Excellent customer service, which is sometimes rare for a Jamaican restaurant. This was my first time trying this establishment in my area, so I opted to buy a little order just in case. The meal was amazing, and I will be back.

Pops could improve his efficiency in the kitchen, as the wait for food can often be too long. While there are days when the food is enjoyable, there are also times when it doesn't meet expectations, and occasionally, it is served cold. The Jamaican lady at the seafood restaurant tends to charge a bit more for her dishes, which can feel unfair. Overall, the dining experience could benefit from more consistency. It might be a good idea for Pops to consider retiring, as a fresh approach could enhance the quality of the food and the overall service. Pops sometimes claims that the food is hot when, in fact, it is cold, and he gets upset when called out for overcharging a regular customer.

I ordered a chicken soup I was craving all day and was looking for a restaurant that sells soup. This was Sunday after thanksgiving so none of the restaurants made soup. This was the only restaurant in Brooklyn that had soup. I’m grateful for them and the soup was nice and hot and delicious. Thank you so much many blessings 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

I'm disturbed by a family member (who was recommended by me). He and his brother both visited your restaurant a few times (spending a lot of $$$) and every time is a surprise price. Today he was upset and told the server to display the prices he said will never return. ( you just lost another few customers $$$$).
I am very disappointed on how you are running your business and I know this place from when it first started- you guys know me. I have
recommended people, friends and family to eat here. The biggest problem is the non-set prices that every time you buy you don't know how much you going to end up paying. It's a surprise all the time. Different server-different prices- who knows if you have enough $ to pay. This is NO good
-then to read the owners responses to a few reviews ... to respond nonchalantly "thank you please come again" is definitely bad business and disappointing. Pops and Warren please do better! Please set your prices fairly and correctly, if you want to keep your business running instead of your customers running...?‍♀️

I started ordering from here cause it close to my job & the first time, the food was amazing, the goat was perfectly seasoned, the roti was nice & fluffy but the last few times I’ve ordered from here its like they give less & less food. My goat roti today was mainly bones, the seasoning isnt as it was the first time & its a little disappointing.

We started coming here several years ago and found by chance. We now come every time we visit our kid that lives in Brooklyn. Super friendly family and super authentic food. The dining room could be better but I’ll take the price over fine dining room every time. Thanks for keeping it real.
