This restaurant is no longer open. They shut it down. There is no mention of them going out of business on Google, Yelp, or Facebook. However, they did not shut down their on-line ordering site via Square or mention the business is no longer open via the Square ordering site. I placed an order yesterday via Square. It charged my card as if the business was still functional. I only found out they were no longer open for business when I got to the restaurant and it was locked up.
Pros: Quick service. Ample portion size.Cons: Rice wasn't done and was crunchy. Macaroni could've used more cheese.
Curry goat had excellent flavor just needed to cook longer. The bigger pieces were chewy. But overall taste really good.
I love this place! The food was delicious! The staff were graciously friendly.. I love the fact that they do not overcook their vegetables! I highly recommend this restaurant.
Wow! This food was fantastic. Fresh, tasty, and authentic. Can’t wait to go back. Pictured: veggie roti
I dined here on Saturday with a friend who was visiting. We wanted to eat somewhere close to where she was saying and she had a recommendation to eat here. This was an excellent choice. The food was delicious, especially the Bahamian Seafood Soup. The portion sizes were great.I live on the south side, but this will not deter me from driving here at least once a month. It is worth it. The young lady who served as our waitress gave great recommendations and was super friendly. I even brought some soup home for my mom and she loved it. Certainly my favorite Caribbean food spot in metro Atlanta.
My culture, family's heritage background is DEEPLY rooted in Cajun and Creole cuisine. That being said, the Seafood Stew was OMG off the charts DELICIOUS! So we're the habanero wings and the fried fish fritters appsThe Spiced rum drinks from the bar while waiting for our dinner order where yummy too! Big (sports) screens and good music playing. Plenty of comfortable seating in a laid back setting. Will be back soon to check out the rest of that amazing looking menu!!
Vegetarian options: Varied.
Parking: Easy, plentiful walk right up parking.
Delicious food and great customer service! The restaurant wasn’t too busy when I came in. The ambiance was nice and the vibe felt good. I ordered the j*** chicken egg rolls and the brown stew chicken. Both were tasty and I really enjoyed the cabbage and plantains as well. I’ll definitely be returning :)
We were in town from North Carolina and wanted to hit a good Jamaican/Caribbean restaurant. Found this place on Google and we were so glad we did! Staff was helpful in so many ways not just serving us some of the best food I've ever had. The Bob Marley drink is delicious (mix up for easy amazing drinking or don't and prepare for a buzz like no other). We had the curry chicken, blacken snapper and reggae salmon. All great choices!!! Also gave us directions to the nearest liquor store since we were in such a good mood after our great meal.
So happy to find a Carribean spot close to home that makes great food and a bar for drinks! Yay!!!

The food is amazing and the service is friendly. I got the j*** lasagna, which is a must try! I'm definitely be going back. Oh and sitting on the patio created an entire relaxing vibe
I honestly wouldn't recommend this spot because I feel like I got ripped off they literally gave me three little tiny dime-sized pieces of snapper two small shrimp and one small blue crab for $19 and there was some rice and peas and some veggies. I know prices have gone up but quality has also come down I see. It's crazy restaurants want to charge people more and then also give smaller portions the only thing that was the saving Grace for me was the positive attitude that my waitress had. So the customer service was good. Definitely will not be coming back.
We visited this black owned establishment on Saturday, March 5, 2022. We didn’t make a reservation and it wasn’t extremelycrowded when we arrived. Upon entry the sign stated to wait to be seated. There was a nice host who came to the front and greeted us and he sat us at a nice table by the bar. We received paper menus and the waiter assisted us with choosing non alcoholic beverages. We chose the cream soda and the ting for our drinks. The waiter let me try the ting and said if I didn’t like it he would allow to get another one and wouldn’t charge me for it. The ting was actually good and I kept it. It tasted like a sweet sparkling grapefruit soda. We decided to order the j*** chicken egg rolls as the appetizer, and for our main courses the curry goat and curry chicken. Our j*** chicken egg rolls came out shortly after we ordered them. The egg rolls were pretty decent I felt they could’ve used a bit more seasoning but they were crisp and crunchy. The egg rolls also came with a cabbage salad which was pretty good. It wasn’t dry at all and actually tasted fresh with a hint of vinegar. We were starving though so we devoured them quickly. Not long afterwards our main courses came out. The curry goat was the worst I’ve ever had. They gave me the back bones of the goat which was tough, chewy, rubbery, and had very little meat! I definitely felt like I didn’t get my moneys worth because curry goat isn’t supposed to have all those bones and it’s not supposed to be full of tendons and ligaments. I felt like I spent most of meal picking the bones apart only to get very little meat. You don’t even have to zoom in on my photo of the plate, you can clearly see I got some goat’s whole spinal cord on my plate! It was seasoned very well but I felt slighted on the actual quality of the meat I received. The back of the goat is by far the worst part you can eat because it’s full of bones, tendons, fat, and marrow. The rice and beans tasted ok and had decent flavor, but the included vegetables were pretty soggy. My boyfriend stated the curry chicken taste decent, he said it was seasoned well. This restaurant does give you huge portions so I did have enough for another day, but for $50 plus tip I expected better quality meat! The waiter and the lady at the bar did a good job of checking on us periodically throughout our dining experience. The restaurant is nice, clean, and minimalistic on the inside with tasteful decoration. The vibe in here was also laidback and chill even on a Saturday evening. After we finished our meal we paid at the counter in the front where we started. I did notice also that they have an 85 health score which is not good. They definitely need to work on that. Not to mention they had the back door open leading out to the patio so mosquitoes were getting in and around the table. I had to kill one when we first sat down at the table and I saw another one floating around us while we were eating. I don’t recommend this restaurant to anyone, they need to give better quality meat especially curry goat and the health score should at least be a 90 minimum. I won’t be returning and won’t recommend this place to anyone. I love to support black owned businesses, but I’m gonna leave an honest review every time of my experience. The quality of the food should match the level of service.
Food is delicious! I didn't get to take a picture of my food because I was too busy enjoying it. The portion sizes are huge. I enjoyed my leftovers the next day. The drink in the photo is a Bob Marley. Not only is it beautiful it is also delicious and effective. 10/10 would recommend.
Tried this place for the first time today was was not disappointed! Everything was delicious. The service, atmosphere and everything was perfect! Will definitely be back.
