Burnt festivials....like why would you serve me that!?? The food is too salty yet bland also. The Coco bread was DRYYY, and the beef patty barely had any beef in it!! Im so disgusted! Id rather drive further south to Yaso's for better Jamaican food! read more

I love this place. It takes me back to Jamaica every time. My new go to is the quarter chicken and ribs combo. I like to get the hot and mild sauce. If my mouth gets too hot, I can switch to mild and not have to stop eating. The rice, cabbage, and plantains are super tasty too! read more

Jamaican Breeze - Combo Meals (Dark & Rib) - Caribbean Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Great food. Atmosphere was on point. I enjoyed the jerk chicken and ribs. A new destination for me and the family

Flew in from Houston for the weekend and figured I'd give the oxtails a try. Baby went for the jerk pot roast. We agree that the food is great and the ambience matched it on this Sunday evening. Black whites Asians and Latinos in the place. Good service and clean! Great food. Love it. Will visit when I return read more

Have gone here a couple times now and ate at the bar. It's a casual atmosphere . Bartender i had is from Jamaica so we had a nice conversation on what rums were good. The food both times has been amazing. Today I had Wednesday special, Jamaican Fricasse chicken. I was a little worried it might be to spicy, but it wasn't but the flavor was wonderful. The chicken fell off the bone. It also came with beans and rice, cooked cabbage and two pieces of plantain. The plantain was perfect!! I couldn't eat all the food, the serving was very generous. I think one of my new favorite places. I was too distracted to remember to take pics, next time! read more

Aye! This place was amazing. Blown away by the taste and the freshness hot food. I didn't get my food to go and sat at the bar. The music was flowing and the vibe was an extra perk. I don't know why this place isn't packed out because this is good authentic Jamaican food. read more

Enjoyed a solo visit here. Friendly service, good food and a fun atmosphere where people seem to have been enjoying themselves. The jerk chicken was lively and delicious. Sides of plantains, peas and cabbage were an excellent accent. Top it with a bottle of Red Stripe and almost imagine you're on the island. read more

Without a doubt, this place has the most authentic West Indian vibe in Indy. It is just 20 feet away from Keystone, but you feel transported ... the music, decor, artwork, and chillness. And then there's the food. They have daily specials that include generous portions of meats or fish plus rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. I'm a big fan of the brown stew, chicken fricasse, and - gasp - jerk pot roast? The jerk chicken is excellent. There are three options - mild, medium, and spicy - and I only get spicy, but it's just the right amount of heat. You must go with the dark meat and when the beautifully-charred chicken comes to you, the chicken falls off the bone. The seafood is also delicious and meant for sharing. Can't wait to come back and watch some cricket! read more

Jamaican Breeze - Jerk chicken dinner - Caribbean Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We came here for an early Sunday dinner. Great vibes, good food and drinks. Laid back service.

This is a cool bit of the islands in Indy. There are cool sounds playing over the speakers and the place is done up in bright colors. Order from the counter and have a seat. They will bring your food to you. The curried goat was quite good. Also, don't miss out on the Jamaican patties read more

Man this place is a great place for a little Sunday date night. They have great food and a live band. The staff is wonderfully nice and pleasant. I'll definitely be back only reason I did not give 5 stars is due to my cabbage being slightly undercooked. But damn everything else was amazing! read more

Jamaican Breeze - Caribbean Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Sometimes being stuck in traffic has a silver lining. We detoured off of Binford - left on to Keystone - noticed the colorful exterior Jamaican Breeze off to the left - and HAD to stop! We walked in to reggae music, wonderful smells, and to the friendliest staff we have encountered in quite some time. We ordered at the counter and took a seat to wait on our food. While we waited, we got our ice cold Red Stripe drafts - perfect on this hot day - and took in our surroundings. Part restaurant in the front, part sports bar on the side, with a party room in the back. There is no shortage of Jamaican themed goodness! The hubs opted for the quarter white jerk chicken which came with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains - and even giving me the cabbage and plantains was more than enough food to fill him up. Being veggie, I opted for a veggie patty and a bunch of sides (clearly marked as vegetarian on the menu - bonus) and I got PLENTY full! Melanie kept coming out to check on us and even took the time to suggest and bring out samples of different sauces for my husband to try on his chicken. He was smitten with the curry-type gravy one and said he was totally ordering that next time - and there WILL be a next time! I loved the peas & rice, the veggie patty (spicy!), and the cabbage and plantains from the hubs plate. I used some of the sauces over my peas & rice and it was even better. We also enjoyed the fried dumplings - even dry! I must mention that the staff were all great, but Melanie made our meal exponentially better with her friendly demeanor, spot-on suggestions, and ability to deal with the quirkiness of my husband. We WILL be back! read more

