That one of my favorite restaurants always have good Jamaican food ❤️❤️
They cut up the chicken way too small causing you to have to deal with a bunch of bone fragments cutting the inside of your mouth. The service is lacking as well, they pay no attention to you while serving and you have to yell your head off in order to be heard. When you go to pay for your meal you are greeted with such nasty attitude making you feel as though you are an inconvenience. The atmosphere is also dark and dingy can’t really see what’s going on since everything is draped in black sheets and minimal lighting.

My boyfriend just drove there from white Plains, to be greeted with a turnt up face. He says the girl had a nasty attitude, way before he can say what he would like. He mentioned her tone of voice , sounded as if she was irritated, and she had an unpleasant expression the whole time. She made an xtra plate that he didnt ask for and was nasty about it when he said he didnt ask for a third meal.I wasnt gonna write this, but listen! I did willingly on my behalf because my bf is never the rude, disrespectful type, way too humble to be treated like this from a worker of a place of business! Its all about customer service. Team meeting is important, work on attitudes while serving your customers!

I go in an d order small chicken soup for $5.44. I pay cash $20, the cashier asks if I have .44 cents I say no, but I have a quarter or can pay with my card. She takes the $20.25 and gives me $14.00 change. Huh?! This is third time when paying with cash, they give the wrong amount back. I went back and got my correct change but her reasoning was typical. The quarter confused her. Good veggies and selection but it's best to pay with a card. There's always issue with the cash procedures. I'll be back in 2024 to see if they've improved.
I ordered 2 orders of jerk chicken rice and peas and the sorrel juice even though I came for stew fish rice and peas. Food is good no complaints about that still no excuse for the level of rudeness the service sucks too much attitude from females who really should just be mad at themselves. It’s not my fault they decided to show up at work looking like raga muffins. I called to order ahead the seafood and was told they don’t take orders ahead of time now when I stepped into the establishment they have posted clearly to call for seafood ahead of time. I won’t be going back myself I’ll have others pick my food up or use DoorDash cause them females is nasty. The juice mixes well with henny! Ok this is an update I ordered my food about an hour ago it doesn’t taste good at all. I had them cut my chickens up and all I got was bones and they had the nerve to only give me a small spoonful of vegetables and the rice was hard. It’s not real jerk sauce, don’t go here Mt Vernon has other places to eat that respect your money I got a plate full of rice and everything two small jerk rice and peas order and two of the sorrel drinks cost $34 no wonder the windows is blacked out. Go around the corner to the left or the right better restaurants can be found. They charges so high cause the rent high but the food is low low quality. Please remember to tip if you enjoyed the service and food even if it’s just change because it eventually adds up this encourages the staff to continue giving customers good service. It’s not easy to easy to serve the public’s. Show appreciation.

My Jamaican friend was raving about their fried chicken so I went to try. My first experience was not delightful since I was given an old chicken. I asked for gravy of curry goat which I liked the most. My next visit I ordered medium size curry goat and it tasted way better than golden krust cause that’s the only place I know where to buy Jamaican food from lol. Anyways I was told not to go to Mt.Vernon at night cause it’s dangerous I ignored that warning. I had to buy a curry goat so I did. Funny thing there was a line of people and I witnessed some unexpected interaction with customer and server. I was warned about the people. No complaints about that except for when the server is rushing to get me out I wasn’t done ordering.Since I’m the only non black buying food there the person in front of me let me order first. Every single person ahead of me is ordering curry goat. That was my main purpose of going there to get platter of curry goat and it didn’t disappoint. The taste was on point fair price and I ordered extra chicken wing and a thigh. She gave me more than I asked for which I appreciate. Will definitely come back again to try the oxtail but during daylight. ? ??

Decent food, however the prices are ridiculous. A restaurant without a menu makes no sense, all you see are what they charge extra for. Only a Jamaican restaurant would charge extra for gravy and LETTUCE.

The meat tasted stale the rice was clumpy. People ahead of me with darker complexion we’re getting fair amount of both rice and meats. When it came time to serve me, every time I asked for something, all the staff in the back laughed (rude). I don’t have an accent and I speak in complete sentences (that should have been my cue to walk out) but Ididn’t listen to my instinct. I ordered chicken soup, but what I received was more of a potato soup. I ordered akee and salted fish (the lady who continuously mocked me gave me 3/4 of a spoon of the akee and salted fish and filled my plate 95% of rice). The same happened with the rest of my orders. The rice was crunchy. Conclusion, if you want to be discriminated and over pay for mostly rice and potatoes, then this is the perfect place for you. Otherwise, there are other Caribbean restaurants in Mount Vernon and Bronx where prices are reasonable and you will be treated humanely. PS. They charge extra if you want oxtail sauce in your rice or food. I wish there was a -10 star option.
Food is great, some service people have attitudes but I've seen the customers and they need to do better stop hassling the
