Yes the food is good but I give a 2 star for service because they cook to serve and make money and ppl come with empty bellyfi nyam, and I come in with my money to buy what I want to eat the man tell me calaloo can't go on the plate with the ackee and salt fish?! Huh? Why not? Flames don't have no problem! P & R don't have no problem. He said because the calaloo is a meal they can't mix it! Huh?! Ok so put it seperate I'll pay for it ... And since when ackee saltfish Dumplin and calaloo don't consider of a meal?! Isn't that a meal? I was so confused. The man really argue me down about the calaloo to the point I didn't get it and if I wasn't dead Fi hungry and not in a rush mi woulda walk out! But can give me 3 piece a dry fried Dumplin! Mi vex and next time I'll spend my money with someone

I went in to this restaurant yesterday on my lunch break. Order a small curry goat. I notice the guy sharing my food had alot of dirt on both elbow, & I didn't want no dirt in my food. I asked him kindly to wash him hand. He came back with a attitude & decide fi barly put food in my plate. I said to him if I was messed up I would take a picture of ur dirty hands & post it up. I am actually trying to save u from other people seeing it. Ratid him decide fi want cuss mi. So I walked out. The food good. But the workers are trash with nasty attitude, & this is why alot of Jamaican restaurant lose customers & go out of business. Dem greedy fi tip but refuse to give good customer service...

Hey, so they have this yummy dish called ginger chicken (forgive me if that's not the name)this chicken bites are bomb,juicy and pack with flavor. You have it with the rice and beans,slap some of the juice from the chicken over it your taste buds will be jumping for joy. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for giving me a tasty experience Only One.

Went in Friday afternoon at approximately 2:45. At first glance it seemed alright. Always a bonus when you see native people cooking said cuisines. That being said I walked out after waiting and witnessing absurd disorganization, one lady was trying to communicate but the others seemed confused, everything seemed too chaotic and the whole team was lost and it showed. Food looked good but definitely not worth waiting for good.
