What a great find. Food was outstanding and so full of flavor. We had the jerk chicken and the stew chicken.

Brown stew chicken was hard and tough. Oxtail was not tender. Even the plantain was dry. Shouldn’t serve old food. I rather you tell me you are out of food.

I purchased a fried chicken w/ curry gravy and rice & peas to go. When I got home I took a bite and saw the meat was not cooked and blood running out. I was distraught because I really looked forward to eating a hot meal. I called the store and told Ms. Jenn the person that answered the phone, she stated I could come back for another plate. I went back a week later which is when I had time and Ms. Jenn then told me she could only replace the meat because nothing was wrong with the rice. I said what about my inconvenience and after seeing the blood I threw the whole plate away. She argued w/ Me that I have to pay for the rice. The other worker Deescalated the situation by making a new plate of jerk chicken with rice. The portion was so small and I still didn't feel satisfied as I originally paid $16 for the plate of food that is not worth it. So I get home and I take a bite and it's the exact same thing. The Jerk chicken was red on the inside. I give up. They lost a customer. I works never recommend this place and the food does not taste good. The customer service was so horrible I had to post a review.

I don't usually go to this location. The person who answered the phone question was nice, and I ordered a mini stew peas without the meat. That food has always been one of my favorites ever since growing up in Jamaica.
