THE BEST JAMAICAN FOOD IN LA - as a former New Yorker who acquired the great taste of authentic Jamaican food - this will always be #1 here. The portion me are large. I can sometimes get 2 meal. Out of the platter. The food is always served HOT. They just never miss. The service is typical Jamaican restaurant service IYKYK. The vibe is in and out.

So this place loses a star just because it took nearly an hour to get our food. Pretty sure they forgot to make it. When we first came in we were the only ones there. About 20 min later they ended up having a dinner rush and lot of people came, lots of take out orders but plenty of people ordering at the counter and getting their food way before us. Even though we were there first. But the food was super good and well worth the wait. I ordered the Saltfish with festival bread and my husband got the vegan jerk jackfruit plate. The portions are huge! We definitely could've just shared the plate. The plate comes with plantains, rice and beans, veggies and bread. It was super filling and great for the prices next time I'll definitely be calling ahead of time since the food comes in disposable boxes anyways

The service is fantastic. They replaced an overcooked meal I ordered a week ago with the Steamed Red Snapper and it was good and tender. Thank you Melissa.

I have never been to Jamaica but of all Jamaican restaurants or even a few home cooked Jamaican meals I have had, this is the best. Def in my top 3 fav restaurants. The place itself is no frills but what you come here for is the food. The jerk chicken is my favorite. Mmm the sauce mixed w the rice and peas is to die for. A plate is def enough for two people unless you have a large appetite. Patties are good as well. Don't forget to ask for their habanero sauce if you like extra spice. The owner and her daughters are super sweet. I've been coming here since 2013? I think and it's still amazing. Check it out!

My husband and I come her often and they have the best Jamaican food we have ever had. The service is really good, and the plates are big. We are vegan and the Jackfruit platter is amazing. If you’re vegan then this is definitely worth to try.

The sumptuous PORTIONS !! It's healthy, clean eating ! I return over & over again for the Jerk chicken wrap. The way the aged cheddar cheese mingles with those traditional spices. I appreciate the never swaying personable service too ! Thank the Hard Working individuals that exist and lead locally-- I bemoan driving to Culver City for inspirational dinning.
