" This was my first visit to Ray Adea's, and I was overall pleased. The variety on the menu gives you options and the freshness of the ingredients is noticeable. I ordered the shakshuka and an empanada. Both were flavorful and cooked well. I would say that while the food was good, the dining area could have been a bit better maintained during busy hours. Still, it’s worth the visit for the food alone! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ray Adea's is my go-to lunch spot! I love their Mediterranean mezze. The hummus is just divine, and my favorite is the babaganoush. I would suggest taking your food to go, as the dining area can become crowded. They do a great job of making customers feel at home, which I appreciate. The only downside has been the portion size—while the quality is excellent, I sometimes find myself wanting just a tad more. But that won't keep me away! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough about this place! From the moment I walked in, I felt the warmth of the staff. The oxtail was the standout dish for me; I have never tasted anything like it. Tender, flavorful, and served with a generous helping of rice and peas. My friend ordered the vegan curry, which was equally impressive. The ambiance was casual and a bit busy, which lent to its charm. I will be back, and I’ll encourage others to join me! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having lived in the Caribbean for a few years, I have to say that Ray Adea's is a gem! It's not just a fusion of cuisines; it feels genuinely authentic. The curry chicken was rich, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. I also indulged in their falafel, which had the perfect crunch and was beautifully flavored. The ambiance was cozy, and the staff were simply wonderful. I can't recommend this place enough for lovers of true Jamaican cuisine. I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" As a vegetarian, I was excited to check out Ray Adea's, and it didn’t disappoint! The falafel bowl was loaded with fresh ingredients and had a superb crunch. Plus, the atmosphere is relaxed—perfect for a quiet lunch. The staff were welcoming and attentive. Highly recommended for anyone looking for plant-based options or just great food in general. The value for the quality of food is excellent. Overall, I will be returning to try their Jamaican dishes as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" Ray Adea's is not just a restaurant; it’s an experience! The combination of Mediterranean and Jamaican food is inspired, and you genuinely get the best of both worlds. Their plantain chips are a must-try and the jerk sauce is a game-changer! Special mention to the owner, who is not only enthusiastic about food but also makes everyone feel at home. I have already made plans to return next week! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having heard amazing things about Ray Adea's, I finally decided to visit. The jerk wings were phenomenal! They were perfectly seasoned and had an authentic taste. The cooks definitely know their way around Jamaican cuisine. On the other hand, the falafel was average—nothing too special. But I will definitely be coming back to try more of their dishes, especially the vegetarian options! " (*Curated Review*)
