iRiE Jamaican Kitchen - Shaker Heights

I was in Cleveland recently and found myself wanting to try some new places (I'm not a local). So when I found iRiE I was thrilled.After having some authentic Jamaican recently while on vacation I have been intrigued to try more. The location was reasonably close to my hotel so I thought why not? The options were good, staff was friendly, and the prices are unbeatable! I had the Curry Chicken, rice and "peas", and cabbage and plantains. I must say I enjoyed every bit of it. To be honest I could have had seconds! I placed my order and was in and out in under 10 minutes. This is a great place to get Caribbean flair food and for the price it is outstanding! Next time I'm in the area I'll be sure to try them again!

One thing I will say is that I am a pretty hard critic of Jamaican cuisine, so you'll have to bare with me in my expectations. I've tried Irie in the past when they first opened up on 185th and even then, it was just kinda bland to me. It's almost like they play it safe with the seasonings or something, if that makes sense. The food is light and it obviously is good quality, it just doesn't hit the authentic Jamaican food target for me. As for this time, I ordered online. The location in Shaker, it was easy to find as I grew up on the street it's on the corner of. The young lady that greeted me was friendly and she explained that I could've walked right up and avoided the line when picking up. All was well, but when I get home (and this is partly my fault for not checking the bag before I left), my ginger ale was not in my order. I checked the receipt to make sure it came with the meal and then I attempted to contact the location to let them know they forgot my drink. There is no phone number listed on the receipt or the website so I chalked it. The flavor was still on the light/bland side to me, the cabbage portion was a joke, the rum cake and plantains were both good. Even though I wanted to possibly return for their jerk brisket, I'm cool, I can live without eating there again.

Delicious!!! The food is super fresh and seasoned to perfection. I love the jerk chicken, plantains, rice & peas & cabbage!! Clean restaurant and professional, friendly service!!

Great food and taste. Jerk chicken is out of sight. Chef prepares food well. Excellent customer service.

Great savory comfort food at a fair price. Perfect if you are looking for a delicious filling meal. I've tried the curry chicken, the jerk chicken, and the stewed chicken. All very good. I never pass up the mango chutney, which adds a nice sweet accent. So glad these guys brought their business to Shaker!

Very good food for the price and the service is superb. Great location for a more modern Jamaican cuisine. Keep up the great work!

Arrived 6.14.24. Out of most sides. The Manager went above and beyond to accommodate substitutions to my liking. Actually toning down the rasta pasta heat so it would not be too overbearing for me! Excellent customer service!!!! And that's why I keep coming back and letting my fr

I go here a lot, I went on March 1 and the service was terrible, never had that before but they had 2 young girls there and they had nasty attitudes, I told them the counter where the food is, is nasty food all over it the tall one told me if I didn't want to eat there don't come, the counter was disgusting, I talked to the manager and he acted like "ok so" terrible I asked for a veggie box got home no chick peas very little cabbage, only reason I would go back is because my hubby likes it, but the customer service was [email protected] I have my receipt. Hire people that are nice those two girls were A. H. You can send me a reply to my email, Thank you

If you're looking for a tasty and authentic Jamaican meal, you should try iRiE Jamaican kitchen. I went there on Saturday and I was blown away by the flavor and the quality of the food. The jerk chicken was especially amazing, with a perfect balance of spice and sweetness. The service was also friendly and fast. I can't wait to go back and try more dishes. iRiE Jamaican kitchen is a must-try for anyone who loves Jamaican cuisine.

The order of rice and peas was an order of rice! One pea with the skin of two other peas -- absolutely pitiful! Beans are cheaper than rice. This Jamaican restaurant needs to add more peas to their rice or be truthful and only put rice on the menu!!
