Jamafo Jamaican Food Xpress Encino

Come here. try incredible! I have Ruck chicken with rice tart and the cauliflower was in order, but everything else was amazing! and they also have halal oxtail and goats option, youngs!

Another Jamaican place in the SFV? I'll take it! Glad there are now a handful of options in this region. Might have to start picking favorites soon... On to the review. For dinner, we got a curry goat plate and a jerk chicken plate. Delivered. The food was fine. Don't know if it would pass the Jamaican mom test, but it was Jamaican enough to feel like you're having an authentic, ethnic food experience. It largely felt and tasted like this food came from a mall's foodcourt. And that is by no means a knock on Jamafo. It'd be great to have Jamaican food represented in every format of restaurant service. It just tasted a little fast and chainy. So would I be mad if there were as many Jamafos around as there were, say Del Tacos, I definitely would not be. This place seems to shine the most with their portions. You'd pay about the same, compared to other Jamaican/Caribbean spots' prices, but they give you a ton of rice. Thankfully, the rice and peas go down easy here. I also love that I could try the oxtail as a side sauce. Great menu touch. This is not my favorite Jamaican place in the Valley, but it is another worthy take on the cuisine staples I grew up on, and that is grounds for celebration.

Gave it a 1 star because of generous portions.But the oxtails are tasteless and its the worst rice and peas I've ever eaten. So disappointed.

I ordered the curry chicken box with plantains coconut rice cabbage and it was really good. I also got a pineapple soda which was also very flavorful. I definitely will be back.

Big portions. Vegan jerk drumstick box never disappoints. Parties are also flaky and good.
