Open for a week, Mango Bush (524 S. Fourth St., 215-625-2410) is serving up irie island cuisine in the former A Peace of Sole off Fourth and South. Husband and wife Trevor and Patsy Rainford and Stratford Campbell cook up specialties from Jamaica — gotta-have-it jerk and curry chickens, stewed oxtail, steamed red snapper, chicken foot soup and more. (Full menu below.) Their signature items so far seem to be the mango shrimp, sautĂ©ed up with slices of the fruit and Caribbean seasonings, and the ackee and saltfish, a breakfast staple that’s the national dish of Jamaica. Platters come with sides like mixed vegetables, rice and beans, steamed cabbage and fried plantains. (The Rainfords previously ran a Caribbean restaurant in Olney.) They deliver in a small radius in the neighborhood.
Mango Bush is open Monday to Thursday from 11 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11:30 p.m.

By far the best Jamaican place in the city.
The employees are so friendly and give the place such a welcoming island feel.
The jerk chicken and the mango shrimp is the best!!! I have never taste jamaican food so well done! whoever is cooking up the food can really throw down!!!
