Enjoyed dining here very much! Able to secure reservations for four at a prime time of evening! Waitress was exceptional! We enjoyed the scrumptious, outstanding food at a leisurely pace! Both Grandboys looooved their food as did we, the Grandparents! Made it to the play at the Children’s Theatre in plenty of time to get decent parking and relax before the play started. We will be back-for a date night!!!

Pimento Kitchen in Minneapolis is a must-try! I had the chicken curry, and the spice level was just right—full of flavor with the perfect kick. Loved the reggae music playing in the next room, which created a great atmosphere. It was my first visit, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and it won’t be my last. If you’re looking for authentic Jamaican food and great vibes, this is the spot! Highly recommend for anyone craving bold flavors and a fun dining experience. #PimentoKitchen #JamaicanFood #MinneapolisEats #AuthenticFlavors #ChickenCurry #ReggaeVibes #FoodieFinds
