Came here while on vacation…read more The restaurant was located on a busy street. Parking is available in the back. Atmosphere: upon arrival we were greeted. We entered through the front door which seemed like the back door as we walked around. The inside was a bit cluttered. There were about two booths to sit in. The food was on display, beef patties and other food in warming trays. Service: The attendant was very helpful pointed out the menu asked if we had questions. Food: I ordered jerk chicken and festival. Something I haven't had in a while. My husband got the oxtail and rice and peas with plantain. The food overall was good. I came here because it was highly recommended online. I probably won't recommend this spot. I can very visual when I go to a place and this place needs some tidying up.

The restaurant itself was super cute with fun decor. Ordered the fried goat and an order of the oxtail stew, and black mushroom rice and Beans Sauce. We wish our stomachs were bigger!

Food: Ordered jerk chicken, macaroni salad, peas (beans) &…read morerice & braised oxtails One thing I noticed that the dishes are made with extra care and attention. There's extra vegetables in the dishes. The macaroni salad was to die for. The herbs were right on. The peas and rice were so tasty. I had to hold back from eating more and filling up. Complementary fried plantains were added to the order. The jerk chicken was incredibly tender and there was spicy sauce on the side, added to the chicken. We had not eaten oxtails before. Go figure! They were so Tender and falling off the bone. The sauce was excellent with added carrots and butter beans. So good. Can't wait to go back and try other dishes they offer. Service: Very friendly and attentive. Most people seem to order and carry out. We chose to eat in and they went out out of their way to make us feel comfortable. Ambience: Again, it's more of a carryout restaurant, but the restaurant itself is very clean and inviting. When I go back, I would like to sit down and eat in the restaurant with its colorful decor and reggae playing on the speakers again. Really enjoyed eating there and watching people go in and out with their takeout orders.

Jerk Paradise offers a fun and decent experience with its African dishes. I liked the fact that…read morespoons/forks were not used to eat these dishes since it's a "African thing" :) this made the experience great to try. The egusi and fufu were flavorful but lack the depth expected from traditional recipes (the consistency of the egusi is definitely an acquired taste - not sure I can ever get use to that though). The jollof rice was vibrant and well-seasoned. I'm not an okra fan but the okra soup was really seasoned good but the slimy texture might not be for everyone. The salmon Rasta pasta was well cooked as the noodles were not super soft and mushy and the Salmon was delicious. The service was average, and the ambiance was chill. Overall, while the food has potential, it could benefit from more refinement. Refer to the menu for other options :)

Great homey Jamaican restaurant! I came here a few years ago…read moreand completely forgot about it unfortunately. I'm eating low carb and appreciate that I could just order the meat. Also the prices are very reasonable. I paid 6$ for a 1/2 lbs of jerk chicken that comes with a small jerk sauce (delicious) hint: order an extra one only 75 cent I had the jerk chicken and let me tell it was delicious and filling. Keep in mind the chicken is weighed with bones. I recommend getting one lbs plus of food. The jerk sauce was delicious and had a sweet spicy kick. Highly recommend!! Keep in mind this is a small business but I was in and out with my order in less than 5 min! Delicious

Listen I really don't want to knock them down to 2, but what I had today wasn't what I'm used to…read more Serving size wasn't there for large oxtail and even beyond that, the taste wasn't there. Tasted just like any ol crock pot meat. Now, I've primarily been in Texas the last four months and prior to that, hadn't eaten at G K Dumplin a month or so prior but it was good. New cook or something? They need new training or let go and I don't feel a way about saying that cause the oxtails tasted like they didn't have any seasoning! And the veggies were wayyy too crunchy. Like barely any softness; I'm not used to them ever being cooked to tender but today was just ridiculous. I just remembered they didn't even include my plantains in my oxtails. And the jerk chicken lunch was disappointing. Great price, two pieces of "jerk chicken" with the sides, and a can drink. However, I ordered the chicken with oxtail gravy and what I got tasted like bbq chicken. Meat was tender but if I want bbq chicken, I'd go to a bbq restaurant. Service was off today as well. I waited a minute for the lady to get off the phone. She apologized and for some reason, I wasn't irritated but it was a while so I was definitely heading towards it. Please bring the old tried and true flavors back!
