Darin Lewis: Mek Mi tell you, you’d think you were in Jamaica by just walking in the spot, then the food, will definitely put your imagination on the beaches of Jamaica it’s so tongue slap yo brains out delicious. It’s become one of my favorite restaurants.

rosalind latham: Bad decision 😪. I have been to this restaurant several times. I usually get the oxtail or jerk chicken. The last time i came the jerk chicken did not taste the same so I stopped buying it. I got the oxtails this time. I got home and opened my food and started to eat it. I tasted something burnt so I looked at the oxtail. They were burnt on the outside and they usually are cooked real tender, but not this time. I rubbed some of the sauce off and you could see that they were old and not freshly cooked. I tasted the rice that comes with it and it tasted like regular rice, not the Jamaican style rice I usually get with my order. I then tasted the cabbage and immediately spit it out, it tasted horrible! I was like, this can't be cooked by the same people that I ordered the same food from before! No way! Needless to say I was and still am soooooooo disappointed about my food! Will not go back after that. I had called in my order and still had to wait a while before I received it.

badmaanful: The food is seasoned very well. I feel like this COULD be amazing food. Perhaps we just had a bad batch. Our jerk chicken was all bone and our goat was all fat. Highly disappointed. I give two stars just because the seasoning was good.

M: Some of the best food I've eaten in STL, and I have had a lot over the years from many very fine dining establishments. Everything I had was excellent - jerk chicken, beans and brown rice, and steamed cabbage. I am quite full from the generous portions, but I nevertheless want more. I know I will be back soon. This place is LEGIT. Perhaps the best chicken I've ever eaten.

Ramone Hamilton: Jerk chicken was to die for

emmaster: The food is really delicious, but the portions have gone down. For two people, we paid a little over $31 for 2 plates of what is pictured. The first time we came here, there was a much bigger amount of chicken. Also, watch out for the chicken bones—each piece is filled with them and they are easy to choke on!

Kyle Johnson: Chez Ali is one of the underrated options within the City Foundry food hall. It is located on the far western end of the food hall, and I think the food items are among the more adventurous so they may not get as much traffic.I am far from an expert on Jamaican food, but my $14 plate of Jamaican jerk chicken, red beans and rice, and cabbage was outstanding!!! The chicken is flavored so, so well, and while you do have to be careful about the bones (as some people have lamely complained about on here), it's doable with a little bit of work. I am not a huge cabbage person, but mixing in the cabbage with the red beans and rice was delightful. I ate my whole plate over the course of 25 minutes and felt full and great the rest of the day! Chez Ali may not be at the top of people's list at the Foundry, but I would definitely work it into the rotation.

Marissa Brown: Good food. Only complaint is you don’t know if they will have oxtails until you are there. There’s no schedule they have for them. There’s no way to call and check. There’s no update on a website. You just have to make the drive and hope for the best. If they could be more consistent with their menu, that would be great!

Jerry Stamson: Jerk Chicken was amazing. Wonderful food.

Misa Mirzaee: I know them from the beginning! Every time I went there, they have something to surprise me! Love their chikens, they know what they are doing! So delicious.

James Morris: My wife had the oxtails and I had the curry chicken. We will DEFINITELY be back. I'm bad about remembering to bring leftovers to work... you bet I remembered to grab this out of the fridge in the morning!

Josephine Tsang: the yassa chicken tho

KLL: On Monday Nov 21, 2022 around 2:15, 2:30 I arrived at this place. I was so excited to find some jerk chicken and cabbage. Unfortunately I didnt get to try the food. The girl there was sooooo mean, rude, and very unprofessional. I must say that had to be tge worst customer service I ever experienced. No hello, nothing, no one was in line. She looked at me and said wait and never took my order. SHE SHOULD BE ASHAMED TO HAVE SUCH A BAD DISPOSITION. ITS ACTUALLY PRETTY PATHETIC. I WONT RETURN.

W. Robert: Flavors were excellent, no denying that, BUT, there were dozens of chicken bone shards throughout our dishes and multiple pieces of chicken still had feathers on them, so we were unable to actually eat our meals. I'm sure some folks enjoy the extra challenge, but that was the most painful and nearly tooth-cracking meal we have ever had. I talked with the young woman at the counter and she was "politely" dismissive about my concerns without resolving the issue. See photos of bones meticulously picked out of rice and sauce and some of the chicken feathers. We spent more time avoiding bones than eating, and threw away most of our meals. A refund or offer to remake on a future date after making a new batch with better quality control was all I was asking for, but that didn't happen.Also, there were no dividers in the styrofoam container, so all the cabbage, chicken, sauce, and beans & rice blended together into one mess. While still good flavors mixed up, it would have been nice to actually try the individual components separately.0 stars for quality/safety/enjoyability of food, slopping food together, and refusal to resolve the problem.

