Irie Jamaican Kitchen

I am going to say that I will be back but what I had last time wasn't really flavorful at all. The service was good and the restaurant is clean and all but the food that I got that day was not authentic Jamaican and was very very bland. Food 5/10Service 9/10

A good spot in Lakewood for a quick takeout meal! There is a small parking lot right at the front. Staff is very warm and friendly! They even let me sample the curry chicken because I couldn't decide what to get! The bowl is definitely a filing size and I'm glad I got that instead of the box (but glad we have bigger options too). They don't skimp on the portions and the plantains had a great crust and char flavor and wasn't super mushy which was fantastic. Jerk chicken has a small spicy for flavor but not too much that made it hard to eat. Cabbage was soft with a slight crunch. Overall great option to have on the west side!

This location just opened this week and I made it a point to tell everyone I could to visit. I've tried several of their other locations and they are always good. The new spot in lakewood is great. It's welcoming, bright and sets to tone with reggae music playing overhead. The staff were very friendly and quick.If you haven't tried Irie, you need to. They have bowls and boxes and the amount of food they provide for the cost is definitely worth it. Speaking of food, it is fantastic with so much flavor but not overly salted which I greatly appreciate. I'm vegan so I get the Buddha Vegetable Bowl and let me tell you, if I wasn't full from eating mine, I would steal my wives before she got home.

The food at this restaurant is so delicious. Great as leftovers as well! I ordered the jerk chicken bowl with rice, cabbage, plantains, jerk chicken, a side of curry chicken ( in the bowl), mango salsa and sour cream. My only complaints are that they won't take a pick up order over the phone and my plantains were a bit undercooked but they were caramelized and the right shade on the outside, still very good.

Great food at a great price! $8.99 for a big bowl.The jerk chicken was tender, delicious, and spicy, but not too spicy. The cabbage and plantains were tasty complements. The beans and rice made the bowl filling. A great meal any time of the day.

Came here for the first time with a friend. Wanted to like it but honestly the service is so terrible I will never be back. The first thing I asked was did they have a paper menu because the TV wasn't working that show the menu and I believe she's the wife of the owner or part owner, have such attitude and ask the guy to turn on the TV. I asked for a sample to determine how spicy The jerk beef was because jerk has gotten spicier and spicy and I can't eat it anymore in a different places. After an eyeroll and grudging gave me the sample it was too spicy for me. Another eye roll later, my friend ordered the oxtail and he was trying to ask for the two sides because it already comes with rice and peas and two sides, he asked if plantains came with it like it does on the bowl. She said yes it comes with it but then used it as a side no matter how many different ways he asked it. I place my order for the stewed chicken she asked me if I want a gravy I asked for the gravy on the rice eye roll and attitude. I never want to go into a place and feel like I'm bothering someone when I'm asking questions or treat it like a child that is annoying when asking a question. My friend ordered the oxtails which was very expensive and he didn't get his cornbread which thankfully checked before we drove off he went back in to get it and was first told it doesn't come with it he had to point to the menu for them to grudgingly give it to him. Sad because I really wanted to like this place but these people truly do not want to serve and so I'm not sure why they are in business.

I was excited to hear of a new restaurant coming to the neighborhood and I was even more excited to discover it was a Jamaican restaurant! Anytime I come here I am greeted by smiling and friendly employees who are also knowledgeable. Everything tastes great I've gotten the jerk beef which is my favorite, the jerk chicken, the curry chicken and the Patties. It's reminiscent of chipotle with how you select what you want in your bowl and everything is flavorful. It's always some nice Caribbean music playing to give into the aesthetic. If you're thinking about trying Irie, what're you waiting on?!

Fast service! Delicious food! Good portion sizes for the price! Best staff around! I've always been greeted by smiling, happy, polite employees! Great experience all around each time I go!

Nothing but love and praise for Irie's newest location in Lakewood! The half-n-half box with jerk and curry chicken (with cabbage and plantains) was so flavorful- especially with some mango salsa. Legit patties and rum cake filled out the order and our bellies. Service was equally irie with tonight's all Jamaican staff It's good vibes for your belly and your soul! Nuff love and respect to Chef O and the irie team
