Customer Reviews
I was craving Caribbean/Jamaican food. First of all they charge $26 per plate. I had ordered 2 plates of oxtail, rice and cabbage, cabbage was so white!! I expected to be getting really good food for that price. The food was so oily, the oil was just floating under the rice as I pushed the rice to the side on my plate. The meat and rice were burnt and also so sweet with no flavor!!!!I have never had sweet oxtail. HIGHLY disappointing for the price I paid I could’ve gone to a proper restaurant for that price!!!!
Parking at back, if your lucky to get one. They wait to hand out tickets there. The establishment itself is small, bar on one side tables on the other. You cant see the food, its all blocked up. I ordered doubles, asked for slight pepper, when I got home, I had the works, cucumber, loaded with pepper. Had to dump everything. After trying to eat a piece where there wasn't any pepper, it didn't taste that bad, just had to stay close to the bathroom. The person taking order was apparently in a bad mood. Won't be going back soon.
My 1st time here. The staff was cool and very nice. The dhal was really good. Doubles were tasty though spicy isn't spicy. There were a few things I tried to order that were out ok. This is my fault, I wanted veggie roti so bad I settled even though most ingredients were out. Wrong thing to do. I did not like it at all. I requested to have chickpeas and okra bc it was the only I would eat available. It lacked flavor and unless you are an okra lover, that was a hard no; don't do it. Chickpeas no real flavor and even the roti skin I was disappointed. I'm not here to discourage but it's not for me. I would go back for the dhal hands down. That was really good. To all my non-meat eaters.
The fresh drink selection is something unique and original. The food choices are what you'd expect and delicious, although really light on the spice and seasoning. Everything is pretty pricey for the portion size you get though. And there's multiple times now where I've been given the wrong food in my pickup order. With that being said though, I still recommend this place. The people are nice, the food and drinks are good.
Okay, listen...Stop reading reviews and order! The food is SUPERB!!! I was a little weary ordering because some places are hit or miss. This was a HIT. Great flavor, great portion size, oh and did I mention GREAT FLAVOR!!! WOW. I got the curry goat with buss up on the side, I nearly fainted when I dipped it in the gravy to taste it. Then the GOAT....man it flatlined me. I will be ordering again on Monday. 20 out of 10 highly recommend!!!
