OUR STORY
Rooted in Kingston.
Grown in Gainesville.
916 Jamaican was born from a simple belief: that real Jamaican food — the kind your grandmother makes, the kind that takes all day — deserves a home in every city. We brought our family recipes from the island and planted them right here at the Oaks Mall.
Every dish we serve is made from scratch, every morning. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just the bold spices, slow-cooked meats,and fresh sides that make Caribbean cooking the best food on earth.
