    Chicken Soup for the Soul.
    Jose B.

    Great Jamaican food homestyle all the regulars like oxtail, chicken soup, ackke and salt fish and beef patty really makes yoi nostalgic for the ood country.

    Ackee and saltfish with potatoes, and banana.

    Hands down the best breakfast. I'm from Harlem, and have ordered and eaten at most restaurants. This one right here is pretty good. Also, you get your monies worth. Ackee wasn't salty either.

    Chicken wasn't fully cooked

    I was kinda disappointed chicken was good but noticed it wasn't fully cooked Mac and cheese wasn't good was just orange macaroni couldn't even taste the cheese I didn't get the Plantains which was supposed to be a extra side when I ordered medium rice and peas were good I doubt I'll order again maybe in the summer when the jerk chicken is coming off the grill.

    Stopped by right before closing and the service was great! Of course they were out of curry goat roti but that's no ones fault. Probably for the best since it was $14 which I think insane. I got a (clean) hole in the wall vibe from his place and that's how I knew it would be good. Lovely neighborhood feel. I appreciated the fact that the counter guy was super helpful since I was placing an order for someone else and they take credit cards! $14 roti or not I will be back to try it.

    Delicious (and huge portion, for the money) plate of Jerk Chicken with rice and peas and a beef pattie on the side. It was delicious, spicy, and the beef pattie was out of this world! Will definitely be going back!

    I tried to eat it but oil was everywhere!!

    This is the worst experience I have had ever! I ordered ackee and salt fish and what I received was salt fish and onions. There was hardly any ackee to begin with and the food tasted mostly like onions - it was like they substituted ackee for onions or something. I just can't understand how they could send that out. When it arrived the bag was wet and oil had spilled everywhere! I had to get a tray to make sure I didn't mess up my kitchen. Then once I opened that bag there was oil everywhere!! I was still trying to be optimistic - hopefully the food would be good after but when I opened it, it didn't even smell like ackee!!! JUST ONIONS!!! and the dumplings and bananas were swimming in oil!!! SWIMMING!! I was so disgusted I couldn't even finish the food - I couldn't. I feel bad throwing food away but I would never recommend them, EVER!! It was such a horrible experience - ugh!

    Waste of $15

    I ordered my food through Postmates and if it wasn't for my delivery man I'd give this place 1 star. I ordered oxtail with rice and peas with cabbage, with extra sauce on the rice. As someone who LOVES Jamaican oxtail and doesn't get to eat it often I was very excited to eat this meal. Unfortunately everything about this order was underwhelming. They gave me 4 oxtails and one bone with no meat on it, there was half a scoop of cabbage and a decent serving of rice, but no sauce on the rice. Worst part about the entire meal is, it had NO FLAVOR. I had to add salt on the rice just to eat it. The flavor is was lacking wasn't salt but I had add some flavor to try to enjoy this over priced meal. Will never order from here again.

I would…read morestrongly suggest that you make reservations prior to coming as Jasmine's is a small and cozy restaurant. Even though the restaurant is small and cozy, it is such a vibe. The DJ draws you in with the old school jams and connects the crowd through the great music. For dinner, I had the curry chicken with steamed vegetables and rice and peas. The food was flavorful, delicious, and very pleasing to the eye. I also had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jasmine as she was very active on the floor serving and greeting the customers. I will definitely be back real soon. Thanks again to the DJ for the birthday shout out!!

    This review is a little late, but I visited over the July 4th weekend and had a great experience…read more Even with a reservation, we waited briefly while the restaurant seated a party of six. The interior is cozy, with tables fairly close together, but they seemed to turn over quickly, so it was not an issue. The décor gave the restaurant a warm island vibe, and the music fit the atmosphere perfectly. The music was played at a comfortable level, so we did not have to shout across the table to hear one another. Once seated, we were promptly given water and menus. The service was great. Although I no longer remember our waitress's name, she was friendly and very attentive. She checked on us regularly and made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed throughout our stay. As someone who grew up eating Jamaican food, I was a little skeptical, but this place far exceeded my expectations. I started with the codfish fritters, which tasted like home, except home does not serve them with such a delicious dipping sauce. I also had the Scandal Rum Punch, which was very good. For my entrée, I ordered the oxtail with rice and peas and vegetables. I was pleased that the oxtail was not overly fatty, and the meat fell right off the bone. I also really enjoyed the rice and peas. My only critique was that the oxtail had a little too much browning, but it did not overpower or negatively affect the flavor. They were also offering happy-hour specials on appetizers and drinks, which was a bonus. My company and I left happy and satisfied with full stomachs. I would definitely return to explore more of the menu.

There were only 2 other parties seated and we were seated immediately upon arrival. It's fairly dark inside and the decor reminds me a bit of New Orleans. I enjoyed the ambiance. The drinks were great! I had the cocobella while he had margaritas. The table bread was hot and fresh, so make sure they bring it to the table for you. We had the mussels for an appetizer, lamb chops and bass. EVERYTHING was excellent! The flavor of the broth for the mussels was Devine, so much so my husband used his bread to sop up all he could. The bass had great flavor and came with sautéed spinach that was well cooked. It initially looked like a small portion but turned out to be plenty. The lamb chops were cooked to the requested temp and seasoned well. We left no crumbs. This one is definitely worth a try!

    Sometimes you don't need a fancy reservation... you just need a tiny spot, loud kitchen, and food…read morethat hits like a heavyweight champ. Walked into Margon Restaurant in Midtown and instantly felt like I found one of NYC's secret cheat codes. Small space, big flavors, zero nonsense. The kind of place where you're elbow-to-elbow with strangers but everyone's united by one thing... serious hunger. Ordered the Cuban sandwich -- pressed, crispy, loaded with roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss, pickles, and mustard. One bite in and I stopped talking... which never happens. This thing didn't just deliver... it showed up early and over-prepared. Then came La Bandera Dominicana Braised beef swimming in savory gravy, yellow rice piled like a mountain, black beans doing their thing, and sweet maduros sitting on top like the victory flag. Simple. Comforting. Dangerous... because now I want it every week. Place gets busy, gets loud, gets chaotic... but it moves like a well-oiled machine. Years of experience and zero attitude. Just good people making great food. In a neighborhood full of tourist traps, this hole-in-the-wall is throwing haymakers. Sometimes the best escape in NYC isn't a rooftop... It's a Cuban sandwich and a plastic tray. And honestly... I'd pick that every time. #nycfood #hiddennyc #midtowneats

There were lots of choices available - we chose the fried chicken chunks and the Cuban sandwich. All were very tasty - would have been awesome if the chicken pieces were boneless but it was still good regardless. We were able to sit down and ate the food there to keep it nice and fresh.
