My husband and I went to Kingston 21 for date night and we really enjoyed. The customer services was outstanding! From the greeting at the door and the check-ins from staff. The food was amazing! We had the Jerk Chicken which was marinated and full of flavor, coconut rice that was so fragrant and creamy. We also had the Frozen Bob Marley Drink! It was perfect!

Good for family gatherings. Nice decor. The outside seatings are very romantic but only romantic in winter 🤣🤣🤣. The food is tasty and well prepared. Be ready to wait for your food because it takes a long time. Cant complain much because it is newly opened restaurant.

Kingston 21 is my very first experience of jamaican food.The hotel atmosphere is the most attraction of this restaurant. Staff were very attentive and has good idea about your food requiremnet. I went with my friends and I was wondering if they have vegetarian option. Yes they do offer with delicious food. I can say you must try there food since it will give total different taste from other foods around the world.specially the ingredients.Also, I love that beverage they have and I tried gingerStaff not forgetting to treat you with beautiful song for your special occasion.Price was reasonable for this classy experience.

Kingston 21 is located in serenity with a peaceful view. The setup is amazing. I ordered the oxtail dish served with rice a d it was full of flavor. The staff provides excellent service and the chef Junior is super friendly and even shares his recipes. Unfortunately you have to take cash as the restaurant is not accepting any card payments.

Yall i just had unlimited breakfast spread 2 days ago... The toast was heavenly! But what caught my attention was one of their staffs. Her name is Mj, shes definitely unforgettable. She is such a charm, she even assisted us to the smoking area. everyone was friendly but i must say she definitely left a mark and a great impression on us. I will definitely recommend this tour place to all my friends. Thank you so much for the great experience🥰

A wonderful vibe. The staff were so nice, the food was delicious, the chef knows what he is doing back there!! The food was fresh and hot. The location is nice there are options to sit outside and you can see the nighttime view of the oceans. Price was reasonable. You get a good portion of food. However my bill was higher than expected🙈 (I ordered a lot) but definitely give it a try you wont be disappointed.

Excellent food and service. Had a table of 5 people everyone enjoyed the food. From starters to main dishes. Very rare that I give 5 stars. This place truly deserves it. Cant wait to return.

As a man from the carriebean living in abu dhabi theirs not to many choices for carriebean food. I was very delighted and awaited the opening of Kingston 21. First of all I want to say the location of this restaurant is perfectly place, over looking the water. Outside seating is a must if you want a great sunset view. The service is wonderful very friendly staff. The food was good, they put a twist to the traditional Jamican dishes I was a custom to. The food seems to be prepared from scratch which is very good but will take some time to get to the table.This is a very upscale Jamican restaurant and you should expect to pay upscale prices. I recommend this place and will return. The only thing I didnt like is they didnt have alcohol yet and informed me they will have it.i look forward to having a red strip beer 🍺 The other thing is cash only at the moment, which I was informed of before I came. Over all a great restaurant and even better experience 🥰 .

Kingston 21 - Jamaican food in Abu Dhabi!Overall: ⭐⭐⭐⭐Ambiance: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Food: ⭐⭐⭐⭐Other: ⭐⭐⭐Parking: AnnoyingService: Goodtl;dr: Small portions, high quality food, worth a visitAmbianceThe location was superb, it has a great view and a shady gentle breeze that made the peak heat of the day quite nice.FoodGrandmas Ginger Beer - Quite simple, and its not carbonated. I LOVE ginger beer, but wouldnt recommend.Trench Town Rock - Its curry goat in a sauce with veggies. It was good, but like 35 AED good. Not 120. The veggies and aromatics also had quite a crunch still. Lots of onion and garlic were nice though. It was a small portion as well.Jerk Corn - Small but DELICIOUS. Almost got seconds.Mexican Turn Jamaican - A Jamaican burrito, REALLY GOOD. Different, and had some flavors I hadnt had together before. The plantains were a great touch. Would have been great with hot sauce, but totally fine without.Steak Fries: Some of the best fries I have had. But you get like 7... Kinda annoying to pay 2AED for each. But the quality is really high.Overall its high quality food, definitely has a lot of culture and thought in the food. I wish the portions were bigger. I ate when I got home lol.OtherIts cash only... really annoying considering the bill is 200AED. You cant order online either. They are working on it though.

Nothing can put you in a jolly mood faster than reggae music, tostones and ackee with salt fish and Johnny cakes. Miles of smiles, tasty food, the blue Arabic sea, good coffee and porridge that is simply better than any pudding. And that is only breakfast.

Excellent Jamaican fare, but a little pricey and challenging to reach. Hard to imagine this place will fit into my regular rotation, but its great for special occasions. Note: CASH ONLY, as of May 2021.

The outdoor seating and views are perfect.Parking is easy.Food was ok. The beef patties could have been a bit more authentic. Their competitor has better patties in my opinion.My wife ordered the curry goat she liked it but felt there were too many bones and not enough of the meat to enjoy. She also felt the curry could have been a bit more on the spicy side.My daughter had the chicken fingers and sweet potatoe fries. That was good. We all enjoyed that.I ordered the Risotto which was good. There was a part of the Risotto where a lot of the seasoning sat, so that was a bit hard to enjoy when I got to that part.The ginger beer was really good.Overall, we agreed the food could have been a bit on the steaming hot side. But we underatand that the place just opened and these things take time to iron out. I see great things for this place.
