It's a nice addition considering food options are still on the low end in this neighborhood. There are a few combinations to choose from and I ended up going with the Jerk Baby Back Ribs because...who doesn't like ribs of the grill?? Dish also came with a side of slaw and something called a "Festival" which is essentially a Jamaican fried dough. I slathered the ribs in BBQ sauce and was on my way to a filling up my stomach. I think the ribs would slightly be dry if it weren't for the BBQ sauce, but still satisfying overall. The festival and the cole slaw were also pretty good as sides. Took a star off for the service. People were nice, but the food took quite a bit of time to get out. I assume it's probably because they are dealing with the rush of locals working in the area and the tourists visiting Hudson Yards. Overall, will definitely stop by here for lunch again

I'm not exactly sure what sorrel is made of but I enjoyed it. It tasted like a Peruvian drink my grandma always gives us, except the ginger juice adds more. I ordered the pork which came with slaw and festival. They were really good, I loved the festival. I do wish they gave me a little more pork as it was a big tray. I had more festival than pork. I'm still giving it 5 stars cause it was so damn good. I also didn't know what sauce was which so I put both sauces on and they were spicy which I liked. I mean my mouth is burning but I regret nothing.

It's a small establishment, but the food definitely makes a big impact. The chicken was perfectly cooked--crispy, flavorful, and exactly what I was craving. It was a simple meal done really well, and it hit the spot without feeling heavy. We got the spicy chicken tenders with the honey mustard and jalapeno ranch. Service was quick, and the place itself isn't much to talk about, but they have barstool seating. You don't need to linger there long. I'm so glad to have a place like this nearby. Great local spots that deliver quality food are always worth supporting, and I'll definitely be stopping in again the next time I'm craving some really good chicken and fries.

This is far from your average food hall--I honestly didn't know what to try first! Then I came across Jumieka. As soon as I saw oxtails, rice and peas, and cabbage on the menu, my decision was made. The very first bite took me all the way back to 2004, when I visited Jamaica and experienced some of the best food I've ever had. I hadn't tasted flavors that authentic and unforgettable until I ate at Jumieka. Every bite was packed with rich, perfectly seasoned flavor. It honestly made my mouth happy! For a moment, it felt like my grandmother was back in the kitchen cooking one of her amazing homemade meals. The gentlemen serving the food were incredibly kind and welcoming, and I loved learning that it's a family-owned business. You can truly taste the love and pride they put into every dish. My recommendation: RUN, don't walk, and go get yourself some Jumieka today! If you're at The Hugh and you're craving authentic Jamaican food, this place is an absolute must-visit.

We got two beef patties and two cocoa breads and the total came to $25 with tip. I was wondering…read morewhy, if the food was already sitting there, it was taking over ten minutes to get our order. The man kept taking new orders in between giving us just two beef patties and two cocoa breads. I had just come from a doctor's visit and hadn't eaten in over fifteen hours, so I tried to tell myself maybe I was just hangry and needed to stay calm and patient. Still, something about the whole situation felt off. When we finally got our food, I ate mine right away and it was just meh. I was hoping for more, but not expecting much in midtown and that's exactly what I got, a major letdown. It tasted like a basic beef patty that might impress someone who's never had an authentic or good one before. Later that night, my stomach felt awful. It was the only thing I'd eaten all day, so there wasn't much else to blame it on. My mom saved hers for lunch the next day, or at least she tried to. She said it was so hard it could have cracked a tooth. She honestly believes he gave us old patties and old bread, which might explain the delay when we ordered. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone unless they're looking for stale food and an upset stomach. Skip this spot and try somewhere else in The Hugh.

I ordered for myself, my cousin, and my aunt through their third-party website for pickup. I received a confirmation number and forwarded it to my cousin, who went inside to pick up the order. Unfortunately, there was confusion at the restaurant, they tried to make him pay again and said they hadn't received the order yet. I had to explain over the phone that I had already placed and paid for it online. Eventually, they prepared the food, but the process took a while. They may want to reconsider the system they're using for online orders. As for the food: the beef patty was cold, which was disappointing. The oxtail pasta was good, slightly on the sweeter side, but the oxtail itself was tender. My cousin and aunt said the curry goat was decent. Overall, the food was okay, but I'd recommend ordering in person instead of using their website.

Let me start by saying this. There are **no Jamaican restaurants** on this side of Harlem, so the…read morefact that Island Grill is here is already a blessing. A culinary public service. A community contribution. A gift from the ancestors. And Jamaican food is loved by many, so they picked the right neighborhood. They have been open for quite some time and the location is excellent. High foot traffic, easy to access, and the kind of spot you notice even if you were not planning to eat. I like that the food is displayed right in front of you buffet style. You see every tray, every steam pan, every piece of chicken calling your name. It helps guide your decision, unless you already know exactly what you came for. And visually, the food looks solid. You can see the quality. I have been here a few times, enough to give them a fair rating, and for now I am giving them a **four out of five**. The service has been fine, the prices are good, and I can definitely see myself coming back. Now let me be honest. The food did not blow me away, but it was not bad either. I did not walk out saying "never again." It sits comfortably in that safe zone called "pretty good." And the fact that every time I drive by I see people going in and out nonstop lets me know plenty of folks absolutely love their food. Harlem does not lie. If the food was bad, the neighborhood would have said so loudly and publicly. So based on everything, they are doing something right. Good location, good prices, steady customers, and a style that works. I will definitely return to try more dishes and see if something on the menu grabs me and says, "Yes, this is the one." Cheers.
