Friendly family vibes at this Jamaican counter-serve eatery within steps of Poughkeepsie train station.
Order a small, medium or large platter with choice of main and select sides. Goat Curry, with rice and beans, mac n’ cheese and cabbage — solid though served a bit more room temperature than desired. Other mains include fried and jerk chicken, oxtails.
Selection of Jamaican beef patties ready for grab-n-go.

The meals are not only full of sustenance, but also it leaves a coat of Caribbean flavor along your taste buds. Every customer that leaves will leave a little heavier, due to their great portions. Their oxtail and rice are always cooked to perfection, and everything is given that small homemade touch that makes you feel like you are at a small piece of Jamaica, right in our neighborhood.

Terribly disappointed. My expectations were really high, being a native of Jamaica and knowing a lot of Jamaicans live in New York. I tried the jerk chicken, jerk pork and curry goat. The chicken and pork was super dry; either overdone or maybe they were leftovers from lunch hour. The goat was average; missing the thick, rich flavor and texture you get from a good curry goat plate. I was told by family who live in New York that they have eaten here before and that it just wasn’t as good this time around. So maybe it was just an off day for the restaurant.

They really spend time and effort preparing their dishes. Very tastee.My only stipulation is just fall back on the hot pepper 🌶 a bit overboard with the spice. It's a B for effort 👌

I love this place!!! I swear I tried every Jamaican restaurant in Poughkeepsie and surrounding areas, and this one is by far the best! They season their food really well, and it always taste so fresh! I literally will not order curry, chicken, plantain, or cornbread from anywhere else. The people are super nice and welcoming, and the service is amazing!
Food is horrible. I dont get the reviews. Fried Chicken has no flavor was undercooked. Rice was bland. This is not Jamaican food or even just good food. Waste of $15 dollar. Had to throw the whole plate of food in the garbage. Have tried them twice now. Other time was the oxtail that taste like it look. BLAND. Big mistake both time. Waste of time and money. They taste worse then hospital food. These positive reviews must be fake because how?

Wish they had a veg option like curry tofu or something else. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Their juices are very popular, sold out on all of them when I popped in.
This is my go-to for lunch. My first option. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. They have all of your traditional Jamaican dishes, and all of them are very tasty. I'm biased because I love their fried ckicken! It has just the right amount of spice and a little kick of pepper. Mama Sylvia and her daughter and staff are very friendly. You can eat in or grab a to go order. Either way, you'll be satisfied 😌 💯 👌 😉

This is THE BEST Jamaican food I have ever had in my life. The owners of this quaint, friendly restaurant are maybe the most hard working people I’ve ever met and all they want is to fill your belly with delicious, comforting, homemade food. I recommend this to everyone I know, I have driven over 3 hours just to eat this food!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!

Love the jerk chicken! Nice tasty rice and beans, sweet maduros. Nice staff and conveniently on main Street near the train. I love that you can get the meal in different sizes.

I was passing through and decided to give it a try. I must say the food was delicious. I got the stew chicken and my husband had oxtails, lots of flavor and the woman at the front counter was very pleasant.
