Belly's Taste of Jamaica delivers a vibrant array of Jamaican favorites, showcasing the rich flavors of the island's diverse culinary heritage. At the heart of the menu, enticing dishes like curry goat and jerk chicken command attention, tempting diners with traditional spices and bold aromas. The restaurant offers generous portion sizes, particularly in their "small" meals, that promise satisfaction and value. Yet, experiences can be inconsistent; while some patrons appreciate the intensely seasoned oxtail and perfectly tender patties, others have reported texture and flavor issues with several offerings, including the notorious rice and peas. Despite potential setbacks, the appeal of their menu is undeniable, with must-try dishes such as the ackee and saltfish alongside sides like plantains. The service experience varies—a friendly, accommodating staff is not guaranteed, but many find humor in the lively Jamaican atmosphere emblematic in some staff interactions. Notably, the establishment has been praised for its catering services, accommodating special orders efficiently with ample notice for events.
