I wish I could give the food zero stars. Extremely overpriced food that was absolutely not worth it. The curry chicken was mostly bones and almost no meat. The jerk pork was fatty and the rice and peas were tasteless. The cabbage was hard and undercooked. $48 for two meals and a soda. Absolutely awful meal.

Absolutely delicious! The beef patties are super yummy and the curry chicken was spectacular. Just enough spice to get the blood flowing. You can really taste the love that goes into the food. The staff is also extremely friendly and always a smile! I will be coming back for more awesome food!

I stumbled upon this restaurant when I stop to go into QuikCheck. I love Jamaican food and had to pop in for some Oxtail with Rice and Peas. The food was delicious. Oxtail was cooked perfectly and tender. Reminds me of my ex mother-in-laws cooking who is Jamaican. The portion of food was enough to feed 2 people. Their beef patty is very good. I had one with Coco Bread while my son ate his without. I would definitely stop by again if I am ever in the area.

Amazing food and great service, very fast as well! I Always order couple large portions to go and eat it over two days, one large portion is enough for two times for me, the taste is amazing, best jerked/curry chicken I had ever. Even tastes perfect when I heat it up in the microwave!

I’m from Brooklyn New York born and raised so I know good Jamaican food. This place in my opinion has the potential of being a great spot for Jamaican cuisine, however they need to start from scratch and work on their menu, presentation, and cooking. I went there for a simple Beef Patty & CoCo Bread and it was horrible. Hopefully the next time I go back things will be different.

Great Authentic Jamaican Food!! Come here every time I touch down in Jersey. May be a bit high price, but it’s worth it. You get enough food and still won’t be able to finish it all!

Jerk Chicken and Ox tail meals both large were amazing. The meals comes with a lot of food. Definitely enough for two. Meals come with rice & peas, cabbage and plantains. Also ordered chicken patties and coco bread. Both were hot, fresh and delicious. Definitely a place I will frequent.

I was there yesterday. The gentleman behind the counter was not professional. They didn’t have half the food on the menu and this is not the 1st time that has happened very poor customer service and quality of the business needs to be improved. I will not be returning.

Horrible portion sizes , basically robbing the people that’s trying to support you. $22 for oxtail ( only one size) and $14 for Medium jerk chicken. My last time eating here don’t waste your money. Average food

Customer service was as quality as it gets. Pass this place all the time and finally decided to pull the trigger and stop. They told me I’d be back and they’r right. Authentic Jamaican food done right. See you next week.
