The location on 79th horrible
First time I ever had Jamaican food. All I have to say is “yumm”!!! Definitely will come back!!
Honestly so good.
I got the pineapple jerk chicken, yams, rice, & greens and it was all FIREEE. The chicken was moist, the yams were perfectly seasoned, & the rice was delicious. My boyfriend got the jerk salad & really enjoyed it too! Only flaw was there was a lot of bones in his chicken in the salad which is kinda meh when you order a salad, you know? But it didn't bother him too much. The wait time was 30 minutes, so not too bad by phone order. Both our meals together...read full review
