This is my first time here. Is so true what they say. The food and the amount they give. I ordered a large oxtail, a large curry goat, a large order of curry chicken wow tasteful and a beef patty. Now they have a customer for life. I don’t have to go nowhere else but this spot yes is a line but let me tell you it’s worth it just be patient. She will come out.

Grea Jamaican takeout spot with wonderful dishes. Stewed chicken always a hit. Jerk, curry chicken or oxtails also favorites. Sometimes a bit of a line outside or need to wait 20min for another batch of items.

I saw this on Instagram recently and knew I had to try it. Lo and behold I found myself in Harlem one day and I made a bee line! There was a short line in front of this take-out only spot. It truly is the definition of no frills. There is barely enough room for two customers to stand side by side. A menu is available above the counter otherwise everything is behind plexiglass. The cuisine is Jamaican - Caribbean. Stew peas, brown-stew chicken, curry goat and chicken, oxtail and more are on deck. I asked for the small curry chicken, but they were out! I panicked and got the fried chicken. It looked she was about to tell me they were out of that as well.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Brittany Holland · Nov 2024

I came across this restaurant on IG. I decided to give it a try and visited in early October 2024. I didn’t realize I’ve always passed by this restaurant and would see the line out the door. I figured the wait must be worth it and finally decided to give it a try. I ordered the small stew chicken $6 which came with rice and peas and cabbage (with peas and carrots) and a side of baked macaroni and cheese. Although I ordered a small I thought it was a huge serving. The food was actually really good. Since it’s a Caribbean restaurant, I was nervous the stew chicken might have been spicy. But no complaints here I was able to enjoy it. It didn’t come with a free beverage as it advertises on IG. The restaurant accepts cash or card.
