Helen's Kitchen

"My personal favorite Jamaican spot in Houston. Everything is flavorful from the jerk chicken,oxtails, plantains and cabbage. If you’re looking for a new spot to try this is it. As far as atmosphere it’s clean you can eat inside."

"The parking was tight & limited but the food was good & piping hot & I love that for me. 5 stars for that. Everything was seasoned well. I ordered the 2 meat combo.. curry chicken & oxtails. My 3 sides were rice & beans, curry mash potatoes, & cabbage. But I ordered plantains & they gave me the cabbage instead. I dined-in so when I bought it to her attention, she said they ran out. I think that’s something I should’ve been informed of & I should’ve been the one deciding on what to substitute it with, not her. How do you know I even like cabbage? Thankfully I do so I didn’t make a big deal out of it but for future reference, if you’re out of a particular dish, let the customer know so they can substitute it for something THEY like. Don’t take it upon yourself to substitute for whatever YOU please."

"I give it a try because is close to home, I usually go to a another restaurant to get food, Oxtail taste was different than my regular restaurant, looks little greasy, taste was ok, rice had some flavor that I can’t describe, chicken was too dry and no flavor at all, other than that no more issues."

"Ox Tail and Curry Chicken meals were very good and in large portions (left some for later). I'm always skeptical of new places, and this one defeated my skepticism with plain and simply good food. It really felt like a home-cooked meal. PS, try the beef patty if you ever go there, very tasty."
