Norah's Irie Jamaican Restaurant - Jamaican restaurant in Long Branch - 530 Springdale Ave, USA

I order from this restaurant and the experience was amazing. The lady is so sweet and helpful. They accept both cash and card. Their Ox tail is amazing, so juicy and flavorful. Their plantains are so delicious too. Everything is good. Authentic Jamaican food tastes like homemade.

Best Jamaican food I’ve personally ever had and the first time my wife has ever cleaned her plate. I loved the owner, so warm, welcoming and adorable in general. This place deserves a better rating.

When we went to the restaurant we were looking at menu and were talking to each other and the lady went into the back and started cooking what we were talking about. When I asked her a question she was condescending with her answer. I ordered BBQ chicken platter. It was nasty. My rice was completed covered in BBQ sauce.i couldn’t even eat it..I told her to forget the Mac and cheese and she still charged me for it. My boyfriend order the jerk chicken platter his chicken was not completely cooked and his whole tray was covered in jerk sauce. We called her to let her know about it and she didn’t care she shrugged us off and didn’t want to be bothered. We will never go here again.. Unprofessional…

The food was stellar. Rich, spicy, great texture and tenderness. A lot of love went into. Tried the curried goat, oxtail and jerk chicken along with the sides. Really worth the detour on our drive to eat here. The woman that seemed to run the place made it a great experience and full of personal warmth.

The food is amazing. You get a good portion. One of these meals can feed 2 people. I got the oxtail with rice and I got the curry chicken with rice. Me and my family split it.

The flavor in their food was so delicious!! The jerk chicken was just the right amount of spicy!! If you don’t like spicy get the oxtails, those were well seasoned and scrumptious!!

My fiancé took me here on a whim stating this was the best spot for authentic Jamaican food, it was delicious! Really tasted a lot like my Cuban roots believe it or not. Guess it’s a Caribbean thing! Nora was so graceful as soon as we walked through the door. She treats you like family as soon as you walk through the door. The art work and colors in here make you forget we are in Jersey. So happy I was able to experience this. Thank you!

To all you locals, you are so blessed to have Norah as a neighbor. Such a beautiful person and a wonderful soul. I haven't had delicious homemade island food like that since we were able to travel. I can't wait to go back. I'm glad we bought a lot of food. We will have leftovers for two more days. Everything we purchased was just fantastic the stewed beef, the jerk pork and the rice and peas... Always Staples when I'm down in the islands. Norah's did not disappoint by any stretch. As a matter of fact, there's a flavor in there that just makes hers over the top. Maybe it's love? Don't be afraid of anything on the menu, if there's something you haven't had, give it a shot. I don't think there's any way that something out of her kitchen could disappoint. Make sure if it's a banana bread day you take advantage.. her homemade rum cake is over the top and her homemade ginger beer is spicy and delicious. Come the nicer weather I will be buying that by the bucket load... God bless you Norah! I can't wait to be back! -Mike
