Ital food made with love - Edit
We thoroughly enjoyed every bite of this delicious ital food. The chef showed us how he cooks on coals and explained the ingredients he used to us for each dish. He takes pride in his cooking and his passion was evident with each delicious bite. We had soup and a combo platter. Worth the trip to the west end.

Rasta rody you can do better - Edit
Despite being a great personality rifts food was mediocre at best, poor taste with no flavor and the soup was a slush of what seemed like water with added flour, I recommend a few hours on YouTube to pick up a few tips or just turn the pages of a vegetarian cook book! Rody claimed to be a vegan but later admitted to eating fish from time to time ... that says it all
Read morePros: Nice personality , Cooking area was clean , Great location
Cons: No real idea of what healthy meat free food is, Falsely claimed to be a vegan, Asked me to leave a review

Hi, this is the real Ras Rody. I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Not Jamaica. I left my business with my son in Jamaica.

Please make sure we distinguish between one and the other. I have over 12 years now in the US. Making making an international name for myself. I don't want it tarnished by my family.

I absolutely loved this place, it doesn't look like anything special when driving past but the food is amazing! My friend and I went everyday for lunch (she's not vegetarian) and loved it! The people there are so nice and welcoming and its very cheap, defiantly a much when visiting Negril!

ire, mon ( means everything is all right ) - Edit
Just returned from another trip to Negril which always means another trip for dinner at Ras Rody's. One of the things I love about this place is that I am, or we are, the only non-Jamaican(s) there. They say everything is organic and fresh and it certainly tastes like it. It's vegan food at its Jamaican best. Yes, the stand is a bit hard to find, on the west end of Negril, and yes, seating is limited, but those are not really issues for me.
Read moreThis trip, I sat beside an older Rasta man who said he was the Doctor. He said he maid herbal remedies for what ever ailed you and he did this for his community there. He said nature provided plants that could cure cancer, diabetes, ED, on and on. He claimed to have been vegan all his life, eating Ital, and had never been sick. He said he was nearing 80, but, except for some gray and white in his dread locks, he could have easily passed for 55. It's never dull at Ras Rody's. Rody himself is not always there, but the food is in good hands. His son and daughter take care of the stand in his absence. Don't let the rustic location deter you. It's an experience you will talk about for a long time once you return home. I think my tab has never been more than $8 and that's for the full meal. Tourists will stay on the compound at Sandal's , etc, but travelers will seek out and be well-pleased by Ras Rody's
Pros: Authentic, healthy, delicious

ITAL, HEALTHY, LOCAL CULTURE - Edit
Ras Rody is a hard working Rasta who serves up a delicious ITAL meal from his roadside stand. There are a few seats and some stimulating conversation. The night I was there there were three youths hanging around on their bicycles looking bored. They were friendly and I asked if they were hungry. Of course they were so I had Rody fix them a go meal - a large styrofoam cup filled with rice and beans and curried veggies in a coconut sauce. They were very appreciative. The bill - $18US for mine, the wife and the three boys. While we were there the Rasta Elder "Herb Man" came by selling all kinds of fresh herbs and spices on his cart. All straight from the earth and fresh. I bought some jerk spice blend - great stuff. If you love the local west end scene then it doesn't get better than this. Good food, good vibe... Ya Mon!
