Jamaican Cuisine in Soho? Yes, Please!

Miss Lily's

I am so happy I finally got to try Miss Lily's!

We made reservations on a Wednesday at 7PM but called ahead and were able to come in a bit earlier. We were immediately sat down since it was not too crowded and the menu was provided through a QR code.

The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, the music is a straight vibe and the food & drinks are outstanding!

Starting off with the drinks, Miss Lily's has a creative selection of cocktails and seasonal drinks. I was stuck between ordering a few different drinks because they all sounded great but I am so happy I ended up ordering the Pure Passion. Seriously, if you stop by Miss Lily's and you drink, please order this drink. It's absolutely one of the Top 3 drinks I've had in all of 2021. Almost similar to a spicy margarita, the Pure Passion drink is a 10/10 and a few of those will definitely be hitting!

Moving onto my meal, I dug into the West Indian Curry Vegetable Roti and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were addicting and they gave a wonderful portion. I split mine in half and enjoyed the other half as leftovers later that night and it heated up perfectly. I also tried the rice and peas through my cousin's dish and it was tasty with the vegetable curry. I recommend ordering some on the side!

The mac & cheese pie was also very good and cheesy! It came out pipping hot with the most perfect cheese crust. I took my leftover mac and cheese home too and it heated up well too. Lastly, the french fries with jerk seasoning were crispy and seasoned to perfection. Not too salty with a nice spice to the point where they didn't even need ketchup.

Overall, I had an excelled experience at Miss Lily's and will definitely be adding this location to my Food Series. Great staff, dope DJ's, amazing drinks and delicious cuisine! Can't wait to stop by again soon!