Lauren Bowers: Lots of food & decently priced! Is has the chicken sampler which was $17. It came with Yassa chicken (lemon pepper & Dijon flavors), curry chicken, jerk chicken, cabbage, and rice. It was good & I’ll definitely be back.Vegetarian options: They had vegetarian samosas

Cid Osborne: I love this restaurant. The food is really good, the restaurant is extremely clean. The owner is extremely nice. I was telling him about a bad experience I had at a previous restaurant right before we came to his and he gave me and my coworker a free fresh juice. I totally didn’t expect that.

Joshua Levi: Went at a good time. Noone was in line. Cashier took my order patiently, then told me it would be about 5 mins. Received the food in a timely manner. It was nice and warm. Everything was good, besides the fact that they don't put the jerk sauce on the chicken. They put it in a itty bitty cup on the side. I order two leg quarters and all's they gave me was the one cup. The spicy cabbage and Mac and cheese was fire, though. I think if they would have put the sauce on the chicken and cooked it through, it would have been extremely delicious, because the sauce was super fire!! All in all, good experience. I think when I go back I'm going to get the jerk chicken pasta or jerk philly. My neighbor said it's real good, so we'll see.Parking: Enough parking all in front and on the side.Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp going into establishment.

badmaanful: Definitely the spot right here. Jerk chicken is worth it. Oxtail is worth is. There custom sauce is fire. There sides are fire. This the spot. Only thing I didn't like was the lamb.

Sean Seagrave: Best jerk chicken in STL! Oxtail and Curry Goat were also amazing. All the sides were good, especially the mac and cheese and sweet plantains. Beef patties were flaky and you can taste the scotch bonnet peppers in the filling. Will definitely be trying the entire menu at this place.

Sierra Heider: The food was so good, and the man who served us was amazing.

Von 4K: The food is really good reminds me of my home country

Nikki BANG: I would have given 5 stars, but the Escovitch fish I ordered promised a crispy skin, but it was baked jnstead. A little disappointing, but overall, their food is pretty good. Great staff and great serviceFood: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Michael Kehoe: We have gotten delivery from here multiple times now and it scratches all the itches. The sides alone are worth it, not a single bad one in the bunch. The entrees are simply divine. Our favorite sides are the greens, plantains, or the sweet potatoes, but none of them are bad. The Coconut Rice & Peas are divine. Value for dollar on the portions is great too. Do not sleep on this place. They are on our list of regular dinner places so that they stay in business.

Sub Squad: Fresh and the best! You have a new loyal customer for sure.

Brian Kelley: Had the wings, plantains and corn. Everything was really good and the portion was filling!There is only take out or delivery via DoorDash, but they clearly state so on their site. That was my fault for overlooking it. I live over an hour away, so I will plan better next time and find a local park to eat at. Definitely worth your time!

James & Alesha Kinnard: We heard so many good things about the restaurant, so we decided to try it today. Unfortunately, while me husband was eating his jerk chicken wings we discovered 3 strands of hair in his food. He did say the food was good but is the principle, someone is not wearing a hair net and I had to call to make them aware. I asked for the manager and made the young lady that answered the phone aware of what took place. When she returned from putting me on hold, she rudely explained I needed to bring the food back to receive any kind of credit. I told her my husband ate most of his food and we only wanted a credit for the jerk chicken wings plate. She rudely said again no matter which way we resolve this you still have to bring back the food. There was no apology and she was the rudest, attitude having little girl that obviously needs some customer service etiquette classes. Why is it always us blacks who treat each other in this manner? I spent $68 for two meals and two pieces of cake and this is how you treat me. I don't care how good those chicken wings were you would never get my money again.

Joyce Nash: Picked up some food today and the box was open and some of my oxtails fell out.But it cannot be replaced because it left the store.This is not to put down the restaurant because I will go back again, but the boxes needs to be secured when bagging and if the policy is not to replace the food, then there need to be a policy for carelessness. thanksParking: Very good parking

Lenette Cain: The Jerk Tacos never Disappoints!I ate them so fast , they are so delicious and I keep forgetting to take a photo!

Ericka Nash: Everything kinda went sideways when I ordered, and it was from them having a large party before me and me being too tired to correctly double-check my receipt. I got my food 30 minutes past the estimated time, and the order was wrong. The bartender knew I wanted shrimp tacos (she mentioned them a couple of times) but got me chicken instead. And my veggie pattie was overcooked.
