“We had a fantastic experience at In Di Streets Restaurant, Bar & Grill. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel very welcome, and the whole place had such a lovely, friendly atmosphere. The staff were polite, attentive and very professional. We were there for their 1-year celebration buffet, and the food was absolutely delicious — incredibly fresh, full of flavour and with that proper home-cooked quality that makes such a difference. This was our first visit, but it definitely won’t be our last. We’ll be going back to try the regular menu very soon. Seriously, if you want great Jamaican food and a genuinely enjoyable eating experience, give In Di Streets a try. Highly recommended!”

“Such a great find!! Recommend anyone in the area to visit. The curry goat was 10/10🔥”
- Warimi Karogo
“I went with my boyfriend we had a lovely time! I had the jerk pork and my partner had the oxtail! We had the peppered prawns and plantain on the side as well. The peppered prawns were divine! The plantain was perfectly fried. My jerk pork melted in my mouth and the oxtail literally slid off the bone. As someone who doesn’t drink I was so happy that they were able to accommodate me and make the cocktail non alcoholic. It was delicious. 10/10 we will definitely be back”

“This was our first Jamaican food experience and this place set the bar very high! The food was mouthwatering delicious! We ordered oxtail Mac, jerk chicken, and festival and could not get enough of it! The music and excitement of eating such yummy food had me dancing in my seat the whole time and now I can't wait to recommend to everyone I know! Great service and beautifully decorated as well!”
