The chef is excellent and so kind and professional!! Loved my food! Can’t beat the price either
I had this food off a food truck and it was sooo disgusting. The jerk chicken lacked jerk and seasoning, the rice and peas is nasty & I’m scared to taste the plantain. And they charged $35
Believe the other reviews— wish I would’ve read the reviews before I ordered.
Whoever the owner/cook is — please find somewhere else to put your energy. Stop playing with ppl food. Leave cooking to someone else 🤢
First, this business isn’t on 135th Street & Lenox Avenue. Second, this business is rarely in the neighborhood of Harlem. It is for this reason, I contend that this business is not community oriented at all!!!!!
Disgusting food!! Flavorless, small portions, jerk chicken was undercooked, and the curry chicken had tiny “chicken” legs as they claim but I had it tested, it was pigeon. No chicken has an inch inch and half of width and only 3inches long. liarsssss!!!! They cheat you out your money. Please don’t waste your money!! Someone else I know who told me after they saw me with the food told me they were sick for days because they had their “lunch special”, yea, uh-huh it’s “special” alright. These people need to be stopped and held accountable. Trust me they will be!! I bought mine a block away from 3959 Broadway by 168st, NY. They’re only there on Thursdays.
Charging close to 50 dollars for oxtail, rice & peas, cabbage and a drink just to find out the rice was undercooked is craaaaazy. Very very disappointed. Worst rice & peas I ever had.
Disappointing food truck. Waited 30 minutes to order. Food given to me with no utensils and missing plantains. Jerk chicken sauce was ok but it was just grilled chicken with sauce poured in top, poor flavor infusion into the meat. Would not eat this again

I ordered a jerk chicken meal with max & cheese, cabbage and plantain. I did not enjoy the jerk chicken nor did I enjoy the Mac & cheese. The jerk chicken was not what I am used to when ordering Jamaican food. There was no kick, nor spice. It was very bland. I am quite disappointed as I spent $50 on this meal. The mac & cheese was cheesy but bland. No seasoning whatsoever. Unfortunately, the best thing was the side of plantain I ordered. I'm upset that I spent this much on lunch. I ordered this on 39th street and Broadway.

First time try, @ Halloween night at the Bronx zoo.The rice was hard & flavorless.The brown stew chicken was extremely spicy.the shrimp was a fair 7/10.The man who was working the register was cool, until he didn’t know how to take a joke and got sensitive behind it. & decided too get serious. (have some more humor man, it will bring you a long way)! I was only joking with my joke?

Tasty but too pricey, small portions, inconsistent orders & missing ingredients. Staff isn’t friendly at all ?
Good j*** chicken and steamed vegetables! Friendly and speedy service!
i never leave terrible reviews but the oxtail dinner plate was absolutely HORRIBLE!i’ve never had such disgusting meat. so salty and filled with fat, as though they didn’t clean the meat. and even worse it tasted like they spilled beer on the meat…i went back and explained and the chef offered some spicy j*** chicken (i’ve never had j*** chicken smothered in hot sauce) i tried that then and there and that was even worse - bland and nasty texture. the rice and peas lack color - flavorless. and the cabbage tasted like nothing
Was in the city during lunch looking for somewhere to eat and came across this truck. I tried the lobster mac. It was delicious. The lobster was a fried lobster tail on a bed of macaroni pie. I enjoyed it. Pro tip add a bit of j*** sauce on it. Thank me later ☺️

I have ordered the entree of Simon and it was not fully cooked in the middle and I said to the waitress that it wasn't done and I didn't like it she asked me what was wrong and I told her and when she turned her back and she said Here We Go Again I guess she said I have to talk to the manager and when he came it was like he had an attitude also and I explained to him about the entree and he says well I'll take it back this time and the attitude was really stinky I was recommended to go to this restaurant for my birthday first time going and the service there was not what I expected I will not be going there again
