Definitely a typical Jamaican restaurant everybody is dressed in regular clothing. The food is…read moregood, but I feel like it's been sitting out there all day and you're not really getting anything fresh unless you go there when they first start in the morning there's a lot of random people hanging out in there so I really wouldn't recommend sitting down there to eat probably taking it to go. The food is OK I have had better but if you're looking for something quick and delicious it is a good stop.

I will say I got some pieces that were likely skin and a lil chewy but the pieces that were tender and falling off the bone were a DREAM. I got rice and peas and greens with is. I did get some gravy on top of the rice, which I always do, but I'm not gonna lie, it would've been good without it too. The service was quick and welcoming. If you've never experienced Caribbean people, you may think they're a little forward, but coming from a Caribbean household I felt veery welcome and comfortable. The inside is very authentic, not crazy fancy but they work with what they have and I respect that. Regardless, it's a great spot to get food, and I will be coming back very soon! Also! The festival/fried dumplings/ johnny cake... whatever it's called in Jamaica was BOMB. Go ahead and dip that in your gravy if you get it as a side.

This restaurant is obviously a staple in the community as Marie greeted and knew everyone who entered. Her pleasant personality was probably even better than the food, but only slightly. It was a pleasure finding this gem and I'll definitely be back. I'll try to show the actually food next time but no promises, you'll just have to stop by and see for yourself.

I ordered a large oxtail and jerked chicken. Both orders came with plantains, vegetable as well as rice and peas. The jerked chicken was delicious and with plenty of heat. My oxtail was delicious and a good sized portion. Sides were absolutely perfect. I'll definitely be back. Highly recommended.

Stopped by this roti spot after seeing that they advertised doubles and salt and bake -- I went in…read morespecifically excited to try the salt and bake. Unfortunately, they were out when I arrived, which was a bit of a letdown since that was the main reason for my visit. That said, I pivoted and ordered a double instead, and it turned out to be a solid choice. The double was flavorful, especially with the added peppers, and everything tasted fresh and well-seasoned. At just $3, it's hard to argue with the value -- a very fair price for a quick, satisfying bite. Overall, the food itself was good and definitely scratched the Caribbean street-food itch. The ambiance was standard and clean. My only real disappointment was the lack of salt and bake, since it's something I was genuinely looking forward to trying. Still, if you're in the area and craving an affordable, tasty double, this spot delivers. I'll likely give it another shot in hopes of catching the full menu next time.

When my favorite Roti shop went out of business shortly after Covid, I could not find a place to…read moreget my Roti and Doubles from until Down D Island Roti shop opened. Food is always fresh. The doubles sell out fast best to go early or call to order and let them know when you will be in to pick up. The owner is so sweet and it's always a pleasure talking to her when I go. They do have limited seating inside but I have always done takeout.

I definitely think Oga's Jamaican Cuisine is truly a hidden gem in the Plainfield area. I saw it…read moreonline but there were no pictures or reviews on Yelp, so at first I was skeptical to try it. My mindset was in the spirit of supporting Black Owned Businesses, I should give it a try and promote it because this pandemic has really affected some many businesses. So I got a my favorite curry chicken roti and beef patties, I missed out on getting the jerk chicken patty because it had just sold out. I was very impressed with how the beef patties looked, they were nice and fluffy with beef filling up the inside. It wasn't too flaky and in my opinion they were just perfect! The curry chicken roti was definitely a winner! Inside a roti, you will find well seasoned curry chicken mixed with potatoes and I just loved the flavor! I'm getting hungry just thinking about it and I wish I could turn back the hands of time and eat it all over again lol. They have very affordable prices and you get good quality food so you won't be disappointed that's for sure. So I'm honored to be the first one to post pictures and do a review because they deserve it! Check them out and enjoy some real Jamaican food!

The oxtail is tender, the curry chicken is flavorful, and the mac and cheese is pretty good too. There's only street parking, but I don't mind it because i'm typically in and out unless there's a line. If you're looking to get a beef patty or another specific food, I recommend to call ahead of time and check if they've run out or not. It's more of a take out place so it's small inside, but that's ok because I'd rather enjoy the food at home anyway.

I could not believe how much I loved the candied yams. Sweets are normally not my thing but the yams were cinnamony and so good. Great portions too! We will definitely be back.
