The food was absolutely amazing! I got the small jerk ribs on the weekend and it was such a great portion size. The service was quick and prompt, and the woman who took my order was very kind. Overall, great place! Really enjoyed the music while I waited. I will definitely be back in the near future!

Came here around 1pm on a Saturday for the first time. Placed the order and waited about 25 minutes. And it was definitely worth it. I don't eat Oxtails but was told they were a hit. I tried the sauce and it was so flavorful and savory. Would definitely get them if I ate beef. Now that curry mash! O my goodness, I never had it before but it was so good. It's not just mash potatoes and curry. The onions, peppers and other fresh seasonings set it off and I would get it again. The plantains were good, soft and sweet. The steamed veggies were so good and sautéed perfectly. I don't like them cooked too long and they had the perfect bite. The rice and peas were also good. They went perfectly with the meal and the seasoning was on point. The chicken curry patty I could've passed on. The outside was so flaky and good! I never had a patty like that but it was kind of cold and I had already gotten the curry chicken and thats exactly what it taste like, just in patty form, although the curry chicken meal was better. The chicken curry was sooo good and flavorful. I got a roti skin to sop up my curry but didn't care for it to much. It tastes like its made with wheat flour or germ flour and was a bit too thick‍ no shade to them. To be honest, I'm a 'bust up shut' roti kinda girl and everybody's is different and that's fine. Now, if they made the roti skin like they made the Jamaican patty, I would be in business. I ate quite a bit and STILL had a whole meal to take home with me and was full after finishing it. When I see people of the culture eating their own food its a good indication to me the food is good. There were a couple tables with a few Jamaican's enjoying it. We went the Saturday after Hurricane Beryl so the lights in the dining area were out probably due to heat, which I'm fine with. It wasn't too hot or cool even without the air on. It was a good time. Next time I'm getting the jerk chicken

SOOO good great service plenty room to eat inside not too noisy. Oxtails were juicy cabbage was good rice was tatseee. Carrot cake was soooo good and I don't like carrot cake

Tried to Jamaican food for the first here and it was a good choice because the food here was amazing! Dedicated staff making your food, very small place and crew, but they do such a good job. When you walk inside it has a nice cozy ambiance, would have been a nice place to sit inside and eat. I got the jerk wings with the rice and peas and cabbage. Also got to try the beef patties that they had. Delicious! Would love to go back again!

I just so happened to be on the south side with this cup of hot chocolate and her 3 kids. They mine too but we not here for those details. Anyways, we were starving like we just left black church and the reviews on this spot were talking that talk. Walking in I could tell it was early so there was no line just like I like it. The scene was giving you're in a low key sketch part of town so you know the food about to hit. The lady taking my order was nice which is always a plus when ordering food for a first time somewhere. Portions? You ever had a grandma? She ever fixed your plate? That's all I gotta say about that. Highly recommend! Highly Enjoyable! Will be back!

Summary: Have you heard about Toogoodtogo? It's an app that provides surprise food at discounted rates, featuring a variety of items based on what's available in participating stores. This innovative concept not only grabs the attention of restaurants but also encourages users to discover new items while helping reduce food waste. Helen's Kitchen, a Jamaican restaurant, is a fantastic addition to the app, offering unique flavors in a cozy space with limited parking. The interior is beautifully decorated with captivating Jamaican-style scenes. Food: At this Jamaican restaurant, you'll find tempting dishes like Oxtails, Curry Goat, Jerk Chicken, and more as you peruse the menu. They offer both small and large portions at varying prices. Our surprise dish turned out to be the curry chicken, and it was a generous serving that satisfied both my wife and I. Although the chicken was slightly salty, the rice helped balance the flavors. My wife enjoyed the vegetables. We're looking forward to trying more items and eagerly anticipating more surprises from them. Hopefully, the next time around, we won't receive the same dish. TLDR: TRY IT ! Support Jamaican Business!

I ordered at the restaurant to go, it took maybe about 10-15 minutes for them to prepare the food. Once I got in the car I noticed that the container was leaking as you can see from the picture! But on the good side the plate was VERY FULL. I didn't want to waste all the precious gravy though. The cabbage was 10/10. There was plenty of rice, I wish the oxtail and curry were spicier but both tasted slightly above average good. My plate was supposed to come with plantain but I think they forgot it. So I give them a 3.8/5 for the leaking plate, forgetting the plantain and giving me a beef patty instead of the chicken patty I asked for.

I am a huge fan of Jerk Chicken and oxtails. Anytime I'm able to try a new restaurant that serves Jerk Chicken and oxtails. I'm definitely gonna stop in. I am very glad that we stopped in and tried Helen's kitchen today. They're serving up some really good Jamaican cuisine and I'm a tell you what you will enjoy what they have to offer. Food: the oxtails were easily the best dish I had. Full of flavor, full of meat, just a top-notch dish for oxtails. That was a very flavorful tasty oxtail. Jerk Chicken was solid. it wasn't the best Jerk Chicken. It wasn't the worst Jerk Chicken. It was just a very solid Jerk Chicken. I would give the Jerk Chicken three or four stars out of five. Very tasty. Just the oxtails have were very special. I would definitely come back just for the oxtails. If you're a fan of oxtails stop by here ASAP. the customer service was great. We got three plates, and the food came out and a very timely matter. I will be back soon.

Very spacious restaurant with several tables to dine in or order to go. A family restaurant. Service was okay. They were pretty busy when we came in and there wasn't any guidance given for first time customers. Ordered the garlic shrimp, jerk chicken, and the jerk ribs. All came with rice and peas, plantains, cabbage. The jerk sauce for the chicken is good and kinda spicy. Rice and peas And cabbage are also good. I had the garlic shrimp - they were deveined but the tails were still on. The garlic sauce itself was ok. The ribs were also cool too. Oh, how could I forget the beef patty. This go for this! Well seasoned beef. Truly hand made. Something to note: eitherThe price listed on the menu is if you pay in cash or there is a price increase and the menu changed. I went back to look at my receipt and each dish had a small 1-3% increase in cost and I paid with a card.
