Went for bottomless brunch and it was absolutely amazing! The staff were so lovely—friendly and attentive from start to finish. The food was delicious, full of flavour, and came out nice and hot. Great vibes all around. Definitely recommend and can’t wait to go back!

I booked a table for my daughters 16th birthday dinner with her and her three besties. From the moment I opened the door, I was politelygreeted by Amoya, who saw me to the pre booked table. #BeyondBalloons was decorating the table. Amoya was so polite, customer service focused, and smiled throughout the whole time we were there, she was attentive and very focused, not just on us, but on all of her interactions with all customers. I would like to say thank you to Amoya, and Stefan for the service, it was perfect and was a wonderful start to my daughters 16th birthday, the food, mocktails and cocktails were also superb. Would definitely recommend Jamaya for its, food, atmosphere and excellent customer service.

Went there with my partner for his birthday, and I have to say the food was amazing and the atmosphere was so vibrant! Dj was playing some good music as well, but i must say we where assisted by such a lovely and funny waiter called favour, went out his way for us which was nice considering we’re from France and it was our first time trying this cuisine!will definitely be coming back again! 5

Food was delicious, by far one of the most authentic Jamaican restaurants with their own amazing twists. ordered the fried chicken w rice and gravy and it was amazing (chicken is halal). The portions are reasonable. my only issue was the music was a tad loud but not unbearable, plus they were playing some tunes!! lovely staff and service and the restaurant itself is beautiful!!!

We always have a great time at Jamaya. The food is delicious, I love their Sorrell punch and crispy wings. It's great for a girly brunch, date night, birthday celebrations or just some good food with friends. I'll definitely be returning and would recommend it over and over again.

I am so glad I came across Jamaya. As you can see from the pictures, the restaurant is artistically themed and vibrant! I loved it The food was recommended by the incredible lady that served us (sorry I didn’t catch your name but you was great). Just look at the food it was AMAZING! I had the chicken brown stew with rice and peas, and an extra side of mac cheese. I cannot wait to come back and dine again. Thanks for looking after us. It was truly lovely!

Nice ambience here with a live DJ on a Saturday night, though a bit noisy but still a great place for a night out. The menu is based largely on chicken dishes with variety of options. I ordered the Jam Chicken & Rice and it is no disappointment - rice and peas are cooked to a fluffy texture, chicken is well seasoned, crispy outside and tender inside, complemented with the special gravy sauce which gives the whole dish a hit of spice. Service is a bit slow, staff seem pretty busy and it took a while to take our orders and for the food to be served.
