“My fiancé and I absolutely love this place! Every time we come in the area we drive 3 1/2 hours and this is our first stop every time! We were recently in town and we ate here twice between two days. The food is always consistent and so flavorful! It may look like a hole in the wall, but it is the best food around!“

“This spot is hands down 5 stars! From the moment I walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine, and the food was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere felt so authentic—everything from the accents, to the sayings on the walls, to the bold flavors of the dishes made it feel like a little piece of Jamaica right here in Cali.

If you’re looking for not just great food but also a cultural experience, this is the place. I love how they stay true to the culture—it’s vibrant, welcoming, and unforgettable. I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“So yummy! Generous portions. I like this location more than the Venice. I don’t know why. It has a better flavor - more juicy and saucy. The garlic chicken. With rice and plantains and beans. So excellent. Very happy ! I order it to pick up/ eat at home. I can get 2-3 meals from it. If I make my own rice lol.“

“She is always a nice person . Food is decent but portions are a little small as far as meat is concerned . Being from the east coast we have plenty of island cuisine . And it feels good to get some in Inglewood. All she has to do is offer a bigger selection of food . Normally it's just one Jamaican dish to choose from and bean pies and the normal soups and American food . All are great. Just wish she had a bigger variety“
