What People Are Saying About Montego Bay Authentic Jamaican Cuisine

In Short
This Jamaican-themed restaurant transports visitors to the island with reggae music, aromatic spices and a kaleidoscope of Caribbean blue and sunny yellow walls. Efficient waiters buzz among tables of gregarious 20- and 30-somethings dressed for a night out. Meals start with warm Toto bread, a coconut-scented cross between cornbread and cake. Entrees--like sweet and vinegary escovich fish, tender beef curry and jerk chicken marinated in warm allspice and hot peppers--burst with bold flavors.

The food here was very good. My fiance is from Jamaica and she gave it an 8 out of 10. Very authentic. If you want Jamaican Food in Portland you pretty much had one option and this was it. P.S. I say "was", "gave" and "had" because they are out of business, or moved. If you like Jamaican food and another one pops up, make sure to support it because we currently don't have any among the bazillion or so restaurants in Portland.
