Real Authentic Jamaican food! When you don’t feel like cooking this is the place to go. The price, variety and flavor of the food here is phenomenal! You feel like family from the moment you enter. I recommend this place a thousand times whenever you in the mood for delicious home cooked Jamaican meal look no further! I can’t wait till Friday to try the lobster & shrimp soup

Extremely friendly staff with a welcoming atmosphere. I ordered the vegetarian wrap and they DELIVERED. The lady asked me what I could eat and when I told her "anything but meat" she was happy to make me a 'deluxe' wrap. I cannot describe in words how satisfied I was with my meal. 10/10, would go again (yes there was mac and cheese in the wrap )

Amazing! The brown stew chicken and boil dumplings is soooooo good! Tender and juicy and what a great flavor. Their peanut punch is the best peanut punch I’ve ever tasted! Excited to try more items on the menu. Thank you!!!!

We came down from Canada for vacation in Florida and we're feeling for Jamaican food. We came across Chelly's on Google and we're glad we did! My family had four different meals and all were AMAZING. (fried chicken, cow foot, oxtail and curry chicken.) They have alot of options to choose from and the taste was authentic and delicious. By far the best Jamaican food I've had. We'll definitly be back when ever we are in Florida.

Food and service was enjoyable for my first time experience. I had the curry chicken with peas and rice, cabbage, and plantains, along with a beef pattie and a Ting. The curry chicken had a good spice to it. I didn't care for the peas and carrots in the cabbage but it wasn't bad. Overall I enjoyed it. The only suggestion I have is for them to update their prices on their website as they reflect a few dollars cheaper on items than they actually are. There was a steady flow of locals as well. I definitely suggest it!

Love love love this place. Everything my family has had from Ox tails, brown stewed chicken, jerk chicken, fried chicken, and all the sides from dumplings to plantains always on point. I have nothing but positive pleased feedback. I haven't had a cod fritter in YEARS that would be my only request is if Chelly would add them to her menu. Other than that if your looking for the good stuff you will find it here. Matter fact I'm gonna order right now. Could go for my Jerk Chicken with rice & peas, plantain, cabbage, and dumpling with my side of brown stewed chicken gravy SO YUM.

I have traveled around Broward and Miami Dade county for several years searching for the best Caribbean restaurants, and it appears that I have finally found the best Jamaican restaurant. I’ve eaten at and reviewed dozens of Caribbean restaurants and even travel to Jamaica on a regular basis, and I know what authentic home-cooked food is. This has to be the most absolutely delightfully seasoned food I have tasted anywhere. I had the jerk chicken lunch and almost walked back in for another lunch order. The main reason I feel this is the best restaurant is because they make authentic home-cooked rice and peas, where you can really taste the coconut milk. I can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu items. The service was fast and very friendly. The ingredients are fresh and flavorful. The pricing is unbelievably reasonable , I would even say cheap, for the quality of the food which is high quality food.
