2 months agoThe oxtails were rich, tender, and packed with deep, savory flavor-slow-cooked just right so the meat was perfectly seasoned and fell off the bone. The portion size was just right, leaving you full without feeling overwhelmed. Jerk chicken is so good and tender as well. The flavor is unmatched. I have also tried the curry chicken extra spicy and honestly this is one of my favs. The flavors in the curry are just so yum. The rice and pease is by far the best I’ve ever had . It’s like a dance party in your mouth. The flavors blend so well. I’ve never had Rice n pease that good It was full of flavor with a texture that was absolutely on point-not mushy, not dry, just perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. The fried dumpling came out warm and soft with a subtle hint of sweetness that balanced the meal beautifully. The cabbage was fresh, vibrant, and flavorful, adding a nice lightness to the plate. Every element worked together, showing care in both seasoning and preparation. If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food this place is it!

5 months agoThe food is absolutely amazing! I had the stew chicken and it is a must try if you are new to Jamaican food or have been enjoying the cuisine for years. This restaurant has the best side selection I’ve ever been offered, complete with rice and peas, cabbage, fried plantain and fried dumpling.

5 months agoI’ve been eating here for years. Recently the name changed but I heard it’s the same people not sure. I love Tony. But I ordered yesterday at Melo’s and it’s different not the same as before not bad as in flavor. But I paid over 20$ for jerk chicken and it was mostly bones big bones no meat and barely any cabbage. Needless to say after paying for this I was still hungry. I kept trying to scrape the little bits of meat of the bones. Not sure I’ll be going back. It’s disappointing and hard to find good Jamaican food in New London. Definitely miss my boy from Broad Street.

a year agoHonestly haven't eaten much Jamaican food until the past 6 months or so. Since I have started trying different spots I can say out of like a half dozen spots between here and Hartford and Boston this one was the best tasting and the best value. I had the jerk pork with cabbage and a little rice. I will come again!

3 years agoI had not eaten Jamacian food in many years before coming to Tony's about a month ago. My first meal from there was jerk chicken and cabbage. The chicken fell off the bone and melted in my mouth. Spiced perfectly. The cabbage became a must-have at first bite. Since then, I have had dumplings, corn porridge, some baked goods, and the rice. Nothing will ever disappoint from there. Tony and his wife are so pleasant, it's always a great experience when I go in.

4 years agoThis is a takeout review. All food is eaten fresh in the vehicle. I ordered curry chicken and Jerk Pork. The chicken was really good. It just fell off the bone and was very tasty. The pork was outstanding. Great flavor, plenty of food, and just excellent. A great food experience. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 9.1.

Edited 3 years agoUpdate: The food here is excellent. The jerk chicken is absolutely amazing but if you can, order directly from the restaurant. Don't use doordash or any food delivery app. Tony's does a very poor job at interfacing with customers though the doordash app. They would run out of popular items but the doordash app would not reflect it and you'll end up not receiving what you order. The beef pattie and oxtail are just okay but that jerk chicken is the best I ever had ever, anywhere. Update: after trying other Caribbean/Jamaican restaurants through out the rest of my travels, I just wanted to come back and say Tony jerk chicken night be the best in the whole wide world. I was only here for a short while for school and I was ordering from Tony at least 2x a week. I would visit Connecticut just to eat here. It's worth the travel.

5 years agoSo happy we found this restaurant. I got the chicken curry dinner and my friend got the goat (he loved it and won't stop raving about it!!). The portions were very good for the price and the service was good. Just wish I got a chicken patty as well. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely stop by again.
