Fried Medium Red Snapper with rice and beans and sautéed cabbage
Tanya A.

Our favorite restaurant for fried red snapper was closed. Thank goodness this restaurant was open for carry out on Christmas Eve. The price was okay. The food looked and tasted good. It just didn't taste like authentic Jamaican food. Not having to cook, priceless!

I keep going back to this place for some reason.... Oh yeah it's because the food is good. Also it clean the staff if nice they have a good lunch special, and the venue chill. I recommend you go and enjoy so good food.

This is a fairly new, just open Caribbean restaurant on south Semoran in Orlando. The food is really good. If your in the mood for good Caribbean food this the spot. I went right after they open on a Monday, perfect timing. No line Monday's! The food was hot and very flavorful. Great selection of drinks from shandy to ting and too many more to name. It's a very clean establishment from what I experience. We ate there for lunch and the staff was very accommodating. I'm telling you, you won't be disappointed.

Can't say it's fully authentic. It seems that there's a mix influence of this dish. I ordered the curry chicken with dahl pouri roti and one soda can. The curry was only on the outside of the chicken. You have to break it up and mix it so you're not gonna get the deep flavor. Curryford South slightly blend, but still very tasteful not very mad at it. He gets the job done the roti a very impressed with 100% legit! I paid $17 for everything definitely over paid you can't ear every day after work. I called one time and spoke to a guy. He told me it was only gonna be 12 $13. So I definitely got played which doesn't sit well with me. They don't tell you prices while you're ordering or what comes inside the Curry unless you ask. There's no white meat with a Curry just whole pieces of thigh and leg. It's debatable if I go back but if I do is definitely for the roti! I'm half Guyanese so you know I know the deal. I also know very good Jamaican curry as well Trust me I'm not being one-sided.

I tried this place through uber eats and now I can't wait to try it in person. The wait was long…read morebut it was well worth it. I got so much for the price I paid. the chicken was amazing!! Honestly everything was goooooood I just wish there were more plantains, that's my only complaint. It was so much food it took me 2 days to eat it! Like wow. This is my new favorite Jamaican spot!! Definitely recommend!!!!

I stopped in for a quick snack and ordered a mild beef patty with coco bread…read more Service: 5/5 - The staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and my order came out quickly. No complaints there at all. Beef Patty: 2/5 - The seasoning was actually pretty good, so the flavor was there. Unfortunately, the patty itself was very dry and had much less beef filling than I expected. I kept hoping for a better bite, but it never really happened. Coco Bread: 1/5 - It was served warm, which was nice, but it was also quite dry. I was expecting the soft, buttery, slightly sweet coco bread that's perfect for pairing with a patty. This one missed the mark for me. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible thanks to the excellent customer service, but the food just didn't live up to what I expect from a Jamaican restaurant. There are enough great Jamaican spots around Orlando, that I probably wouldn't make a return trip here. I was rushing on my break or I would've taken a photo.

Sherry's Trini Flavors had me feeling like I accidentally stepped through a secret Caribbean…read morewormhole and landed somewhere between Port of Spain and a gas station parking lot in Florida. The giant NOW OPEN banner was flapping like it personally invited me, and the storefront painted in bold Trinidad flag colors looked ready to hand out citizenship papers with every order. I walked in thinking I'd grab a quick bite. Rookie mistake, one look at the doubles and suddenly I'm ordering five. Then I'm calling my aunt and cousin like it's a family emergency: "Allyuh want doubles? Because these looking SERIOUS." Next thing you know, I'm walking out with ten doubles like I'm catering a small festival. And let me tell you, these doubles? Soft bara, perfectly seasoned channa, pepper and tamarind sauce hugging everything like a warm Caribbean auntie. I've basically been on a doubles‑only diet since, and honestly, I feel spiritually aligned. I even ate one cold from the fridge and it still slapped. That's when you know it's real. Then there's the boneless curry chicken with buss‑up‑shut. Pure comfort. The kind of meal that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. The potatoes were soft enough to spread on a cracker, the channa was rich and earthy, and the chicken tasted like somebody's grandmother was in the back whispering, "Put a lil' more seasoning, nah." The buss‑up‑shut was fluffy, torn, and ready to scoop up every drop of curry like it had a mission. And the pepper sauce? Flavorful. Respectful. Not trying to fight me or send me to the ER. A rare and beautiful thing. The place is clean, the parking is plentiful, and the staff has real Trini accents that instantly make everything feel more authentic. Even the way they say "Next!" has rhythm. Next time, I'm calling ahead for dhal phourie, because clearly this place does not miss and I'm not risking it selling out. If you see me there again, mind your business! I'm probably ordering another ten doubles and living my best life.

