Dutch Pot Jamaican Restaurant

Honestly, if I could give more than JUST 5 STARS, I WOULD!! Matter of fact, I am giving this spot a 10 star review today for we have hit whatever perfection given; today!!

From the warm welcome upon my entry, to the cleanliness of the restaurant right on down to the food that I received, it was all a win and so let us officially begin.

Now I had arrived too early to receive any jerk wings and that hurt my heart a little. Jerk Wings, Jerk Chicken in general is just a strong staple in the Jamaican Food Space along with some ferocious rum cake and for the dessert offerings, I was off by one day but I will not hold that against them.

I went with the brown stew chicken (medium), 2 drinks, 2 dumplings and some velvet cake all for $27 and to be honest, I think that is a fair price point for everything.

My brown stew chicken had the nerve to be scrumptious!! Tender and Soft, like a Woman! I was in love upon first bite. I sank my teeth into that chicken and it fought my soul upon impact. The flavors of sweet seduction, savory symphony and tantalizing treason the way my tastebuds betrayed me; was more than enough to find comforting peace on this bite alone. I closed my eyes as I was chewing away, remembering all of the greatest moments in my life, fusing together and then I came back to the light. The chicken broke apart within my mouth before I could even chew it Family!!

The rice is just rice...brown rice cooked into a selective softness that when mixed with the brown stew gravy, send you into a whirlwind of joy immediately and I am not big on veggies, but they worked out a balance in my meal that helped me to better understand as to why I should start loving veggies.

My dumpling had a good crisp about it but so soft with minimal buttery fluff and it was of a decent size too. Looks just like a big ol corn muffin in its finest hour, dressed for the occasion. You could sop this dumpling up into the brown stew and find that your life is complete once you bite into it.

This leaves us at the rich velvet cake. Creamy and decadent - sweet and understanding. Ladies and Gents, you have just experience DUTCH POT JAMAICAN RESTAURANT in East Hartford, CT!!!!

Food is sooo good! Bought some beef patties and they were blazing Malachi and his sister are so sweet and professional! Thank you so much!

Gorgeous food, done right! I hope they have every success. They deserve it. Great people.

Food has always been great and then they started doing smoothies. Anytime I ride by east hartford I always stop by .

Just went to the the Dutchpot in East Hartford. I had a cornmeal porridge and fried dumpling and lemme tell yall .... 100% the best Jamaican food in Connecticut no other restaurant can compare.

I had lunch here today. I will never go back. I ordered brown stew chicken small and fried plantains, and got gravy tons and rice with very little chicken.

I will go back there I'll continue wheee I been going to in Hartford...
Don't get me wrong.. Their food is good.. BUT one day I came ordered a medium today I got a large and no different in the amount of food only on the bill $16.10 total with the tax

I absolutely love this place, every time I purchase food from here. The FOOD IS ON POINT, customer service is always great. I will 100% recommend you go to Dutchpot for breakfast lunch or dinner. The food is always flavorful and like I said awesome service, in my opinion it's the best Jamaican restaurant in East Hartford. Also, let me just add, the portion sizes can be a little bigger for the amount of money we have to pay, but I understand everything is getting expensive. So with that being said, that's my only CON about Dutch Pot

Finally got around to trying Dutch Pot, as it was highly recommended. I dropped in on a Monday night, and the place was empty. I honestly wasn't too impressed. The only advantage this place has over Pepper's or Carl's is that it has spacious seating. I ordered the medium curry chicken. I got 4 small pieces of chicken doused in delicious sauce. Their side of veggies has more variety in it than the other Jamaican restaurants. The flavor is there, but price does not match the portions. There are better options out there as far as value, so I have no plans on visiting again.

I have ordered ackee and salt fish at many restaurants throughout the Hartford area. this is the first time I got one scoop of ackee. I paid $12 for the dish I am not pleased. Avoid this restaurant at all costs. Lousy!
