I was visiting Salem from a few States over and as I was looking for places to eat I came across this place which on paper seemed relatively decent. When I actually went to the restaurant I was the only person there. That should’ve been my first warning but despite the big red flag in front of me, I decided to place my order for a shawarma wrap to go. The staff was friendly and the food came quickly but as I made it to my car and opened the styrofoam container I was greeted with my $20 mistake. The shawarma was made with the wrong bread, it had no flavor, the chicken was dry and there was lettuce in it. I don’t think I’ve ever had a shawarma anywhere in the world with lettuce in it, and I sincerely believe that the shawarma gods are more than likely appalled by the violation of their tradition in this establishment. Please do better. Y’all need actual Mediterranean chefs back there💔🥀

Stopped in for a quick lunch. They have a daily lunch special 11a-3p. Got the curry chicken which came with rice, steamed veggies, a fried plantain, and a drink. Awesome service, delicious food, great deal! I’ll definitely be back.

Great food that puts a smile on your face :) The lunch special is affordable and very filling! The oxtails were some of the best food I’ve had in a while.

Curried goat was really good with all the sides. I asked for mint tea and it was fresh mint leaves, really delicious.

My fiancé and I were craving oxtail and decided to order from this Jamaican restaurant—and let me just say, the food did not disappoint! The oxtail was tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Everything we tried was seasoned so well and packed with flavor.
I forgot to grab the chef’s name, but whoever was behind the food that night deserves a big shoutout. You can tell there’s real love and skill going into the cooking here. We’ll definitely be ordering again—highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic, delicious Jamaican food! I was not able to take pictures but we will be back and let me not forget my beef patty- I ate it for lunch and it was perfect!

This place is excellent! The lunch special is solid - the jerk chicken is delicious and tender, served bone-in and chopped into 3-4 pieces, over peas and rice and some fried plantains - and the rest of the menu has something for everyone. I almost always get two beef and cheese patties to go, they're always warm and flavorful, and they have a bit of spice too, talk about comfort food! Ray himself is usually behind the register when I go in, he has such a warm and welcoming personality and he's made his spot a comfortable, convenient location for delicious food that is really hard to find. On top of that he's willing to chat for a bit and he has a great memory, making each visit feel more and more comfortable and personable. Highly recommended, even if you're just visiting!
