    We love Erma's Island and are so excited to learn about the opening of Erma's Bistro on Clinton Square! When we first moved to Syracuse, I was so thrilled to come across authentic Jamaican food. First we tried all the patties (they're all delicious, but the beef is my fave), then it was entrees (the jerk chicken burrito is a must), followed by breakfast items (jerk chicken and waffles on Sundays are delicious and the presentation is beautiful). I sometimes eat vegetarian, and the coconut curry is an absolute dream. My husband loves the oxtail. All the rice dishes are layered with flavor and beautifully presented. Erma's Island serves delicious, well-priced Jamaican food in Syracuse! We'll continue to visit the Salt City Market location and look forward to dining in at the Bistro. Genuinely so happy about this expansion.

    Erma’s is my go to at Salt City. The food is always fresh, excellent flavor, great presentation, timely, and reasonably priced in today’s market. You get plenty of food and variety if you purchase one of the main dishes. I’ve been numerous times with all excellent experiences.

    My dad and I stopped in here. He is very picky and doesn't like eating out. A man of few words but we were both very impressed with the food and the service. My dad said the meal felt like he was back home on a Sunday eating dinner.
