★★★★★ 5.0 Greg · Dec 2025

Best Jamaican food in the area. I cant even find no beef patties this good. Don't get me started on the oxtails. Very succulent, falls off the bone. Tendernism. These folk have mastered the Jamaican cuisine game. Very good food 👌🏿 😋

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Jermaine Williams · Jan 2026

The food is meh it's either hit or miss, alot of times they're too heavy on the salt or just not enough seasoning especially the jerk chicken (always too salty )Rasta Pasta ( bland); Brown Stew Chicken ( too sweet). The only thing that's consistently good is the curry chicken!

★★★★★ 5.0 Candacy Candacy · Oct 2022

Ordered on Ubereats, this food is amazing, jerk chicken is well cooked, funny thing, you guys should update your description, it will benefit you, I bought the mini jerk chicken thinking I was only getting chicken, to my delight, I received a PACKED bowl of piece chicken, peas n rice, cabbage on the side with ripe plantains, everything was DELECTABLE!!! Only thing the baked macaroni was a bit undercooked and didn’t have much flavor if eaten alone, also didn’t like presentation of that, it was loose, but it works if eaten with the food. And the dumplings were too delicious man, this will be my go to location for my Caribbean treats, side note, the rice seemed healthy too, was not oily or any, seemed steamed, not sure but I really appreciated that. Will shop again thank you so much!!

I wanted to give no stars but that wasn't an option. I ordered a large stew peas, beef patty with cocobread and a small goat head soup. The soup wasn't bad but the stew peas had no pig tail or even corn beef. It was brown like they added browning and tasteless. The beef patty was off and the cocobread stale. Very disappointing experience

Please stop serving old food! I ordered here a few months ago, ate half that night and the next morning the smell and texture was like I left it out for 3 days. I ordered it again last night hoping it was a fluke and the same exact thing happened. YUCK WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN
