J&T Jamaican Restaurant & Catering

Oxtail

Slow-braised until the collagen breaks down into a glossy, deeply savory gravy — the benchmark dish at any Jamaican restaurant and almost certainly the star here

Jerk Chicken

Charred and smoky with the scotch bonnet heat you expect — the kind of jerk that stains your fingers and demands an extra napkin

Curry Goat

Tender goat in a fragrant curry sauce with enough depth to suggest it's been going for hours, not minutes

Brown Stew Chicken

The milder, everyday Jamaican classic — caramelized chicken in a dark, slightly sweet stew that pairs perfectly with rice and peas

Rice and Peas

Kidney beans cooked into coconut-infused rice — the essential Jamaican accompaniment and a reliable measure of kitchen quality

Fried Plantains

Sweet, caramelized plantain slices — soft in the center, golden at the edges, the kind of side that disappears before the main course
