Ok, I am in Jackson, for business and kept reading about this restaurant. I pride myself on discovering great local restaurant. Jamaican & African Restaurant is one of those local finds, where the kindness toward the patrons and the passion for their food is absolutely wonderful.

As they say in Jamaica, " Ya mon, I have inner luv fi your food”

One of my favorite places to visit! Their menu does not disappoint. I highly recommend the Jerk Chicken& Rice, Curry Chicken, plantains and Oxtail. As you can tell, I'm working my way through the menu! The service is wonderful and always greeted with a smile!
