    Burnt jerk chicken

    Food is not that good if you're used to West Indian food for a Minnesotan it's top tier I told the server my chicken looked dry and when I got home and cut into it very dry inside I didn't enjoy it at all I prefer Nanny's on Rice street in St. Paul

    Jerk Chicken dinner with extra sauce and beef patty

    There's not many Jamaican options in the twin cities but this for sure is the best Jamaican restaurant in the state. The place was very clean and the customer service was amazing. The young man was very jelly and polite. I went with the jerk chicken dinner and some beef patties. The sauce is a bbq jerk sauce which to me was heaven lol I wish I tried the sauce before leaving and now see why they sell whole bottles to go. I will definitely will be back and look forward to trying everything else on the menu. I highly recommend this place for amazing food and service

    Winner, winner! Jerk chicken, rice and beans, and slaw spot on! SPOT ON!! Beef patty was great, flaky and meaty. Brown stew chicken had a lot of fall spices and was right on the edge of too much for me and still I ate it! She also makes her own jerk sauce which is jerk, bbq flavor. Yum. Nadia was super kind and fun. Her son evem came in and brought flowers for mothers Day and gave me one.

    Heard about Nadia's Jamaican Kitchen form an acquaintance. It's reputation definitely proceeds them! It did not disappoint. Took my mentee for dinner, it was bomb. Ambiance 5/5 Located on the corner of a shopping area. It's replaced the $5 pizza spot. General seating is good. 2 booths and side tables that seat 2, very clean, faux trees, tantalizing smells and great atmosphere. Caribbean music, Bob Marley of course. Open kitchen family feel with bar to seating to watch your food being prepared. Service 5/5 Very friendly, prompt, courteous and helpful service. Nadia herself inquired about the food and did it meet our expectations. It did!!! Food 5/5 Not cheap but worth it. We ordered Oxtails, red peas and rice, coleslaw $28 Jamaican Patty $5 Jerk Chicken $14 Rice and peas $5 drinks: $15 Overall 5/5 and would come back!

    Service - excellent! So much so that we expected the food to be nasty. (IYKYK) The owner and the young men working with her (I do believe they were her grandsons) were all very pleasant, helpful, and accommodating. Rice and peas with mixed veggies entree- I always taste the rice alone first to judge the overall cooking skills. The rice made with coconut milk, definitely passed the test! It was so much food that I had enough for 2 or 3 days. And let me tell you, it tasted even better as leftovers, after the sauces and seasonings settled and soaked in. Yum! I added some jerk sauce and their Indian hot pepper sauce (Good, but whew!! Not for the weak!! lol) On Tuesdays they have specials. We tried the chips and guacamole. I wasn't expecting the chips to be homemade. They were positively delicious! Festival was good too, and the owners says they're vegan-friendly. Rasta pasta is also vegan, but it's only available on Friday and Saturday. I definitely want to try that the next time I'm in town.

    Being from the Caribbean, I can proudly say that Nadia's is worth every penny! This food reminds me so much of home just due to all the love that goes into it. Everything is seasoned to the bone and I can't get enough of it. The portions are huge, enough to share between two people and I love the open kitchen concept. Being able to see your food being made is such an added benefit that makes you feel apart of the cooking experience. I love how the owner and head chef will stop by each table and chat with her customers. They have seasonal soups and those are so well made that I usually order seconds to go. The jerk chicken wings are so yummy that I can't make an order without them. Curry chicken is prepared with chicken with chicken thighs and I think it brings out the curry flavor tremendously. The curry goat is also to die for because the meat is so soft and goes well with the curry seasoning. The brown stew chicken is also good and I urge everyone to try it :)

    Lovely Jamaican food for Minnesotan taste. Stopped by here with my friend to check out some Caribbean flair to brighten up our outlook for Spring. While there are tables and they do have plates and silverware, it seems more of a takeaway operation. Overall the food is delightful, but subdued in spice/ heat than was expecting. The lady running the joint was friendly and nice, seems like she's teaching her kids some good work ethic with running a business. Jerk Chicken: the sweetness really pops out. There's a background flavor that I always forget the name that's pretty strong and captured my attention. The meat is tender and succulent. Curried goat: also meaty and tender. Bone in to capture that flavor. The spices cover up the gamey taste. Sauce was lovely, definitely my favorite of the 2. Rice and Peas was a bit... dry in places. Flavor was good, but definitely needed to drown it in the gravy to maintain overall consistency. Side of cooked cabbage and veggies is a given and always a welcome source of crunch and fiber to accompany the meal. Overall : good portions, lovely flavors, and a friendly smile to enjoy your meal.

