Stumbled upon this place by accident, and it was absolutley amazing.Very unassuming from the outside, it was a forced lunch choice since it had free available parking in its own lot and the rest of the streets were parked up.Walking through the front door you step into a tropical half inside half outside paradise that smells of amazing jerk chicken, the staff was amazing, super friendly and helpful with suggestions and the food was even better.We had empanadas, jerk chicken, rice, curry and a few other items and they were all 5/5 for flavour and freshness. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an amazing lunch spot, it was one of the highlights of our entire trip.

Such a hidden gem! We loved it here, especially the Saturday jazz live… food is good, portions may not be enough for some. Nice atmosphere and good service. We will be back :)

Servers are always friendly and working hard, although I can’t help but feel there’s problems with management. I’ve been here at least five times, and they are always understaffed. This time a party of six got food before us despite us arriving and ordering before by at least 20 minutes. After 40 minutes we were told they didn’t have ingredients for one of the entrees ordered despite ordering entrees at first order. This is something that should be addressed asap, not after waiting awhile. Also, side note, love the live jazz although it’s often hard to have a conversation because of how loud the music is. Really hope they at least staff more people. I know I’m not the only one that feels this way.

This place is adorable and I loved the jerk chicken. Very spicy. Coconut rice and peas were tasty and the salad had a nice citrus dressing on it. It was lovely. Mine came right out. I was the only one there!!! I wished people were at this place on a Tuesday night.

Awesome, unique, authentic experience. The patio is so lovely and all the food was amazing. We snuggled with Lola, the shop cat, and enjoyed live jazz music. The servers were so friendly and everything we ordered was delicious, including kids' meals.

Pretty quiet night I think it was midweek. Only two tables had people. Good vegan curry. Friend had empanadas and chicken curry both looked great.
