I tried it. And I don’t really care for it. The jerk pork is basically chopped ribs with barbecue sauce ….bones galore and the oxtail was 90% fat probably won’t go back.

I went in to grab some food because I wasn’t feeling too well. The guy who served me recommend their ginger beer and it helped me feel so much better plus the food.

Really good authentic yarde style food out here in Middletown. Being from Hartford I know good Jamaican food when I taste it and they got it, the cook pops out every now and then to great you like a sweet mom. Staff upfront is super nice and accommodating. Keep up the great work guys.

Summary- cozy spot offering Jamaican classics. You will enjoy your experience here.
Full review- Just found out about this gem and had to try it. As a connoisseur of Caribbean cuisine it is our mission to try and review every restaurant we can in the area.
Apparently, they’ve been open for a few months but we weren’t aware. Found them on a google maps search at 5.05pm on Saturday. The listing said they closed at 5pm. On a whim called the phone number immediately and pleaded with them to stay open for pick up. The kind lady replied that she was planning to be open for another couple of hours. So I jumped in the car and headed over there quickly.
We ordered variety of dishes : - Chicken jerk chicken - Curry goat - Oxtail
The jerk chicken was running out so we completed the order with a little bit of stew chicken.
All the dishes were very good. The rice and peas were truly special - Perhaps an extra dose of Love❤️ The Stew chicken was also outstanding. We will be ordering all these dishes again.
The location is incredibly convenient. it is on College Street literally a block from Main Street.
Middletown is emerging us a culinary destination, and this lovely cozy Jamaican spot really elevates the game.
The food is good. The people are wonderful. the location is fantastic.
Parking: Plenty of parking- street, garage.
Kid-friendliness: Very kid friendly

Delicious food, friendly staff. Will be coming back soon. Must try if you live in
Incredible Jamaican food. Very friendly service. They had no problems going over all the available items and answering questions. Brown stew chicken smelled and tasted amazing. Oxtail was tender and straight from the kitchen. Giant baked goods so fresh you could still see the steam in the case. Plenty of indoor seating. Depending on the time of day they might be out of something but they’re very accommodating and will let you know when they can restock. There have been a few times where they’re closed despite their posted hours but overall, great new spot in Middletown for Jamaican food!

Do not order from DoorDash! The majority of the container was filled with rice and barely any meat! Spent $40 on door dash for curry goat and chicken and barely got any meat! But other than that good tasting food!

Today was my first time going here and the service was really fast and friendly! I brought my boyfriend who is really particular about his oxtail and he was impressed with both the price and taste. Would definitely recommend :)

Ran into this gem on the way back home from long trip! Customer service was above par! as soon as you walk in the door you are greeted and feel welcomed. Great family and even better food! Fresh food! And some of the BEST jamaican food I've had in the surrounding states! Even spinners in the curry gravy! That's how you know it's authentic! 5 stars ?

So tasty! We ordered the goat curry, jerk chicken, and oxtail with rice and beans. Everything melted off the bone and was perfectly spicy! We also ordered the mango cake and I would absolutely order it again!
