Customer Reviews
This review is super late. I patronized on Saturday, 10-1-22. Hadn't been on this block in many years. Assuming that either the food was very good or I got there too late as a lot of menu items I inquired about weren't available. I was there a few mins before 4 pm. I ended up ordering sides of macaroni and cheese and sweet potatoes. Made a stop before I got in, but my food was still hot from the good wrapping. Would definitely return to try other things. The food I ordered was filling and good.
This place is FANTASTIC! The food is wonderfully flavorful and delicious. Jerk chicken was incredible (get some of the gravy and hot sauce on the side) and the Mac and cheese was so good. Shoutout to one of the regulars who helped me get the lay of the land and let me know about all the good work the owner Mike did giving out free food to the needy during the pandemic. He said the portions *used* to be huge, but as you can see from my photo they’re still very generous (and only cost me $10)!! Service was straightforward and the prices weren’t bad. It is take out only, so plan to go home or walk over to Lexington market to eat. Some items aren’t available everyday so if you have your eye on something specific (pumpkin roti) better to call ahead. Can’t wait to come back.
I've been going to this Caribbean spot for a long time when they were in the old market near Green St. I hadn't been in a minute, but I'm glad I did. Brother went and bought quite a bit. Ox tails were awesome. 1/2 jerk chicken mac and cheese greens plus yams was awesome. Basically, everything was delicious. Mike and his wife can throw down in the kitchen. Check it out for yourself.
I'm not a conisieur of Caribbean, curry or goat but the cabbage, yellow rice and curry goat were 10 out of 10. Truly amazing!
Been visiting this location for years as well as when they were inside Lexington Market. Food is always prepared fresh and there is such a variety that you are never disappointed and you get a lot for your money. I get enough to last me and my husband for two days. And when I say a lot you are walking out with a heavy bag.
