As always and as expected, the same nickel and dime strategy as most Jamaican restaurants, I ordered a large curry goat on Uber Eats, cost me over $35, over 70% of pieces were fatty inedible pieces of goat. In addition, the closer I got...Read More

This restaurant has the tastiest Caribbean food! My husband and I got chicken soup, curry goat, brown stew fish and ice cream. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. The portion sizes were great, and the employees displayed excellent customer service. I will definitely be returning!

This place has great food but terrible service. You can expect to be here all day waiting for food, as it feels like the staff have no understanding of timing and people's schedules. It takes about 15 minutes just to be acknowledged, and then another...Read More

If you're thinking of ordering from them through Uber Eats, I wouldn't recommend it. I used to order from this restaurant, and it was great at first, but over time, the food quality has really dropped. It seems like they only cook once or twice...Read More

Was craving ackee & saltfish. However when I got it, I was highly disappointed. Ackee was mushy, saltfish was big pieces, and worst of all, had no flavor, even though there was red and green peppers. The dumplings and festivals were a bit overfried...Read More
