“The food was delicious from the rice cabbage and ox tails 10 out of 10 I will revisit soon“

“I'm not sure what they did with those sides items but my side dishes stayed HOT my entire meal and it was cold in the building. I know I stayed in the restaurant eating my food for about 30-40 min, usually your food is not smoking, sizzling, hot to touch after about 5-10 mins. I had to blow my food before eating with every bite, even when I put it in my to go container, it was still steaming hot!
The food was amazing, 20/10! I would definitely eat here again & recommend this place to my friends & family.

When I arrived, it was only 1 staff member working the lobby area, Jessica. Jessica was the bartender, waitress, & hostess. When I arrived it was 1 table seated. Then I arrived after me more people came kept coming in and she never dropped her composure. Every time the bell would ring with more people coming in, she remained posed, greeted everyone with a smile & was very friendly. Jessica has amazing customer service!“

“We had an amazing experience at this place last weekend. We all went there as a group of friends last Saturday and the whole group could not stop talking about the food for a whole week!!! Our favorite was the pate kòde, hands down the best I’ve ever had in the states!!!!! I also had some lalo but it was a little bitter, hopefuly they fix it after. My husband had the turkey tassot as a fritay platter and it was delicious!!!! My son had the diri kole and ate the whole bowl by himself. The rice is soooo good, don’t even need any gravy to eat with it! The sos pwa was delicious as well! Our friend had the kabrit (goat) and it was also delicious!!! Finally, the customer service was great and the owner is supper sweet and patient. I just found my new favorite restaurant in the area, can’t wait to be back this weekend!!!!!!“

“Wonderful food and entertainment clean environment. Highly recommended.“

“Very good food! Very clean restaurant!

I went at lunchtime and was hungry for Oxtail. However, the Oxtail wasn't ready and I had to wait 30 minutes for it. I took off one star for the restaurant not properly timing the dishes to be ready at lunchtime. (I believe all dishes should be available at lunchtime!)

Otherwise, great restaurant!“

“Beef patties & oxtails w/rice & peas are soooo good!!“
