★★★★★ 5.0 Robin · Feb 2026

Food was very good. Cabbage could have been cooked a little more. Nice portions given. Total for 2 meals was $47.72 which is not too bad. Overall I enjoyed and will go back to try something different. 👍🏽

I came to try this place first time and store is very clean and smells good. I’ve tried so many Jamaican restaurants before and not of them was satisfied. I ordered oxtails and two different types of rice it’s super flavorful I’m so happy to try this place and finally I find great Jamaican spot! Cabbage was too raw for me but I will try something else next time! I’m looking forward to go back!!

★★★★☆ 4.0 Shalane BM · Feb 2026

Walked in and the atmosphere was all right. There was not much of a greeting once we entered the restaurant. It was clean. Food seemed very limited. All three ordered oxtail which had flavor it. The spinach rice was ok. rice and peas was good not bad. I ordered Rasta pasta was 4/5. Overall not bad.

Food was not it Oxtail wasn’t tender. The jerk chicken was okay, and the mac & cheese was decent for a Jamaican spot—but overall? A 3 out of 10. I wouldn’t go back. That said, everyone’s taste buds are different. It might hit for you, it just didn’t for me. Try it and form your own opinion—but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Probably the best Jamaican food I’ve had in Jersey! The portions are huge compared to the prices and the food tastes so good too. I got the oxtail and jerk chicken delivered via Uber Eats. Can’t wait to visit in person!
