Stopped by late evening and ordered a plate of seafood and chicken. Warning if you don’t want spicy, tell it in advance but remember the word “jerk” implies spiciness. Run by a very nice owner. Food and especially desserts awesome. The dalpuri rotis were amazing.

First bite was the beef patty and mi haffi stop right deh! di crust crispy, di filling seasoned proper. It instantly bring mi back to Tastee days. No joke, best beef patty inna di state. I also tried the black cake, and it did not disappoint, rich, moist, and full of flavor. As you can see in the picture, I ordered the jerk chicken with festival and rice & peas. Everything was authentic, well-seasoned, filling, and truly satisfying. I will absolutely be back.

Great experience all around. The food was freshly made and delicious! The service and ambiance was lovely. Their black cake was impeccable! Their fresh juices were next level. This spot reminds me of Island Grill in Jamaica. You have to stop by! It’s worth it!

Had the jerk chicken with rice and beans with plantains. The food was not bad but it lacked “taste”. The thing that I must liked was the plantains, so you may understand how “good” was this lunch. They need to improve the taste overall. Ive had much better jerk chicken with rice and beans on other Jamaican places.

Hello, I wanted to share feedback regarding my last two orders. Unfortunately, both experiences were disappointing. The cabbage and rice stuffed in the chicken roti were very heavy and not prepared as expected. Which having rice in roti was an 1st for me and it wasn’t a veggie roti I ordered. Additionally, the oxtail portion contained large bones with very little tough meat, especially at the bottom of the container. For a $50 order, I did not feel the quality or portion matched the price. I’ve ordered from your restaurant before and was satisfied, which is why this was surprising. I would appreciate if someone could review this and let me know how this can be resolved. Thank you for your time.
