Omg this place is magic. It’s a frigid cold day and my fiancé asked me to make a five-hour Caribbean recipe, which I was not about to do. So happy I ordered takeout here instead. The service was great, but more importantly; the food was 🤯! good. Soooo delicious, and hit all the right spots: warm and comforting, but also spicy and flavorful with a kick, just a joy all-around. One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. I’m beyond grateful to have experienced this plate full of love, and can’t wait to eat it again many, many times going forward!

Had the Chicken Stew, mac and cheese, and the Goat Curry here. The sauces were unreal and meat fell off the bone on both. Def recommend the rice and beans over the jasmine. Veggies were also wonderful. Best food I've had in crown heights so far. It was completely empty, which was off putting, but unwarranted. Service wasn't world class, but who cares. The mac and cheese was the best I've had outside my own kitchen. Make sure you ask for the house hot sauce. Portions are legit. We had leftovers. Thank you. <3

The food is outstanding!!! You’ve got to get there early if you’re getting the goat curry… it sells out quickly (and for good reason)! Everything is incredible on the menu

AMAZING! from start to finish, chef (and owner) should be on one of the Food Network shows. Not only is he personable and kind but his food is ridiculously delicious, jerk chicken wings, oxtail and macaroni and cheese (oh my), save room for dessert, which their mom makes, insane cheesecake with a pineapple crust and warm guava syrup over the top. WOW! What a meal! What a gifted chef and beautiful family run establishment this is. True soulful home cooking at its finest.
