The Jerk Shack

Maybe it’s me not them but I didn’t enjoy the oxtail at all
The sweet mash potato was basic AF

Stick with the fish dishes and rice…those are really good

Great cocktails too!

Very beautiful and cozy space....has indoor and outdoor sections. I personally prefer staying indoors. Best to visit in the evening to enjoy the ambience and lighting.

It's very close to Jevenik and in the same building as Bleu Cafe and Hootas.

Menu is Carribean......enjoyed the goat curry the first time I visited. Tried the plantain and cashew sauce (can't remember the exact name) and enjoyed every bit of it.

Wait time is about 25minutes.

6 - 8k should do for food and drinks per head!

Pleasant experience as usual!! The Caribbean wash cocktail is my favourite but tried the mocktail (virgin) version called the wash and loved it! My friend had the tequila sunrise and it was all dressed up with no where to go ????! She loved it!

In the beginning I was wondering where I was being led to, but started enjoying my view from the steps down. The outdoor sitting, shades, some bit of murals by the stairs and flowers, I LOVE flowers. Then I noticed the hanging sign 'The Jerk shack'. Stepped in to this rather Picturesque cozy indoor. Loved the simplicity of the designs. Greeted by polite staff, menu on a tablet and all. Had amazing goat curry sauce with basmati rice and a Guiness punch, my friend had tasty chicken wings and some citrus/cucumber/mint drink. I must mention that the music selection was so nice we were singing along at some point.

The Jerk shack is a nice quaint restaurant with a Caribbean themed menu. It’s set in the basement of the building which shields it from the hustle and bustle of the busy street.

Pop into the jerk shack if you’re looking to eat something different or just in the mood for a Caribbean flavour.

Staff are nice and friendly. Cash and cards are accepted. No wheel chair accessible entrance but there’s adequate parking.

It had the Caribbean feel to it; wooden floors, glass doors, reggae music and very well designed.
The staff were very courteous and helpful, plus I really liked the drinks.
As for the food, it was okay and cost an average of 4,000 naira for the main course with sides (rice, plantain etc) . The chicken I ate was surprisingly well cooked, though a bit pricey for the portion served. But it's worth trying out for a different experience.

As a lover of Caribbean food, I didn’t hesitate to try this new joint in my city.
This place has potential and I foresee them gaining prominence in Abuja. However, as much I loved the ambience and the staff who were ever so courteous, I waited too long to get someone to take the orders and after that it took another 45mins for the food we ordered. It seemed like everything we asked for, even cutlery,took nothing less than 20-45 mins to come. I was with friends so we had conversations to drown the wait but I imagine if I was dining alone, I wouldn’t have been so patient.
Also, their cocktails had 0-0.1% of alcohol in them, or at least the ones we tried. With how pricey this place is, I think their food and drinks could live up to the service anticipated.
