“If you like authentic Jamaican food with real spices, pepper and all that, this is the place to go. It’s very clean and well maintained. Thank you Bishop Lynne Middleton for introducing me to this amazing restaurant. Yes the food was delicious! I don’t normally eat outside fried chicken but I decided to give it try with rice & peas with oxtail gravy, callaloo. I enjoyed the meal for 2 days. Even my friend who ordered oxtail, she was raving about it as well. She said, “I should’ve ordered 3 more meals.” I’ll be returning there very soon with another friend who likes authentic Jamaican food. ?“

“3-14-2023 - This review is for take-out only, This is the first time trying food from this establishment. My husband and I had an order of Oxtails, Rice and Cabbage. The Oxtail meat was so very tender and tasty, but the Cabbage was hard and needed more time in the pan, the Rice was perfectly cooked and spicy. Overall, I will be ordering from here again and I will tell anyone who likes Jamaican food to give this place a try,“

“Very good food, drinks (descent) and atmosphere. The owners are friendly and will accommodate you as much as possible. I remember my very first time going there it was my 2018 2nd Masters Graduation celebration. The owner surprised me with a nice setting with tables and covered chairs, great lighting and the aviance was breathtaking. My guest, family and I thought it was quite impressive. The prices are reasonable as well.“

“Great environment to go to“

“Stumbled upon this place when I was looking for some Jamaican food to take home and this place served the best roti I have ever had, and I've had many. The jerk pork and chicken dinners were over the top too. The area is a little rough but the trip is worth it. This is my new go to spot whenever I am in the area. You definitely get your money's worth here. I guarantee you won't be sorry!“

“absolutely delicious food curtious staff all around great eats"!“

“Great food but terrible customer service I absolutely love your restaurant the food is amazing! But honestly, some of your staff could really use hospitality training. There’s no reason I should be leaving upset just because an employee didn’t want to serve me over something as small as extra gravy. Without customers, there wouldn’t even be a business, so the service needs to reflect that.“

“I can still and will always remember November 13th. This was one of the most important day of my life my wedding day. I went to the restaurant to speak with Mr. McKnight of this my special day about 2 weeks f before the due date, this is so because the first time I ate his meal I felt as I was floating on dry land the food was off the chain. From then I told him that whenever I am getting married he have to do the catering for me. He was excited and happy for me. All he said was write what I wanted on the menu and he would do the rest. Wow wow wow what can I say the food was one in a million. The guests enjoy ever bit of what was provided and wanted to know more about his business. Guess what I later found out that I even got dishes that was not on my menu. Mr. McKnight continue doing what you doing. All the best in you endeavors.“

“This is certainly one of the tastiest place in the region. Every time I come to this place I am profoundly satisfied. They preserve their very high level service and the topmost level of dishes they give. You definitely will enjoy this this place. Highly recommended.“
