Topnotch Island Flavor Kitchen

I wanted to try this place out since I see good reviews and it's authentic jamaican food!!! Plus, I'm from NYC, the best jamaican food that is close to Jamaica . I came on Father's Day & it was a vibe. They were having Father's Day Brunch, the music was popping!!! I was greeted by the owner & she went over the menu with me & luv her vibe. It wasn't crowded & I got seated right away. I ordered mimosas & oxtail w rice beans, steamed cabbage & plantains. The food was good, my belly is full.. for dessert double chocolate cake.Shoutout to the DJ for playing the tunes, and it had me dancing in my seat!!! I'll definitely come back again, now it's time to catch my flight back to Vegas!!!

If you have time for one restaurant or looking for a hit home meal, make sure it's this one. So good, I truly forgot to take picture of the food and drinks. I ordered the jerk chicken meal and oxtail meal with pineapple ginger and tropical island refreshing drinks. Everything was spot on. The service was amazing. The owner is very friendly and made the experience unique. The vibe of the restaurant is island. The music is great, the place is all around positive. This is my go to spot for all Jamaican.

I love this place! The owners are as cool as the food. If you're a poultry and rice whore like me I highly recommend. I literally hunt down chicken dishes everywhere for my entire life - it's like sick obsession of mine. I love fried chicken - who doesn't? - this is in my top 2 for AZ so far, first being Phil's Grill @ Grayhawk. This place is comfort home food but just enough refinement.

Walking in we were greeted warmly and sat anywhere we wanted. The menu was very well laid out and described all of the dishes perfectly. The food was fresh and made to order filled with all the island flavors you would expect and more! I got the Vegan chickpea curry and it was beyond delicious and flavorful. My dad got the brown stew chicken and he was pleasantly impressed. The restaurant made you feel transported to the islands. I definitely will return

We saw this restaurant on yelp and tried it. It was amazing! The jerk chicken was so flavorful and perfectly spiced. The service was friendly and quick. I ordered the cucumber margarita and it was the most refreshing margarita that I have ever had. We will definitely be coming g back thank you!!

Can't wait to go back and try more. Pictured, braised oxtail, jerk chicken, can't remember the name of the cocktail, but it was so good. The owner said because it was made with love

Top 3 signs the food might be fire 1) I didn't unbuckle my pants. I let my pants unbuckle themselves2) I put on sunglasses while eating indoors. Somehow the room got brighter3) My dog tried begging for a bite. In my empty house I asked "Who's dog is this?"

I had the pleasure of trying Topnotch at a food festival. My husband has been dying to get to their location so for his birthday this is where we went. Mrs. Gayle , her husband and brother who is the amazing chef were nothing short of amazing. The food was just what I remember. They were also so sweet to surprise my husband with a slice of cake while singing happy birthday.
