The enigma that is Kendall never ceases to surprise. It’s a place so vast, so varied, and so teeming with international enclaves that you could live in Miami your entire adult life and never understand all the bounty it holds. This point was driven home when I was introduced to Jamaica Kitchen, a narrow Jamaican fast-casual counter wedged into a strip mall on Sunset and Galloway.
Jamaica Kitchen has been in business for 50 years, and has seen a parade of Jamaican celebrities come through the door. Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives even featured it back in 2008. Still, after 25 years in Miami – some of those spent living in Kendall – I still hadn’t heard of it, which is a testament to how well a place can stay hidden in Southwest Dade.
How has this place been around for 50 years and I’ve never heard about it?
Jamaica Kitchen is definitely not a hidden gem for Kendallites in the know, and on a rainy Thursday afternoon…
