DONT WALK RUN TO THIS!!! Lela’s is always a great time and I leave absolutely full and satisfied! The first time I found her during a solo trip & said I have to return and share this beautiful experience with my loved ones. This time I was able to bring a close friend of mine to celebrate me and my sister’s birthday earlier this month at Lela’s. Not only did she embrace me as we are familiar, she made my guests feel extremely welcome, happy and accommodated! She tailors everything to your liking, is very clean and knowledgeable. The experience is very personable which makes you feel right at home. The food was amazing!! We are all already planning to visit Lela during our next trip to FL. THIS EXPERIENCE IS A MUST! BOOOK NOW

Good Jamaican cooking from SCRATCH!

Leslye_H, Jul 2026

Lela was so hospitable! It was a joy to meet her in her lovely home and learn about the culture and foods of Jamaica. She is truly a gifted and talented chef as well as a green thumb! Her garden of fruit, vegetables, herbs and flowers was a learning experience in and of itself. We literally witnessed her prepare everything from farm to table including graining her spice blend! I took notes but since my efforts may not be as delicious as hers, I’ll probably be back just to taste it again done the right way. Love, love, love this amazing dinner experience! My only regret was not getting anything to go!

Awesome host and experience!

Shanna_L, Jun 2026

Leila was an amazing host! We loved the experience of the private setting. She is a very warm and professional host. She treated us like guests in her home as you would treat your friends and family. She shared so many Stories of Jamaica which was great. The food was absolutely amazing and we were so full before leaving. With us being foodies and cooks ourselves We still learned so much from her! We will definitely be back again when we visit Fort Lauderdale, which we do every year or two. This is a definite MUST do when visiting!

Response from Host, May 2026

Michelle, Thank you so much for choosing my Experience and for your wonderful review!! It was lovely having you and your group.

Best cooking experience I...

Keshia_T, May 2026

Best cooking experience I have had. A lot better than going to a restaurant. Everything is fresh and prepared in front of you. This was a great Mothers day experience for my mum. We are vegan and everything was done to our dietary needs. I highly recommend and we will be back again. Also great value for money.
