This restaurant has been in this area for over 30+ years and when I say it pretty much still looks the same not much of any upgrading. I'm not sure if it is the same owner, but I was in the area. Wanted to try it to see if it was still as good as it was Back In The Day. Parking is street parking and it could be very hard if it's a busy day. They have an ATM machine they do not take cards so bring cash. I got the oxtails and I got a large cornmeal porridge. The oxtails were OK. I really just wasn't tasting the oxtail taste and they were kinda tender; not as tender as I would have liked them to be. Overall, I wasn't impressed. I feel like it didn't taste as good as it did Back In The Day. I did enjoy the porridge because not many Jamaican restaurants offer it outside of morning time. if I am in the area, I will go back and maybe try something else but I definitely will be getting the porridge. It was really good and sweet. read more

I was craving that Carribean style oxtails peas and rice today. This means an automatic trip to Philly today! This spot is located in the hood. If you aren't familiar or comfortable with the hood then I advise that you go during daylight. I went during the late afternoon 12/21/2024. The decor is basic not fancy. There was no greeting no smiles. They come across unfriendly, but maybe it's because it snowed yesterday. They weren't mean just take your order and money, you get your food and go. I ordered a side of mac n cheese. It was on the dry side, not creamy like I'm used to eating. It had black pepper and a few flakes of shredded cheese. It was ok but would not order this again. Now for what Brought me to Philly, THE OXTAILS! They were tender and plenty of gravy but the Carribean flavor was missing. That flavor is the habanero. read more

First time timing and my honest opinion it was okay. Not that many oxtails and the rice tastes like it was scraped from the bottom. My boyfriend had jerk chicken no picture but that was really good. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Our cabbage was okay. We both got the homemade watermelon juice which was refreshing. I would definitely go back but just for the jerk chicken or maybe curry chicken. read more

This Jamacian place is an absolute gem. We got the Curry Chicken over Cabbage and White Rice and Jerk Chicken with Greens & Rice. All flavors were amazing. They sell out of plantains fast. & The watermelon Juice is super fresh!! The service was great. They are very attentive to what you would want. The location can be very intimidating especially if you go at night but it's worth it. Go support and check them out for yourself! read more

Great little place with great tasting food. The service was quick and attentive. Drove a distance to try them and I will be back.

Authentic flavor and generous portions. Not the best Jamaican food I ever had, but would I order from little delicious again, sure. The sides were my favorite! I ordered the red peas and rice, and collard greens. The curry chicken was good as well, good flavor and decent spice. The jerk chicken however didn't do it for me. A lot of bones and not enough spice. Tasted more like brown stew chicken than jerk chicken. The beef patty was pretty basic, but tasted like the frozen kind. read more

Little Delicious is just as the name implies, except I wouldn't describe the portions as "little" in the slightest. I came here with some colleagues for lunch on a weekday and it absolutely hit the spot. The interior is a nice space where you order food at the counter in the back and either take food to go or sit in the dining booths. The jerk chicken (wet-style) was expertly cooked and had great flavor. My favorite part of the dish was the amazing sides. We tried the rice & beans, plantains, and collard greens - all were fantastic, especially the plantains. The small platter size with a side is plenty of food for lunch and I'll probably be having some for dinner as well. I saw they had Mac & Cheese on the menu but looks like they've only got it on Fridays and weekends so we'll have to come back. The entire staff was very friendly and helpful. Really wonderful people. read more

The food is the best Jamaican food in Philly and they don't hold back on the amount in your container

I have eaten from Little Delicious many, many times over the last 10 years. The food is always fresh and delicious. The service is always good. It is rare to arrive and not have a line to order. I would absolutely recommend as a great local Caribbean spot. The only negative could be that they are cash only. read more

I love eating in or carrying out me and my granddaughter love to eat in this restaurant well done keep up the good work

I would have never known about this business had it not been suggested by a co worker, it's a non descript building on a very busy street and the food is DELICIOUS. I ordered a large platter of oxtails, cabbage , rice and peas and a side order of plantains. I would say 55% of the platter was rice and peas, 35% of the platter was cabbage and 10% was oxtails. The portion distribution was a bit upsetting but the food was quite tasty. I've seen Yelp photos of this business' oxtail platters , my platter today seemed to be the exception from the norm read more

