Great priced and great food! We came in for dinner to try their oxtail but unfortunately they were out. The jerk chicken and the crispy chicken was soo flavourful and delicious! The price was so worth it too for the portion you get! Great cuisine and food experience overall!

[2024-10-24] A very flavourful and juicy jerk chicken, falls right off the bone. The rice and peas was also very fragrant. I'm really hard to impress, but this is a great hole in the wall! My only issue was that the portion size seemed very small for the price... I received only one small thigh. I definitely wanted more. Maybe it's a different size for their Thursday jerk chicken special. The spicy beef patty was just okay. Filling was bland and the pastry was a little bit dry.

It's rare to find Caribbean cuisine in Calgary, especially one that is high quality. You will find both here at king Solomon... I absolutely recommend this restaurant!

I had seen this place open up not too long ago beside Shawarma Barlow and figured I'd give it a go. I ordered the Jerk Chicken meal with a Jamaican patty on the side. First thing I can say is very generous portion size. You really do get value for what you pay. I was only able to eat half for lunch. The jerk flavor on the chicken was spot on! I have a high heat tolerance so this was mind for me so if you're not a fan of too much heat you should be safe. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone tender and not dry. The rice and beans had good flavor, rice wasn't over cooked and the beans still had a tooth to them. I wish the meal had come with more than one piece of plantain because it was great! Not too greasy and not over cooked. It added a nice sweetness. The slaw was a nice fresh pop with a bit of sweet I haven't had from a slaw before. The Jamaican patty also had really good flavor. All in all everything tasted very fresh and made from scratch. I'll be going back to try more.

The best Jamaican food in Calgary. Enjoyed everything we have ordered. Our favorites are the jerk chicken sandwich, jerk wings, and curry goat. Very good value, huge portions.

The food here is amazing and packed with flavour. The rice and peas were chefs kiss. The oxtail and jerk chicken were so yummy. Sometimes they can be a little skimpy with the meat but the whole plate is amazing. The service is so so. They run out of half the menu before dinner time which was sad but the food is worth it.

I’d give this 4.5 stars The jerk chicken was incredibly juicy, generously covered in sauce and paired with a hearty portion of rice. The beef patties, both spicy and mild, were also delicious with a perfect amount of spice. That green Jamaican Hot Sauce was amazing, super spicy but amazing! And you could actually taste the flavours. I had to call to ask a few questions and the lady was kind and informative. The only downside was that the patties felt a little under-filled, and unfortunately, the veggie patties listed on the website weren’t available. Still, a great experience overall and I’ll be sure to try other items on the menu next time!

This place lives up to the great reviews we've seen. Had the boneless Jerk Chicken meal today. This was a late lunch and one order was enough food for both of us to share. The food came out piping hot and was delicious. Their counter service was friendly and helpful.
