“I've been here before and I liked the food but this place has really pushed things up, I loved everything I had, the oxtail tasted like stew ( not like sugar I've had at other places) I enjoyed the heat on the rasta pasta and the sides of potatoe salad and collards were a delight. Definitely going back before the year is out“

“Chef Monique & her team provide a culinary experience for your soul! The food we catered (Mac & cheese, greens & cabbage mix, along with jerk salmon) were all delicious with the perfect amount of heat. The dishes were beautifully presented for us upon pick-up to warm easily for our gathering with specific warming instructions to prevent drying out. Our family appreciated the hands that prepared our feast. Chef Mo goes out of her way to make sure details are met with a smile! I would highly recommend everything on the menu.
Thanks Chef Mo & your Team! 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“Had the catfish poboy at uptown night Market! They told me 15 minutes was done in 15 minutes. It was a large fried catfish filet and it was perfectly crispy. I think the tartar sauce may have needed a little more salt but overall great experience. Reminded me of Louisiana“

Additionally they were super friendly and easy to work with and super punctual with delivery. 10 out of 10!“
