Jamaican D's Inc.
Included In
For the picky eaters, or the “who made the potato salad?” crew, we want you to know that you won’t find a bad dish on Jamaican D’s menu. Even though the wait at this Chelten Ave. spot can get longer than a braiding shop on a busy day, a platter of jerk chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage is worth sticking around for. Plus, once you’ve ordered, they’re quick, so you don’t have to wait too long before biting into their chicken that’s dripping with jerk sauce.
They’re open every day and have classic Jamaican dishes like curry chicken, brown stew, and jerk salmon that can spark your tongue with subtle heat. To cool your mouth down, get their cinnamony sweet potatoes. After your first pillowy spoonful of these mashed potatoes, you won’t want to eat anything else. Stop by for a quick lunch in the city, or when you want a dinner that will make you as full as a Christmas feast with your family.
