Jamski

It’s an affordable option for the location but waiting time feels way too long. I personally didn’t like the texture and taste of the rice, but maybe that’s because it’s not for me but the Jerk beef was amazing.

My first ever Jamaican kitchen experience here in Nigeria and I must say it was worth it, the owners were so friendly, the meal was delicious although took a while, the scenery was blessed, clean restroom and easy to locate.

### Review of Jamski Lagos in VI, Lagos I recently had the pleasure of dining at Jamski Lagos, a delightful restaurant in Victoria Island, Lagos, specializing in authentic Jamaican cuisine. From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warm smiles and a vibrant, reggae-inspired atmosphere that immediately transported me to the Caribbean. The menu at Jamski Lagos is a feast for the senses, offering a wide variety of traditional Jamaican dishes that are both flavorful and hearty. I opted for the jerk chicken, which was perfectly spiced and tender, accompanied by a generous portion of rice and peas. The oxtail stew was another highlight, boasting a rich, savory sauce that complemented the tender meat beautifully. For those with a penchant for seafood, the escovitch fish is a must-try, with its tangy pickled vegetables adding a delightful contrast to the crispy fried fish. One of the standout features of Jamski Lagos is their commitment to making the dining experience as easy and enjoyable as possible for their customers. Each menu item is accompanied by a vibrant, high-quality photograph, allowing diners to see exactly what they are ordering. This thoughtful touch not only enhances the overall dining experience but also helps those who may be unfamiliar with Jamaican cuisine to make informed choices. In addition to the delicious food, the service at Jamski Lagos is impeccable. The staff are knowledgeable about the menu and are more than happy to make recommendations based on your preferences. The wait times are reasonable, and the presentation of the dishes is top-notch, making every meal feel like a special occasion. Overall, Jamski Lagos is a fantastic addition to the dining scene in Victoria Island. Whether you're a seasoned lover of Jamaican food or trying it for the first time, this restaurant offers a welcoming environment and mouthwatering dishes that will leave you coming back for more. Don't miss out on this culinary gem!

So I've been to jamski twice and thought to write a review now. If you want authentic Jamaican food that is adjacent to what we call mama put this is the place for you, there's no frills or false aesthetic, what you see is what you get. The food taste quite good and is like a brother to our own Nigerian meals. They are very affordable for being located at VI You can get a full meal for less than 8000 naira. The punch comes in different flavors and the fruit punch is more of a smoothie than a drink. The drawback would be the rest room. Very functional and not aesthetic. Like I said earlier it's an upscaled mama-put( Jamaican style) For quick lunch or meeting with friends this is a great place. They also offer take out.

Felt like something different for dinner so Jamski came to mind. We found their page on Instagram and headed to their website to see their menu. We placed our order through WhatsApp (never again - exceptionally slow and awkward interaction. Whoever was on the other end kept on referring to me by my first name). For mains we got the Curry Goat & Brown Stew Oxtail (N7200) and the Jerk Chicken & Brown Stew Oxtail (N7000) (both came with rice & peas and plantain). We also got the Beef Patties and Coco Bread. Delivery took just over an hour. As you can see from the pictures, the portions (aside from the rice) are exceptionally small. The rice itself was overcooked and broke easily. The sauces were watery but had flavour. They weren’t nearly enough for the amount of rice and plantain. The jerk chicken was so small - such a let down especially for the price of the meal. The Beef Patties were flavourful but I’ve had better. The Coco bread didn’t add anything so will skip next time. Seeing such great reviews online has me confused. I think it might be better to order and eat at the restaurant and not order for delivery.
