Good Home Jamaica & American Food
by West Indian Food Critic
Genesis is a signature restaurant in our neighbor for more than 8 years. Service with smile. The food, well you have to go try it for yourself but to be fair let me give you some recommendations.
I highly recommend this place for good Jamaican food. Don't make the mistake and think its all West Indian food; Garfield specializes in American as well. Garfield has been known for his cooking and catering expertise not to mention his ice carving for more than two decades.
Don't be surprised if you see Celebrities at this spot...but of course DJ Roy is the cause for that. He constantly gives the spot a shout out on his radio show.
Must Eat, Must Try!!
- Pros: Seafood Excellent! Curry Goat, Oxtail on Point!!!
- Cons: Long Lines at times - Worth the Wait
Garfield's food is always good!

I was surprised to find such down-low, neighborhood Jamaican restaurant to be on citysearch!
I have been Genesis' fan for quite some time, and the food is always delicious! I recommend Red Snapper (Brown stewed), and oxtail. (I personally love the fruit punch, too.)
Food can be eaten inside the place, but it's more like a takeout place. Definitely not a place for dates.
My husband, who is carribean, loves Garfield's food. I also love his food, and so do all of my friends. Comforting, and authentic! We all live far from the restaurant, but we keep going back.......yes, food is that good:) and very consistant.
I highly recommend this place!
- Pros: Great food, reasonable price, Friendly chef
- Cons: , take out place, slow service
