I would put no star if I could. Got a large ackee and salt fish. They low key scammed me by putting dumpling under my akee. For a large that was almost 20$ I got one spoon of ackee and salt fish. Definitely disputing this charge as it was a full out scam! And when I ordered the guy said oh a large ackee is expensive. I responded that it was ok me and my bf would share. For him to then fill my plate with side dishes. For those who don’t know, banana, dumpling and yam are sides to ackee and salt fish. But they filled my plate with the sides instead of the main part ! The photo is all the sides they gave. After I finished the spoon full of ackee. My plate was full with sides alone! I should have taken a pic of the before. I’m so upset!
The food was well put together but if they can work a little bit more on the oxtail the meat was still a little bit hard , but overall the place was clean . My husband love the food lol he said its very spicy . yum yum 😋
Took a friend of mine here for the cow foot soup and he Loved it ...now he saying he should have gotten 2 soups so he could have had one for his 6 hour trip down the highway...Curry goat was excellent and soup superb...Thank You Mr R...💯💯💯💯💯💯
I went there today and I was skeptical bc some places don't be the real Jamaican ting...I said can I taste the food...the guy said if u buy it and don't like it I'll give u your money back. When I tell u this is the best food I've had in sooooo long I usually love Golden Krust and Tastys but this restaurant blows them out the water the oxtails were cooked to perfection. The gravy was delicious, the rice and peas so good and my son doesn't even eat cabbage but loves and loves that it has pease and corn in it. 👏🏾! You've gained a lifetime customer with me!
My honest take on this place is that, the food was great and the prices are competitive... they could definitely do more for the establishment so that it's a little easier on the eyes but I would go back and I would recommend it
