Sabor Caribe centers Venezuelan cooking in a bright Madison Avenue room, with arepas, empanadas, and patacones providing several ways to explore corn, plantains, and slow cooked fillings. Order a few formats for the table instead of repeating one dish. The kitchen's sauces and crisp fried edges give the meal contrast, while the casual service makes the restaurant easy to approach at lunch.

Evelyn & Olive's current Jamaica Soul identity continues the Jamaican cooking associated with the original restaurant. Curry chicken, rice and peas, stewed fish, and deeply seasoned meats reward a meal built from several shared plates. Use the current Mendenhall address rather than the former Madison location, and expect a soulful, spice driven menu that connects family history with the restaurant's new chapter.

Jamrack brings Jamaican cooking to Avalon Street with jerk chicken, curry goat, brown stew chicken, red snapper, and plantains. The menu supports both a focused plate and a broader shared spread, especially when sauces and sides can move around the table. Its restaurant and bar format gives the food a social setting while preserving the direct flavors of the owners' Jamaican background.

Curry n Jerk continues inside Bon Ton after moving one block from its original Monroe Avenue room. The menu draws on Jamaican and Panamanian influences through jerk seasoning, seafood, ceviche, curry, and fried whole fish. Treat the current name and address as the same ongoing restaurant, then order across land and sea to see how bright acid, chile heat, and savory marinades interact.
