The small interior does not reflect the huge flavors of this magnificent food. I had the Jerk Chicken and it was spiced perfectly and extremely juicy. The peas and rice were fantastic. Tried a bit of my fiancee's curry goat and it was great. Could not have had better service or a more pleasant experience. Highly recommended!

The food is always fresh and flavorful. The serving size is worth the money. Great customer service from the staff and owner.

Walking in you think you left Greenville and transported to the island of Jamaica. Brought our grandson here for a birthday lunch at his request. I have been here before but my wife had not. We got 3 jerk chicken plates and 3 beef patties. The food is so flavorful, meat is tender. The cabbage is always so good. As always, everyone working here is super friendly, customer service is top notch. The owner loves cooking but I think he loves knowing what he cooked is pleasing to his customers even more. He brought out a sample plate of oxtails and some of his special sauce so my wife could try it, we were halfway done with our meal but he wanted us to try it since we all had the same chicken plate. The man knows what he is doing in the kitchen here, everything is/was awesome. If you haven’t tried it you are missing out.

I should've taken the picture before I did this review, but this food was so delicious. I had to dive right into it! I've been eating Jamaican food for a while and hands-down...this is the best brown stew chicken I have ever had!! I can't wait to go back tomorrow and get some more!!

Home cooked meal with LOVE!! We were visiting from out of town and came across this hole in the wall diamond of a restaurant! Super tiny and it had all the small family privately owned vibe to it. Everything was clean with few tables for dining in. We chose to dine in since we were about to head back home. The food was beyond amazing and delicious. Flavors were well balanced and you can - without a doubt- taste the love and care that went into the food. I had the jerk chicken wings lunch and EVERYTHING - I mean EVERYTHING in my plate was delicious. I was doing my happy food happy belly dance and seriously kept saying yum after every bite. The tropical lemonade was also the PERFECT compliment to balance the heat and flavors. The cabbage was unlike anything I’ve ever had and it was hands down delish! Even down to the plantains which I usually avoid but this- THESE plantains were a hit in my mouth! Chef/owner Lawrence came out to greet us and you can absolutely feel the love of a home cooked meal through his dishes but also his personality. It's so RARE to feel that WARMTH from food or a restaurant but he was absolutely RADIATING it. Even the other gentleman behind the counter checked on us frequently to make sure we needed anything. They all talked to us like we were family and that we’ve known each other since forever! We couldn't ask for a better way to end our short visit in Greenville than this! THIS PLACE IS A MUST!!! Next time we are in town, we shall return!! Thank you IRIE! Def head to the W Antrim location as they are different from the other ones. This is a family owned establishment that cooks with love and gives you the “from home with love” happy feels and vibe!

Oxtail has been one of my favorite meats since moving to the area, and this place is delicious! Their large serving was enough for two meals for me. The sauce its in is thick and flavorful. The rice and cabbage served with it is also really good. The jerk chicken is spicy, and also really good flavor. I definitely want to come back and try more of their unique sodas too.

Where do I begin? Little spot with 5 tables for dine in. But the food that is coming out of the kitchen is as big as Greenville! The oxtails was nice and tender seasoned just right the cabbage the plantains were amazing. The curry goat was also seasoned to perfection nice and tender. The beef patty was very flaky and fresh. The brown stew chicken is the best I’ve had in a very long time it was fresh and seasoned to perfection as well. The tropical lemonade is a hit as well. This was the BEST JAMAICAN FOOD WE HAD IN A VERY GERY LONG TIME other than my husband. The owner is friendly, pleasant and very personable you can definitely tell that he loves cooking and meeting new people. Will definitely be back and to anyone reading this post Irie Caribbean Cuisine is a must try

The food here was amazing. I called my order in right after work and my food was fresh and hot once I got there. The curry chicken was very tender and flavorful, as well as the rice & beans with cabbage/plantains. Service here was amazing everyone was very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend coming here.
