Reviews for Jam-Icons Jamaican Restaurant in Newark, NJ
If you've never had jerk chicken before then you're in for a real treat just a little bit of the jerk juice will eat the varnish... off the furniture or eat a whole straight through the paint job of any expensive sports car this stuff is absolutely fire buttaste ever so good.. the smell outside is just so alluring that it basically makes up for how dirty the place is outside.. andhow unsafe it is for anyone and everyone it ain't a black thing it ain't a white thing this is just the people thing and thepeople in this neighborhood ain't friendly so make sure your Park close and avoid being around the area after dark Read more
Wish I could give them 0 stars. Ordered peppers shrimp and oxtails through DoorDash, the peppered shrimp was completely rotten.... It stinked up the room immediately I opened it. Imagine being hungry, only to be served rotten food, you paid for. Read more
Very disappointed with my order. No seasoning, the food is bland, the oxtail is hard, I had no veggie or plantains. Overall no... good Read more
I love Jamaican food and everytime I travel I am always in the mood for delicious oxtails. Today, I was surprised with the type... of service I received at this establishment because I didn't expect to be disrespected and told that I couldn't just order alarge tray of oxtails for my family. I ask them why they weren't able to fulfill my request and instead made an entire to gocontainer full of rice and 3 oxtails and 3 plantains. Again, I'm ordering the food for my entire family. They told me to pay andleave. This cost me $22 for a tray full of rice and 3 oxtails. I'm am not happy. Read more
Ordered curry shrimp. Never had a curry dish so bland and dry, no sauce. Overcooked mushy vegetables. Most of dish is rice.... Small section of ?main dish? small section of cabbage, huge amount of white rice. Poor quality, poor quantity. Just overalldisappointing dish. At home, when I order, I get mostly main dish and a very small side of rice comes with meal. Jam icons isridiculously bad. Read more
I?m truly disappointed this food was so horrible I wish I could give zero stars first of all the prices increase which is... COMPLETELY fine but at least increase your quality in the food 1.) WHY is there so much oil in the pasta who cooks with thatmuch oil???? Then it taste like you just wasted Alfredo sauce all on the pasta and drop like 3 shrimps inside for $17 PLUS taxlol ridiculous I don?t want my money back but please do better take your time and do better :) Read more
Great home style Caribbean cooking
I ordered curry chicken, rice and peas, with macaroni pie. Everything was dry! Macaroni pie is clearly overcooked. I only... ordered here because of the reviews on Uber eats, I regret it so much. I've never had West Indian food this disgusting in mylife. Update: I ate some of it, trying to give it the benefit of the doubt, it tasted as bad as it looked. I also wound upvomiting all of it up approximately 10 minutes later. Avoid this place like the plague. Read more
