Come in to Dukunoo and try the healthier side of living by treating yourself and loved ones to their vegetarian, vegan and pescatarian options and much more during the months of February and March.

The delicious offerings include a delectable Beyond Jamaican Jerk Burger, Vegan Ackee rolls and Curry Chickpeas just to name a few. 

On Friday, February 17th Dukunoo invited The Knockturnal to join them for a healthy lunch meet-up. At the meet-up writers, food bloggers, and friends enjoyed a vast selection of Jamaican eats and drinks from the health and wellness menu as well as the main menu. 

The popular Jamaican eatery takes center stage when partnering with the Greater Miami Convention and Visitor’s Bureau for Miami Health and Wellness month. In February, American Heart Health Month was recognized, with the first Friday of February being Women’s Heart Health Day, it was and continues to be the perfect time to show consumers the healthier side of Jamaican fare.

Gayon Gray, manager at Dukunoo, stated that Dukunoo is not just a restaurant but a “vibe.” Her favorite item on the menu would hands down be the jerk chicken, she loves the spice in it.

A first-time customer stated that she has never been to a Jamaican restaurant. She tried the jerk chicken and found it to be delicious, not dry, with the perfect amount of kick, and full of flavor.
