Insanely Tasty Food That’s Good for the Soul

Ting Irie’s jammin’ Jamaican food menu offers a modern but laidback take on classic Caribbean cuisine, making it one of the best casual dinner places in Dubai, whether you’re out to dine with friends, family, or your better half. 

It’s All About the Likkle Tings

Expect zingy, bold flavors like chili, lime, jerk seasoning and more that’ll wake up yuh taste buds. Order some Likkle Tings to get your meal started, like Jamaican patties or Caribbean pepper shrimps. 

Bright and Bold Bigger Tings

Many Ting Irie Big Tings dishes are classic comfort food with a home-cooked feel. Fill yuh belly and nurture yuh soul with options like oxtail and beans, curry goat, BBQ ribs, and the jerk chicken. 

If light and fresh seafood is more your ting, then you’ll love the seabass rundown, a seabass fillet cooked in a banana leaf with coconut cream. Or why not sample Jamaica’s national dish: ackee and saltfish?

With many more fish and seafood, meat, and vegetarian choices with varying levels of heat, there are dishes to delight all palates. Just be certain to save room for dessert as Ting Irie’s Sweet Tings are legendary. 

Tings for Yuh Sweet Tooth

The Tastiest Breddie Tings
