Shenel Kitchen - Poughkeepsie (NY)

5 /5 julie gonzalez: On a whim, my brothers and I decided to stop and finally try Shenel’s kitchen. Where we were brought in by the atmosphere of the welcoming music and friendly staff. Shenel herself served us recommending we dine in for the full experience. She even served us an off the menu pasta that was amazing! Between the three us, we tried the curry goat, jerk chicken, pasta, veggies and rice and peas. Everything was a 10/10 highly recommend! The jerk chick wings were the perfect combination of spicy, saucy, sweet and smoky. The best authentic Jamaican food in PK! Definitely a hidden gem!!

4 /5 DemonstratedByCC: First time trying this new restaurant and I was highly satisfied. I had the BBQ Chicken with Rice & Peas, was very flavorful but a bit spicier than I expected for BBQ. I also had the Roti with Curry Goat which tasted spectacular. I enjoyed every last bite. If you’re ever in town and looking for something new to try, here it is!

5 /5 Mercedes Garcia: I was starving and wanted some food. It is July 4th, so I was hoping something was open. Decided to try this spot… and OMG. The first bite was so delicious that I totally forgot to snap a picture. I got rice and peas, pasta salad and oxtail. I can’t believe I ate my entire order. The place was super clean and quiet, due to the holiday… Will definitely come back and try the stew chicken! This is my new Jamaican food spot!!!!

5 /5 versatile duplicity: Theyre the best Jamaican food stop around !!! HANDS DOWN !!!! I very rarely rate any place this high. I tried their mac and cheese, rice and peas, stew chicken and jerk chicken and loved it all !!!

5 /5 K.K M: being from the Bronx, I was originally intimidated walking in, hoping not to see mean employees with attitude lol This is literally the first Jamaican restaurant I’ve ever been to that has really kind employees, amazing atmosphere and food. I believe it was the owner that immediately greeted me as I walked in, and she was extremely sweet, even smiled at me. Let me try some other side of dishes and then help put together a great plate for me 10 out of 10 love this place and will definitely be back!!
