Jamaica Mi Hungry - Allston

The food is truly amazing! The curry goat and sweet plantains were incredible, and I can’t wait to try more dishes from this place. The staff are friendly and attentive, creating a wonderful atmosphere. The food and music capture all the Jamaican vibes, and I absolutely love it. The restaurant is very clean, conveniently located, and there’s plenty of parking available. Be sure to check out the before and after pictures of my plate!

The restaurant opened late, leaving people waiting outside. It seemed like there was only one server who also took on the roles of cashier and cook, which created a chaotic system for getting orders out promptly. After paying, we waited 45 minutes for our food. The rice was soggy with barely any coconut milk—not authentic at all—and the oxtail was just mediocre: bland and a bit tough. I understand that running a business can be challenging, but it’s important to arrive early enough to prepare the food properly. As customers, we expect to pay a good amount for a satisfying experience and hope to leave in a reasonable time frame.

I went Jamaica mi hungry around 5:30 p.m they ran out of food, strike one. I had jerk chicken, it didn?t taste like jerk chicken strike two. It tasted like pulled pork strike two. The rice and peas not sure what it was. The rice is suppose to be brown, the rice was white. They use the cheapest rice possible strike three. Please take the word Jamaican of your name, your are embarrassment to Jamaican.

Very clean restaurant and Authentic Jamaican cuisine. Not many selections but what they do have is very good.

The Jamaican food in Massachusetts is not great. I'm originally from Florida, and I have Cuban and Jamaican roots. However, I found the jerk chicken and service here to be fantastic. I will definitely be coming back. Unfortunately, I did not have a good experience at Flames.
