I just ordered medium curry goat and medium oxtail with ripe plantains. Firstly and sadly , the rice was like soup because of oxtail oil, literally the rice was soaked with oil or gravy , plantains were burnt outside inside was not fry and it was soaked with oil , first time ordering , I know oxtail is expensive so I won’t argue about the the two dwarf oxtail bone ( not meat that I got ) , disappointed after having a long day at work I wanted to treat my self with this meal.. curry mutton looked like prison food the mutton look as if it wasn’t properly prepared it was red like blood is in it . The rice was drowned in gravy . My stomach is upset . I’m sorry but I had to review this , I was not please . Please have a staff meeting .Ps I called it in and the lady apologize and she had good CSR skills but I’m still not please with the food , it came to 34.00 I work so hard this morning In the cold .

Really loved the texture and taste of the Sorrel cake, it was the best cake I've had in a longtime. Job well done ?

My wife (Jamaican) had the oxtail, rice and peas, mac and cheese, and cabbage. She gave her meal a solid 7 out of 10. I (US) had the j*** chicken and mac and cheese. I gave my meal a solid 8 out of 10. Here’s the bad part. We bought a beef patty and it was obvious it had sat all day. I can only give it a 3 out of 10. I must say out of many different Jamaican restaurants we’ve been to, and outside of being in Jamaica, this has to be the most authentic food out there. We will return. ?

I ordered the j*** chicken, Mac and cheese, and peas and rice. 10/10 chefs kiss. Amazing food! Probably the best chicken I’ve had in town. ??

The rice and peas were my favorite part of the meal. Curry chicken and mac n cheese were fine. It is a lot of food for what you pay which is nice. I think I'm a little more partial to Scotch Bonnet. I would recommend picking the food up yourself rather than relying on delivery service.

The j*** chicken is good the amount they give you is plenty. You can share if you like. The staff is very friendly

This brown stew fish is nothing I had before. I'm use to the snapper with head on and bones. These were fish cutlets that was not snapper fish. No bones in sight. Rice and peas had no taste at all. No words for the Mac and Cheese. No words at all. Such a disappointment. I threw it is the trash.

Ordered j*** Clinton beef patty and baked mac and cheese. Order came it was completely wrong. I received oxtail, rice and some vegetables that to be honest they were unrecognizable.I called they said the driver went home and I would have to bring it back, so I got in the car myself and headed to the store because it was only five minutes away.So I get there and they closed without waiting for me to exchange the order. So I end up not getting my food after driving to a rough part of town only to find they locked up on me.So I get back and decided to try the oxtail. It was terrible. Looked and tasted like they ran out of all seasoning in the entire restaurant. Couldn’t even take a third bite.I move on to the rice flavorless is not a strong enough adjective it would be almost a compliment to what that rice tasted like it will haunt me for the rest of my life.Veggies didn’t look good enough to try, even though I ordered a Arizona they also put a frozen solid lemonade in the bag which was just as heavy as the full plate of food I threw out never again.

I didn’t like any of my food and I had bbq chicken, mac and cheese and rice&peas. It was all lacking flavor. Won’t be coming back.
