I have Iamaican roots and this is THE ONLY restaurant in CT that serves authentic Jamaican Food the Escoveitch Red Snapper with rice & peas with veggies, is my favorite.. it’s a humble spot with a storefront in the restaurant, This is exactly how small restaurants in Jamaica the main island operate, Authentic🏆

Today I felt like be on the wild side and tried oxtail and curry goat combination. Oh let me tell you I was not disappointed. I’m very indecisive and when I’m hungry. This will definitely be my go to spot whenever I’m visiting Newbritain.

I order jerk chicken and got over night stew or baked chicken, tha cabbage tasted like it was in metal pan. Only thing I could eat was the rice without gravy. So pissed I bought this 10 in the morning
