Jam’It Bistro is the kind of neighborhood Caribbean spot that quietly overdelivers. The jerk chicken came out glossy, smoky, and properly charred, with that sticky sweet heat that keeps building bite after bite. Juicy all the way through, especially the dark meat, with rice and peas underneath soaking up every drop of sauce. The curry goat was the comfort-food standout — deeply seasoned, rich, and slow-cooked until tender, with a thick curry gravy that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The cabbage on the side balanced everything out perfectly and kept the plate from feeling too heavy. No fancy plating, no gimmicks — just authentic Jamaican flavors done right. One of those meals where you instantly know the kitchen cooks from experience, not shortcuts. Brooklyn comfort food at its best.

The food is awesome, they have something for everybody to eat whether you like traditional food, seafood or even vegetarian. The staff is always lovely when I go there and they have creative meals on the menu as well. The Fat Bwoy Patties are a must try!!

really happy to have a local Jamaican/Caribbean spot nearby. Ordered for pick up which was ready in 15min and the guy behind the counter was the nicest fellow when we picked up our food. We got two medium sized dinners for 30 bucks. While I’ve had more flavorful goat and the Mac and cheese was a little meh, the jerk chicken, mixed greens, and rice and peas were solid. The quantity made us fine with the quality, we’ll be ordering from here again when our next craving hits. Only regret was they forgot to include our side of fried plantain 🥲

Most Delicious Jamaican food in the Red Hook area. This spot is a little hidden in the streets of red hook but don’t let that deter you from a visit. The curry chicken roti and oxtail don’t miss a beat in terms of Jamaican flavor and spice! They offer healthier options as well as some options like the stew cabbage with less sodium. The owner is such a kind soul as well and you have to try her brand Happy Juice! Her sorrel is impeccably delicious and has a little fizz to it that’s divine!

Can't say enough of this small Jamaican and Caribbean bistro. The owner set a couple tables for us to eat outside and made me this tasty snapper with coconut reduction, white rice, collards and kale. She also supports the community by getting up early every morning to make 185 meals for a food Bank, yet does not get paid quickly which is hard for cash flow. RESPECT in keeping the community sound
