"With hearty servings of jerk chicken cut into lean, chunky bites and perfectly prepared rice and peas, Irie Mon Cafe in Brookwood Hills seems to offer a true representation of Jamaican food on its menu. Bite into breakfast meals like porridge (cornmeal or plantain), ackee and saltfish with hoecakes, or the fried-plantain-topped callaloo and fried dumpling. The cafe also serves Halal curry goat, beautifully spiced braised oxtail, and even a fried chicken entree that challenges some of the city’s most famous establishments for crispy yardbird. Irie Mon Cafe includes a mural depicting JFK, President Obama, Nina Simone, and Usain Bolt painted together against a Jamaican flag centered around Bob Marley and one of his most famous lyrics." - Mike Jordan
