WORST BEEF PATTY EVER. ITS MICROWAVED AND GUMMY NOT THE FLAKY CRUST I REMEMBER FROM THE CARIBBEAN. I ASKED FOR SCOTCH BONNET AND WAS TOLD NO IM SUPPOSED TO EAT IT WITH TAMARIND SAUCE. FAKE CARIBBEAN FOOD DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! DUBPLATE IS WAY MORE AUTHENTIC!!!

1. ROTI WAS NOT FRESH, CHICKEN HAD A FROZEN TASTE THE CURRY WAS WEAK, VERY SMALL SIZE MISSING ALOT OF OTHER INGREDIENTS LIKE PUMPKIN, MANGO, CHANNA, BHAGI, THE DHALPURI WAS NOT FILL WITH GROUND CHICK PEAS, .. NOTHING LIKE A REAL TRINI ROTI... On a scale 1-10 I RATE #2 FOR TRYING.. The clientele that comes in and out of the restaurant Probably I'm not familiar with a good roti... Whatever island someone is from that's the type of food they should cook. You can't make Caribbean food from all different islands. If you're from Jamaica, you cook Jamaican food, If you're from Trinidad you cook Trinidadian food. If you're from Barbados, you cook barbarian food, Can't cook all across-the-board because flavors are not there. The pholouri & tamarind chutney sauce both needed seasoning had a weak taste.. The Jerk taste like it was a store bought brand...my family was very disappointed they tossed it..
I realized there's no good West Indian restaurants in Sacramento, the only places is in Oakland, San Francisco, Los Angeles. They have real Trinidad, Barbados and Jamaican food.
We go on vacation twice?? ?? ?? ?? twice a year to the same islands...
When we want real good tasting West Indian food we drive to the bay area or wait until vacation time....
RESTAURANT IN GREAT LOCATION ?
MEALS ARE NOT SATISFYING..
I have a solution for you if you hire a Jamaican cook & Trini cook You can't go wrong & your Clientele would be amazing in your restaurant. Would not be so vacated Mondays-Fridays.
Thank you

Very tasty jerk chicken with rice n beans, I loved their homemade peanut dressing and their sorrel was perfectly tart! Lots of folks came in asking for their half curry half jerk plate- I'll have to try that next! check out this spot for yourself next time your at the Capitol!

Came by here with family as a pit stop after visiting the State Capitol for lunch. We made it just in time, 45 min before closing which would have been 2:30pm.Ordered jerk chicken plates. The food was simple, and honest. It was great! The jerk chicken was flavored just right and cooked well. It was served on rice and beans with salad. Picked the peanut sauce for the dressing and did not regret! If you like sauces and are stopping by, ask for extra!The owners are very friendly and personable. There is Caribbean music playing. The seating and env is simple and friendly. Next time I'm in town, I would come back!

I've been wanting to go to this place since last year. We finally made it on a Friday to check out the oxtail. It was very good. It reminded me of the oxtail my parents make. We also had the j*** chicken plate. It was very good. The ginger beer was refreshing, bright, & had that crisp bite to it. I would definitely go back again. The service was very friendly. We dined in to enjoy our meal but there was a steady stream of people coming in for take-out orders. Next time I want to try one of the curry dishes.

The food was homestyle and simple. What we really enjoyed was their service. They came and checked in on us. They offered “the best” lemon cake ever to my toddler. We obviously devoured some ;) before leaving they gave a cookie too for the road. Very thoughtful owners.

I had been eying this place on my walking lunch breaks and on my drive home after work. I finally got the opportunity to eat lunch here. I got the Oxtails (only on Friday) so it was my lucky day! The Oxtails were delicious ? and to compliment the tender Oxtails was a nice portion of the beans and rice. The red chili sauce is pretty spicy and adds a great kick to every bite. I didn't catch the owners names, but they were so sweet and welcoming. I will definitely be back next Friday!
