The Jamaican Pot in Detroit is a testimony that the Detroit foodie scene is alive and thriving and serving exceptional food you won't find anywhere else but in the Motorcity. Lovefood says:

Detroit was once (perhaps unfairly) dubbed a 'food desert,' but it's far from that now, with a wave of swish small plate restaurants appearing alongside longstanding (and new) mom-and-pop stops. Among them is The Jamaican Pot, opened by husband-and-wife team Rose Forrest – aka Mama Rose – and Bruce Cunningham in 2014. The place is loved for its boneless jerk chicken, curry goat, and red snapper dishes.

Customers rave about the perfectly cooked Oxtail, flavorful plantains, and a warm cup of red bean soup.

Enjoy a delicious sweet treat to end your meal with a sweet potato brownie or an Oreo Cake loaded with cookies and cream.

Stop in for an unforgettable meal at one of the best mom-and-pop restaurants in America and the Great Lakes state, The Jamaican Pot.
