Our Story
Mama's recipes,
island heart.
Kiss Yo Mama brings real Jamaican soul food to Vancouver — the kind that simmers low and slow, layered with pimento, scotch bonnet and time. Every patty is folded by hand, every plantain cup fried to order, every pot of oxtail braised until it falls off the bone.
It's home cooking with a Caribbean soul — generous, unapologetically bold, and cooked for your table, in your space, for your people. No storefront, no shortcuts — just Chef Lisa and a menu built around your event.
- Cooked fresh for your event
- Pimento-smoked jerk
- No shortcuts, ever
