About Finger Licking Kitchen & Jerk Centre
Jerk chicken anchors the menu at Finger Licking Kitchen & Jerk Centre, a Caribbean restaurant on Lower Ford Street in Coventry. Homemade drinks are made in house, including a pineapple and ginger juice that pairs with the Jerk Chicken with Rice and Peas. The kitchen works through a short list of around eight dishes, with Oxtail and Rice and Peas alongside curry goat, ackee and saltfish and escovitch fish. Sides and extras fill out an order, from Fried Dumplings and Seasoned Veg to mac and cheese and a Lamb Pattie. Orders are placed on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken, and meals are packed into boxes or containers to carry out. The doors open daily.

Customer Review Summary
The criticism centers on value and consistency. One reviewer says the jerk chicken tasted old and dry, as if cooked days earlier, and the oxtail had only small pieces of meat. Another reports a box of rice and peas with a single chicken leg that felt too steep, and a third found only two or three tiny pieces of meat in each box. One reviewer found the dumplings large, doughy and under-salted, and the escovitch fish needed more seasoning.

“Pains me to write this review but I hope this helps improve their food quality. The jerk chicken was old and dry, meaning they gave me chicken that was cooked days ago. The oxtail only had small meat pieces and was lackluster. Very disappointing”
