    Ordered on door dash and it was surprisingly good. The chicken curry was spicy but not too much.

    Went to Yaso for lunch on a beautiful July day - quite the rarity in July in Indiana. The location…read morewas closed for indoor dining, but you could order and pick up your food from the drive thru and enjoy your meal in their nice outdoor seating area. By the time we left, they were open for business inside. There is A LOT to be said for a business opening under the circumstances that they can work under, so I really appreciated them being open and serving! I ordered the vegetable stew, a veggie pattie, and a jerk chicken kid's meal. You will get so much food even with the kid's meal. The chicken was cooked very well and tasted delicious. I ordered the spicy sauce, and while I think it could have been much hotter, I think most people would find it sufficiently spicy. I would 100% get the vegetable stew and the jerk chicken again, but would probably pass on the pattie. Nothing wrong with it, but the other dishes were just that much more amazing that I'd like to save room for them. Don't hesitate to give this location a chance. You won't regret it!

    2022-12-28. Yaso Jamaican Grill. Indianapolis, IN…read more A stand-alone building located at Spruce & Prospect streets, Yaso is an unsuspecting place nested amongst the homes in Fountain Square on the southeast side of Indianapolis. There is free parking if you enter off Spruce street but there are only about 10 spots. There is also an outdoor patio just out front if you prefer the open air. Being winter, we opted for the warmth of the indoors with our meal. The staff is super friendly here and they have two separate dining areas and a bar. The menu covers all your Caribbean staples; Jerk Chicken, Curry Goat, Curry Chicken, Oxtail, Ackee & Saltfish, and Fricassee Chicken. They also have some freshly made juices and a variety of imported sodas. We went with the Jerk Chicken (of course), and a Curry Goat. We also ordered a fresh mango guava to help wash it all down. They also claimed to serve authentic Jamaican Rum Cake, so of course we had to put that to the test too! Jerk Chicken. We ordered both a regular portion ($10) and a kids portion ($6). Each meal came with rice and peas, cabbage slaw, and plantains. The chicken was cooked thoroughly (baked) and then grilled to give it that nice char and keeping it authentic. The regular portion was made with medium spice and the kids portion was made with mild. The medium spice level turned out to be quite mild, but I'm thinking the spice levels are catered to the locals and the regulars, but it was still pretty flavorful. 3.5 stars. Curry Goat. This came with the same sides of rice and peas, cabbage slaw, and plantains ($16). While it was a little pricey, the flavor was quite good. The curry was not overpowering and there was a nice subtle spice to it. 4 stars. Mango-Guava juice ($4.50). Made fresh in-house, the drink was not overly sweet, but sweet enough. I'm a fan! 4 stars. Jamaican Rum Cake ($5.00). This surprised me to be honest, and it definitely reminded me of the same Spiced Rum Cake I had in Jamaica. An incredibly moist and denser cake due to the amount of liquid in it, there was a decent amount of Rum. It wasn't spiced rum like I had in Jamaica, but was still tasty. Notes of raisins were also present, and what I assume to be the local spin on this cake was notes of raspberry. 4-stars. Overall, Yaso was a good experience. I didn't go with the oxtail this time around, but wish I did. The Jerk Chicken was just ok, the flavor was mild, but it was prepared correctly. The Curry Goat fared better and I'd return for that. 4-stars overall. If you would like to experience more, come dine-with-me.yelp.com I'd love to have your company! Bon Appétit!

Very fine beef filling and delicious pastry. Mac n cheese- amazing! Zesty and creamy. Perfect with the green beans! Green beans- so smoky and tender. Pairs perfect with the Mac n cheese! Gumbo Greens- I was so excited, but I didn't really like it. Too much filé or herby for me. Gave it a weird taste. But it was thick with meat and rice and greens! It ain't cheap. And it's really good. We will definitely try more things!

    To be honest, I had been wanting to give this place another try because the first time I visited,…read morethe main entrée -- the oxtails -- was extremely salty. I finally made it back today around 8:45 p.m. I knew the restaurant closed at 10 p.m., so I made sure not to come at the last minute. I ordered and paid for my food at 9:06 p.m. My concern is that I was told my order would be ready in about 10-30 minutes, but I did not receive my food until 10:06 p.m. I remained patient and respectful the entire time, but there was no apology for the delay. Then, after getting home, I found the food once again overly salty to the point that it was difficult to enjoy. For the price paid, I expected better quality and customer service. I truly want to support Black-owned businesses, which is why I came back and gave the restaurant another opportunity. However, consistency, professionalism, and consideration for customers should remain the standard for everyone at all times. I hope this feedback is taken constructively, because there is definitely room for improvement in both service and food preparation.

