It's unfortunate that this minority owned business - Taste of Jamaica 1 in Sayreville, NJ - think they could be rude towards customers!! Ann Kerri is the owner and she need to learn how to interact better with customers.
My husband was referred to this restaurant and we are always happy to support. Word of mouth is how most businesses receive new customers, right? However, I will never support or patronize this restaurant when the owner thinks its OK to treat a customer disrespectful.
On 1/22/2022, my husband and I purchased a large order of curry goat, small curry chicken, side of plantains

I have frequented this restaurant many times and had pleasant encounters with the owner, Marcia. Today however, I placed an order on DoorDash totaling close to $70 and I received a call from the owner advising that she would not be sending the drinks that I PAID FOR because she felt that DoorDash was "robbing her" and "running a promotion without her knowledge".
I insisted that she call DoorDash to resolve the issue but she proceed to yell, scream and curse over the phone and even told me to come pick the food up instead even though I paid for delivery!
It's also ABSURD that the food is not as

Walked in to order food as soon as they opened i noticed nothing on the stove being cooked. I ordered oxtail and saw them get the rice and cabbage from heating pans. And she told me we’re just waiting for the oxtail.. i watched her take the oxtail from refrigerator put it in another container and warm it up in the microwave. I felt bad to walk out so i let it be.. during check out she told me there is a $3 fee to use my card. Told her no thanks and walked away. Portion was small for $22 and it’s only one size! But it was the refrigerated oxtail that turned me off! Over prized, small portions

We met with friends at this spot for lunch. we heard about this restaurant from a lot of people. Well, it was very nice. The crew were very polite and we had an excellent feeling. The food was just great. We enjoyed every moment and we will definitely return to this restaurant. Warmly recommended.

I agree with the previous posts about the food being overpriced with small portion sizes. I don’t mind paying good money if the food is worth it, but they should be ashamed of themselves for over charging customers. In all honesty, the food is tasty but not worth the price for the small portions you receive. No hard feelings but I will NEVER patronize this establishment again.

I usually don't eat Jamaica food because I don't like oxtails and I don't like dark meat chicken. He picked out wings and breast from the brown stewed chicken for me and it was delicious! The portions were plentiful and the customer service is great! I treated my husband for his birthday but I got a real treat myself! I can finally say I eat Jamaican food now,but only from Taste of Jamaica 1.

Marcia and her husband serve the most delicious and authentic Jamaican food. The love the have for their food and their customers is top-notch. There is no such thing as a 'small portion' here - everything is always served in plentiful amounts. The owners are beautiful, kind, warm, and fun people. I am moving soon and will sadly miss this amazing treasure in the middle of NJ!
