Forget about fancy restaurants where you have to wait a long time for your food to arrive, and then it costs you and arm and leg. This place here is nothing like that. You get your food quick, price is affordable and the taste is amazing! I highly recommended.

Great food! I spent almost 2 years living in the Caribbean and this food reminded me of being there. Highly recommend the jerk chicken combo and the mac and cheese!!

So I am normally a chicken fingers and fries kind of girl. I don’t often venture out and try new things, and I’ve never been happier that I did! I had the Jerk Chicken, a chicken empanda and mac and cheese. All of it was fantastic! The cabbage was the best I have ever had! The staff was fantastic and offered to deliver across the street to our office! Just can’t rave enough about this place and we definitely will be ordering again!

This little gem has great Caribbean food all made on premises. Collar greens Mac and cheese. Chicken stew was good .fried plantains awsome. My wife had the goat stew very tender. Not fancy but all good.

Very hit or miss. The jerk chicken is pretty good, not very spicy tho. The rice wasn’t cooked.. at all, like raw. And the Mac and cheese was pretty dry. Good collard greens a bit salty tho. But it is cheap.

Showed up to up pick food from a Too Good To Go order promptly at pickup time, 7:30pm… And they were closed. No lights on, nobody inside. Was looking forward to it, but oh well. Reported to the app as well.

Respect big man
I always tell my Jamaican friends. If you pull one over on me, I won’t say anything, just won’t support your establishment. I order a medium plate I was charge over $20. with a runny cold mash potato., rice under cook. then have the nerve to charge me $20 and change. See when u have someone who could be a regular and u decide to make such a move that’s not smart business. The Chinese business stay forever as they price reasonable and you won’t even realize their price increase as the nickel and dime u. Don’t take my niceness for weakness.

My family brought me curry goat and it wasn’t even goat, it was chicken and it was dry. No curry just chicken. And it was still pink. It wasn’t fully cooked. Why open a business if you’re gonna lie to customers about the food your serving

A hungry Tuesday evening, and I found the most interesting little Caribbean restaurant tucked away in this brick fronted plaza. I was SO glad to stop in! I ordered a platter of jerk chicken, which came over spiced rice and beans along with a potato salad and a cabbage side. I also ordered some empanadas. Let me tell you, the food was out of this world – jerk chicken with a sweetly spicy kick, delicious empanadas with a tender tear, and even the sides were to die for. With a varied menu, this place will certainly make it’s way into your weekly rotation! Tldr; great bold flavors, unapologetically authentic cuisine, and a very friendly staff!
