Some 'Ting Nice

On McGrath Highway in Somerville, there is a parking lot on the side of the restaurant, a short walk from Broadway in East Somerville. A delicious variety of Caribbean fare. From Jamaican jerk chicken to the Tobago special, Some 'Ting Nice serves dishes with deep flavors. Complimentary soup (rotates daily) is served before the meal with entrees. The soup of the day was hearty with vegetables, chicken (if you wish), and dumplings in a pepper-based broth. The jerk chicken is of course a must with an incredibly flavorful portion of spiced, sweet, and saucy chicken (on the bone). The spice brings a moderate level of heat. St George's goat is cubed off the bone and served as a green curry stew. The meat is tender and the sauce provides plenty of aromatic flavor. Other recommended entrees include roti (with the traditional bread, similar to naan and protein of choice) and the Tobago special (chicken, rice, and vegetables in a coconut cream sauce). Some 'Ting Nice dishes usually come with two sides and an excellent way to eat vegetables. Aloo (curried chick peas and potatoes) blends well with a similar sauce to St George's goat. Bhaji (creamy) and callaloo (stewed with okra and pumpkin) are similar to spinach. Bodhi (curried string beans) and pumpkin (served mashed with garlic and spices) are also stand outs. The macaroni pie is a must - cheesy and baked as a casserole.
