I was just there about 45mins ago. Prepare to order ahead and a wait because the food is made fresh.I ordered the lobster shrimp pasta. Good serving chunky meat with cream pasta sauce. BUT... I'm not sure why the pasta sauce is sweet? It spoiled he anticipation of having a creamy Alfredo sauce. Why is it sweet? Pasta sauce, cheese and creamy sauce should not be sweet....Loose the sugar please.

First time eating from here. I had grilled salmon and shrimp with broccoli and potato salad. It was all delicious. But the Mac n cheese was god aweful..they make it sweet just like panfiyah which is weird because who puts sugar in macaroni and cheese? It was also dry in the inside and not cheesy. They call their Mac top tier and said it can’t be copied. Y’all don’t need to worry about anyone wanting that recipe.

The macaroni and cheese is sweet and the cheese seems to only be on the top. It’s a very interesting taste but it’s definitely not what I was expecting or wanting when I ordered it. My husband did not like the honey hot chicken and the white rice was hard. I got the stew snapper and the flavor & portion is good but a bit on the salty side. The sweet plantains are really soft & oily which means they fry the plantains when they are super ripe which isn’t my favorite. The steam vegetables weren’t bad but they are on the mushier side and could use a pinch of seasoning. I want to give them another try though since other reviews are good.

Stopped in for lunch on a recommendation from the nearby medical offices. Really glad I did. Carmen had a great suggestion for me -- the curry goat dish. It was delicious! The chef, Adi, knows what he is doing. I couldn't help but order a pineapple and ginger juice to go with it and I am glad I did. Overall just a fantastic place to eat. Will be stopping by again.
The food has gotten better over the years. I love how innovative the owner is with his menu. At first I wasn't a fan but I stuck around and I'm a huge fan now. The lamb chops and jerk wings have grown to be my favorite dish on the menu. I highly recommend trying them.

We had Rootz Bar & Cafe cater our event and the food consensus of all the attendees was that the meal was amazing! The flavour was so good, it reminded many of us of Jamaica. Thanks again for the great food and service, we look forward to having you cater for us again. We certainly recommend them.
The food is awesome and tastes authentic! The service is impressive and she always greets us with a smile! The ambiance and music make you want to stick around! The wings, Esco snapper, bang bang salad & pasta are top notch. Well you have what you like and decide for yourself!

As a Jamaican who doesn't enjoy eating at Jamaican restaurants, Rootz did it for me. The food was everything, the service was second to none. I dined in with a party of 4 and everyone was well pleased. I will be back for sure.

The food was great, had the curry shrimp which were a nice size not spicy but amazing flavors. We also enjoyed escovitch snappers and were delicious great spice and flavors. I like the plastic resealable containers unlike other restaurants that use Styrofoam clam shells.The only negative was that it was a long wait for the delivery. The food was delivered over an hour when the order was placed. The Uber driver had to wait awhile for food to be packed. We will definitely think of future orders.

Food was absolutely delish. Staff was very inviting and courteous. Tender oxtail and the fish was really good.
