Meh. The portions are really good but the food itself is kinda middling. the rice & peas is bland, the oxtail could be better, but the Mac n Cheese is pretty good. As for service, there was a line but the staff wasn't rude or anything. Overall, not bad but not great either.

Very very rude… I think they believe because they sell food that it’s ok to be rude. They will not be taking any of my coins. Disgusting

Let me tell you something, you have to get the oxtails with rice and peas and steamed cabbage. I'm not a huge fan of a lot of rice, so I asked the young lady behind the counter if I could substitute some of the rice for extra vegetables, and she was more than willing to accommodate me—which was great service right off the bat! The food itself was delicious. The oxtails were tender, fall-off-the-bone perfection, and the amount of rice I had was just right. But the steamed cabbage and veggies were fantastic, having that slight, satisfying crunch that made them truly stand out. I truly enjoyed the food from here, and the young lady behind the counter was great! The food is delicious—stop in, you won't be disappointed!

Greedy unethical business practices. I used to order two large size porridge from them on ubereats roughly twice a week. After about a month or so I noticed they stopped offering the large size which is a $3.00 uncharge/addon from the extremely small size that they sell for $10.
Essentially greedy owners who decided fleecing their customers by charging $10 for 6-8oz of porridge vs $13 for the larger size. They have lost my business as I will never support this company moving forward.

It’s honestly a shame, because the food here is really good — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. You can tell the kitchen staff takes pride in what they do. But all of that gets overshadowed by how unbelievably rude and unprofessional the service is. The staff acts like they’re doing you a favor just by acknowledging you, and the attitude is consistent — cold, dismissive, and sometimes downright disrespectful.
I’m not the only one who feels this way. If you take a moment to read through other reviews, you’ll see the same pattern of complaints about rude service and unwelcoming staff. That says a lot about the management. When so many people notice the same thing, it’s clear the issue is being ignored.
It’s really disappointing because this could easily be a top-rated place if the customer service matched the quality of the food. Restaurants depend on repeat customers, and no matter how good the food is, people won’t come back if they’re treated poorly. Rude service doesn’t just ruin someone’s meal — it damages the restaurant’s reputation and drives business away.
Management seriously needs to step up, retrain their staff, and take these complaints seriously. With a better attitude and a little more respect for customers, this could be an amazing place. Until that happens, it’s hard to recommend coming here, no matter how good the food tastes.
The soup was abit salty, could go easy on the spices but reminds me of real Jamaican menu. The service is abit slow, wait time
is long which means business is good. Most people pre-order to go

The food is good, but the cashiers are rude. Your order and food and they always whispering something about you.
