Ewarts Jerk

Walk into Gillett Square and you'll catch the smell before you see the place: that unmistakable char of jerk spices hitting the grill. Ewarts isn't trying to be trendy about it—this is genuine Caribbean cooking in a straightforward setting that feels more like a local's spot than somewhere designed for the 'gram. The jerk chicken arrives dark and glossy, with that crucial balance between heat and flavour, falling off the bone because it's been properly done. Sides like rice and peas and fried plantain are executed without pretension, and the prices won't have you wincing.
