I have ordered online from them so many times that I've lost count, their food holds a special place in my heart, and the customer service makes me smile. Thank you for continuing to be open through covid and putting care into your work.

I ordered the large Oxtail platter and Jerk chicken using Uber Eats. The Jerk chicken was absolutely DELICIOUS and tender! One of the best I’ve ever had. The oxtail platter was amazing! The portion was generous. I will definitely be ordering here again!

This is the total Jamaican experience.The chef is amazing the way he blends spices and prepares the food. Omg I love this place. Best Jamaican food ever. It's out Brooklyn and I live 45 minutes away but it is well worth the drive. I plan to visit Straight Jamdown Island Cuisine again and again. This guy loves to cook. I love Straight Jamdown Idland Cuisine.

One of the best meals I've had.1) The prices, especially for these days, are pretty dang reasonable.2)Portions - Im gonna be eating this for at least two days and im okay with that lol. Also...I dont wanna hear people complain about the ratio of rice (Which with the sauce/oil you get, is glorious) to meat....thats how food is. You eat a bit of meat with the rice. Its literally how broke people have been eating since the beginning of time. If you want more meat.....pay for more meat. Otherwise, the ratio of meat to rice is appropriate for the price.3)Taste - I dont have proper words to explain how it all taste because it was all just...lovely. You could taste each bit alone and its WONDERFUL but you could also mix them together and create a harmony of flavors. Also, the pineapple/ginger drink was refreshing as all get out. A real lovely palette cleanser.I know this is a lot for a review but if you have a good eating experience...say so, in detail, so others will follow suit 3

I loved this spot! I'm always searching for new jamacian/ carribean spots and Straight Jamdown is definitely on the list now. I got Curry Goat (lg) and it was really good. The portion was big, and like it should it came with rice n peas, cabbage and plantains. I order extra plantains because I'm used to only get 2 or 3 slices but they give a lot so I didn't even need them. The coco bread was fresh and delicious and the service was great. I don't want to butcher the spelling of her name but Kaneisha, was very welcoming and I didn't wait at all. I think the price was just right for this meal. I do like my curry goat more spicy but I'm not complaining at all it was full of flavor, tender and not all bones. I'll definitely go back and try more. My son is 1 and he loooves Jamacian food

This is one of the best moments in life. The food was so damn good. The best jerk chicken and best oxtail in town. We used to UberEat their food a lot. We really miss it we will never gonna be able to find another one like this.

Let me tell you something these oxtails and everything on my plate was so good. I am soooooo happy i found this spot. I ordered on door dash and when i tell you everything was handled with care and nothing was wrong and everything tasted so good. If you haven’t been here or ordered here please do, the best oxtails I have had in a long time. Even my toddler loved it wasn’t to spicy it was just right. Thank youuuuu will order AGAIN!!!
