jerk chicken was absolutely delicious! The oxtail was also great, and I think it would be even better with a bit more gravy to bring out the flavors. The spicy beef patty was perfectly balanced, not too spicy but just right . The mac n cheese was ok, needs to be bit more creamy/cheese. Overall the food was great and was not oily , I'm looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu!

Owner is very friendly. Jerk chicken, oxtail, and brown stew chicken all tasted great and the rice served with it perfectly balanced it out. The patties were pretty good as well. Music and decor helped lighten the mood while waiting for food. No place to sit down so it is take out only!

My first time at the restaurant. It is only for take out (not sure if they deliver). I am assuming the owner took care of me when I came in. It was in the middle of the lunch rush and he greeted me with the biggest smile ! The menu is simple but I think that’s best so everything is fresh! I ordered the oxtails and they were so freaking good!!! The small serving was more than enough for me! The food was hot and the meat so tender! I would stop by every time I am in the area!

Located in a newly renovated pavilion with lots of parking, this 'Caribbean' restaurant is truly an undiscovered gem. The customer service was A1 & the food was scrumptious, especially the spinach patties. I highly recommend, and I will most definitely be back!

The oxtail was so good. Fantastic oxtail. Not salty , the right seasoning. The rice and peas was wonderful. Not everyone know how to cook rice but this place do. The owner was super nice. Will be coming again.

Update: Many of their food items are gluten free. Just ask the owner if you are unsure. Unfortunately, the store doesn't have air conditioning and was unbearably hot the last time I walked in. Please, please get this fixed. The food here is great and I would hate to see the store lose customers. I finally got a chance to stop by Jamaican Delight after passing by countless times. It was near closing and they were out of curry goat, jerk chicken and bammy. I ended up getting the oxtail with plantains, rice, salad and orange soda. The 13.00 small size is enough to feed me for at least 2 meals and everything was GOOD. The oxtail was perfectly flavored/cooked, rice was the perfect balance to the meat and the plantains were on point. I really would like to know if their food is gluten free but other than that, this is one of the absolute top Jamaican spots in the area.
