I LOOOOOVEEEE THEIR FOOD! The jerk chicken is absolutely AMAZING! ITS THE BEST JERK IVE EVER HAD! The flavors will make your taste buds explode! I've been eating from here for the last 3 years and I've never been disappointed! The owners are always nice and the patties and plantains are delicious! These people have the BEST sweet plantains, I've been to other places and nothing compares!
Also the prices and portions are beyond reasonable. I normally eat off of my plate for atleast 2 days!

Not sure why others are giving bad reviews, most of those reviews seem rather old though so here’s a new one:
I ordered via UberEats and got the large Oxtails with a small coconut water.
Oxtails: tender, delicious sauce, well cooked and a banger!
Rice & peas: perfectly cooked and smothering them with the sauce only makes it even better.
Platanos(plantain/maduros): Firm but soft, sweet but not overwhelmingly! Great taste, definitely fresh.
Carrots & cabbage: refreshing and tasty!
Coconut water: I wasn’t expecting it to be a tall can but even better! I also had never had some with pulp, very tasty + hydrating 😊
I really have no complaints! I even found their pricing to be significantly cheaper than other Caribbean restaurants around me. Seriously, 10/10 couldn’t recommend eating or ordering here enough! 🧡

It MADE ME POST 1 star but definitely need a 0 star! THAT WAS THE WORST CURRY CHICKEN I EVER TASTE IN MY LIFE! NO FLAVOR AT ALL NO SPICE OR NOTHING! I was so made when I got home and had a taste for curry and wA VERY DISAPPOINTED. The place was convenient because I had to go to Family Dollar and didn't feel like riding to Jamrock but next time I will DEFINITELY make that trip to JAMROCK NO MATTER WHAT! This place need some classes on SEASONING MEAT! Waste of my money
That plate cost to much to only have 4 oxtail booioooiiooooooooooooiiii
Just left, my first visit. Small stewed chicken was delicious. I was able to eat off of it twice !

I love a good "Mom and Pop" restaurant and this one is one of my favorites. The oxtail, the jerk chicken, the stew chicken, the curry chicken..... I enjoy it all. I've been going here for over a decade and I definitely plan to continue.

If you did not give this place five stars you are crazy. I got here all the time. This is the best jerk chicken in Atlanta. I don’t care.

Great place to eat authentic Caribbean food.
Gentleman is very courteous and welcoming. Curry Chicken patty is delicious with a spicy kick. Beef patty was dry and over flaky- did not seem fresh. Plantains had a strange taste. Food was just ok...
Vegetarian options: Kale and Callaloo, Vegetable Jamican Patty a 2 other options

Just go and try something different.
The best way to explain this place for me would be "7 hour old leftover pizza you forgot to refrigerate." Deep down you know its safe to eat, but science and your mind tells you its bad to enjoy. You cook it up and eat it anyways. Its still good as "expected".At the time they prepared my vegan dish (Sweet and sour sei), I could not help but notice the fact that they placed all of the serving spoons in one container of water, perhaps to keep the spoons clean. Now, I don't make a big deal out of issues like this, but I'm vegan so I don't eat meat or want any milk, butter etc. in my food. And it seemed like the same spoons being used to pick up the other items were being put in that same pot. Maybe they cleaned it before they placed it in the water? Maybe they did not.All I know is that I do not want to think about it. Taste of the food is good. Cabbage was sus though. The establishment needs Ramsey but the people here are not awful.
