Ting Irie

Dinner at Ting Irie isn't designed to be a relaxing experience. The venue positively bounces with the carefree vibes of Jamaica, with authentic cuisine and Caribbean accents punctuating every visit.

The upbeat dining spot, popular as the city's first Jamaican restaurant, is located in the heart of Downtown Dubai. One look at the space's vibrant interiors — where wooden furniture fuses seamlessly with the bright pictured walls — and you will find yourself transported to the rainforest country.

The jerk dishes are a hit — the chicken justifiably famous — and you should absolutely try their distinct take on nachos, which teams slow-braised oxtail with salsa, avocado and a cheese fondue. The eatery sources most of its ingredients like Scotch Bonnet peppers and Pimento seeds straight from Jamaica to offer only the most authentic experience when you eat here.

Try their flaming wings that are available in seven signature flavours or opt for a delicious goat curry and traditional coconut rice. End your meal with the carnival funnel cake for the perfect sweet treat.

Watch out for their popular weekly events, where themed evenings take on a whole new beat and talented DJs spin reggae, hip hop and dancehall tunes.
