Paradise Jamaican Restaurant — Restaurant in Philadelphia

I came from out of town, very hungry, wanting something to eat before heading home. Went into this restaurant. First of all, the cashier at the front desk didn't know who I was. Im a public figure. She took my money after I ordered peas and rice..sniffed her nose then wipede her nose with her bare hands. I then saw her go to the back, pour my rice into the bowl, and bring it back to me. What a nasty atmosphere. In my widest dream, I would never buy food there again once I am alive. I eventually took the food and emptied it in the trash outside across the street. Then she will tell me she washed her hands in the back and she is the manager. First of all, what is the manager wearing short leggings pants at a restaurant. Also, she was very rude and unprofessional. She should not be serving food and handling money. What a disgusting way of hanging good. In addition. The food looks uncomfortable to eat. The food is nasty...

Place was A clean take out place but food overall was below average. I ordered a curry chicken rice and peas and string beans and a chicken patty. they gave me a beef patty instead of chicken maybe that was a mistake as the people attending to me were nice. The string beans were fresh no complaints there but the curry chicken was so watered down I wondered did they run out of curry powder, thankfully it had carrots and actual potatoes in it, I asked for extra gravy but because the curry was so watery it basically did nothing but wet the rice. would’ve tried other things if this visit went well but I’m guessing the curry goat would be weak too after this experience with the chicken. I would prolly just stick to the jerk wings and veggie Patties if I went back really would like to find a new closer spot for Jamaican near home but looks like ima have to continue driving down to Logan to Jus Right for a more authentic...

I have been going to Paradise Restaurant for a very very long time. The reason I continue to go to Paradise is for several reasons as follows: Food is PHENOMENAL, quality is ALWAYS fresh, the portions are beyond adequate so much so that I could never finish my meal in one sitting even on my hungriest days, the Prices are fair market and one does not need klarna to make payment arrangements and LASTLY not exclusively the customer service is fantastic. It's like visiting FAMILY when I go....if you want great island food prepared and served by hard working and friendly people that CARE about the foods they serve with pride then I beg you to stop by PARADISE CARRIBBEAN RESTAURANT and let my food family feed you and yours 😁 you will not regret it....
