Customer Reviews
I thought I was ordering Jamaican rice and peas, jerk, chicken, and sweet plantains. The rice looked like Congri and it was hard and had no flavor. The sweet plantains were not cooked long enough so they were still hard in the center, the jerk chicken literally look like baked dried out chicken. I literally only ate the plantains and had to add some seasoning for a few spoonfuls of rice. The only thing that made the food good was the jerk sauce that goes on top of the chicken, I had to dip my plantains in there and drizzle it on my rice. I don’t think I would order from here again. I gave 2 stars because the packaging looked very clean.
I ordered the Jerk chicken with a side of rice. The jerk chicken is fantastic. The rice is great too. All for $9 is a steal! Definitely will be returning to try more of the menu. The late night hours are nice to see as well
Excellent food! Just finishing up dinner with my kiddo; I had the fried chicken, rice & beans and plantains. There was a little wait for the food but it was worth it. Happy to see a new restaurant in the neighborhood!
Oh my goodness, the food here is amazing! Jerk chicken and rice is fantastic. The fried chicken completely blew me away. Seasoned and fried to complete perfection. The crunch is insane!
Very clean with an open kitchen shimmering with all new equipment. I got the jerk chicken, rice, sweet plantains and a soursop shake. Total was like $17 OTD. The jerk was really good and I got 4 big bone in pieces. I’ve never had soursop (that’s why I picked it) and it reminded me of guava and banana mixed, delicious. The employee (female, I think the owner) had a bright smile and great energy as I asked her favorites and recommendations. They have multiple things I’ve never heard of and it excites me to try their whole menu after my first experience.
