So I consider this sort of food as comfort food. We got the jerk chicken meal, with sauce. The…read morespice blend was so flavorful and the rice and peas were hearty and delicious. The pickled warm cabbage goes great with the chicken and rice. I got the wings and Mac and cheese special as well. I didn't care for the wings, too fatty for my liking but my boyfriend liked them. The max and cheese was very cheesy. I should've put some hot sauce on it but it was great. I wanted plantains but the woman working told me they would take ten minutes and I could tell she didn't feel like making them. So I'll get them next time when we both aren't in a rush. Very low key, authentic spot. You go in, order and leave.

PAID TWICE! This food was beyond good. Beating my…read moreexpectations all around. I arrived with my partner and had a nice meal. They got up to pay for the bill. They talked to the waitress and paid with a tip attached that staff selected themselves!!!! 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! Yeah no more like let's just call the bank and dispute it! Run. Run. FAR AWAY.

Absolutely respected us wanting to limit plastic and didn't bag it or give us extras. Also, paper containers for the nachos!!! So many great points. On top of that, AMAZING FOOD! The nachos are just bursting with flavors that aren't always easy to find in Akron. The jerk chicken tastes soo good.

I can't believe I didn't write a review for Jamaican Paradise on Wilmington Rd in New Castle. It's…read morein a little plaza, across from a Dollar General. At night it might be hard to find, not a huge sign. You have to know the turn to get into the lot, or drive by and turn around like I usually do. The beef patties are excellent. Just spicy enough, and a really good pastry shell. I get the jerk chicken, it's always good. The sides are all good. I like the fried cabbage and of course rice and peas. It's an excellent meal, friendly service, and inside its clean and bright. I reccomend this spot completely.

This is an update. Since the school year started again and I've been a couple times. I'm not sure…read morewhy, but they have started using a different type of rice. 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.

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

The pastelillos: beef, chicken, pork were excellent. Packed with meat and seasoned up so you could enjoy them plain or dress them up in a sweet and spicy island sauce. The rice and Mac salad were plentiful alongside our smoked pork ribs. We devoured the dinner and got a second round of pastelillos. I failed in the ok tire taking category because I was too hungry, my apologies... I will do better. For the time being, she indicated they will be doing 1 entree a day Wednesday through Sunday. Call ahead to see what she has! It's going to be good, but I'd hate for you to arrive looking for a robust menu, only to find the simplicity of a single offering :) The island coffee rounded out our lunch and prepared us to conquer the world. Cafe au leche. What a treat!!! I'm only the 2nd Yelp review? That boggles my mind, as I now consider this a must stop.

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!
