  • I properly enjoy Jamaican food. I grew up with it on the island & appreciate restaurants in the US that try to, but can't really give you that authentic flavor. Paradise is close to what you would get to the flavors and style on the East coast. It's not the closest to the authentic flavors but close enough to tide you over until you hear back East or back to "Yaad." Often when I call for a pick up order they are out of something on the menu. It's a Jamaican restaurant so you just deal with it. Wait times are longer. Often quoted 20 minutes even when you are dining in. Once I was quoted with 10 minutes and thought they were going above and beyond. Service is slow. Music can be inappropriate for a general audience if you know what the lyrics mean. Clean dining room but passing by the kitchen and seeing a curtain in place of a door is disturbing. But overall the place is clean and seems sanitary. The portions are large and I can get 3 servings from the dinner plates. This is not a positive with me as I don't like leftovers hanging around. Not very keen on the price but much better price point per meal than the other places around town. The parties are overpriced at $3 and not really worth it unless you are in desperate needs. Crust is doughy; filling is mostly spice and filler. Curry goat is well seasoned and they get the mutton tender. Alas, it's not really goat. It's mutton. But it's what most restaurants provide in the states and the texture and taste is close enough. The callaloo is from a tin so is the ackee. I long for the day when Americans catch on to the delish taste of Amranath leaves or Callaloo. The Ackee and salt fish is on point. I don't know where they get the yam from but it's pretty tasty. Rice and peas would taste better if it was made without processed coconut milk. The soup was overpriced for what you got and getting it served in those big cups wasn't easy to navigate cutting dumplings and such. Red Peas soup was different from what you typically see on the island but sticks to the version seen in the States. They put noodle soup mix in it. Whereas in the island, it's made from fresh coconut milk, dried red beans, some salted or corned meat and ground provision. Oxtail was good. I was surprised they had callaloo, tripe and beans, cow foot and ackee. But glad. I wish the service was faster but appreciate the wait if it since my food was always straight from the pot hot. I hope they fine tune the menu and have menu items available or at least limit items for certain days. Overall, not terrible Jamaican food for the city. It's not memorable. It is certainly better priced than others. The food is passable but I wish there were other better options. Really wish
