Irie Jamaican - Syracuse

NOTICE: CASH ONLY As soon as we landed and unpacked, we went over to this place, and we were pretty well satisfied. We forgot to order an appetizer, but we went ahead and ordered entrees. The only issue was that they only accepted cash. This was a problem, as my dad had to go over to an ATM to widthdraw cash. I believe this was the main reason why it took ~40 minutes for our food to come out. When it did arrive, it was pretty good. I was a little disappointed, as they had run out of rice and beans before we arrived, so we had to get french fries with all of our food. I ordered the j chicken salad, which I really liked. The chicken was a tad-bit warm (not as hot as I would have liked), but the flavor made up for it. My dad got the curry goat, which he said had really good flavor (I can attest). He did say however it could've been better. My mom got fish, and she said it was alright. Nothing that blew her away. My brothers both got the j chicken with a side of fries. They both ate all of their food, with no crumbs leftover. I would like to point out that the french fries here were really good. Overall, the restaurant was really good, and probably would've recieved 5 stars if they had rice and beans.

We found a lot of restaurants for our first evening closed or booked, so we came here and got takeout to have at our hotel. One of the best meals we had all week! Food brings the flavor, and lots of different dishes in the platter. So good!

Absolutely one of the Best restaurants in the island! The wonderful aroma of the food is worth the visit but the flavors are amazing!

During our week in Bonaire, we went out to dinner for seven night tried a variety of restaurant and cuisine and I must say that Irie was my #1 choice, hands down. It’s an unassuming place on a quiet out of the way dark street but don’t judge a book by its cover. The place is simplistic with a menu board on the wall and you walk up and order at the counter and someone will bring your food out to you. The ingredients were amazingly fresh and the food was prepared deliciously. Best of all, I ate my meal with their homemade ginger beer and with the Reggae music playing on the TV, it brought me back to Jamaica. I actually contemplated about going back there for a second time but alas, I was vetoed by the Fun Governess. I highly recommend this little gem; you won’t be disappointed.

Irie is one of our favorite restaurants in Bonaire. Their ribs are some of the best I’ve ever had and the service was fantastic. Irie is a must visit when in Bonaire.
