Casual restaurant serving Jamaican favorites and drinks in a setting evocative of the island's outdoor kitchens.
"Like Philly Elmo or Iverson, the curry goat at Irie deserves the next shoutout on Abbott Elementary. The tender cubes of lamb come floating in curry sauce that’s oniony, peppery, and has a subtle ginger flavor. The portions are also so big that you can expect every main and side dish to spill over the edges inside of the takeout tray (they don’t have a dine-in option). But we’re not complaining—a curry goat, jerk chicken, mac and cheese, or rice mashup might be the greatest Philly combination since an open parking spot and a lawn chair. " - candis mclean
"They rented a beach house in Jamaica with an ocean view, a jacuzzi, and played dancehall nonstop. Now they gag when you mention the Jersey Shore and claim their feet can only comfortably touch white sand. We don’t know if their new persona as island royalty is permanent, but we do know where you can get some great jerk wings, curry goat, and tender oxtails. Head to this takeout-only spot in Francisville for massive platters ranging from $13-$20, and while you wait, they can fill you in on their new jacked, jobless fiancé they met on the beach.

"Like Jim Gardner and Iverson, the curry goat at Irie deserves the next shoutout on Abbott Elementary. The tender cubes of lamb come floating in curry sauce that’s oniony, peppery, and has a subtle ginger flavor. The portions are also so big that you can expect every main and side dish to spill over the edges inside of the takeout tray (they don’t have a dine-in option). But we’re not complaining—a curry goat, jerk chicken, mac and cheese, or rice mashup might be the greatest Philly combination since Julius Erving and Moses Malone." - Candis R. McLean
