Jambo Grill

Our server Daniel put up with all of our million questions as well as putting him on the spot to make the menu decision for us. He was so patient with our group. Service made eating here the best choice. Best meat patties hands down. I even warmed up 2 patties a day later. Soooo Good. The goat was so tender with rice and cabbage it was the star at our table. We also ordered the lemon pepper wings with their sweet chili sauce. Next time I want to order sweet chili wings, that sauce was everything; I even used it on my chicken meat patty. My least favorite dish was the jollof rice with fried chicken wings nothing was seasoned. We also liked the plantains. The fufu was fresh and warm. I also ordered the Suyan Beef Kabobs to go with mac and cheese for my son. The veggies and beef made the car smell amazing OTW home. It was also tasty. One of the owners made a round of Jello shots that were serious. All of our drinks were well made we ordered both sunrises, liquid marijuanas and a passion fruit.

The Jamaican beef patties are good. The crust is buttery and crunchy the filling is savory and spicy and just taste very yummy. The chicken curry was not my favorite neither was the spinach or Mac, but I did love the customer service she was pleasant and patient and friendly. The environment was very clean and inviting. There was great music and a nice drink menu.

I am originally from Brooklyn, NY. Trying to find diverse foods in Birmingham that is delicious is somewhat a difficult task. I’ve never dined in however I order takeout quite often. The staff are very pleasant and welcoming and the food is wonderful. I love the samosas, the authentic African pepper sauce as well as the lamb chops and jollof rice. I pray this establishment succeeds and I will continue to support and recommend.

Go and give it a try. 8/4/22 they are still in their opening phase offering only a reduced menu, at least for lunch. The friendly waitress did not lose a step when I mentioned that I am a vegetarian but offered a rice, bean and cabbage plate. I paired the recommendation with a Jamaican ginger ale and asked for a hot sauce. The rice & beans as well as the cabbage & carrots were cleanly cooked and gently seasoned. The satisfying meal came in at a modest $6 but I am happy to pay more for vegetarian options with bolder flavors and more interesting ingredients. We'll see if they get a 5 star at my next visit.

Located within a strip mall on Montgomery Highway near Hobby Lobby. The restaurant opened at 1pm. This restaurant is relatively new to this area. The table service was a bit slow but based on the different types of cuisine, it is expected. The dishes vary between African, Indian, and Jamaican spices. It's well worth it if you are patient. We tried Egusi w/ goat & Fufu, jollof rice w/ lamb chops, jerk chicken w/ Jollof & plantains, and chicken curry. The Jollof was okay, as we prefer a little more heat. The winner was the egusi w/leaf and chicken curry. It's worth a try, especially if you are craving those spices and flavors.