One star because the food was at least half decent. Service was absolutely terrible!! Came in on a Saturday night because there was a live reggae band. Walked in to the bar area No greeting. Finally got the attention of the " bartender" ordered our food and drinks at the same time. The food arrived before our drinks ever did...I was expecting some sort of professionalism. I had to ask 4 times for some ice water, since my meal was spicy.that should've been the first thing I received. I had to ask for silverware. We had to remind them that we ordered things to be prepared a certain way, it was across the board horrible. The server, just gave up on serving us. We ended up with the manager and he was equally disappointing. He wasn't rude like the server/bartender but just not up to par, whatsoever. I will never patronize this business again. read more

Reader, this restaurant is a slice of the Caribbean that Indianapolis needs. The food is amazing, the curry goat, rice and peas and all the food are amazing. The staff at this location are always friendly and willing to discuss the menu. Great atmosphere. 10 of 10 read more

Great food! Great variety. The counter service was friendly and fast. I recommend it.

Have you ever had a real desire for a particular dish, but the drive was deterrent as it meant fighting traffic on a busy day from one end of town to the other...WELL for me, since this was how it was for good Jamaican food on the northeast side of town. If my soul was crying for some good grilled jerk chicken it meant either fighting the traffic in Carmel or trudging 20-30 min to the northwest side of town. But alas Jamaican Breeze blew into town and saved me from my hunger. Jamaican Breeze is a beautifully decorated Jamaican restaurant and bar that recently opened on the NE side of town by the fairgrounds. Its interior boasts beautiful paintings invoking the feelings and colors of Jamaica. It has a long bar for those Sunday and Monday night football games as well as a clean and spacious dining area for you and your friends and family. Service was very quick despite the long lines. Two meals ordered took less than 15 minutes to receive our food and the staff was polite and fun to order from. But nevermind all that...THE FOOOD...IT WAS DIVINE! Today we ordered jerk chicken and oxtail. Both dinner platters came with a huge serving of beans and rice as well as cabbage and some plantains. The rice and beans was good. I would've like more cabbage. What I could taste of the cabbage, I was pleased, however the amount of cabbage was tiny compared to the rice and beans. The jerk chicken was tender and the meat fell off the bone. Its "hot" was more American hot versus Jamaican hot..I could've stood for more sauce (which was available for purchase) and more heat. The oxtail was definitely meaty, with a hit of fat here and there, but nothing that would've taken away from the meal. We grabbed a drink from the cooler, which had plenty of options of traditional soda's from Jamaica (just watch the sugar content) as well as some coco bread....which was my first taste of coco bread and I was impressed. Overall the only thing this spot is missing is outdoor seating...cause this is the "spot"!! read more

These people are genuine, happy and want to show off their culture. I was blown away by the service I received at the bar and the great conversation I had with Melanie. I appreciated the explanation I received from the worker when ordering. It was helpful to get a description of the food before I committed. I was expecting more chicken with my meal because of the previous reviews but honestly I do not think they provided much protein in the entree plate. The jerk chicken meal was 7.95, and it was a very large serving of rice; however, the cabbage and chicken were both very small portions. The chicken had an AMAZING flavor and I would pay a dollar or two more to have more chicken. Tips: you can sit and order your meal at the bar instead of ordering with the cashier. The beers are an average of 4.25 per drink and they have red stripe, modello, blue moon and miller lite. This is a must if you like culture and trying new food! read more

Wow! Loved everything about Jamaican Breeze! We made last minute plans to taste test rum cocktails with our neighbors on a Monday night. To stay on theme I decided to order takeout from Jamaican Breeze. We all got variations of jerk chicken and ribs, meals, and the jerk Mac and cheese and a patty to try. The inside is so bright and colorful and lively. Everyone was so friendly, and the owner even offered us drinks while we waited (which wasn't long at all). When we got home the food was hot and SO GOOD. I got the half jerk chicken but would probably go with the quarter next time, as the portions are huge. My bite of the night was the jerk Mac and cheese - so unexpected and the perfect amount of heat! Can't wait to go back and eat at the bar next time. Will definitely be part of the regular rotation. Closed on Tuesdays. read more

