One time we rode a Citi Bike to Miss Lily's, docked it out front at 7th St and Ave A, was seated next to super model Adriana Lima, and had the best jerk chicken . It was a great day!

What a fun brunch spot ! With a meal you can add an unlimited brunch cocktail for $15! Loved their version of a bloody mary ! Really spicy with a hint of sweetness!

Giovanni D'Palma

The jerk chicken roti is mind blowing but honestly any item on the menu has been great. Atmosphere and staff make this place a solid choice for any occasion

e Miss Lily's standards plus new dishes like grilled mackerel with "run down sauce," and a Jamaican patty melt . The colorful interior is the work of Serge Becker, who's on board as creative director. Read more

Michael Constantine

Very interesting take on Jamaican cuisine. I wanted to try everything on the menu! I truly enjoyed the jerk chicken and fried plantains with ackee dip but the fritters were amazing!

Marie La Rue

Festive Caribbean spot in East Village . Order plates to share. Don’t miss the jerk corn . Kale salad was fresh and fish tacos crispy but a bit oily. OK cocktails . Stylish and cool staff .

Alex

jerk chicken wings , oxtail stew , curry goat , macaroni pie .. all delish. they even have jerk chicken ramen . Frozen dark & stormy during happy hour is $7. oh, and put pepper sauce on everything tbh.

Kayleigh Harrington

First time? Get the jerk chicken . Second time? Jerk chicken . Third time? The burger with spicy fries is a nice way to change it up.

Duane

The ackee hummus was an unexpected delight - we couldn't get enough! My escoveitch fish was well done - tasted just like what I would get on a Jamaican beach .

Beth K

I got the Jamaican breakfast : ackee (fruit ) and salt fish , plantains , callaloo (leaf veggies ). Balanced, and light. Def come here for your birthday too for a party surprise. Good vibes, good music .

Marie Porras

Great jerk chicken , jerk corn , plantain . Love their dark'n'stormy . Staff is super nice. Deco is fun. Great place for friends night out.

Mike McBryan

Was surprised to find this place so busy late on a Sunday night - but understood the appeal after ordered. The oxtail stew , shrimp (buss up shot) and mackerel were all great. Fun atmosphere as well .

Kyle Cameron Studstill

Jerk patty with Gruyere—incredible. And brilliant with the crushed scotch bonnet pepper , be sure to ask for it!

Mo Goodman

Great brunch . Try the Jamaican breakfast can't go wrong. For 15$ you can do unlimited drinks for an hour. Staff are all very friendly and fast

Tina Hilll

Definitely try the jerk corn . Grilled corn on a stick with a little sweet of coconut along with a kick. Oxtail stew was enjoyed by the table. Thought fish tacos were good as well .

Lyndsie Harris

Awesome atmosphere. Friendly service . We got the Jamaican ranchero , the breakfast roti , and a side of jerk pork . If we came back, we would do it again. Amazing breakfast .

Missy Mackey

Went for brunch . Did not know Caribbean food could be THIS GOOD. I got the jerk chicken with spicy cucumber salad , rice and chutney , it was unreal. Bartender was also cool.

Siettah

Not really authentic Caribbean but the food is good. If you're looking for heaping piles of juicy meat with rice and peas this isn't your place. Enjoyed the drinks. Pictured is the patty melt

Ranu Rajkarnikar

Brunch here is great! Happy vibe, friendly staff . Get the festivals to start, then the Jamaican rancheros and breakfast roti burrito are great, free coffee refills too!

Bub

Jerk corn was good-add some of the table hot sauce for a little spice. Jerk chicken wings were saucy and good! West Indian curried shrimp was okay- could’ve used a little more flavor. Try the roti !

Ms Helene

Buffet of unusual sides made a great meal: fried plaintains , grilled pineapple coleslaw and fresh vegetable quinoa salad . $5 each.

Claire J Song

Add $15 dollars to the purchase of an entrée at either of these downtown Jamaican joints for unlimited One Love Bellinis (champagne and passion fruit puree) or Hotsteppers (soju and Bloody Mary mix ).

Danielle

Definitely a place you wanna be. Hang out at the juice box, listen to their radio station , or have dinner next door. Something for everyone. One of those "cool" NYC spots.

Nate Beatty

I love this place. It's relaxing, great vibe, and I have been known to make a meal out of $1 wings and punch at happy hour . Also, the jerk wings are Sooo good

Natalie Freilich

If you want to get things jumpin' by dinner time head here. Coco Lily was my drink of choice and of course the jerk chicken . Get a side of plantains to boot.

Russell Hirschorn

Corn and pork is a must. Whole fish is bomb. Escovitch and mac n cheese needs some work. Service is excellent. Will fulfill your jerk fix for sure.

Justin Breton

You'd be dumb not to order the coconut-covered grilled corn . It's so good. ???? ???? ????

Tom Lee

Is it a surprise I had the best jerk chicken here? Super moist, tender (even the breast - I know). Sauce was perfect. And surprisingly the service was great! !

Deep Gujral

The brunch here is amazing. For only $15 extra you get the all you can drink (aycd ) option. Highly recommended the traditional Jamaican breakfast items .

Talia Fisher

As a Mac and cheese connoisseur, I can tell you that the Mac and cheese pie is more than worth it as a side. Also, get the damn corn .

Devonta

LISTEN... You cannot go wrong with the Jerk Grilled Corn , Fritters , Vegetable Stew or Oxtail Stew . Everything was amazing. 2nd visit here.

Farhat Sikder

We got the jerk corn , jerk chicken , the spicy shrimp and the Mac and cheese pie . They were all good just felt it was overpriced. Service and atmosphere is really great though.

Sparkie

Miss Lily's, fills the gap with Caribbean fare. The menu ranges from a burger to coconut pancakes , and of course jerk chicken .

Aditi

HOLY JERK CHICKEN !!!! I haven't enjoyed chicken like that in a longtime. Come at night for great drinks and even better reggae tunes .

Nazli Oguz

Great and fast service , unlimited cocktails for brunch and delicious food, jerk chicken rotti and coconut pancake are amazing

Jean L

Love the Jamaican vibe here and wonderful music . Great places for dinner . Or just hanging out with drinks and apps. Good date spot .

Syd Leigh

The corn is a must. My favorite was the jerk chicken wings . The banana pudding is pretty good too.

María Troncoso Gibbs

Plantain chips are amazing! And everything else really. I had the appetizer tacos that are gluten free (and corn free) they were tasty!

Elizabeth Burstein

Jerk chicken , coconut corn on cob, plantains , rice and beans, mac n cheese . All delicious, uber eats!

Ashley Rose

Frozen dark and stormy 's - perfect complement to spicy jerk chicken

Henali

yummy drinks, casual vibes , and yes the food can be bland so you have to add that spicy mango sauce that's on table (warning: its spicy )

Allison Niksich

The grilled corn with coconut is a must try....unlike anything I've had - delicious!

Devonta

my Oxtail Stew was delicious. The ambiance was organic with great reggae playing. A lil loud and small. Make reservations .

Veronica Uribe

Food is amazing loved the barbq wings and the fish balls for entrees. Food is a little bit spicy but delicious

Pieter ???? Dom

Both the grilled corn with toasted coconut flakes and jerk chicken platter were delicious. Mediocre coffee at $4 was the only letdown here.
