★★★☆☆ 3.0 Eronini Decker · Sep 2025

I was excited to find a new Jamaican spot and started with the oxtail, then tried the curry goat—both were pretty good. The food itself is solid. My only issue is with the service. The lady at the front (possibly the owner) doesn’t come across as welcoming, and I’ve noticed others mention the same. There have been times I called or stopped in and decided not to order because of her attitude—she often seems uninterested or as if helping customers is a bother. If the customer service matched the quality of the food, this place could be amazing.

This place sucked. I paid $30 for a large oxtail platter and ended up with nothing but rice. The dish says on their menu “oxtail and butter beans” I saw NO butter beans on my plate and maybe 3 oxtail, which were mainly bone and fat and gristle. All I ended up with was gravy and rice with peas. I wish I would have looked at my food before I left. I’d never go back.

Important: Please take the time to read.They have gotten bad, up the prices and reduced the food. I mean even the peas and rice is questionable. And, adding frozen mixed vegetables now to the cabbage, that’s not even authentic. I ordered today, peas and rice, damn near no peas, if you have to get that cheap stop serving food. I could count the many peas in the rice. Then, all the dishes I ordered were mostly bone with little meat. The oxtail which is classical known to be no meat. I only ordered in the past from them because they provided a good portion. Today, small and less. The jerk chicken, which I didn’t understand, mostly bone with minimal chicken meat. The same with the brown stew, mostly bone with minimal chicken meat. I was so pissed off, I had to write a review to say stop buyin

★★★★★ 5.0 Trevor Trev · Jan 2026

The oxtail was amazing—perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The curry was very good, the roti was crispy and delicious, and the Rasta pasta was on point as well. Everything was well prepared and satisfying. I’ll definitely be stopping by again whenever I’m in the area.

I came in this morning for breakfast I asked what was ready and was told everything. I ordered the Ackee and saltfish with provision. When I got home opened my ordered and it was seasoned ackee with provision. No saltfish!! I paid $20 which is ridiculous 🙄 for my food and was shortchanged. Not only is the food expensive but they're not giving you what you paid for. Word of advise, check your order before leaving the restaurant. Have them open it and show you! Had my mind set to eat ackee and SALTFISH. They got me today, never again.