The inside is quite roomy with plenty of room to spread out. We were quickly seated and greated to get our drink orders. A few of us tried the passion fruit juice drink which comes in a rather large glass but was quite good. For an appetizer we ordered a few of the Haitian Pates which were amazing and each one was big enough for 2-4 people to share. For our meals, we ordered the chicken entree, pork entree and the turkey entree. Each entree came with a number of side items on the plate. I was amazed at how much food and how many items we received for the price we paid. The server was very friendly and attentive although we did have to chase her down for the bill which wasn't really a problem. Plan on having cash to tip because once she ran my card, she said she didn't have a way to add tip to the bill or the credit card slip. Maybe you can add it ahead of time, but I didn't think to ask before. Luckily our party had some cash to tip. We really enjoyed all of the food and will definitely be back soon.

There is a lot of parking available in the lot that it shares with the other business in the strip mall that it is located. They have a decent sized dining area, that almost looks like a banquet hall. There is a roped of VIP area, a non-alcoholic bar with seating, a vip room and a stage where they host live music. It looks like it would be a hoping place on weekends. You will also find an ATM here as well as a few televisions around the bar area. There is a patio area in the front of the restaurant, but it was closed and had tables stacked on top of each other when I was there. I decided to dine in, which was kind of awkward. I was never seated. I just found a table after standing there for about 5 minutes. The table was not very stable and rocked throughout my meal. Normally, the server brings a glass of water out to the patrons too, but that was not the case here. I had to even track down the server to take my order. The staff there is friendly enough, but as I have mentioned, they are very hard to communicate with. They offer a limited menu that rotates based on the day of week. This is an authentic restaurant. I mean authentic, authentic. communicating with them was very difficult. They did not understand a word I said and vice versa. Somehow I was able to place my order, even though it took a while. I went with the fried goat, which came with french fries, plantains and slaw. I ended up having to point out the drink I wanted in the cooler behind the bar. It took about 10 minutes for me to get my food and it looked delicious. I will be honest though, it was not very good. The plantains tasted like cardboard, the fries were a bit off too. The goat was good, but it and the rest of the food was luke warm at best. It was like it was already prepared and just put on the platter. I ended up throwing my plantains away and I do not like to waste food, but I just could not eat them. I really really had high hopes for this place, but it did not deliver. The food just did not do it for me. The communication issue affected the service and the prices were a bit steep. my meal and drink ran me about $25. I hope that my visit was an off day for the restaurant, but I will probably not be coming back anytime soon.

    After dinner at The Dining Room at RH, we were looking for a place to go for a night cap. Specially…read morea place within a mile or two that has a full bar. Naturally, I pulled up the Yelp app to search for something open nearby for recommendations. Turns out Delicia is one of my friend's boyfriend's favorite restaurant in Broad Ripple. They both frequent the restaurants in that area as they live in the neighborhood so that's definitely saying something and I can see why based on the vibe and atmosphere! We were only there for drinks (which were amazing) and they were definitely worth making another trip for. I ordered the "Pulparindo" which is slightly spicy tamarind vodka, fresh mango puree, raw sugar simple, lime juice and a yummy tajin rim. I would have had more of it wasn't last call when we placed our order. Another popular choice was the "FIRE 'N' Ice" made with el charro jalapeño infused reposado tequila, hibiscus I basil I habanero reduction, tres chiles infused ice ball. Beautiful presentation with all the drinks. Our waitress was great and attentive. I also really liked how I felt instantly in a better mood in that space and I will be going back again for dinner soon.

    We tried this spot for a birthday celebration on. Sunday evening and we were not disappointed!…read more The restaurant was clean and had a cozy vibe sitting in the large booth with my family. The service was quick and staff were friendly. We LOVED the queso and Johnny Cakes for appetizers. Everyone's meal was delicious and well portioned. The ingredients feel fresh and intentional with every dish. Overall, I wouldn't consider this restaurant a "must try" but a very solid option! If you're in town and looking for a more upscale experience with a Caribbean/Spanish cuisine then I would recommend this spot.
