I've been here twice. The first time, google told me they had goat roti, so I went. The woman at the counter said they don't have roti, which was strange because it was on the menu on the wall.
I figured, must be a miscommunication. Let me try again. Met a very nice lady at the cash this time. However, no goat, no lamb, only chicken. I was about to ask for the ox tail meal but opted for the chicken roti.
Next odd thing, only takeout, as it was almost 6 pm, and they won't allow anyone to dine in because they close at 7. And the weirdness continues.
Now, after my first bite, I realized that they can afford to be eccentric! This is absolutely delicious! Yes, i will go back and try my luck with lamb or goat roti. I've driven by this place so many times, but I didn't realize there was a hidden treasure here! It's expensive, but worth it.

Amazing jerk chicken and beef patties. The jerk chicken was so juicy and fell off the bone. The jerk chicken sauce is incredible for dipping. Perfect amount of heat and spice.

I first tried this restaurant at a catered event. The catering was excellent. 10/10. Jerk chicken was flavourful, moist, and saucy. Our restaurant visit left a lot to be desired. Hours listed say opens 12 onn Wednesday but it actually opened at 12:30, for takeout only. Service was unfortunate, food was ok. The portion size is generous but the flavours weren't all we'd hoped for. The oxtail was more like a veggie soup with some oxtail pieces. The jerk chicken wasn't at all the same as the catered version. One hit, one miss. Third time's the charm? Maybe we went on an off day.

So it's been a while since I was here, and this is muh first review......been here a few times before the pandemic.
I ordered the Oxtail and boy oh boy was it delicious...spiced just right with the perfect balance of heat. It came red beans and rice, mac salad, some fresh sliced veggies and a slice of a sweet banana/blueberry bread. Everything looked delicious and tasted amazingly well.
My dad ordered the fried fish (Friday to Weekend ONLY) option. The fish was topped with onoins and shredded carrots as well some tomatoe sause to top it off His came the same red beans and rice with macaroni salad and some fresh sliced veggies. As well as some hush Jamaican hush puppies. He was wonderfully surprised. It had the perfect balance of heat and spice was just perfect for him.....he's a senior..!
The service was prompt, was busy but had no issues with our food or any other service issues!

We've been coming here for over 10 year's. And something has changed. The oxtail isn't the same, they changed the beef patties. Server forgot our drink's, and made them wrong! An island breeze does not have tequila in it. Forgot our beef patties. Food was edible, but not enjoyable. We won't be back.

We went there when it opened and the oxtail and goat curry wasn't ready yet. They didn't have any more plantains either. So we ordered the jerk chicken and curry chicken with a spicy beef patty. The food was delicious and the rice and peas were so good. The patty was the best I've ever eaten. I'll go back next time to get the other stuff not available and probly go later in the day to make sure it's all available. This will be my go to jamaican fix now.

I got my food it looked uncooked. I brought it back she was being rude. I didn’t appreciate that. Also the time that they say they open they aren’t and they all have attitudes which is very disgusting. 0/10 would never go again don’t go unless you want to cry

I’ve ordered in here a couple times and most recently ordered the jerk chicken entree through Door Dash delivery and it was so delicious! The portions are fantastic for the price and the quality of the food is always consistent. Grateful to have an authentic Jamaican spot nearby!

Used to be great place, but food quality is very poor now. Jerk chicken was dry, salty and rubbery. Rice was also salty. Won't recommend.

$25 for a plate of food that taste like dog food I don’t know who’s eating this food and giving people these trash reviews but these people must eat dog food also because there’s nobody I come from Toronto and I’ll tell you I’ve never tasted trash like this in my life. These people should be ashamed of themselves, but they have a whole province of people that eat trash and don’t know good food to support these trash people staying in business.

It was my first experience with a Jamaican West Indian restaurant in B.C. My family loved the food!!! The curry chicken tasted like my mom made it in her own kitchen. Which is very rare

Felt like I was in country! Sign says open 11:30, gmail says noon. Opened as we arrived at noon. Cook just arrived so only thing available was 2 or 3 dishes from Wed. Asked when regular menu food would be available... waitress didn't know but likely 2 hours!! So we went to Taquiero Jalisco down the street.. 4 active tables & open for dining!!
Pity because I wanted to compare the food here with Riddim n' Spice as they are equal travel time from Poco.
