We’re located on Blue Hill Avenue in Mattapan, Boston. It’s one of the most well-known streets in the neighborhood, and we’re proud to be right here in the heart of the community. If you’re coming from Dorchester, Hyde Park, or anywhere across Boston, we’re easy to find.

We’re open Tuesday through Saturday from 9:30am to 9pm, and Sunday from 9:30am to 8pm. We’re closed on Mondays. Whether you’re stopping in for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, we’ve got you covered most days of the week.

If it’s your first time, you have to try the oxtail, it’s slow-braised, deeply spiced, and honestly one of the best in Boston. The jerk chicken, curry goat, and Rasta Pasta are all customer favorites too. For seafood lovers, the Escovitch Snapper and Curry Shrimp are standouts. And if you’re coming in the morning, start with Ackee & Salt Fish with coco bread.

Yes! We offer daily Lunch Specials, hearty, made-from-scratch Jamaican plates at a great price. They change throughout the week, so the best way to find out what’s on is to give us a call or stop in. They’re popular, so come early if you can.

Sundays are special here. Our Sunday Specials feature some of the most beloved Jamaican dishes, the kind of food people look forward to all week. We’re open Sundays from 9:30am to 8pm, and the specials tend to go fast. It’s become a tradition for a lot of our regulars, and we’d love to make it part of yours.

Yes, Blue Mountain Jamaican is proudly woman-owned. Our head chef and founder started cooking at the age of 10, learning at her grandmother’s side in Spring Hill, Jamaica. Everything you eat here comes from that tradition, real recipes, made with love, passed down through generations.

The restaurant is named for the legendary Blue Mountains of Jamaica, a place known for natural beauty, rich culture, and world-famous coffee. Our chef grew up in Spring Hill, Jamaica, and brought those authentic recipes and techniques to Mattapan. The mission has always been simple: cook real Jamaican food the way it’s supposed to taste and share it with the community.

We do! Blue Mountain Jamaican caters for family gatherings, celebrations, community events, and more. Jamaican food is perfect for feeding a crowd, flavorful, hearty, and crowd-pleasing across the board. Reach out to us directly to talk through your event and get a catering menu.

Item descriptionAbsolutely. Takeout is available during all regular business hours. Just give us a call ahead of time and we’ll have your order ready when you arrive. It’s a great option when you want real Jamaican home cooking without leaving the neighborhood, or when you’re picking up dinner on your way home.

We do have vegetarian-friendly options, just ask us when you order and we’ll guide you to the right dishes. Jamaican cuisine has a rich tradition of plant-based cooking, and we’re happy to work with dietary needs where we can. Give us a call if you have specific questions before you visit.

Absolutely. We welcome everyone, families, longtime neighborhood regulars, first-time visitors, and everything in between. The vibe is warm, the portions are generous, and the food is the kind that brings people together. Kids and adults alike tend to be fans of the jerk chicken and rice and peas.

Everything here is made from scratch, every day, using authentic recipes rooted in Jamaican tradition. Our chef didn’t learn to cook from a cookbook, she learned from her grandmother in Jamaica, and that difference shows in every bite. We’re not a chain; we’re not fast food. We’re a neighborhood restaurant in Mattapan that genuinely cares about the food and the people we serve.
