Signature Dishes

Jerk Chicken

Slow-smoked over pimento wood with our house jerk seasoning — scotch bonnet, allspice, thyme, and brown sugar. Served with festival and rice & peas.

Ackee and saltfish prepared in a cast iron skillet with fresh peppers

Ackee & Saltfish

Jamaica's national dish — fluffy ackee sautéed with garlic, bell pepper, and thyme alongside tender salted cod. A breakfast tradition done right.

Curry goat with rich golden sauce and fresh herbs in a clay bowl

Jamaican Curry Goat

Tender goat braised in a deep curry sauce with bay leaf, thyme, and pimento. Slow-cooked until it falls apart — served with bammy or white rice.

Mango pudding dessert in a glass with fresh mango cubes and mint

Coconut Mango Pudding

Silky coconut cream set with fresh mango purée — light, tropical, and impossibly smooth. Finished with a mint leaf and toasted coconut flakes.

Our full menu features oxtail, fried plantain, callaloo, and seasonal specials.

Our Story

Rooted in Flavor,
Built on Tradition

New Butterfly Restaurant was born from a simple conviction: that the bold, soulful flavors of Jamaica deserve to be shared in every neighborhood. Our recipes have been carried forward from family kitchens in Kingston and Montego Bay — passed down, refined, and prepared with the same care your grandmother would insist on.

Every dish begins with whole spices, fresh herbs, and ingredients sourced with intention. We don't rush the jerk. We don't cut corners on the stock. What you taste is the result of patience and respect for the craft.

Located on Guy R Brewer Blvd in the heart of Jamaica, New York, we're your local destination for meals that feel like a journey — without leaving the borough.
