I went to Nicely's for the first time on 8/17/24 around 7:30pm. I drove 30 minutes from Elkton Maryland to Wilmington Delaware. I ordered a large curry goat with rice/beans and cabbage. I also ordered a large oxtails with mac & cheese and rice/beans. The food was excellent. Perfectly seasoned and nice portions. I have no complaints. I highly recommend Nicely's and I will be back soon. Thank you!

The food here is amazing. I order from them at least 2-3 times a month. The jerk chicken is very good, and the plantains are great.

I enjoyed my short time at Nicely's. I was there for a quick and affordable lunch special. I ordered rice and peas w/ox tail gravy, plantains, and cabbage. I'm trying to refrain from meat this month but I couldn't resist the gravy. I also order a hot and delicious coco-bread without the patties. The service was fast and convenient and paperless. You can definitely grab a bite to eat on your lunch break and not spend hours waiting for your food.

This restaurant was very nice and conveniently located near market Street. The food was definitely flavorful with a lot of variety, and very fairly priced, especially in this economy. There was a large selection of juices and sodas, ranging from American to Jamaican drinks. Each combo comes with two sides, and the servings were very well portioned. My favorite was the plantains. I got the lamb curry as well, highly recommend! The service was very fast as well.
