When I tell you I think about this food when I’m out of town! It is SOOO good! Hands down the best in town! Just for reference, the line is usually out of the door when they first open. Be sure to get oxtail gravy on the rice & peas! Thank me later. 😘

There is always something amazing when your stomach and your heart speak about the same food, and this place is one of those. Amazing food, made with love and flavor!!! Will be back for sure!!

I was so excited to go here I bought two dinners and dessert! Oxtail is cooked perfect and its gravy was so tasty. The mango meatballs were incredible as well. I like spicy food and this wasn’t so I added my own heat. Please try the chocolate rum cake! Note, you can eat inside in a few seats but most people are getting it to go. Also, the portions are huge!!! Super nice people working there as well.

Oh yeah, if you hungry, get it before it sells out. It always does. They open at 1pm and the food is beyond good. My favorite is the oxtail and curry goat and a side of mango meatballs. They also have desert. You may not way to eat the rum cake and go back to work lol. You can taste the flavor 4 sho. Limited inside seating. They accept all forms of payment. Limited parking but it's free. Enjoy.

If I could give zero stars I WOULD! I called to place an order, and was directed to order online. Placed an order online, and upon walking in I was told that the website I ordered on is not hers and that someone else took my money. Also was told there is nothing she can do about it… absolutely NOTHING. No refund , no dessert to accommodate the inconvenience. First impression is a lasting impression.

Where do I begin ! ? since I found this Jamaica restaurant I really can not eat from any other Jamaican restaurant in this area . I pass 3 Jamaican restaurants to get here from my home and never regret it! The consistent in this place is outstanding! The staff are always so polite with positive energy. The food is always fresh! Never oily! Never salty! Never under seasoned. I’ve eaten fish the most here but tried the chicken, oxtail and the pork as well. Everything always cooked CORRECT! I am an island woman only we understand the importance of authentic quality food, not being near family once you experience quality authentic Jamaican food you can’t go back to the basic ? the food here made it easier for me to stop eating fast food . You can taste the love and integrity. I haven’t eaten any ones fish the way I eat Miss. Helena’s fish. The consistency amazes you and keep you coming back ! Very grateful for the great experience and the consistency… your team is amazing ?

A LOYAL CUSTOMER.
