, food for the soul- promises Barbara Saltman at YA MAN in Berlin's Gotzkowskistrasse. That's exactly what the native Jamaican serves her customers; 

 

Reggae and a vacation-like atmosphere are standard fare along with delicacies such as Jamaican Jerked Chicken, Fried Plantation Delight, or COO-COO Coconut.  The secret behind the tasty dishes are the house-made sauces, primarily prepared with ginger. 

 

The recipes are passed down from one generation to another, with mothersmilk, explains Barbara Saltman with pride and pleasure. Together with her associates, Era Record and Marc Headley, the founder and head of the German-Jamaican Association, Barbara Saltman, would like to welcome you seven days each week to YA MAN (meaning "All OK").

 

A quaint, little home away from home for other Carribeans, Berliners enjoy the hospitality and friendliness of the Carribean sunshine state right here in the heart of their city. Barbara begins each day with the motto  »CHILL OUT AND FEEL GOOD!«
