| - Ahhh, this is the type of place I really want to spend my money at. Ire Jamaican is everything that you desire in a local, mom and pop ethnic eating establishment. These are the same owners that once had a place at the Richmond mall. No one believed that you can have friggin bomb Jamaican food in of all places, in the freaking world the Richmond efn mall. I was fairly pissed when they closed, but that's because it was in efn Richmond mall who's best years were a couple of decades ago. I'm so glad that they opened up and this seems like a really good location.
Let's just start with this place is super clean. The owner Omar, makes you feel at home and you can tell he really wants you to have a great experience. His workers are super nice as well, that tells you that the help is treated well and they do not mind being there.
From what I can surmise just about everything is made from scratch. They have a lot of standard Jamkn fair, including oxtail, chicken and shrimp curry, beef patties, cabbage, beans and rice. , veggies fresh juices and much much more. You can get a combination platter or chipotle it up with making your own bowl with a nice amount of fresh toppings. I even noticed a vegetarian option but obviously I did not pay much attention too.
Being the jerk that I am, I went for jerk chicken, and this jerk chicken was really really jerk ass good. It had a decent level of spiciness with lots of flavor and a subtle smokiness. My side was the cabbage which was fantastic as well. Omar asked how everything was and made sure I was happy while I was scarfing down this bomb ass Jerk chicken. That is what it should be called, Bomb Ass Jerk Chicken. It's settled it will be referred to as Bomb Ass Jerk Chicken.
Oh and for all you cheap asses out there, the portions are tremendous and price point is extremely reasonable, it a down and dirty steal if you ask me.
If you are in the area, pick some up, even of it just for lunch the next day, you will not be disappointed. Oh and they have a small counter you can eat at if you do not feel like waiting.
