I got jerk chicken with spicy rice and plantain, as well as a side of samosas (excuse the picture I’d already eaten 2 wings)
The samosas were a victim of the drive home so they weren’t as crispy, but they did have a delightful chew, akin to beignets with the a bit of sweetness which is complimented well by the beef and pea filling.
If you are someone who enjoys spicy food, but also love a developed flavor profile, you have to try the Jerk chicken! No lie one of the best take out meals I’ve had in a while. The food not only smelled phenomenal but the chicken literally fell off the bone; the second it touched my tongue I was met with an explosion of flavor (and pretty intense heat lol). Ironically enough the tomatoes in the spicy rice had a deep sweetness to them that paired really well with the heat of the chicken. And of course I was eating the plantain un between and it was just so good!
All this to say, I really enjoyed the food and from what my husband said the atmosphere was nice and the owner of the restaurant was kind. Let’s support our local businesses especially when the food is this fire (pun intended)
The collard greens were cooked just right, tender yet hearty, with a savory depth that showed real care in preparation. And the plantains? Sweet, caramelized, and absolutely addictive, they tied the entire meal together beautifully.
What impressed me most was how fresh and vibrant everything tasted. This wasn’t just food thrown together; it was crafted with love, authenticity, and attention to detail. You can feel the pride in every plate.
If you’re anywhere near Manchester, New Hampshire or even if you’re like me and need to make the trip from Boston, Maya’s Kitchen is absolutely worth it.
