Chef Nakia Raymond — who learned his craft working in kitchens in Spanish Town, Jamaica, before moving to Arizona — serves exceptional, deeply authentic Jamaican cuisine at Cool Vybz in North Phoenix, with highlights including perfectly fried and smothered brown stew fish, stewed goat, oxtails, and curry chicken, plus rotating seafood specials that never appear on the menu. Phoenix New Times calls it one of the best restaurants in the Valley.
