Tina loves cooking and decided to see if she could open a restaurant dedicated to traditional, home cooked Jamaican food. After searching for a year for a location, Tina chose a one-table restaurant, with four chairs and a take out window, in Providence, Rhode Island. Customers began to flock to Tina's and soon she had a few more tables on the sidewalk where folks would congregate to chat and enjoy their Jamaican fare. When Tina's Jamaican Restaurant outgrew its original location, it moved to a larger building and then to its current 223 Atwells Avenue, Providence, RI location. Tina's specialty is curried foods and jerk, all home prepared, home style, from scratch. Tina's Jamaican Caribbean Restaurant does a great deal of catering including servicing homeless shelters for Thanksgiving and other special meals. When Hurricane Ivan devastated the Caribbean, Tina spearheaded a drive to gather thirty barrels of donated clothing and food, plus money, to send to the devastated countries. Insider's Tip: Tina's cooks grate their own coconut to make coconut milk for their recipes. Only fresh ingredients are used at Tina's.
