Elaine's Jamaican Kitchen

My husband and I have been here twice. Our favorites are the Jamaican Jerk Chicken and the Curry goat. We also love the rice . The place is next to HWay I 35 near Berry St, but not visible from the highway and in a pretty run down neighborhood. The restaurant is very tiny and food is served like a buffet with limited choice. It is a real pity that such tasty food is not in a better location. However, this is their second restaurant, the first one being in Dallas, so they do have a following.

Went today hoping for a real Jamaican Pattie. Disappointed  got served  prebaked patties that were left in the warmer too long.

Crust was hard, dry, and broke off in big chunks. Meat fillings were also dry.

If they served precooked, not fresh food, and can't do a precooked patty right, I have no need to try the more expensive and supposedly authentic entres.

Don't waste your time or money.

I an i G'wan go try out Jamaica Gates in Arlington  Dem.

Small restaurant with good authentic Jamaican food. 4 stars for the taste an authenticity of food.  The restaurant is on the west side of I-35 (so not a great location as far as atmosphere).  Take Berry Exit if headed south from downtown FTW.
