Absolutely fantastic island food! So flavourful and tasty.
Very generous portions, and one of the most authentic I've tried this side of the pond. The ackee and saltfish is absolutely divine, and so is the curry goat. Gotta love their dumplings and festivals too.
Quite a few vegan options too, especially amongst side dishes (which often come in very sizeable portions).
Really friendly and kind staff (it's basically family-run), such lovely and welcoming people.
This place became an instant favourite of mine, I literally feel home whenever I eat there.
The first time myself and my wife had a takeaway from here. Won’t be the last. I had the veggie box. My wife and son had the goat and chicken. None of us could fault the food. 5⭐️
Coming from East London I love trying new food and have a love for Jamaician food.
This was my first time ordering for Jamaica Street. I have Curry goat, Brown stew chicken, rice and peas, Mac and cheese, dumplings and plantain, all the food was great but the plaintain was a bit hard for my liking. My partner said it was the best dumpling she has tried.
I would advise you to ring in advance to order your food, as the wait time was long.
Will be visiting again.
First time ordering a takeaway, absolutely bloody gorgeous! Dumplins were just out of this world good, plantain was beautiful wish I ordered two portions to be honest. Would love to try your jerk chicken but not a fan of very hot food, but I'll be back for sure! My new favourite takeaway 💙💙

I'm an Ipswich boy who now lives abroad and I've had Jamaica Street on my radar for a trip back for quite a few years now. I was worried that I'd built up expectations too much, but I can honestly say my first order from the restaurant was the best meal I've eaten in my old home town! I dropped in to order a big box meal (£15, worth the extra fiver for another main and side) and went with curried goat, jerk chicken, rice and peas, Mac and cheese, and fried plantain. If you're picking up, allow a bit of time because they're cooking to order. The place itself is a bit messy and could do with a tidy up, but that hardly matters when it comes to the food. The goat was soft and tender and just dripping off the bone, and the chicken was heavily marinated and had a good bit of bbq char. Bit of heat to both but not enough to burn anyone's mouth off. The rice and peas and mac and cheese were hearty and warming accompaniments. The smoky sweetness of the plantain compliments the mains well. It isn't fancy, but I'd rather eat this than dine in some poncy high end restaurant any day of the week! Comfort food at it's finest, tastes like it has been cooked with love. The portions are also very generous. I can't recommend the food enough, Jamaica Street will be my first port of call next time I'm back in town!
Me and my boyfriend went for a 10/10 dinner here this eve.
Everything was incredible !!
Amazing food. And lovely lady running the place.
Please support this amazing business
Very Good Vegan Options 😋
Looking forward to my next visit!
This is the first Caribbean restaurant I’ve ordered from since moving from London. Food was really good and tasty. Not enough heat for us personally, but still really delicious. Service spot on
Just the best food!
The woman that served us was really friendly, will 100% be coming back
Had the goat curry, fried plantain, dumplings, and Mac & cheese.
I’m full and very happy
Proper authentic Jamaican food. I eat there weekly, great goat curry, the plantain and dumplings are to die for when dipped in the extra side of curry.
They also actually bbq and smoke their jerk chicken, even in the middle of winter 🫶
Come hungry and leave happy with a full belly.
Might have to wait a little to get the food, so do order by phone before coming, if you know what you want. That being said, it is what it is, its great slow food.
In a town full of Indian, Chinese and Kebab places, restaurants like this are blessings for people like us who love trying different types of food. Jerk Chicken, Curry Mutton and Peas Rice are really good. But our favourite dish here is Ackee and Saltfish (remember Jamaica Farewell?). Staff friendly. Recommended.
Have only had take out but it’s a gem. Absolutely delicious, arrived fresh and hot. Recently moved to Ipswich from London and had really missed our local Jamaican cafe so it’s a great find for us!
Was well impressed with the service and the food. Fresh,tasty and authentic. First visit but will definitely go again.
Not the first time visiting this gem of a spot.
Food as always been spot on, curried goat is my actual favourite meal of all time after trying it for the first time here! Would recommend the green banana too! And as for the service, well the girl that has been there on the occasions I have visited has been nothing but accommodating and so professional.
That oxtail was incredible.. Lush gravy and meat falls off the bone. Some meat you get are dried this one was still moist. The customer service the waitress was just so warming and welcoming.. Made me and my daughter 'right at home' with her friendliness and being so attentive. I wanted to explore and she was so happy to help.. I loved the music.. The atmosphere and glad I popped in. Thank you
Have been waiting to try Jamaica Street and at last ordered, we had Curry Goat and Jerk chicken with Rice and Peas, cannot thank them enough, the meals were fabulous and wrapping the containers was a brilliant idea as the meals were lovely and Hot, would thoroughly recommend, many thanks Guys will definitely be back soon to reorder.
The good, the service was beautiful, would definitely recommend any day of the week! Not to mention the food was beautiful and definitely full filling.
Best curried goat ever, the food and service superb.
