My Boyfriend and I ordered from here today. We ordered the large Oxtails, Rice n Peas plate.. that comes with 1 side we chose mac n cheese. This plate will run you about $25 but when you consider the portion size...you definitely get a bang for your buck! 2 or 3 ppl could eat from that one plate. We also wanted to try the spinach so I ordered a separate small side which was $13 I thought that was a bit steep but it seemed like a popular item with the regulars and I love spinach so I paid for it anyway. Now for taste...The oxtails were v tender with a rich brown color and they were tasty...rice and Peas was flavorful as well as the mac n cheese both were prepared well and was not salty. The spinach side was v good and was loaded with turkey meat I dont regret the $13 I paid for it. We got a side of Hot pepper.. I would suggest getting as well..it had great flavor and good heat that to me tied everything together. The staff was also welcoming and polite and the food tasted like home..I would order from here again and would also recommend to others.

The Food in Staten Island. I travel from Harlem just to go and pick up some food and I definitely buy enough to last me a few days.

Fantastic!!!! Everything was so so delicious! I got there about an hour before closing and she was sold out of most food but even what was left so good. She made fresh plantains and Mac n cheese while I waited a few minutes. I bought a large oxtail, rice and peas, plantains and extra side of Mac n cheese for 2 and almost ate All. And had leftovers I'll be back soon, maybe tomorrow lol, she can have my money... But the decor and atmosphere is nice as well Homegirl's hands are Truly blessed! And the staff is kind and sweet. Also get there early.. Seriously get there when she opens or you will cry.. ♥️😋😋😋

Food definitely good but customer is terrible. Gives barely any Mac, & then when asked for a side of it was told “NO”.

Always clean she’s always very pleasant as well as her helpers. The price is just right the food is fantastic …I’ll spend a $55 cab ride just to get my food from her Establishment continued success. Mona continued success.

Cozy Afrikan/ Caribbean food spot with steam tables and varying daily menus. Good homestyle fare that were used to back home. A daily staple for overnight shifts.

ox tail not for us, but liked the experience, Rice is jamaican.
I'm not a fan of this place. It gives Jamaican more than African. Very heavy handed on the rice and peas almost a pound of rice. I watched her shovel about 4-5 scoops of rice into each plate. Ultimately you will throw out more than half in a large plate. I didn't want rice and the owner told me I have to. She didn't offer getting less than the 4-5 scoops of rice she gives which isn't customer service at all so I just left the place. I won't spend my money on just rice, a little bit of oxtails and mac and cheese. I would rather travel to brooklyn where they cater to the customer. That's how you keep money rolling in.
