Lunch special Curry chicken only had two pieces. Somewhat disappointing, but tasty. Pineapple ginger drink was really good. Lunch special with drink and coco bread $21.

Brown stew is bland with too much fat. And the owner’s customer service is poor.

Gotta give this place another try! Food has gotten 10x better! From the moment I walked in—I knew something was different! I could smell the freshly prepared food! They seem to have new chefs who care about the food they are cooking, and serving. I had curry goat, and curry chicken with rice & beans. It was sooo good! Everything was properly seasoned, was served hot, and was reasonably priced! Will definitely come back! Big thanks to Stanley, and his new chefs! Best Jamaican food in the area now! ????

Came here for a lunch special and nothing was special about this meal once you walk in the place IT'S nice but it's like a ghost town I greeted the owners which I notice how they didn't speak with me coming in anywho I ordered the brown stew and curry chicken she gave as two little pieces of meat in both boxes with very little rice peas and cabbage enough for 5 spoonful literally the MEAT had NO TASTE AT ALL AND THE RICE MUST HAVE BEEN OLD BECAUSE I ATE SOME PUT IT ON MY COUNTERTOP AND CAME BACK TO GIVE IT ANOTHER TRY THE RICE HAD A FUNKY SMELL TO IT .... SORRY BUT NOT SORRY YOU GUYS NEED TO TREAT THE COMMUNITIES MONEY WITH CARE WE COME AND PAY FOR AUTHENTIC JAMAICAN FOOD AND NOT WHAT YOUR TRYING TO PASS IT OFF ?

I had the j*** chicken pasta. The pasta sauce was honestly the only good thing. The penne noodles were slightly overcooked. The chicken tasted like processed chicken which I didn’t like however it was seasoned well.

The services were great but the food sucks, of all the Jamaican food I’ve ever had, the food was terrible, it didn’t even taste like Authentic Jamaican food, it was like they were just trying to make it like Jamaican but they couldn’t and I’m Jamaican so I know how it’s suppose to taste but not everyone who cooks actually knows what they are doing, This place has disgraced the culture of Jamaica

Customer service in regards to communication is great, however... I ordered a J*** Chicken lunch special, I didn't look in di container before I left but if I had I would have canceled di bloodclaat order. Twas more bone den anyting. Literally 2 ½ bites of chicken... di rice & peas waa great. Di beef patty felt & tasted old which made no sense being that it waa 11am in di mawning! And di cabbage was cold & very sweet. I left a tip before even knowing dis was what to expect.

I was looking for a great Jamaican spot and stumbled on this gem. The food was 10 out of 10, I had the rice and peas, cabbage and curry chicken. The owner was delightful and all around good vibes. I plan on going back when I’m in town, definitely recommend!

I wanted to make this my "go to" spot. I have a hair appointment right next door and had hoped to make it a regular stop. But I dropped in, placed an order, and the price changed after I ordered. I was pointed to the faint footer on the menu that prices are subject to change. I got a 20% increase on my order. And, I was not that delighted with my food. Oh well. I'll keep looking.
