Service was Bad, Portions were small, Prices were Large as well as the attitude of the woman taking my order. I ordered 2 small platters($35); 1 Jerk chicken in a tiny container filled with rice , a tablespoon of cabbage 1/2 of a chicken leg. Oxtails were tender and flavorful container also filled with rice. The lady acted as if it was a crime that I asked for gravy on the rice with the chicken. Needless to say I won’t be going back But if you are in the mood for decent Oxtails and bad service, this is your place

This Place is way over priced! I paid $23 a piece for 2 plates with oxtails and rice only to get 3 small bones with little to no flavor at all. It taste as if it was a burned black beans sauce. The curry chicken was a small for $13 it too was a very small portion. The chicken was a bit pink and very bland not much curry flavor or any other flavors. For this to be Jamaican I was expecting something very flavorful but yet I was very disappointed! Not worth the money! I probably will not dine here again.

The owner is amazing, and very pleasant. I’ve had both her oxtail and her curry goat and they are both equally delicious. The spiciness and the sweetness combined is just right. I will highly recommend.

Went to get some curry goat. Cashier had an attitude when inquiring about meal. Food presentation in the medium plate was messy. Curry goat tastes as if it wasn’t properly done and it was filled with oil. Rice needed to be cooked a bit more.

Oxtail was tender but tasted awful. Mac and cheese damn near tasted like white people made it. Don't mind paying more for good food or to support a Black business but the price doesn't match the quality of food.

Fresh patties always! I love that about them. I usually order the patties once in a while and they make it fresh for me! Love this authentic place!!

Little cute spot, but ordered a medium oxtail with rice and peas and cabbage. My biggest issue was how the oxtail was not cooked enough and still a little hard. wish they cooked it a little longer. Rice was regular. Cabbage was okay could’ve used a little love but both rice and cabbage was edible.

Service Matters, but these people don't seem to get it! I asked for light gravy, yet my food is drowning in gravy. Additionally, I get that later in the evening the food gets put away and has to be warmed up, but at least warm it up the whole way. Cold spots in what should be hot food is just unacceptable. I hope I don't get sick! Never again, because regular customers clearly do not matter!
