Caribbean Restaurants in Gulfport, MS

“Absolutely incredible spot that feels and tastes like you’re right back on the island.

I had the Jerk Chicken with yellow rice, cabbage, and plantains, and my girlfriend got the Curry Chicken with rice & beans, mixed veggies, and plantains. Both plates were straight-up authentic. The jerk had that perfect smoky spice with just the right heat and had that perfect char, and the curry tasted like it came straight out of a Jamaican home kitchen. Everything was seasoned perfectly, nothing watered down, nothing “Americanized.” I wanted authentic and I am glad we stopped here.

You can tell this place cooks with real love and island soul. Even the plantains were done right; soft, caramelized, and slightly crisp on the edges. The yellow rice had that deep flavor that soaks up every bit of the sauce layered on it.

And I have to mention the woman who helped us was an absolute sweetheart. She made us feel like family the second we walked in. She was disappointed I live so far away and would be back regularly, but I sure wish I could be because she told me about their great weekday lunch specials! You just don’t get that kind of warmth and authenticity in many restaurants anymore.

This isn’t a chain. This isn’t some watered-down version of Caribbean food. This is real Jamaican comfort food, the kind that reminds you why small local spots like this are worth the drive.

If you’re craving the taste of the islands this is the place!!!“