Little Delicious - Curry goat, rice & peas and greens - Caribbean Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Tried Little Delicious and found the food lacking in flavour. We had platters of Jerk Chicken and Oxtails, served with rice & peas, dumplings, and cabbage. Jerk Chicken was overcooked & a bit stringy. Jerk was also not very tasty -- I like my jerk spicy and flavourful, but this tasted bland and flat. Oxtails were similarly flavoured and lacked the deep stewy flavour I'd expect. Disappointingly, we weren't given a choice in the sides that came with the platter. The boiled and fried dumplings were rather hard, like they had been sitting out too long & dried out. Rice was so-so & tasted a bit stale to me. Cabbage was nicely stewed to tenderness -- it was the best part of the meal. Portions were very large. 2 platters cost $20. read more

Remembering the first time my brother brought home a platter of spicy chicken and beans and rice, later find out it is call the Jerk Chicken. That was 15 years ago, since then we buy Jerk Chicken at least once a week until we move to northeast. Seeing the price raise from $7, $9, to $11 now, I'm getting old. I'm not a big fan of Caribbean cuisines but am a FAN of Little Delicious. The dark meat chicken taste juicy and spicy, while the white meat pieces are a little dry, but with extra sauce(stew chicken sauce), it taste as good as the dark meats. Also love their beans and rice and vegetables. I always stop by and grab a platter every time I'm in the area. read more

This place gives you a ridiculous amount of food for the price. We decided to get a small platter of beef stew + small platter of jerk chicken so we could try both. Um.. seriously, we could have SHARED a small platter (whcih begs the question of how fucking big must their LARGE portions be...) The flavors were so good. Best beans and rice I've had. The spices were just right, the meat was so tender, the chicken just fell off the bone. Next time I'm craving, this is the only spot I'll be going to Note: I guess not everyone would be comfortable in this area -- but I found the employees to be very nice. You may feel outta place.. but imo, I LOVE hole in the walls! read more

food is yummy! the folks there are very kind & its smells delicious from the door! a heavenly scent of incense and food spices its like im home read more

I love hole in the wall restaurants and risked my life to come here on Memorial day weekend (jk, but the neighborhood is seedy)! I was disappointed to find that the food here wasn't very good. The jerk chicken just tasted like plain baked chicken smothered in some teriyaki tasting jerk sauce. It reminded me of runny beef jerky, not the flavor I was going for. I've had excellent jerk chicken in the past and it's always been fall off the bone, whole chicken parts that are well marinated. Here it's chopped up dry pieces of tasteless chicken. Also tried the curry goat and it wasn't as bad as the jerk chicken but not the best either. Portion size also smaller than what I'm used to. Ordered a smoothie and they weren't bad but it was real sweet. The establishment looks dingy and rundown but it's quaint and has seating in there. The owner was very nice. I just wish the food was better. It was only a little delicious. =/ read more

i love the food and i have been a loyal customer since the 1980's big shout out for excellent customer service

Might look a little sketchy from the outside and inside. They may be cash only as well. But the food is definitely worth it. Super good food and worth the money. Stuffed like a damn pig. read more

I really enjoyed the lamb soup I purchased yesterday. I will be back.

First choice when it comes to Jamaican food in Philly! Their food is full of flavor, plenty of options and large portions for a reasonable price. As I told one commenter, this place grew in popularity over the years (in business for a little under or over 20yrs.) and as a result, they cook in very large quantities (i.e. the big ol pot in 1 of the pics) so sometimes they miss the mark on flavor on certain dishes. The place is very dated and I think, Caribbean people, older (50s n up) folks, hipsters and neo soul types can appreciate dinning in but for me, take out it is! They have a sister location further down on 6051 Woodland Ave. (right next to the Pete's Pizza) which is much smaller and less known so their food is VERY consistent in the flavor dept. (for now). If you want REAL JA food go to either location for take out and I PROMISE you won't be disappointed! read more

The spot is a hole in the wall but the food passes. I am new to Philly so I don't have much to compare it to out here but coming from Brooklyn, I've eaten a lot and this can get the job done. I had a hefty serving of oxtail with rice and peas and collard greens. When I say hefty, the portion size was well worth the dollars. I also had Ackee and salt fish with dumplings and banana. It was pretty good and the small was also a good amount of food as well. Definitely not stingy with their hand here. The place is kind of a hole in the wall easy to miss spot but once inside, they do have a few seats if you intend to stay. There's also a juice bar in the front so you can get a nice drink as well. All in all, it's a little out of my way to go to. If I'm on that side of town, I'd stop back. read more

This establishment is a Jamacian ressie! I ordered the Jamacian chicken (large) platter. Big tip, SKIP ordering the beans n rice as a side, unless u really love rice. They put the rice in the biggest portion of the container, which gives you the small one for your next choice of side. Overall, good flavor but I've had better. My friend liked the ackee fish so maybe next time I'll go for the fish or goat! Cash Only!! read more