Since moving from New York to Florida, I've been on a serious mission trying to find good Trini…read morefood, because anybody who knows knows not every place serving roti is actually serving roti. I happened to find Sherry's Trini while I was in Orlando for an exam and decided to give it a try. I ordered the potato and channa roti with pepper sauce on the side. The potato and channa was yum, well-seasoned. The pepper sauce was everything I needed. Now for the roti itself. If you're accustomed to a good dhalpuri or buss up shut, this one might leave you wanting a little more. It wasn't bad, but it lacked that soft, delicate, flaky texture. The filling was carrying the meal more than the roti did. Overall though, I appreciated finally finding a place in Florida serving Trini food that actually tastes like somebody put some love into it. It's hard to come by down here. While the roti wasn't exactly what I was hoping for, the potato and channa definitely satisfied the craving and I'd still come back to get some other fixes.

Big up to all my Haitians. I love finding my people wherever I go. I was visiting from out of town…read moreand had to stop by to give the place a try. I'm so glad I did. The restaurant was dimly lit with Haitian music playing. Adequate seating for parties of all sizes. I came with three others and we were seated promptly. I ordered the griot tapas for my appetizer. For my entree I ordered the turkey tassot with rice and beans. It came with plantains and pikliz as well. For my drink had to keep it Haitian with a Cola Couronne. Everything was made to order and came out fresh and hot. My eyes was bigger than my belly that night but I had to indulge. Ten out of ten definitely recommend.

This was, without question, the worst customer service I've ever experienced…read more I came in expecting to dine in, but from the moment I walked through the door, no one acknowledged or greeted me. Instead, employees simply stared while I stood there waiting. After several moments, I was finally told I could sit anywhere. After another long wait, a waitress walked over, dropped a menu on the table, and walked away without introducing herself or even asking if I'd like something to drink. When she returned, I let her know we were ready to order, and she simply said she'd be back. At the time, there was only one table dining in and two customers waiting on takeout orders, so the restaurant was far from busy. After waiting 20 minutes without anyone returning to take our order, we decided to leave. The food isn't the issue--in fact, it's the reason I drove across town and paid tolls to eat here. Unfortunately, great food can't make up for nonexistent customer service. If management doesn't prioritize hiring and training staff who understand the basics of hospitality, this business won't keep customers coming back. As a fellow Haitian, this experience was especially disappointing. I genuinely wanted to support this business, but the complete lack of customer service made that impossible.

It's Easter Friday so I was craving carrot cake. This was place was a bonus to order from since…read morethey also offered regular food that I could get dinner with my dessert. Plus, they were on Uber Eats and I didn't feel like going out. Ordered my usual Jamaican dish - brown stew chicken with rice and peas and vegetables. Started out with the carrot cake - 10/10. Cake was moist, cream cheese icing was creamy and not too sweet, a good amount of carrots in the cake, a big portion sliced in half for sharing, and an affordable price. Brown stew chicken - 5/10. Ok flavor, but the chicken was kind of dry. I would have liked extra gravy but was unable to make that special request. Rice and peas - 10/10. Rice was good, nice hint of coconut milk, peas cooked perfectly. Veggies - 2/10. Bland AF. Everything except for the cabbage tastes like it came from a can. Plantain - 2/10. Bland, kinda dry. Would only order from here again for the carrot cake.

We stopped in on a weekend morning for breakfast. We ordered the Ackee and Saltfish breakfast meal…read morewhich came with a choice of boiled or fried dumplings. We also got the Pineapple Ginger Juice. The staff was friendly. I paid with a card so I was charged a 3% convenience fee which for our order totaled an additional $2. The wait for the food and drinks was short and we received all items in a reasonable time. The food was flavorful. The Saltfish is mixed with the Ackee and was minimal in portion size. The best item was the Fried Dumplings. They were fresh and cooked perfectly. The Pineapple Ginger Juice is a favorite. It's refreshing whether it's served bottled or from the fountain. The juice has a good balance of the pineapple and ginger flavors.

