Ms. Tiny's Jamaican Cuisine is one of the finest Jamaican restaurants in Philadelphia! Ray Tiona ensures that your food is always fresh, expertly seasoned, and beautifully plated. The vegetables are cooked to perfection—never mushy, always al dente. Every dish feels like a feast for the eyes and the taste buds; it’s simply irresistible. Their catering service is PHENOMENAL!!!! I can't emphasize this enough: PHENOMENAL!!!! They genuinely take the time to accommodate your requests whenever possible. I’ve ordered a variety of dishes, including stew salmon, stew chicken, jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, vegan potato salad (amazing), vegan stew (incredible), vegan coleslaw (wow), kale salad...
If you haven't yet visited this restaurant, you absolutely need to try the food! And if you've already sampled their offerings, I'm sure you're eager to return for more—I'd even recommend going back for a third visit! The staff here are exceptionally friendly and professional, making you feel like part of the family as soon as you step inside. This place serves authentic Jamaican cuisine, prepared with care and love that makes every bite feel like a warm embrace. You won’t be disappointed—I assure you, everything on the menu is fantastic, but my personal favorite is the cabbage. They turn such a simple dish into a flavorful delight!
I visited the restaurant on a Saturday afternoon and didn't expect it to be very busy, which was perfectly alright. The service was satisfactory, and I found the food to be quite enjoyable. I ordered the curry chicken, which had a nice mild spice, and it came with delicious rice and peas, as well as tasty cabbage. I also had a side of yams and macaroni and cheese. The yams were good, but the macaroni and cheese could have used more cheese, as it was a bit lacking in flavor. Overall, I would rate the food a 3 out of 5.
I visited Ms. Tiny's for the first time, and it certainly met my expectations. I tried both the oxtail and turkey wing platters, and I thoroughly enjoyed each dish. The oxtails were juicy and full of flavor, and I was happily surprised that there were still some available after a busy Saturday night. The food was outstanding, and the portion sizes were generous—something I truly value, especially since many places tend to skimp on the oxtails and serve mostly bones. I will definitely be coming back!

I was quite disappointed with my experience at the restaurant. I ordered turkey wings but only received one and a half, along with a large portion of beans and rice. The wings were dry, and it seemed like they were missing the skin. I don't think I will be returning to this restaurant. If it weren't so far away, I would think about bringing the food back. Overall, I'm very unhappy with my meal, especially since this place had come highly recommended to me.
This was my first and last time ordering from this restaurant. I tried the jerk chicken, which consisted of just a small drumstick and a tiny thigh. I could barely taste the jerk seasoning. The cabbage was bland and needed some salt and pepper. It seemed like the chicken was baked instead of grilled. If you're in search of excellent Jamaican food with generous portions, I highly recommend J&J at 5513; it's the best I've ever had.
This restaurant is my top choice for Jamaican food in the area. I've sampled many items from the menu, and the jerk chicken and cabbage are truly standout dishes. I highly recommend trying them. The portion sizes are quite generous for the price, which I really appreciate. The staff is friendly and always delivers excellent service. It's a hidden gem that offers fantastic value for your money.
I had the chance to taste Ms. Tiny's food at an event, so I can't speak to the service. However, the food was amazing! I tried the jerk chicken, oxtail, and curry goat, and I loved each dish.

The food is delicious, but I really wish they had BBQ jerk available on the menu.

The food is quite good, but the person I spoke with on the phone was rather rude. I really didn't appreciate his tone!
