    The Chicago-Evanston border has long been home to much of the North Side’s Jamaican cuisine. Among the tried-and-true, we like this tranquil ocean-blue dining room. Read more

    Jerk chicken is deliciously seasoned but far from spicy, so speak up if you’d like more heat. Don’t skip dessert—coconut carrot cake and Grape Nuts ice cream are knockouts. Read more

    The Chef makes GREAT pastries & desserts. If you can even fit it in after a big jerk special, try the desserts too! You'll be pleasantly surprised. Aside from that, their jerk is the best around!

    This place is a wonderful hidden gem. The food is amazing, service is very good and the prices a great the the portions you get. The curried goat is my personal favorite.

    The restaurant itself is a bit plain, but the food is amazing. AND, according to jamaicans.com, it is authentic.

    The jerk chicken is amazing- it's mild in spice and so tender that it falls off the bone.

    Too bad it is located on Howard ... Any other location and this place would be hoping. Owners are amazing cooks and the rum cake is to die for.
