It's the first time i saw a restaurant use hotdog container for a lunch special. Asked for no plantain and they gave me no rice either. Curry chicken was supper salty. But the bread saved me. Probably won't get food there again
Easily the best Jamaican food Iβve ever had. Worth every cent.

The food here was absolutely incredible π€€π₯! I ordered the jerk chicken, and it was packed with flavor - perfectly spicy, smoky, and super juicy ππΆοΈ. Every bite was just amazing and definitely worth the wait ππ.
What made the experience even better was the kind service. I actually showed up a bit before they officially opened, and the lady was so nice and welcoming that she still let me come in ππ. That level of hospitality really stood out and made me feel appreciated as a customer π.
I had a feeling the food would be worth it, and it totally exceeded my expectations π―β¨. If youβre ever in the Lakeview area, this is definitely a spot you donβt want to miss ππ½οΈ. Highly recommend checking it out!

Should update there hour get here 630 they was closed
I had the best oxtail dinner with rice and peas, cabbage and plantain. The flavor was great, prepared nicely, but I only had about 5 small oxtail and one was quite fatty. Not a big deal nor complaint, I just think that for the price and as expensive as oxtails are, should be at least six (6) with the meal! This place is awesome and though I live on the southside, I find service and hospitality is s so much better here!

They are never open when they are supposed to be open and by the time they do open they have nothing. Like how do you just open and out of an item(s) on the menu. On top of that one evers answers the phone. Like today 3/14/26 I've been calling for the past 2 hours and just straight busy signal.

Ordered off GrubHub and for the price, the portions are extreme small and I receive so many bones in my curry goat, barely any cabbage and if this wasnβt a small business, I wouldβve complained and got a refund from GrubHub, but I didnβt want to do

Jerk chicken, and curry chicken was very good and flavorful. Sides: cabbage rice and beans and plantains came with it. Cabbage was cooked perfectly, not over or undercooked. Friendly staff. Parking is on the street.
