went on the positive reviews in choosing to order food here. I'm so glad I did. This was one of the best meals we've ever had. You can taste how fresh and homemade everything is, as well as it being prepared with love. We liked it so much that I called Chef Rose to thank him read more

I love the way he listens to your craving and makes it come to life, believe me you won't regret it. The natural flavors are to die for. Nothing was salty. I love the service I received, I love when owners are so down to earth, mingling with their customers. The owner explained every flavor and how he makes it. Everything is made from scratch, hence the "order ahead of time police. I'll definitely will be a returning customer over and over. Also try the Rasta pasta read more

They do not make your food until you get there to pay !!!!!! They will tell you 30 minutes over the phone , and when you get there you'll have to wait another 40 minutes for your food !!!!! Edit : The food is very mediocre ! Would not try again. The rice and peas look like it came from a container of Iberia. I had brown stew chicken, cabbage , rice and peas and salt fish fritters. I love rice and I can eye some good rice, I knew before I tasted the rice it wouldn't be good. Never again. Would have gotten oxtails but they're $40! I would have been mad if I bought them and they tasted like this chicken. read more

Great food. I had the oxtails and the ital stew. Ital stew hands down the best. I would eat this every da

Jerk chicken please. Had a craving and wanted to try a new spot. This brought me here. Small clean spot in a half empty shopping plaza with plenty of parking. It's a take out place only. You walk in, menu is on the right and order at the window. Food is fresh made to order so it's best to order ahead or you'll be waiting around 20 minutes or so depending on much you're ordering. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and dumpling. And also an order of salt fish fritters. Loved the jerk chicken but did not care for the sides. The salt fish fritters were very "meaty" and tasty. Solid spot for some jerk chicken. Would try their shrimp n grits next time. read more

So I decided to go get some authentic Jamaican food since the commercial location by my job curry chicken triggered a migraine ( dnt ask me what they're putting in there). I went to an old spot I used to go to in the area and it was closed. My heart was broken so I decided to start googling places close by and this place showed up. It had great reviews on Google & Yelp but you knw the internet lies. I said screw it let's give it a try. So I get to the shopping plaza and it was like a small spot.... I consider that a Win & puts me closer to authentic levels. I spoke to Chef Rose and he told Me orders are made to order so it would take like 30 minutes..... I was like ehhhhh I'm here so imma make it do what it do. The location only has a few places to sit & it's a bar top. They sold different types of drinks and had a wide variety menu. The restaurant was clean not a lot of decor. I added a lemonade to my Order and it came in a mason jar which is super cute. They home make the Sorel, lemonade and fruit punch. They also had some beers and sodas available. My food was packaged nicely with aluminum foil on the inside and it was Saran wrapped which I'm here for cuz no one wants curry Stains everywhere. So I got the curry chicken and rice and peas. The presentation was great and the curry chicken had so much stuff in it. This is my 1st time ever having boneless curry chicken. It was love at 1st bite. The rice was well Cooked and the curry chicken was packed with flavor. I truly enjoyed my Meal and even though it was 20-ish minutes from my job, I've ordered it multiple times within a 2 week period. The lemonade was sweet but so good ( I made sure it was sweet before I got it). I will say that he has good customer service, is personable and the food is so good. And very filling. There wasn't any skimping on the potions size. I think this spot is really a gem. If you're ordering over the phone the food is ready in like 30-ish minutes. If you place an Uber eats order I would recommend giving them a call To confirm how long your order will take because It might be longer than the 30 Minutes ( that's if you're picking up). The 2nd time I went I got fried dumplings with my curry chicken and it was fried to perfection. The outside was golden brown and the inside was super soft. The dumplings weren't over fried and they were delicious. Overall, This is def my new spot. Now because of his cooking style His curry sauce is thicker than what I'm used to but I had o let him Know I need more gravy for all that rice and he was very accommodating. He also has some vegan and vegetarian options which was supe cool to see. This spot is def worth a try. read more

10/10 flavors! authentic and made with love. great vegan options as well! husband and i were both satisfied and will be back for more :-)

If you're looking for amazing Caribbean flavor this is the place to go. I will say that I ordered Rasta pasta and when I got home I realized there was only veggies.. I never said vegan so I'm not sure if they have a regular version however I was not offered the option for meat when ordering.. this is not your traditional version and not at all what I was expecting but the flavor was pretty good, I'd defunitedly call it veggie pasta haha or pumpkin pasta as the flavor was not at all like Rasta pasta.. the winner of the night though was the curry snapper, with rice and peas and plantain .. this dish was absolutely amazing and I'd go back for that alone! I also tried the curry coconut wings which were very super yummy and cooked to perfection. I suggest calling ahead, it's not a sit down place and all the food is made to order so you can customize it however you'd like. read more

