A MUST TRY!!! 👌 Absolutely adore the "build-your-own" concept applied to patties! Obsessed with my oxtail patty, so flavorful and satisfying~~~ portion is more than enough as a meal for me 😍 Surprised to find that, besides the food, they also bake their own pastries fresh! The chocolate chip cookie has a nice homey vibe. The staff and the owner are all super sweet. The store is very clean and tidy. There is ample space for seats, so is comfortable :) Can't wait to visit again!

Great food and great people. I placed an order for 22 patties a couple hours in advance and they were able to accommodate. The beef patties are well seasoned and spiced. The veggie pattie is like a "pot pie" consistency, a bit sweet. Great size and price. Their oxtail pattie is also such a treat. Thank you!

Absolutely delicious. One of best tasting restaurants in Montclair, a town full of good restaurants… The oxtail with rice and beans is perfect. My wife is a pretty selective eater and she loved it. The jerk chicken was great too. Everything was properly spiced and portions were good. We’ll be back for sure.

First visit 2 months ago; Food was amazing , I had the 3 protein dinner , jerk chicken , oxtails and curry goat . Portions was very good and I could not eat it all. Steamed veggies was also well seasoned . 2nd visit Jan 2026 ; when I got home and opened my tray , I couldn’t believe the appearance n portion size . 75% of the meal was rice . I ordered the exact same trio protein dinner I had ordered 2 months ago , only this time curry chicken n jerk chicken pieces were very small n dry .. 1.1 piece of oxtails portion and hardly any gravy. Veggie side was just a spoonful . Quite disappointing for a $32 meal . Debating if I will try this place a 3rd time or not .

During my visit, I experience good customer service; employees are kind, helpful with navigating for a Vegan option, and seem to be well busy in the kitchen. The Vegetable Patty is sweeter than savory though not so sweet. The crust is far drier than the interior though tasty (though flaky-dry-crispy). The eatery has indoor seating. Chill vibes. The establishment takes different forms of payment.
