There may be one restaurant for every 300 people in Dubai and you would have been forgiven for thinking that\u00a0Jamaican cuisine was\u00a0represented here. However, Ting Irie, a new home-grown\u00a0Jamaican\u00a0restaurant that opened it\u2019s doors today is the first of it\u2019s kind in Dubai.<\/p>\n

Ingredients from Jamrock<\/h3>\n

With a mix the real traditional and modern dishes. They import the\u00a0Caribbean ingredients and spices directly from Jamrock. The\u00a0place is the brainchild of\u00a0Jamaican-Chinese Chef Craig Wang (Of Toronto\u2019s PATOIS fame),\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“Ting Irie is a fresh modern take on Caribbean Cuisine and food for the soul. We’re not\u00a0shy about bold\u00a0flavours\u00a0or fun modern ideas, but at the same time we have\u00a0the utmost respect for traditional island ingredients and Jamaican dishes that we have all grown to love.”\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