It was not overly spicy, and I was able to add my own spice level to it on the side. I got the cook up rice with chicken. It was not overly salty or heavily seasoned, which was nice because you got to enjoy the flavors of the coconut milk in the rice and all of the seasonings. It was not greasy as well. I enjoyed the meal. The ambience was very nice. They had music playing, felt like I was in New York and the workers were really nice. They greeted me and all the other customers and made sure we got what we needed. The line does get a little backed up so if you're in a rush maybe come back when you have a little bit more time. Overall, it was a great experience and I would definitely come back here again. everything was fresh. It was super clean and definitely a place to bring your family and friends for good food. The owner was also there she was walking around interacting with the customers as well. She's was very friendly and would highly recommend giving this place a try.

Ordered jerk chicken off of DoorDash. I choose the sides plantains and fries (originally wanted…read morepotatoe salad but they were out ) . The food was good fries was seasoned but just slightly too salty for me . The chicken was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I do wish it came with more sauce/gravy so next time I will remember to request for extra. The food was excellent and the portions are worth the price. They did not mess up my order which was great. When I arrived to pick up my order, inside was full of tables set up for people to dine in and the person in the front greeted me with a warm smile. Definitely would return back .

Wow these portions!…read more What Ofcourse I got the 2 signature meals. The jerk chicken and also the fried chicken with honey. The jerk chicken, I got with rice and peas, mixed veggies and cabbage. The cabbage was a little strange to me- not as I imagined from Jamaica steamed cabbage. The mixed veggies were also basic - like boiled frozen mixed veggies. The rice and peas were overall good but tasted a little on the hard side. The chicken though! This was the highlight - it was very flavorful, though I wish I would be able to have the sauce on the side.. For the fried chicken meal - the fried chicken was nice and hot. I got this to-go and was worried it would get soggy but it still tasted great when I got home. Environment This is located in a plaza tucked away near the corner. It seems to be a more takeout restaurant. There is some seats inside for your to enjoy the food. Since it is in a plaza, there is plenty of parking available, but in front of the restaurant could be a bit tricky. Niceness of the staff I would say she was not on the nice side. No one greeted me upon entering also they seemed preoccupied and did not once gave eye-contact. Definitely not friendly.. but nonetheless I got my food. Dollar It is like the bang for your buck. I ordered via UnderEats and there are deals, it was very reasonable as you get 2 leg quarters! Yes I would definitely order takeout again

I came back just to get the fish again because it is the absolute best!! Needless to say I didn't eat anything. The band is on point and my friend's Long Island Iced Tea was perfect. The hostess (in the picture) was very accommodating and beautiful. This is all I can comment on this visit as I unfortunately couldn't eat dinner. I was forced to sit here and watch everyone around me eat.

The menu read great and we were excited to try this place since we love Jamaican Food. Was not easy to make a reservation - had to call Universal main line and choose from options. However, once we got a person, the reservation process was easy and pleasant. We informed the person taking the reservation that this was our first time visiting the restaurant so we expected a nice table - I assume they want repeat business. But instead we were seated right in front of the live band and it was so loud, we couldn't talk at all. The funny thing was that the restaurant was barely half full! Our waiter also had a tough time hearing us so we had to corret our orders a couple of times. They ran out of beef patties:-( that day. We decide to order some appetizers and a couple of entrees and shared. We had the Buffalo Soldier Jerk Wings - Had a nice spice to it and was quite delicious. We also hd the Jerk Caulifolower bites - a little sweet and spicy sauce and we all agreed this was the best dish we had! We had the Curried Goat stew - a weak curry and did not really have any spice to it. The Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken had a sweet spice and sticky sauce - next best dish we had. We also ordered the Coco bread- which was disappointing andd I do not recommend. It was just bread with some butter in it and definitely overpriced for what you got! Cocktails were rather weak. Server was just OK. He wasn't very attentive and did nothing to make our visit great.
