    Ackee hummus with grilled flatbread & hot pepper shrimp apps, then steamed porgy on bammy and jerk salmon with side of rice and peas and Jamaican vegetables. Good sangria and sorrel drinks.

    They might have cracked the code for the perfect fry width. They’re so thin that they veer towards matchstick, but they still have enough heft to evoke the idea that they were once a humble potato. Read more

    Call ahead to make sure they have the coconut cake & have them set aside a piece for you when you get there. Everything jerk is amazing, but don't miss out on the smokey-sweet grilled pork ribs!

    Loved everything about this restaurant. The goat stew was fantastic, as was the punch. Recommend coming with a group and ordering one of everything. Service was excellent.

    Original home of the best jerk chicken in the city. The organic salad with the fish has a great flavor and a tangy sweetness from the mango that is refreshing and satisfying. Not too sweet - spot on!

    Perfect place for a birthday party! Such a fun vibe, everyone's super friendly and the food is so good. Don't leave without the jerk wings, corn on the cob, oxtail stew, and coconut cake.

    Phenomenal Jamaican food in a great environment with super nice servers. The juice bar adjacent to it is also superb and Melvin is the nicest guy!

    Try the ackee and salt fish, get extra festival. The Dutty Wine (red wine sangria) was good and so was the Bellini. Great atmosphere and nice staff.

    Great vibe in this place. Unique menu offerings. Attentive owner who made us feel like home. Well prepared food. A little on the pricy side with my sandwich, side, and a smoothie coming out at $29.

    This is one of the coolest and best places in NYC/the village. The food outstanding: I got a jerk chicken roti, jerk corn and rice and beans. The prices are very cheap. Highly recommended!

    On my first day of restaurant week Miss Lily's gave to me: jerk corn, watermelon & feta salad, jerk chicken and dark n' stormy rum cake! The servings are generous and the staff is very friendly!

    The Bitches Say: A-. The ambiance, service, and most importantly, food at Miss Lily’s were authentically Jamaican and equally fun. Don’t worry, be happy & brunch on, Bitches! Read more

    Great vibe and amazing Food. There is a DJ at all times playing a selection of reggae music. It is a bit expensive, but well worth it. Try the Jerk Chicken and Plantains.

    The staff at the juice bar are always super friendly and take care of all your needs. Love the pb&j shake with blueberry and the jerk chicken roti. Also don't forget about their delicious coffee!!

    Everything is spectacular but the highlights are the corn & coconut cake... and the jerk chicken is spot on too - honestly you can't go wrong. Order the whole menu!

    The essential qualities of a perfect birthday restaurant are as follows: legitimately fun, good for groups, scene-y but not annoying, great food, and reasonable prices. Miss Lily’s covers all.

    Miss Lily's is the perfect place to grab a snack in between classes. The colors and energy of the restaurant alone are enough to pump you up. We can get enough of their delicious and fresh juices.

    Miss Lily’s creamy, and decadent banana pudding comes layered with freshly cut bananas and delicious vanilla wafers for some added texture.

    MS. Lily's provides a fun atmosphere with laid back, Caribbean vibes. Tuesday evenings in the summertime they have a crab boil special that will not disappoint!

    Jerk chicken's really tender and not that spicy. The cod fish fritters are delicious but the portions are a tad small. Overall great food and pretty cool crowd. Don't forget your plantains!

    Melvin will probably call you beautiful and make your day. Jerk chicken is delicious; juices will make you feel amazing; cold brew coffee; a ginger shot called "Legalize It." What's not to love?

    Currently smashing a jerk chicken (spicy as hell, but not in a needless way) roti. Food is still fusion-y Caribbean but was better & more authentic than I've ever had here before. Also: great coffee.

    The back room is great for groups. But if you're stuck up front, hit the bar and get the cocktail with sake in it. Also, don't forget to check out the little shop of rasta oddities next door.

    Loud but the ultra delicious food and the coolest crew I've seen make it perfect for a fun night with friends, plus they have Ginger Beer. Totally worth it.

    Even better than I expected. The juices are fresh & low in pulp. The smoothies are also very flavorful. Friendly staff topped it off nicely!

    Such great, friendly and attentive service at the Juice Box! Get the delicious fish sandwich! But don't get the roti if you've actually had roti, cause it ain't a roti.

    This place can get pricey though I still love it. I'm addicted to the corn. The roti wraps are more filling than the rice platter IMO. Jerk chicken, goat curry all good

    Shitty, faux-hip vibe and terrible service, although the food is pretty tasty. I liked the jerk corn and the shrimp curry. ALSO: there's no real alcohol in the $13 cocktails, only soju, sake, & bonal.

    Easy in and out spot, great Jamaican roti's (burritos) if you like spicey do the chicken jerky otherwise the curry, and the banana pudding is perfect small desert finish

    Get the Jamaican breakfast! The festival was also amazing - almost as good (if not better) than the festival I had in Jamaica.

    Jerk is not the only way to go. There’s a vegan Bushman plate, steamed grouper, and oxtails layered with deep flavor from three days marinating in garlic, onion, scallion, ginger and carrot.-G. Greene Read more

    Miss Lily's wins. The service, the atmosphere, and the food are all wonderful. Also, love the rumors that Beyoncé had her bday upstairs.

    This Jamaican eatery hijacks huevos rancheros. Coconut milk added to a base of kidney beans. Crispy fried plantain strips, a pair of over-easy eggs and sliced avocado make it a meal. $12.
