Can't speak for the food, but this place for sure captures the authentic Jamaican tradition of not being open when they say they will be, made me feel like I was on the Island. Great Job!

Yall we had to wait over an hour for our food (it was a Wednesday at 2 pm), and I don’t know why I’ve had so many master glazers tell me that the jerk pasta is life changing it was literally good at best that’s it. Like it’s good but I expected more flavor I wouldn’t really say worth the price (which is a buck and a half)

Our daughter is a sophomore at UofM, and since the beginning of her freshman year, we have been visiting once a week to take her out to eat and just get her away from campus. Well, we found this place and must say that it was rather delicious. We visited Jamaica back in 2016 and the food tasted just as authentic as the food in the country. I'm pretty sure we will be eating here again!
