“ Fantastic food. Must order the Rasta Pasta! We added jerk chicken on the side. Two of us shared the meal as we also wanted to eat a fish taco nearby. ”
“ The Jamaican food is delicious! Authentic flavors and selection. Cool setup for to go or dining in. Good service, just a great experience. We wanted to order more food after dining in to take home. ”
“ Can’t believe it’s taken me this long to go to Rasta Pasta but it did not disappoint! The patty was flaky and the filling was so flavourful! What took the cake for me was the Jerk Chicken Dumpling - SO well seasoned and tasty! I gotta come back for the regular jerk chicken plate, the oxtail, and the curry goat ”
“ Tried the fried oxtail dumpling. The oxtail flavour was good. A bit too bready for my liking and wish there was a bit more gravy. I think these will be better when fresh but they were just sitting there in the heating oven. Will try the Mutton Curry next time. ”
“ Highly recommend! The jerk chicken melted in your mouth and was perfectly cooked with the best jerk sauce! The provisions were also delicious. The service was great- when we got there, the owner took his time to explain that they had 2 shops, an Italian-Jamaican fusion and just a Jamaican resto. Next time in trying the fusion! Thank you! ”

“ Visited twice in 2 days for lunch (enough said) - Simone is a delightful hostess - warm and very helpful in making recommendations. The goat curry was oh so succulent, as was the oxtail, the braised pork (pigtails), jerk chicken and the special dumplings (oxtail, salt fish & ackee, jerk chicken). The dumplings had a generous filling and went so well with the hot sauce. ”
