Jamiacan Cajun Cuisine

Jamiacan Cajun Cuisine is a restaurant in Herkimer, the Herkimer County village best known for the nearby Herkimer diamond quartz crystals. The name points to a menu that pairs Jamaican and Cajun cooking, two spicy, flavor-heavy traditions. Spicy food is a good fit for the cold months in Central New York.

That kind of pairing makes for a change of pace in the Mohawk Valley, where Italian-American cooking is a long-standing favorite. It gives locals and travelers passing through Herkimer a reason to try something new.
