I came and ordered Togo. The inside is nice and cozy. The girl that took my order was nice. I ordered oxtails. I have it a 4 because it was really good but missing the Jamaican flavor. I think they toned it down for everyone to enjoy it. The rice was ok. Could be more grainy. You will enjoy the meal.

I called this establishment prior to dining in, and the young man that answered the phone was very professional and enthusiastic. When I arrived, he was very hospitable.
I had the curry chicken and oxtail combo — it was delicious, tender, and the portions were large.
I look forward to coming back and trying some of the jerk chicken.
Thanks Julian! You went above and beyond.

Great flavors and portions at a reasonable price. Ordered the curry goat and jerk chicken combo!
We ordered the 3 Meat BBQ Plate and thd Ox Tail and Chicken Jerk Plate. Both were incredibly delicious and flavorful. This place is true to its name. I felt like I was at someone's backyard barbecue where everything was cooked with love. I could have eaten an entire bowl of the jerk seasoning alone. The only part that wasn't great were the fries that came with the BBQ plate, but everything else more than made up for that. Will definitely be coming here again.

Have to admit it is most poor tasting food specially for vegetarians. Food looked charred. I dunno whats the point of frying a tiny banana, it tasted so bad. The flavour was very bad just turmeric and nothing else. Have never tasted such bad food with poorly cooked veggies. The rice was of poor quality. The salads were bland and tasteless. Please improve the quality.

Uncooked chicken, we arrived home with two plates of chicken. In both plates the chicken was raw, is seriously dangerous, actually it’s not the first time that it’s happened, I don’t know how this place is still open, someone should be checking the food over there.

The food was incredible, and the service was outstanding. Highly recommended
The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was attentive and professional
The food portion was huge for the price. I had the jerk chicken and oxtail combo plate, both were juicy, tender and full of flavor. The ginger beer was very different from what I expected, and in a good way. Will go back again!

This was my first and last time at this restaurant. I purchased this food to eat on my way home but started eating in the parking lot because I was excited to taste it. If I lived closer I would definitely request a refund.
The cashier was friendly and professional and the gentleman that gave me my food was also friendly.
I never understand why restaurants serve food that is of poor quality or old. I ordered a coco bread to eat on the way home. As you can see in the picture that is not coco bread and it's old and completely dried out. The bun from my sandwich was not edible as it was stale and dried out as well. The chicken was very dry and hard, there's no way the owners of this establishment would be happy eating what is being served. The jerk chicken flavor was not bad at all but the dryness and texture ruined it. The festival is not traditional festival but it was enjoyable. The plantains were fresh and they gave a good amount in the side order. I really and truly hope they start putting more love into what is being served.
