Reviews of King Solomon Kitchen
from GoogleLoved this Jamaican restaurant! The food was super delicious and so authentic. The jerk chicken was incredibly flavourful and perfectly seasoned. The fish with the sauce was amazing, I could eat that sauce with everything! Even the rice was full of flavour and really completed the meal. The biggest surprise was the fried plantain. It was so authentic and such a great side dish that added a real taste of Jamaica. The staff were very friendly, the place was clean, simple, and comfortable. Will definitely be coming back! 🇯🇲😋
I went late and randomly ordered the chicken with rice dish because I wasn’t sure what to get, and it turned out so delicious! I haven’t tried the other foods yet, but the meal I had was very flavorful and fresh. Friendly service too. I definitely recommend King Solomon Kitchen and will come back again!”
Came here with friends. Food didn't come out all at once, but it was worth the short wait and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. The Oxtail and snapper were delicious. I will definitely come back.
Chef Jabari is fantastic at flavouring the food perfect without overpowering the spice level chicken was so tender coleslaw was fresh and crunchy just an all around great meal also had the dumplings and that was also a nice touch to the ending service was pleasant from the front to the back of house thanks!
Some of the best Jamaican food in Calgary. The meat is always tender and the rice is flavourful. I don't like how the daily specials change on a whim when they can clearly serve all three options. Also every time I come I order to stay but they give it to me in a take out container anyway so the staff need to pay attention. Great hot sauce.
Great taste of Jamaican cuisine. Good company and vibes.
As a Jamaican I'll definitely go again,a taste of home away from home 💯 Great customer service 🇯🇲
Super great food. Best Jamaican food in Calgary!!!
Came in close to closing. They were sold out of their oxtail but the jerk chicken was the best chicken I've ever had in the city! Rice and salad on point! Will definitely be returning!
Came here with buddy that recommended this place. Have never had Jamaican food or at least long enough ago to not remember. We came here later in the day and it was quiet, they were almost closing soon. We ordered the Jamaican patty to share and both ordered the oxtail meal. Sat down and food came out within reasonable time. Got the Jamaican patty first. Nice filling with lots of spice and the pastry was good. It was homemade which was nice. Next was the oxtail, WOW! talk about flavor. The oxtail was perfectly cooked, tender but not disintegrating like the most tender steak you've ever had. Flavor was incredible with a deep rich flavor and lots of unique spices. Rice and peas were good too, lots of flavor just on its own. Plantains were nice, never had them before. Coleslaw was okay, I'm not a fan of coleslaw anyways so. We ended up chatting with the owner and Chef after and before we left, he came out with fresh fried chicken and we had to try it. Nice and juicy and very well seasoned. Owner was super nice by the way, could tell he was proud of whet he did and super passionate. Will be back, still thinking about that oxtail!
About King Solomon Kitchen
On Meridian Road NE, this halal Jamaican kitchen cooks jerk chicken, oxtail and curry goat with halal meat, a rare find for Caribbean food in Calgary.
Start with the oxtail and the snapper. The oxtail is tender and deeply flavoured, and the fish comes with a sauce that diners say they could eat with everything. The jerk chicken is tender and evenly spiced, and the rice is full of flavour. The homemade Jamaican patty and the fried plantains make good extras, and the dumplings round out the table.
What diners say
Diners praise the authentic flavours, the friendly service and a clean, simple room. One diner called the fried plantain the biggest surprise of the meal, and the coleslaw is fresh and crunchy. The hot sauce is worth asking for, and the owner, who is proud of the cooking, is happy to chat.
Good to know
Call ahead if you have a particular dish in mind, since the daily specials change. Dishes come out as they are ready, and diners say the short wait is worth it. The chef is praised for flavouring the food perfectly, without overpowering the spice.
