The food was delicious. I ordered fried shrimp, which was succulent, Oxtails and Brisket was moist and tender. Oxtail gravy on their rice hit the spot. Jerk chicken was tender and tasty. Chicken rasta pasta taste was amazing, My wife had the fish, she love it and she is not easily pleased. Will be back for the fourth time.

If you’re craving authentic Jamaican flavors delivered straight to your door, Dames Kitchen is a standout choice. Ordering through Uber Eats was smooth, and the food arrived hot, well-packed, and smelling amazing — always a good sign before the first bite. ⸻ Food Quality The jerk chicken was the star: smoky, perfectly seasoned, with that signature kick of Scotch bonnet heat balanced by a subtle sweetness. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender, bathed in a rich, savory gravy that soaked beautifully into the rice and peas. Sides like fried plantains and callaloo tasted fresh and flavorful, not like afterthoughts. Portions are generous, making it easy to share or save for later. ⸻ Packaging & Delivery Everything was securely packed, with sauces separated to avoid sogginess. Despite a 30-minute ride, the rice stayed fluffy, and the plantains retained their caramelized edges. No leaks, no spills — a small but important detail for take-out. ⸻ Value For the quality and portion size, Dames Kitchen offers excellent value. You get true, homestyle Jamaican cooking without the premium markup some delivery spots add. ⸻ Highlights to Try • ️ Jerk Chicken – a must for spice lovers • Oxtail with Rice & Peas – rich, hearty, classic • Sweet Plantains – caramelized perfection • Callaloo – garlicky, earthy greens ⸻ Final Thoughts Whether you’re a longtime fan of Jamaican cuisine or trying it for the first time, Dames Kitchen delivers big flavor, generous portions, and careful packaging that make it a reliable Uber Eats go-to. Perfect for a cozy night in when only island comfort food will do. Food: 5 Service: 5 Service: Delivery Meal type: Lunch Price per person: $10–20
