Visited on two different weekends. The place is very dirty and needs a team to properly clean it up and paint it. The food is decent however the rice was stuck together and not the usual long grain texture that Jamaican restaurants serve. Both times I visited they were completely out of Oxtails and it was 7:00 in the evening. I got the pepper steak with rice n peas and cabbage with a side of plantains and I can only give it 3 stars because of the rice. This place is very overrated.
When I first tasted the food it was really good. Now the rice and peas is always somewhat soggy, too much water, and the food is more spicy than flavorful. One time we ordered on Door Dash/Uber Eats I cant remember which one, but they sent the wrong item, and when we called the young lady that answered was very nasty, and adamant it was our fault and our loss, luckily the App gave us our money back. I say this to say it can still do better towards the future!
I had their curry goat. Perfectly cooked. Not perfectly seasoned. Lots of people have compared this to authentic Jamaican food but Jamaica has much more seasoning. I'd buy it as a quick bite but not a craving. Lacks the expected flavors but the actual cook of the food was great.
