Murl’s Kitchen

Murl’s Kitchen on Washington Street serves Jamaican plates built around jerk chicken, curry goat, oxtail and jerk pork. Rice and peas or white rice come alongside vegetables or plantains. Fish orders offer another route, with preparations including escovitch and brown stew. The menu also stretches into Rasta pasta with chicken, shrimp, salmon or oxtail, plus meatless options. Mac and cheese comes in versions with jerk chicken or oxtail. Loaded fries are listed for Fridays and Saturdays, so plan around that if they’re the draw. For a group meal, the restaurant takes advance catering orders; individual plates are available through its ordering services.
