BIG portions. - Try the curry shrimp for dinner. - If you're there for breakfast or lunch, get the ackee and saltfish. Irish moss is tasty as well. --["Users/mkung"] - ------ - ''2008-07-06 14:37:52'' [[nbsp]] This food is amazing. All of it is amazing, including the fresh fruit juice (the pineapple with ginger - so good). --["Users/Mcontolini"] - ------ - ''2008-12-18 13:21:26'' [[nbsp]] I really like this place. I live right down the block. The food is terrific! Oh, and the portions are very large so you have leftovers. --["Users/Anthony"] - ------ - ''2009-03-23 20:23:46'' [[nbsp]] I tried to go here last Tuesday. Sign on the door said they've moved to 145 Lincoln Ave, between West Ave and Forbes Street. --["Users/AutumnHaag"] - ------ - ''2009-06-07 23:06:18'' [[nbsp]] I am not sure if the new location is owned by the same people. The vibe seems completely different from what is described above. It is a tiny take out place located in not the safest neighbourhood. However, the food was excellent. I had the rice and peas, jerk chicken and cabbage and everything was very tasty. A pretty good deal for $8! It took a little work to get their attention to place an order but they were very friendly. I would be back (but probably only while it is light out). --["Users/OneLove"] - ------ - ''2009-07-17 12:29:38'' [[nbsp]] This place when it used to be on thurston was amazing. Great vegetarian food, super friendly people working there. Unfortunately the vegetarian spot has closed and when they say they moved to lincoln, what they really mean is that they closed natural vibes and are trying to get their clientele to go to their non-vegetarian jerk hut (owned by the same people). Both times i have gone to this location they had NO vegetarian food besides a few side dishes. - - When Natural Vibes closed, a little part of me died :( --["Users/GioD"] - ------ - ''2009-08-23 11:30:36'' [[nbsp]] Me and a friend went, bummed that we'd missed the veg place when it was here. We asked what veg dishes they had and were offered veg chicken. Super tender, super yummy--- we got one in curry and one in a stew. We'll be back!! --["Users/AmandaOHearn"] - ------ - ''2011-01-12 15:53:33'' [[nbsp]] Great food, and lots of it. - - Love the oxtail, mon. --["Users/NicoD"] - ------ - ''2012-11-03 17:04:05'' [[nbsp]] "Natural Vibes Jerk Hut 2" recently opened just north of the Gulf station at the corner of Culver and Atlantic - 659 Culver or thereabouts. --["Users/markjackson"] - ------ - ''2013-11-20 16:47:59'' [[nbsp]] Visited the Culver Rd location recently. Ordered curry chicken, jerk chicken and oxtail dinners along with a couple meat pies as appetizers. Everything was very fresh and flavorful and the portions were generous.

Everything is cooked using fresh ingredients and vegetable oils. "I wanted an open kitchen," [owner] Phillips says, "so you can see exactly what we're doing." + + Phillips makes delicious stuff. There is a lightness that is unusual in Caribbean cooking, perhaps due to his vegetarian bent. The spicing is subtle. "These days," Phillips says, "you have beef seasoning,chicken seasoning... it clouds the natural flavors of the foods." Phillips uses the flavors he grew up with --- thyme, peppers, scallion, onion, ginger --- to enhance the flavors of the foods themselves. + + The tofu chunks were lightly fried and served over a fabulous rice dish ($8 for small, $10 large, like most dinners). Fried plantains and cabbage rounded out the meal (the plate itself was gorgeous and colorful, presented atop a basket-like place setting). The highlight, though, was a whole snapper stuffed with potato, okra, scallion, thyme, peppers, black pepper, and garlic ($12.99). It was wonderfully balanced, and the fish was flaky and moist, with it's own, sweet flavor shining through. + + Natural Vibes is open long hours, and serves all three meals. I'll go back for breakfast porridge of cornmeal, corn hominy, banana, and bulgur. And of course, there is ackee and saltfish, the national food of Jamaica. And definitely check out the Irish moss drink, kind of a vegan eggnog. + + [[Comments]]
