Usually , their food is A1 compared to other JA restaurants in NJ. I’m from NY and d have yet to find restaurants with good food. Their oxtail stew peas and everything is good. But, I ordered the salt fish and okra and it was well seasoned but tasted like herring. Or smoked fish. The salt fish and smoke or herring wasn’t registering and did not satisfy my craving . The boil dumplin well nice though.

All hail the Queen of Jerk! 🇯🇲🌶️🍗
The BEST Jerk Chicken I've had outside of Jamaica! And oooooh baby! The candied yams, rice & peas, and sweet plantains! Only thing missing was that beautiful Caribbean Sea!

The food here is still tasty but the portion sizes aren’t adding up recently. There is no meat on the chicken, beef, or oxtail dishes. I’ve been getting a few small pieces of bone and that’s it. Sad part is the flavors of the food are great. This place used to serve normal portions but recently they have completely fallen off. My whole order is rice!