Found this spot from the reviews and we've been back 4x since. We have said we were going to leave a review every time but always forget because the food is so good. It's incredibly difficult to get photos before you eat so if you don't see more reviews on here, please know it's not because this place isn't good. It's because this place is so good that the food is just too good that you can't even take 3 seconds to take a picture. This food is so good that last time, we ordered it from Uber Eats and the driver stole our food. If you like real, authentic Jamaican food that tastes like your grandma put her soul into it, just do yourself a favor and eat here. Your soul will thank you. Also, yes, this place is slow. Everything is made to order so it takes forever. If you've ever been to a meal with someone who really COOKS, it takes like an hour. *Note: the photos below are after we ate everything. Not reflective of how much food actually comes in the plate. As I said, the food is hard to get photos of. read more

Good Day, good people! This review had to be done! This was the last food stop in Ft. Lauderdale for me and my wife before we left town! You know how I do, I rate, service, atmosphere and of course FOOD!! Service (5 Stars) the lady that took our order was kind and nice and made sure we got everything with the order. The cook even came out front to greet me and let me know food is being made with love! Lol super points for that. Atmosphere (5 stars) the establishment is clean. There are a few seats to sit at but it's more of an order to go type of establishment. So for what it is, it does that perfectly! Food (5 stars) if you like flavorful Jamaican food then you need to be here! ATTENTION if you order at the restaurant you will wait at least 25-30min because they cook your food to order so it's best to call it in and pick it up! However it is sooooo worth the wait! I had the Large Oxtails with Rice and Peas and Sweet Plantains. So good and FRESH! The oxtails were falling off the bone! I always come through when I'm in town because it's so worth it! I recommend you go too! read more

Hands down, the best Jamaican food I've ever had! Chef Rose and his wife are incredibly friendly people. Our food arrived piping hot, and the portions were incredibly generous.

I'll definitely be returning for more! read more

If you're looking for the best Jamaican food you will ever have in your life, this is the place. My family and I live in Austin but anytime we visit Ft.

The restaurant walls are covered in awards from Yelp and the state of Florida, along with Chef Rose's story of success and authenticity. This is THE Jamaican restaurant. read more

Do you want to eat good Jamaican food do yourself a favor and come here. If you are in a hurry.... You don't deserve their food anyways. This is a small, made to order, fresh off the press take-out food. Nothing fancy, other than their spot on food taste. There is about 4 seats inside and two two person tables outside. This food is to be ordered preferably and then picked up. Our 2 orders took 30 minutes to deliciously create and worth the wait. I had the Vegan Rasta Pasta that would make any carnivore envious. My husband had the jerk chicken paired with the cabbage & rice and peas. Every other bite from him was, "this is so good!" I think he embarrassed the owner by telling him he liked the meal so much approximately 3 separate times, lol. I am still on a good happy eats high while writing this. Highly recommend in the area. Small restaurant with 5 Star yum factor. read more

This place is the definition of 5 stars. Food is amazing every time. Well worth the wait times, worth the price, and I drive here from Miami so its even worth the drive. The portions justify the price point, without a doubt. The brown stew salmon dinner is my go-to order, but the pasta is also so tasty. Much respect to Chef Rose, they're doing an awesome job over there. Easily my favorite food spot in Broward. Much love. read more

This food make take a while but it's worth every second because chef Rose is making everything fresh, hot and injecting a whole lot of love and soul into every dish. I've been on this earth for 37 years and outside of Jamaica and hell even in Jamaica this is some of the best Jamaican food I have ever had in my whole life. Everything right down to the cabbage which my wife doesn't normally eat elsewhere is delicious. I cannot wait to be back to try something new. From a humble restaurant comes this eye opening deliciousness. I'll be back again, very soon and I will keep coming back. read more

I was visiting Ft Lauderdale and ran into this gem. I ordered the curry chicken with rice and peas and boiled dumplings. I was a bit surprised to hear the food was "made to order" and that it would take 35 mins to prepare as I was starving! Unfortunately it took 1 hour and 15 mins to prepare, but I have to say the chef put his heart and soul into this dish. It was fresh and delicious and made this Jamaican proud! I highly recommend this restaurant, just be sure to plan ahead and call in your order before you go. They do have a small counter space for you to eat, but most of their business seems to be take out. I also want to add that the owner was kind enough to offer a beverage for the long wait. I had the homemade fruit punch and that was also awesome. If you're looking for amazing Jamaican cuisine, give this place a try! read more
