Home cooked vibes. Staff is lovely. Oxtail is my favorite, goat curry close second. Good portion for $16. $7 student deal for those still getting educated. Thanks!

Food is amazing. Authentic Caribbean food that is not stingy with their protein. their(jerk chicken is amazingly delicious) The steamed veggies, the coleslaw everything is (chef kiss) AND you can tell everything is made in HOUSE. This is the go to spot if you are around the area! It is a must visit. I have no complaints

Great little spot for some Carribean food. I got the jerk chicken and it was so flavorful and the spice is right. Can't wait to go back and try everything else. The service was great as well as the prices.

Jerk chicken was tasty as well as the oxtail and fried chicken. Service was great. Pro tip: Ensure your servers are smiling and making connections with the customer. If you maintain this level of service along with the delicious food...you business will be one to reckon with. 😉

Walked in realizing that I was starting my day missing something important before starting work. Ordered a chicken soup and oxtail with provisions and steam veg. Im writing this after finishing the soup. WOWWWWWW!! The broth was light and had simple ingredients I like such as corn, carrots, chicken of course, etc. For me, as long as the food is not too salty and has enough seasoning I am happy but for me I also loved the portion size of the small soup bowl. Enough to buss di gas and get me started on a Monday!! Oxtail portion was amazing!! Not ready to eat it yet but I can already tell it tastes good. Great customer service as well! Lovely man and woman working together to create beautiful food.

Food and prices are great and portions are also great but This place needs a special line for customers other than school children because some days I have to wait out my whole 20 mins lunch break just trying to put in my order, The children are always pushing and shoving and somehow always jump the line and I just walk out and go somewhere else.

The food here is ok to eat. Had the curry chicken, jerk chicken, and I tried the pumpkin rice. I was very disappointed with the jerk chicken. It reminded me of stew chicken with pepper, and the pumpkin rice had a lot of coconut milk in. Overall, the prices for food are reasonable compared to other carribean restaurants, and the portions are big. Keep improving guys

The BBQ chicken is great though I must admit its not traditional BBQ. Its fried and lightly glazed with sauce. However I love it this way as I dont like sweet saucy BBQ. They have other types of chicken and other Meats. I like the BBQ chicken so much i always have it. Fridays they have Pumpkin rice. Really good. Service efficient and good. Im grateful that they always accommodate my picky need. Food is ridiculously cheap, and this is not a good thing. There is no way a meal of chicken, rice and vegetable should cost less than a hotdog. Every time I go there I leave feeling guilty. I hope one day Ill live to see ethnic food being fairly priced.

This restaurant catered for my wedding on Dec. 4, 2022. Owners are very kind and friendly, they aim to satisfy your taste buds and they NEVER disappoint each time i go there to dine. So i ordered a variety of food for my wedding. Rice and peas, plain rice, fried chicken, curry goat, oxtail, jerk chicken, peppered shrimp and everything was very presentable visually and was also finger licking good. My guests were raving over the food. People were even coming to my home after the wedding for leftovers. Highly recommended. They deserve more than 5 stars.
