Went today for lunch, our server was so sweet and attentive! The food was 10/10. We ordered jerk chicken, curry chicken and the market bowl (vegan/gluten free) all were amazing! So fresh and flavourful! Will return!

Food was good but could be better for the price. For example the steam vegetables they serve, are frozen store bought. Food is flavorful but on par with a Jamaican takeout. We ordered the curry chicken and jerk chicken entrees.

This is, by far, one of the most wonderful and tasty restaurants in Durham. Like you have to check them out, because not doing that, is doing a disservice to yourself!

Great atmosphere and it was good going back, the food is always good, great portion sizes, I ordered the Goat Roti and the meat to roti ratio was amazing, it was definitely worth the price, Kristy even gave us a free appetizer due to the wait times.We will definitely be going back!

The service and atmosphere is very classy !

I recently had the chance to dine at this amazing Jamaican restaurant, and it was an absolute delight from start to finish. The music was on point, with a perfect blend of classic Jamaican vibes that set the tone for a fantastic evening. The ambiance was really nice, with good vibes all around, and I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained the place was.
The decorations were also really cool and interesting, totally on theme with the Jamaican vibe - it felt like a little slice of Jamaica right here. Our waitress was super cute and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal.
But the real star of the show was the food. The menu took traditional Jamaican flavors and gave them a contemporary twist, with some really interesting plays on regular appetizers. The plantain bruschetta was a standout - imagine bruschetta mix on top of crispy fried plantains, and you'll get an idea of just how delicious it was.
We also tried the Jerk Taco trio, which was a fun take on traditional jerk flavors in taco form, and the saltfish fritters, which were cooked to perfection. Every bite was full of flavor, and it was clear that the chefs had put a lot of thought into each dish.
To wash it all down, the cocktails were creative and fun, adding to the overall great experience. If you're looking for a Jamaican restaurant that brings something new to the table while still honoring traditional flavors, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try.

This was a one off for me. I've been searching for the best Jamaican food I can find and recently tried a place down the road from here and was not impressed. Walked up a bit and found this gem. Staff are spot on, the atmosphere was amazing. Music took me back to my childhood and the pattie on coco bread I as so amazing. I love an hour and a half away and will be back regularly for food. Will be trying the rest of the menu for date night coming up soon. Absolutely fantastic spot. Thank you for bringing me back with good music and fantastic food and service.
