D & H Jamaican Cuisine - Jamaican restaurant in Newark - 748 E Chestnut Hill Rd, USA

Hands down the best chicken I've ever had which seems wild to say on a google review. The meat is just seasoned to the point where you can't stop eating it. Get the jerk chicken. Beef patty is cool but not the main event

UPDATE: 10/06/2023 - Added some more photographs from our visit last Friday. This place rocks and their jerk sauce is awesome. I've got three "other" bottles of jerk sauce in the refrigerator at home and none of them compare to this. It's not sweet, and just the right amount of spice. One of my favorites is the jerk pork side dish along with one or two of the beef patties. And it's always better when our favorite staff member, Jeannie, is the one bringing it to us. She does an awesome job! UPDATE 06/30/2023 - Google asked me to update this review. No changes. Went there tonight with my son. Same great food and service. Reasonable prices. UPDATE 04/22/2023 - Google asked me to update this review. Not a lot to update. The place still rocks, the lady taking care of us already knew our orders, etc. I can't imagine going anywhere else for Jamaican. UPDATE: 02/11/2023 - Google asked me to update this. Still decent food and service. It's a nice, laid back atmosphere. I had several "meat patties" this evening with a couple rum and Cokes. I like them (the meat patties )because for me at least, they're low volume in terms of how much weight I put on with eating them. My son got the jerk wings with rice. Great food and service and we were served reasonably fast.

Only complaint is that they always run out of Mac and cheese before I arrive but that's expected when the food is good! Came two days in a row and enjoyed everything! Oxtails were seasoned to perfection! Best gravy I've tasted in awhile. The jerk whole wings aren't for the weak!! They're firey and will have your nose running!.. Definitely ordering them again! Also try the rum punch! UPDATE! So on my 3rd visit within 2 months (because i really love the food and vibes) I was able to order Mac & Cheese and loved it! Cheesy and seasoned! Tried the Gummy Bear drink this time..my new favorite! Highly recommend!

I’ve been away from Delaware for 8 years. When I was there this was my to go spot for Jamaican food. When visiting home I brought my friend with me and told them about this spot and she’d love the food. One of my friends that still lives there told us not to go because it’s not the same. Needless to say, I surprised and embarrassed. I’am extremely disappointed with this restaurant. This is my last time. The food is gross, the bathrooms are dirty and the atmosphere is terrible. I made my final decision and I will never recommend anyone that comes to town to visit there nor will ever be back.

Stopped in craving Jamaican food. The atmosphere was nice, it's connected to a bar. There was music playing and drinks being served. I ordered ahead, so we didn't need seats. But our order was ready when we got there. Everything was delicious. Well worth the money! Not too expensive either.

I don't know how this place have 4 stars ...If it was possible to give it 0 star I would. I thought I had bad Jamaican food before ,well the worst that I had before that compare to this place , this place made what I thought was worse looks good .... Didn't taste like Jamaican food at all and didn't taste fresh at all....taste like the food was cooked a weeks ago. My girlfriend ate 3% of her food and threw the rest away. I ate 7% and didn't even want to give the rest to the dogs and just threw them in the trash ... Not just the food was bad,but the customer service was a 1/10.... AVOID THIS PLACE CAUSE I'M SYRE ANY OTHER JAMAICAN PLACE IS BETTER ....NO WAY IT CAN GET WORSE THEN THIS.

First impressions of a restaurant is a lasting one. I walked in the restaurant with a family member. We stood at the bar and no acknowledgement from bar tender. We walked over to the take out section and that is when she rudely took my order. I asked what came with the dinner and I guess that was the problem her tone and attitude was unappreciated. So I reciprocated the same energy she was giving. That is when she changed her demeanor. I would not go to this restaurant again. Very disappointing for a 1st visit. She need to enroll back into Hospitality Classes and the company need to give customer service refresher course.

Never again. They messed up the order then corrected it with mediocrity. This is my first time ordering D&H. For one they got my order wrong. I ordered oxtails, rice and plantains, they gave me jerk chicken and rice. Sent my boyfriend back to get my corrected order. They had the nerve to give him attitude because they inconvenienced us…They only gave me 1 large oxtail and two small ones and 2 plantains. I told them to put a lot of sauce on the rice…no sauce on the rice. Told them NO cabbage, still added cabbage under the rice. Not satisfied. My boyfriend and his father said that the customer service was very poor and they were rushing their customers at 5pm…. Can’t say I’ll visit them again. I will be driving all the way to Philly for good Jamaican food now. Can’t do it.
