The egg rolls were delicious, with oxtails that fell off the bone and a flavorful taste. The jerk chicken was just right not too spicy but with a nice balance. The baked macaroni and cheese had a unique flavor, but it was still good.

OH SHE VEGAN

I wanted to try this Jamaican restaurant, but unfortunately my experience was disappointing. When I walked in, there was no cashier present, and it took about 15 minutes before anyone acknowledged us. It appeared the restaurant was understaffed, as the same person handling Uber Eats orders was also responsible for in-person customers.

I had to greet her of course!!! You know they are NEVER nice at these spots lol When I asked how long a jerk chicken meal would take, the staff member made a confused face , walked off & did not provide an estimated wait time. She walked away to focus on delivery orders without following up with Me she just gave a look like a long time which doesn’t make sense why isn’t this stuff made & ready to just go out ?

As someone who’s used to Jamaican restaurants in NYC being efficient with in-person service, this was frustrating. You can get a jerk chicken meal made in under 5 min in Brooklyn I ultimately decided not to order and won’t be returning. Better communication and prioritizing customers who are physically in the restaurant would really improve the experience

Whole bunch of uber eats delivery ppl
Camping out in there waiting forever for orders

I hate to leave anything other than 5 stars but I have to give a 1. Ordered jerk chicken meal with jerk shrimp egg rolls. The egg rolls was dry and just taste Shrimp flavored, barely any shrimp. Ordered rice and peas and it tasted just like plain white rice, very bland. Jerk chicken was ok, but. Definitely not jerk chicken. The place was on instagram as a gem so I wanted to try. But I was disappointed.

Greetings to whoever is reading this and is deciding to eat at the spot. Monday, November 24 my mother and I decided we wanted to try this spot out since we were in the area. We went to Google & found this place. We arrived here later in the day definitely after 7 o'clock I can't remember the time specifically. So my mother went in to place an order I stayed outside, when the food was done & we received it which the price came out to $153 dollars approximately. I remember my mother said to me the lady at the front desk was really rude and nasty.
That's just one thing that was wrong with our experience here, now the food was great I'm not going to even lie I really enjoyed it. HOWEVER we order their macaroni and cheese which was also good but it was a problem with it. My mother & I found broken white plastic pieces in our food when we was eating. I thought it was a bone at first because that's what it looked like but my mother confirmed that it wasn't it was PLASTIC. I lost my appetite right away. I would NEVER come back here EVER that's disgusting. It should be just food nothing else. This place is a no go if you asked me. Just beware if you come here & support them. Nasty attitudes from staff & things that's that's not supposed to be in your food is what you might get when you come here. Have a good one everyone!!

Slow and long wait even when ordering ahead. Burnt my egg rolls and never replaced them or refunded me as agreed.

We recently visited and tried the Jerk Chicken and Oxtail Egg Rolls, along with the Jerk Chicken Fries.

The Egg Rolls were very dry, and there was no special sauce available. The Jerk Chicken was decent when paired with the BBQ sauce, but the Oxtail Egg Rolls, priced at $18, were disappointing - two dry rolls for that price felt unreasonable. The Jerk Chicken Fries, however, were quite good.

Overall, the experience was okay. Some menu items might be better, but based on what we tried, a few dishes seemed overpriced.
