There’s only one Jamaican restaurant.(the original Norfolk street location). The flavors of the food that I’ve had from this establishment was flavorful and full of life. The spices and seasonings of the stews are authentic, the dishes they offer are exquisite and taste great every time I come there. Everything from the rice and peas to the soups to the stew peas to the stewed meats are excellent. This is the location right here. The original location of the 5-7 “only one Jamaican” restaurant locations.

I happened on this place while looking in Google Maps for somewhere to eat after a function one Sunday evening. It was awesome to find great Jamaican food at a good price open on a Sunday evening. Being a storefront in Mattapan, the space was small and takeout only. But the food was awesome!! And even though there were different people being served at the same time, the senior lady behind the counter kept excellent track of each person’s meal so the cashier didn’t get it confused!! I had the fried chicken (with the curry gravy, of course!!) & my wife had the jerk chicken, both with rice & peas. They had a good selection of soft drinks (including Jamaican brands) as well. Fast service, but very business-like (as Jamaican fast food places tend to be), and can be intimidating to a first timer who doesn’t understand the Jamaican accent. But I recommend it highly and will definitely keep it in mind if I’m in the area again!!

My daughter came & was visiting me.out of state on Mother’s Day. It was really late but they served us nice hot food, curry goat,curry chicken, steak too. All of them were excellent. Just a nice feeling of warmth in your body. Like the food is giving you a hug.

Definitely good food. I had the oxtail and stew chicken. Very worth it but not the cabbage. Can use more salt

Although the food is good the workers/service is HORRIBLE HOORRIIBLE! they make you stand and wait while the play around, watch tv, chit chat do everything but take your order! It’s ridiculous! Especially when the food is prepares and in trays, then while you wait until they finish chatting playing and everything else, you have to CONTINUE to wait case NOW they have to refill the trays of food, something they should have been doing instead of watching the customers in line while they play around. I thought this was a business, I guess not, if younask me..don’t waste your time there, fins some place else that appreciates you spending your money at their establishment!! Won’t go there or Hyde Park, the rudeness and horrible customer service is the same! Done with Only One!
