A Taste of Home in Harlem

Half-Way Tree brings the flavor of Jamaica to Frederick Douglas Blvd, cooking the Jamaican food people grew up loving while introducing newcomers to Jamaican cuisine with every plate. We start with fresh ingredients every morning because good food begins long before it reaches the plate, keeping each order freshly cooked and never rushed.

Come in, and you will find the classics done right at our Jamaican restaurant. Our ackee and saltfish carries that gentle, savory morning-time comfort, while our jerk chicken brings the smoke and heat that keeps folks coming back. We slow-cook our Jamaican oxtail until it falls off the bone, and our brown stew chicken sits in a rich, seasoned gravy that pairs beautifully with rice and peas.

Built for both quick meals and relaxed gatherings, our space offers a comfortable place to enjoy Jamaican takeout or sit down with family and friends. Kids are welcome, appetites are encouraged, and every meal gives you a chance to enjoy the flavors we serve from our kitchen.

When you are planning a larger gathering, we provide Jamaican catering for parties, office lunches, and family events, preparing the same dishes we serve every day. Whether you are craving oxtail, jerk chicken, or a full spread, we make it easy to bring Jamaican food to your next occasion. Stop by, call us, or reach out about catering and let us take care of the cooking.
