    This is my favorite place in Kingston. It is so unique and full of positive vibes. Really nourishes you soul and spirite and of course best Ital food ever. Discover the right way to nourish your body. Full plant based cuisine and of course MUST try the vegan burger = "food orgasm" !

    Listen, the vibration here- different. Outdoor having a real ital meal with the Rastas that are there and just listen to them talking- phenomenal. Tried this meal photoed here and it was a really good meal, filling meal, enjoyed with with some friends and a bottle of spurlina, sea moss sweetened with honey and it was truly amazing. As well, ask for their burger made from chickpea you will not regret- thank me later.

    Big up to Ibo Spice Portal! This Rasta-run spot not only whips up healthy, natural, and downright tasty food but takes vegan dining to a whole new level. The breadfruit burger stands out as a tantalizing taste of Jamaica. Their fresh juices, they hit the spot, and the ital sip with lightning sauce is just fyah. The ital dish mixed plate? A real journey crafted with love and prosperity, not only flavorful but comes in a good-sized portion, giving you bang for your buck. Talking about the vibe, Ibo Spice Portal embraces the essence of rastafari with its rustic charm tucked away on Orange Street, the legendary “Beat Street.” It's not just about the food; it's a whole way of life. Check out the iconic painted wall of icons, and boom, Ibo Spice Portal reveals itself across the street. One love. But keep in mind, it's more of a stop-and-go spot with some outdoor seating that could use a likkle upkeep. Watch out for the unexpected ant guests at the tables. And on the allergy tip, stay vigilant; my girl got a surprise with cashews in the "burger" sauce. Nevertheless nuff Respect! 🇯🇲✌️

    Its was my first time dining at a Ital Restaurant and it was definitely a great experience not to mention the food plus the drinks. The drinks was green juice and I don't know the ingredients but it tasted nice 👍👍👍. Ibo is one the place you should visit.

    I ordered a salad and a juice. For salad, I received one lettuce leaf and three spoonfuls of few vegetables. I didn't have Jamaican dollars so the owner charged me 30 US dolors!! Apparently the owner is famous for ripping off his own employees as well.

    A Portal to Vegan Delight in Downtown Kingston - Ibo Spiece Portal From the moment you step into Ibo Spiece Portal, nestled in the bustling heart of Downtown Kingston, you're not just entering a restaurant; you're stepping into a realm where vegan cuisine transcends expectations. As an Integrative Health Coach, I appreciate not only the nourishment but also the mindfulness behind each dish. The vibrant colors and earthy decor create a serene oasis amid the city's hustle. Soft reggae rhythms complement the atmosphere, instilling a sense of Jamaican authenticity. A delightful journey through Ital cuisine, the menu is a testament to creativity and respect for natural ingredients. Each dish, from the heart-warming sip, with the array of spices, showcases local, organic produce. The flavors are a symphony of traditional Jamaican spices, and modern culinary techniques, making each sip a discovery into a world of the ital culinary culture providing nourishment to your body. The Ital Food, with an arrangement chickpeas, yam, banana, plantain with beat root, coconut, avocado are a revelation – perfectly spiced and comforting. The Breadfruit Burger, consisting of plantain, purple onion, sweat pepper and lettuce, and a special sauce nestled in between two flatten slices of breadfruit was another standout, offering a nutritious twist on a Jamaican classic fruit. Don't miss their smoothies, a blend of tropical fruits and superfoods, providing a burst of energy and taste. The staff at Ibospiece Portal genuinely embodies Jamaican warmth. Their knowledge about the health benefits of each dish adds a valuable layer to the dining experience, aligning perfectly with a lifestyle focused on mindfulness and well-being. Ibospiece Portal isn't just a restaurant; it's a celebration of health, flavor, and Jamaican culture. It's a must-visit for anyone in Kingston, be it a local or a traveler. Whether you're a vegan or just curious about healthy eating, this gem offers a culinary experience that nourishes both the body and soul.

    Great tasting food., Natural vegetarian meals at reasonable prices. Centrally located in downtown Kingston. Parking is available for customers. No space to dine inside the restaurant as it's a small room with limited space.

    Ibo Spice Portal is one of the 'best kept secret' spots in Kingston for authentic Vegan / Ital food prepared by Rastas on coal/ wood fire. The meal options is pretty standard being either a boxed food ( or calabash served) containing a mix of the daily variety of stews served with ground provisions topped with lettuce, beet, radish & carrot. Or the Vegan Burger/ I-ger which comes in two options for a difference in the choice Polenta or Fried Breadfruit as bread substitute. This is filled with a fried Chick- pea patty, special vegan mayo, lettuce, tomatoes & other condiments. They also offer fried breadfruit, green and ripe plantains, Ital Sip/ Vegan Soup, natural shakes, fruit juices, herb, herbal drinks and tonics. Craft souvenir are also for sale. The atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil, seem a hang out spot for craft jewelers. A genuine good vibration. You should give it a try.
