Press picks, until locals rank their own Top 5s. Sourced from the local food press. As seen in Indianapolis Monthly, WRTV, and Towne Post. Updated July 2026.
Jamaican Breeze Sports Bar & Grill · Fairgrounds
Jamaican Breeze pairs a lively sports-bar setting with a kitchen grounded in island cooking. Its oversized Jamaican patties arrive in chicken, beef, or vegetable versions, each wrapped in a notably light, flaky crust. Add rice and beans or settle in with a Red Stripe while reggae gives the Keystone Avenue room its rhythm.
Yaso Jamaican Grill · Fountain Square
Yaso serves modern renditions of Jamaican standards from a welcoming Fountain Square storefront. Jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtails, patties, and escovitch fish show the range of the kitchen, while the rum cake offers a rich finish. The menu keeps its roots visible even as plating and presentation take a contemporary turn.
Da Blue Lagoon: Jamaican Kitchen · Lawrence
Da Blue Lagoon turns its Lawrence dining room into a colorful expression of Jamaican food and culture. Oxtail stew, jerk chicken, curry goat, escovitch fish, and beef patties lead a menu cooked from family recipes. Reggae, tropical drinks, and the room's tiki-hut details make the atmosphere part of the meal without eclipsing the cooking.
