Customer Reviews
So I ordered from this place under my ex partner's account. The first time I ordered, I called and said what I wanted in the vegetable soup and it was honestly amazingly delicious. So I ordered again a few days later and I didn't call but when it arrived, it wasn't good. I wanted to order again a few days after so I called asking for recommendations and a lady answered and my goodness she was rude and had very poor service. I was explaining to her that I loved the vegetable soup the first time, expressed that I had okra soup and ogbono before - not from there and I loved it so I'm open to whatever she would recommend. She then told me to just go and order something because she is selling and will tell me that everything is good... anyways I ended up not ordering because of her attitude so
My first and last visit to this location. The experience was extremely disappointing. The customer service was poor, the lady taking my order was rude and clearly annoyed when I asked a simple question about what was included in the meal. More seriously, the food quality was unacceptable. After driving an hour home, the Egusi Stew smelled overwhelmingly spoiled, and the texture was gritty. Like sand was in it!! This was a wasted two-hour round trip and a total disappointment. Don’t recommend this location. Buyer beware of the 3-star rating.
If you're looking for something outside of the usual New England fare and want to try something different- this place is fantastic. If you like Caribbean food or Jamaican food you'll love this place. I will say the flavors here are better than most Jamaican places - all of the dishes were bursting with flavor. The dining room is small but the woman who owns it greeted us and served us and she was about as nice as could possibly be. She served us some kind of red meat that was stewed with lots of tendons and cartilage - one of my personal favorite parts of beef - it was so delicious my daughter told me not to eat it all. Will def be going back!
This was my first time here and also having fufu. It was very good! We ordered the pounded yam, okra sauce with goat meat added, a large pepper soup they kindly split in two bowls for my friend and I to share. The sauce that comes with the fried plantain is AMAZING, pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the plantain. (I find it to be mild, but it may be a little spicy if you don’t typically prefer spicy food.) I had to ask for extra. Wonderful service, they made sure we had everything we needed.
The staff is 100% rude but the amala was pretty decent 4/10. The ewedu was definitely not fresh!! I called last week Monday to place an order around 7pm for pick-up between 7:30-7:40pm. The lady was so rude and condescending over the phone and demanded that I arrived by 7:30pm. I was craving amala so I just accepted and made my way to pick-up. The way she grudgingly took my order was insulting. On the way, the staff called me rudely asking where I was, yelling that she was closing the store because she had to drive over an hour to get home in Framingham. I told the lady that their hours stated open till 8pm plus I was still within my proposed timeframe, even explaining that I met traffic along the way. She was loud and asked me to turn back. I had to beg her to let me get my order. Upon ar
