Customer Reviews
Let me start by saying the service was Great From the moment we entered the establishment. Warm greetings and conversations. The food was absolutely amazing! No joke. It gave back home vibes. I would highly recommend if you’re tasting for some Jamaican food, or around the way. Also the seasoning balance was perfect.
The brown stew chicken was absolutely delicious packed with bold authentic Jamaican flavors that really stood out. Every bite was seasoned perfectly, and you can tell the dishes were made with care. On top of that, the portion sizes were very generous. NOTE: online it shows they close on Monday , but I confirmed with the gentleman there that THEY ARE OPENED on MONDAYS as well, so don’t let that stop you from stopping by at the start of the week. Also great lunch specials from 12pm to 2pm for all under $7!. ☺️ No dine- in. TO-GO ONLY
I got the oxtail and curry goat with rice and peas. 1 beef patty, 1 chicken patty. They have plain oxtail and spicy oxtail. I got the spicy. The food is properly seasoned the meat is tender it's spicy without compromising flavour. The rice and peas is moist. The gravy and cabbage were generous and delicious. I have no complaints about the food 🤤 The patty was some of the best I've had outside Jamaica. I would almost say the best I've had outside of Jamaica. The serving size was large! I ate that for lunch and dinner that day with enough food for both portions. The service is friendly and warm. Is good to speak to a genuine Jamaican while waiting on your food. The whole interaction was the perfect accompaniment to the comfort food. I recommend this place to one and all!
I went to go try this place out and the food was not good at all. The Mac and cheese tasted like it was made days ago and it was cold. The food had absolutely no seasoning on it. Service was great but the food is not edible.
The actual establishment is nice and the staff is very nice. However they add way too much gravy to the food! We spent $88 on four plates. And we specified on the phone *light gravy. We have been to this establishment before and they did this the last time however tonight was literally the worst. The food is flavorful but how am I suppose to eat food that is drowned n gravy. We can’t eat the cabbage, nor the rice. We had to get another container and separate the food that was edible from the food that was not. We will not be back again.