    After driving by for a couple of weeks we decided it was about time we pop in and try out the new Jamaican Restaurantthat recent opened here in Brooklyn Park off Noble. It must be amazing because Red Beans and Rice already sold out and we stopped in right at 5pm. Its a must have next time we go back beccaaauuusseee we will be back to try all the things. Serving Sizes are plenty for one person and leftovers! Nate and I both got the same thing Jerk Chicken Plate with rice and coleslaw. Plus you get a size of the sauce which is AMAZING!!! Not pictured is the Jamican Beef Patties because we ate them... hahahahah! Stop in! Try them out! Go Back and Eat allll the good things that is coming out of this new little gem off Noble!

    Whole red snapper

    Service is always great. First time we came in Nadia sat and chatted with us and we got to sample extra things. Have liked everything we've tried so far, can't pick a favorite. This time was the beef patty with red beans and rice on the side. Yummy and generous servings.

    Loved our lunch at Brasa! Not only is this place pretty healthy and does great with dietary…read morerestrictions, but the food does taste really, really good. I split a chicken plate and the vegan bowl (plus a side of yuca) with my partner. I can't eat dairy, and it was easy finding items that fit my needs. The vegan bowl was to die for, I loved the mix of curry and pineapple (the best fruit, BTW), it all came together so well. The chicken plate as good too, especially the plantains, the rice and beans, and the sauce. The fried yuca was great too! Our server was great, super attentive. Prices are mid-range, it's not cheap, but the food is worth it. They have a small patio and a larger indoor dining room. All in all, a great spot in NE Minneapolis!

We sat outside on the patio and it had great ambiance with multi-colored string lights overhead. I had the chicken in gravy and he had the catfish sandwich and they were both phenomenal. We also had a side of grits which were great too. The server was very friendly and answered all of our questions. You are supposed to order on the QR code outside which is the only thing I would change because I think it's much quicker and easier to just order with your server. It took more of his time for me to order using the QR code because I had to ask him several questions about how to do it. But aside from that I loved this restaurant and will definitely be back soon!

Her voice was loud and ruining the vibes. They rudely made me and my baby stand up from our table while eating to access storage underneath our booth... to actually find out it was empty. It was honestly such a bizarre experience and it was only our first time eating there, trying to support local restaurants. The food and our waitress was great, just an overall poor vibe from the having to stand up in the middle of eating was straight up speechless, never experienced such blindness to customer service. It already difficult enough dining with a baby but the owner honestly made us feel unwanted.

Parking was easy on the lot behind the building, next to the Big White House. The building must be having renovations as there was scaffolding all around it, with a main staircase entryway covered to protect people from things falling. We walked in and I was impressed by the look of the entryway. Rich architecture history from the old post office. We waited for a hostess to either take our name or bring us to a table but no one ever came. There was 2 women with 2 kids sat at a low table in the entryway, near the bathroom. And I could see the dining room filled with families with little kids. I observed that no one was eating but had water glasses filled. I saw a little boy (4yo??) walk out of the dining room, across the front entrance behind the hostess table and down an empty corridor.... no adult?? And then I watched one of the women at the low top table get up, walk down that same empty corridor and come back a few moments later a little perturbed. She muttered something to her table mate that piqued my interest. After seeing their empty water glasses and milk cups (kids), I asked if THEY had been served yet. The other lady said they had been waiting for over an hour. Everything was starting to add up. No one was eating. We hadn't been greeted after standing there for about 10 mins. I never saw any waitstaff either. Nope, not gonna do that. And we walked out. Maybe I'll try again, maybe I won't. Time will tell.

Their food is a take on Jamaican and Asian fusion, which lends itself some nice options, but I wouldn't describe any of it to be "fine dining." There isn't anything wrong with this, but it just feels a bit odd in the setting. For our meal, we started with the Egg Rolls, which blended a traditional Asian dish with Jamaican Jerk Chicken. They were solid. For mains, we tried the Red Snapper and Red Curry. Both were good, but not spectacular. In particular, the red curry was a bit overpriced - I've had better takes with heartier portions for less than half the price elsewhere in the metro. The Snapper was a good blend, and quite the surprise in a positive way! Very cool venue, decent food options, and a speakeasy beneath that make this a solid 3.5 star. Worth a try, just know it's not really "fine dining" IMO.
