King Barka offers delicious homemade meals such as ox tail, jerk chicken, Mac and cheese, and curry chicken with rice and peas. The friendly staff and fast service help create good vibes, and the $6 lunch special with soda remains a great deal. Customers often find the jerk chicken super juicy and flavorful, making the wait in line worthwhile. However, some dishes like the rasta pasta can be overcooked and unpleasant, and the lack of mac and cheese on some visits is disappointing. Additionally, orders sometimes miss requested sides like cabbage. The restaurant accepts both cash and card, but some customers have noted that the curry chicken can be overly salty, possibly due to heavy seasoning. While food portions are generous, some find consistency in quality can vary, and online order cancellations if items are unavailable are not ideal. Overall, King Barka is appreciated for its hearty meals and lively atmosphere, despite occasional issues with food quality and side availability.
