I first found out about this lovely place when I met a lady carrying a cooked turkey to a car. It was a ‘Jamaican Jerk Turkey’ and the savory smells, alone, brought me into the restaurant another day. Today, I was met by a friendly lady that provided me with curry chicken, candied yams, jollof rice, and caramel bread pudding. The freshness of my meal made my 💜 smile. Honestly, I had to share it with my Honey, whom agrees this place delivers on service, atmosphere, and savory entrees.

I’ve gotten food from here a few times. It’s never been my favorite, ever. I’ve tried the banana pudding in the past and it was riddled with rum, in an exorbitant amount that made it distasteful. This most recent time I tried it again, no rum. Not enough wafers but no other complaints. This food below was $19. I asked for white meat. There is not a single reason on the planet to serve MINCED meat for $19. I was actually taken aback. The meat was said to be jerk chicken but as a Jamaican, this is jerk sauce thrown on chicken. The rice was NOT boiled throughly at all this day. I’ve been disappointed with the food all the times I’ve come which is about 1 hours from closing. The food has been horrible EVERYTIME but this is the worst I’ve seen it. The plantain was frozen solid! I’m assuming bec

I love this restaurant/bakery. I have been eating there for at 15 years. When working at NASA it was my go to lunch or take home dinner spot. Yesterday, I drove out from DC to get chicken patties for my daughter and a curry chicken lunch special with deserts for me. Today, I had zucchini bread for breakfast. Love Denny and his wife, they have always been warm and welcoming.
