Lorenz Island Kuisine

A Jamaican family runs this authentic restaurant in Codman Square, featuring such favorites as curry chicken and goat, oxtail, jerk chicken, and plantains. It's a casual place; you fetch your own drink from the cooler (try the coconut water). The Graham family serves three meals a day, from saltfish and ackee for breakfast to brown stew fish for dinner. For the uninitiated in your party, there are also burgers and sandwiches. Relax with a Red Stripe and reggae while you await your Jamaican feast. (Bella English | Globe staff | September 20, 2007)
