I
was
pleasantly
surprised
to
find
Jamaican
food
in
the
food
court
at
Aventura
Mall.
It's
great
representation
and
the
food
is
high
quality
for
the
fast-casual
diner.
The
favorites
are
present:
oxtail,
curry
chicken,
and
jerk
chicken.
Of
course,
due
to
the
location,
it's
not
smoked
first
and
isn't
bone-in,
or
this
would
be
five
stars.
However,
what
they
have
is
definitely
top
notch
and
worth
your
time
if
you're
having
a
craving.
The
Rice
&
Peas
were
even
made
with
coconut
milk
and
there's
nothing
more
authentic
than
that.
They
did
have
a
quinoa
option
but
I
couldn't
pass
up
the
rice.
The
jerk
tasted
slow
stewed
in
the
sauce
and
I
got
extra
oxtail
gravy
on
my
rice.
The
protein
comes
with
three
toppings
like
plantain
&
sautéed
onions
and
green
peppers.
Surprisingly,
cabbage
was
no
where
to
be
found,
which
I
thought
was
strange
because
why
no
cabbage?
Perhaps,
they
were
out.
They
do
have
broccoli
for
a
surcharge
and
we
opted
for
that.
It
was
fresh
and
not
overcooked
because
it
retained
and
nice
little
crunch.
The
other
staples
like
D&G
brand
soda.
including
my
all-time
favorite
Champagne
Kola,
are
present.
Plus,
homemade
patties
at
a
good
price.
The
have
a
Floridian
brand
water
in
an
environmentally
friendly
canister
but,
I
personally
did
not
like
the
container.
It
was
$50
for
2
meals,
which
I
found
to
be
expensive
for
a
food
court
and
why
I
didn't
mark
this
5-stars.
Would
I
eat
there
again?
Yes.
Would
I
go
to
Aventura
Mall
just
to
eat
there?
Maybe.
Either
way,
you'll
have
a
full
belly
and
an
enjoyable
meal
if
not
a
lighter
wallet
but
isn't
that
what
the
mall
is
for
anyway?
If
you
like
Jamaican
food,
do
go.
