This was the worst food I've had in a very long time. I got the Oxtail dinner with cabbage and macaroni pie. I had 2 extremely small Oxtail with no meat at ALL. AND 3 of the toughest Oxtail with barely any meat. It was atrocious. The cabbage was fine but the macaroni pie was also very disgusting. I also got a side off jerk wings that were very tough and dry. The jerk sauce had a weird taste. I spent 31 dollars on food that was barely edible.

Normally is full of flavor but it seem to be getting worse. Lost half the flavor and half the ingredients. My rice and peas have no peas. My garbanzo and potatoes, just potatoes. I never get my plantains anymore or anything to substitute.

I got the curry goat with a side of white rice and “macaroni pie”. When I got the ladder I assumed it would be like thick baked Mac & cheese but what I got was some whack Mac. It was definitely not baked. I am a bit of an elitist when it comes to Mac & Cheese I really only like the baked homemade style. The curry goat and rice was good though so not bad just a bit of false advertisement.

OMG I never write reviews but this must be stopped. wasted 20 dollars on this food. No flavor at all, The oxtails were overcooked, dry and nasty, mushy rice, nothing like real rice and peas. It seem to be box rice. Taste nothing like Caribbean food I can’t believe they are charging those prices for such low quality . Worst food I had in a while. Never again will is step foot in that place…horrible food!!!! I could of cooked better in my kitchen. Go somewhere else!!!

I want to love this place so much, but they got too many problems with fulfilling orders. Every 4 out of 5 orders I place get cancelled after 25min of thinking it's on its way. I love this place because they make roti wraps like my people in Nyc, but never being able to order because they always cancel 4 out of 5 orders for 4yrs since I moved here sucks.

I just got takeaway but the room is really inviting, the music is good, and all the staff were super nice. It was a nice spot to have a glass of wine while I waited for my order. The food is absolutely delicious, tons of flavor and the chef's homemade hot sauce made everything perfect.
