elebrating my birthday at Pigeon Peas was, without a doubt, the most beautiful and memorable dining experience I've ever had.

We were a large group--8 adults, 4 children, and an infant--and from the moment we walked through the doors you are not greeted as a customer but as an essential part of the heart and soul of the establishment. The warmth, the energy, the cultural richness--it felt like home. You can feel the love the moment you step inside.

A heartfelt thank you to the incredible owner, her daughter, and the extended family in the kitchen who prepared our food with so much care. Every grain of jollof rice, every perfectly fried piece of plantain, every dish--it was all made with love. The fusion of Nigerian and St. Lucian flavors is nothing short of magic.

I ordered the lentil and pumpkin patties along with the Naija bowl, and my family raved about the oxtail, jollof rice, curry shrimp, and pineapple ginger drink. And then came the smoothie... turmeric, mango, banana, and black pepper--made as a birthday complement. I am not a fan of smoothies, but this one? Hands down the best I've ever had.

They even played a birthday song for me, which was such a thoughtful surprise. I'm still glowing with love and gratitude a day later. Pigeon Peas has made my birthday so special, and I'll never forget it.

Even though it's a long drive for me, I will absolutely be back. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my celebration so full of joy, love, and unforgettable flavors. With deepest gratitude.

10/10 — So Good!
My husband and I tried this spot and loved everything! I had the oxtail egg roll and vegan chicken patty—both were packed with flavor. He had the vegan oxtails, rice & peas, cabbage, and a vegan beef patty—no crumbs left! Everything was seasoned perfectly. We’ll definitely be back!

First time here, initially thought we'd just get soup. We left with chicken roti, oxtail meal and a jerk chicken meal.
All tasty!!!
Clean restaurant and pleasant service.

Absolutely amazing vegan food, 10/10. Oxtail, vegan jerk kebabs, and the vegan shrimp po boy were some of the best vegan options I’ve had in a long time

Ignore the one-star reviews—this place deserves much better. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly warm, friendly, and a pleasure to speak with. Their hospitality stood out, especially in the way they explained each dish with genuine enthusiasm and passion. It’s clear they care deeply about what they serve, and that alone is enough to win you over.

Now, the food—absolutely phenomenal. The vegan oxtail was shockingly good; it tasted just like the real thing. Every bite was bursting with flavor and seasoned to perfection. This is definitely a place I’ll be returning to.

And let’s not forget the atmosphere. The vibe is cozy and welcoming, with smooth R&B music playing in the background, creating a relaxing and enjoyable dining experience. Highly recommended.

Stopped in and food was good! They didn't have the monthly Po'Boy I wanted so I went with the Shrimp Roti and Vegan Curry Shrimp. Everything tasted great. The portions were decent, even had a small platter left to take home. The young lady up front was helpful and kind. I'd come back again if I'm in the area.
