African culture is known for placing three stones in a triangular position and using them as a stand for the casserole (usually a clay pot) as the cooking fire combusted underneath. This is still practiced. Amaica serves at least two meals from every region of the country. Their best cooks are experts sourced from the traditional African villages. Their food is the most natural you will find in the city. They rarely use manufactured spices to flavor their food. Their food’s exquisite taste comes from naturally grown herbs and spices. The prices are mid-range.