Went to grab some BBQ from King Ribs on a Sunday but they we're crazy busy. Saw this place across the street, saw it got good reviews and went for it. Very friendly staff. I had a quarter chicken dark jerk. My wife had the pot roast. The chicken was some of the best jerk I've had. It was so juicy and the flavors came through as they should. Wish it would be a little hotter, it was delicious nonetheless. Wife enjoyed the pot roast, but not as much as I did my chicken. We'll be back! And bring a jacket as it's cold inside. read more

So I have passed by so many times and I wanted to go in. This Sunday on the recommendation of Google, we tried it. Absolutely delicious and fun! Great choices, from veggie to beef, chicken oxtail and goat. Curry and jerk flavors, fish and SO much more! Good portions, great presentation and affordable, plus the atmosphere makes you feel like you are in Jamaica right now enjoying an authentic meal on the beach. read more

OMG! Food is delicious! I can't wait to try more dishes! I have the Jamaican jerk wings and it was amazing! Highly recommend

This is it. Finally, I found a great Jamaican spot in Indianapolis! The food across the menu is delicious! My first time here I ordered the Oxtail with an additional side of Mac and cheese and a beef patty. My dad ordered the Jerk Chicken (Quarter White) with mild sauce and Coco Bread. My wife ordered the Jerk Chicken (Quarter Dark) with hot sauce. The Oxtail was as advertised! The meat fell off the bone and was seasoned perfectly. I tried my wife's Jerk Chicken and it was delicious. The sauces for the Jerk Chicken were served on the side, which I am not a huge fan of. If I ordered it again I would request that they served the chicken with the sauce on top. In addition, the hot sauce that my wife ordered was not spicy at all. The rice and peas are typical for a Jamaican joint. The cabbage was cooked perfectly and I wish they provided more than a garnish. Same with the plantains - great flavor and not overcooked. Finally, I thought I was going to be disappointed at first glance at the mac and cheese. That was not the case. It is very cheesy. It is even better when mixed with the Jerk Chicken sauce. They provide very generous portion sizes, especially for the Oxtail, which is not always the case at other Jamaican restaurants. The entrees all come with rice and peas and a "garnish" of cabbage and plantains. My only wish is that they would allow you to substitute the rice and peas, cabbage and/or plantains. I asked to sub out the rice and peas for Mac and cheese and was told I could not do that. This is the first Jamaican spot that I have been to anywhere that has a set menu for the sides. I came here during the COVID-19 pandemic, so I could not dine in. However, the service that I received at the counter was very friendly. They had about 10 customers standing in line at any point while I was ordering/waiting on my order. They do a great job of getting you in and out. They also offer call ahead ordering, which is great to just come in and pick up your food to avoid any lines. read more

If I was basing this review on taste alone I'd have to give 5 stars. The food tastes AMAZING! Very flavorful and seasoned just right. Probably the best in Jamaican flavor I've had in the city so far. However, the portions are extremely small!! I wasn't full and neither was my husband. It's like a half size portion. read more

Jamaican Breeze - Curry goat - Caribbean Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We visited Jamaican Breeze yesterday and had a great overall experience. They had vegetarian options for my hubby, baby-friendly food options (our 1-year-old devoured the mac and cheese) and they were great about gluten-free options for me. When you arrive, you can grab a menu and a table or order straight away. Either way you order at the counter (my sense is that most of the steady stream of patrons were regulars, as were our friends who'd suggested we meet there). Overall the place has a really laid-back vibe, and the staff are super friendly. The best part tho? The food! My steamed fish was SO good, and the rice and beans/cabbage on the side were plentiful. I had a full meal leftover for my Monday lunch. Definitely will go back to Jamaican Breeze. It's a little island oasis in the middle of Indy, with a chill vibe and fantastic food! read more

I really enjoyed my dinner here. My wife and I came here on a Friday night for dinner, and sat up at the bar. The music was great, and there was a DJ that started playing reggae as the night went on. It was very loud, but overall did not bother me. I started with a Red Stripe (on draft!) and went with the jerk chicken plate and beef patty. The jerk chicken was out of this world good, and I got the hot jerk sauce on the side. It wasn't too spicy, with a great amount of flavor. The beans and rice were delicious, and the beef patty was equally good. Overall, this place was great, and I cannot wait to come back. read more
