This dish was just as tasty this time around. The calamari rings appeared to me larger this time, but I thought they tasted great and were easy to chew.

Jerk chicken – Rose’s Luxury

Jerk chicken - Rose's Luxury
Pickled mango raita, green papaya salad. $14
Rose’s Luxury, Washington DC

The chicken was good and the jerk was flavorful, but it was the other components that really made the dish. I really enjoyed the raita and papaya salad. I thought the portions was a bit small for the price.
