Curries, jerks & other Jamaican specialties in an upscale-casual space with a lounge & weekend DJs.
"Dinner at home can still include delicious cocktails with pickup or delivery from Ja’ Grill. Add a bottle of rum punch to meal of Jamaican fare including honey-glazed jerk chicken wings or curry shrimp, both served with rice and peas and plantains. The restaurant doesn’t take reservations, so placing an order through Grubhub or Uber Eats is always a good bet for a meal as relaxing as an island vacation." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff
"The space previously housed an outpost of Ja’Grill, a Jamaican restaurant in Hyde Park. The loss of Ja’Grill took away a full-service restaurant, a rarity for the area." - Naomi Waxman
"Williams connected with Harper Court’s restaurant owners: Ja Grill, Bob’s Pizza, and Jade Court." - Ashok Selvam
"In recent years, places like Ja' Grill (which recently closed) have opened around Douglass Park as there’s been a surge in giving the area more options." - Ashok Selvam
"The patio at Ja’ Grill features both fully covered tables and an area flanked by planters that offers a mix of direct sun and shady seats beneath red umbrellas. Either space provides the opportunity to get a taste of Jamaica by sipping a rum punch or a classic daiquiri along with a plate of jerk shrimp or goat curry." - Samantha Nelson
