Yahso Jamaican Grille

Amazing and great tasting food and great people working there so glad that this place exist

Food was delicious. My friend and I have an oxtail and a curry goat plate. Th food was finger licking good. Got jerk wings to go. This is my new spot.

I'm going to be odd man out here. My experience was just OK, I ordered the large Ox Tail plate, , the large Jerk Chicken plate and a Jerk Chicken Patty.

The Ox tail was delicious but there were only seven pieces for a large which cost about $13. If you know Ox Tail then you know that there is not a lot of meat so seven pieces for a large is pretty stingy.

Like so many Caribbean restaurants Yasho's gave me about three cups of rice with the plate, way more rice than anyone could or would want to eat. As far as I can tell the rice was just just black beans in juice and rice cooked together so nothing really appetizing there.

The rice was improved by mixing it with the gravy from the Ox Tail but again there was very little gravy so I ended up just throwing about 3/4 of the rice out.

The plate comes with some type of slaw, again, perhaps it is traditional but not particularly appetizing. Again, I threw most of it out.

The Jerk chicken Patty was flavorful but Yasho's is trying to cheap out again. Very little filling and lots of dough. Fill those patties with meat, that is what people are paying for.

The Jerk Chicken plate followed the same format, the chicken was very good but not plentiful for the cost, three cups of rice and slaw. I at the chicken and threw the rest out.

My assessment is this, Keene is not Jamaica so this little bit of meat and three cups of rice as a filler is not going to fly for long, especially not at $13. Yasho's needs to be more generous with the meat portion, absolutely increase the gravy, it is the only thing that made the rice palatable, cut the rice portion at least in half, no one want to eat that much rice.....and maybe put a fried plantain or two in the plates as a little treat for the customer.

I think Yasho's could be very good but it is not there yet.

Excellent food! I had the Ox tail diner, spicy beef patty, and some jerk chicken wings, it was all very delicious and flavorful. Keene is starting to add a lot more diverse foods to the area and I think its just what the city needed.

First off I'm not from Keene. I visit every couple months since I absolutely love new Hampshire and my wife is from here. I found this place last time I was here and I'm so glad o tried it out. I LOVE it. The service is spot on, the food is delicious, and it's got a nice and cozy atmosphere. We had the curry chicken, oxtail, jerk chicken, curry goat, shrimp and patties. All were fantastic but the top three were curry goat, oxtail and jerk chicken. Definitely going to be a regular stop when I'm here in Keene. A great gem and worth supporting.
