The level of service is unprofessional and discourteous from the start. The lady server’s rude demeanor creates an uncomfortable environment that is unacceptable for a customer-facing business. I do not spend my money where respect is lacking. This experience reflects a clear failure in basic customer service standards.

I am a vegan and I love coming here. I always get a lunch plate with their lentil stew (soooo good). Almost all of their sides are vegan as well! Their patties are also vegan and super tasty. Every employee I have encountered here has been nothing but kind. I live about 25 mins away but always stop by when I’m in the area!!

(Also get a juice when you stop by, they’re great!)

We absolutely love this place! We’d been wanting to visit for a while, but since most of my hospital appointments were in the mornings, we hadn’t had the chance until now. It was well worth the wait—the jerk chicken and sides were incredible, full of flavor and perfectly prepared. The atmosphere was warm and lively, with great music and an inviting ambience. On top of that, the lady who helped us was wonderfully pleasant and attentive, making the whole experience even better. We can’t wait to come back and try more from the menu!

They ruined beef pre-made patties for me. Their fresh beef patties are large and worth the price. And the curry goat was honestly the best I've tasted 😋.

Arianna was incredible. Best service I’ve had in a long time. Food was fresh, favor full and place was clean. Definitely recommend. Give my girl Arianna a bonus or something she was phenomenal

Greatest food ever. I'm glad i ordered the Jerk Chicken Bowl White Meat. It was seasoned perfectly. I'm definitely going back. The Small Rum Cake was delicious. The Small Bread Pudding was amazing. I just had to review it and let it be known on how good this place is.

My friend wanted to try this spot but I was hesitant to eat from here again. I live in Hackensack and it’s the closest to me but I really got tired of this place. But the other day i stopped in with my friend. And they must did something different are got new people because this place wasn’t great. I had curry goat and he had stew Chicken but we shared also. And it was soooooooooo good i mean thank god I gave it another shot. The greens finally got some seasoning and some taste. And the peas and rice was 10/10. The Mac and cheese needs some help but I’ll be back again. I hope they keep this staff

I must say the food was GREAT !!! I was iffy to try the food again after 2 months ago I had their food which wasn’t too great. But the jerk chicken gave me back home vibes straight off the grill🇯🇲. Well seasoned and moist. My mom also got the curry goat which she’s very picky but she said the curry goat was very tasty and good. Rice and peas was great, rice was not soggy like the last time. They must have a new chef because I was blown away with this food. Thank you very much, I must give credit.

It’s not really good. My lentils weren’t done. And idk what kind of soup they gave me just look like some leftover beans with water. I will not order from here again.

They do have a great vegetarian menu it’s just not good, at all. If I was starving it might taste better.

I called in at 8:10pm to explain it wanted to order food but would not be able to get there until 8:45pm. It is a 30min drive for me. The lady on the phone said it's fine as long as I get there before 9:00pm. While driving there i decided to call and order ahead of my arrive; at this point it was:8:33pm. The person on the phone this time said the kitchen is closed. I explained that I was not told that and was driving 30min to get food.

No regard for my time at all nor any ownership for their employees misinformation. Food is good but this experienced sacked. Really tarnished the business in my eyes.

I ordered stew chicken, Roti, oxtail, Mac n cheese, Roti looks like a tortilla that was put in the microwave. Mac and cheese from the box. Oxtail super greasy and the stewed chicken as well. This place will stay empty. $75.00 for nasty food. Yesss what you see in the pictures was $75.00 I’m fighting this. Straight up Nonsense

lovely one

They were not that pleasant..or even helpful
