★★★★★ 5.0 Vince Reiman · Feb 2026

My favorite Jamaican food in the city. I love the oxtails but the jerk chicken is the best I've ever had. Enjoy :)

★★★★☆ 4.0 Will Flores TV · Feb 2022

I ordered a hodgepodge of small dishes and they were all well made, very delicious and reasonably priced. I went with jerk chicken, rice & peas, fried chicken, curry goat and the mac & cheese. That all totaled roughly $25! Btw when ordering the mac have them drizzle some of the stock from the curry goat over top of it you can thank me later. Also worth noting is that they only accept cash however there is an ATM two feet from the counter. It is tiny inside and they have lots of traffic. My one and only complaint is the service! A young lady with a chocolate complexion who could quite possibly have been a teenager served me. If the owners are reading this please know that she has a bad attitude and almost ruins what would otherwise be a perfect experience.

First off the smell of the “salmon” was horrible when I opened the box. Why is my salmon orange and heavily seasoned ohhhhh because you’re trying mask the horrible smell of the fish. I’m pescatarian I’ve been eating seafood my whole life this is TUNA that they tried to pass off as salmon when u break the fish apart it breaks like tuna, the inside color is a tanish brown like the color of tuna, salmon is PINK inside this fish was NOT which is why they tried to color it orange with the seasoning!! DO NOT get fooled by that little piece that you see is broken off so u see the inside a little bit because it’s COLORED!! HORRIBLE all around. The fish wasn’t fresh AT ALL!! The rice & peas and the box macaroni were OKAY and now I’m sitting at work stomach hurting NEVER AGAIN!!!!! $37 down the drai

I go to this place regularly and love it so much! The food is always warm and tastes great. My go to is the curry chicken, and they always give you a hefty portion with rice beans and steamed cabbage. Not sure why the reviews on Google are so low because this place never disappoints!

This place was horrible!!!! I got the weirdest vibe when I walked in. The outside of this place looks like a hole in the wall. The server was not friendly so I’m expecting the food to be great you know? Food ZERO stars! The food was dry. The food was not fresh. It taste like it was siting all day. He said they had no more plaintan which was a joke. The other food look greasy. The salmon looked like it was sitting all day. I was super hungry that’s why I tried it but save yourself it’s not worth you while. Service Horrible! Stank attitude! Staring upon me like I’m doing wrong! Atmosphere Looks extremely scary on the outside! Rats are running around like crazy outside! All the best!
