Really enjoyed my experience at Miss Lily’s 7a. I came here for the first time in 2018foir a birthday brunch and remember the food and drink being fantastic. Today (2026), I came again and was happy to see that not much had changed. Today I had the jerk chicken and the tamarind glazed plantain. My husband did the restaurant week deal with codfish fritters, jerk hash, and coconut cream cake. We also indulged in the boozy brunch deal for $25 bottomless drinks. The jerk chicken was really good, and
Miss Lily’s is one of the most consistent Jamaican restaurants you’ll find in Manhattan. Everything on the menu is always available which is rare for a Jamaican spot! The food is very good, and you can tell they take pride in maintaining quality. The aki and saltfish leans more on the saltfish side they’re not too heavy on the aki but it’s still delicious and well-seasoned. The roti is always soft and fresh, which is a big plus. The decor really captures the vibe of a bar straight out of Jamaica
Stopped in for happy hour during the week. The rum punch is strong but really good fruity flavors and is on the happy hour menu. The ox tail spring rolls had lots of flavor and the cod fish fritters delicious loved the curry sauce.
