Food so good I had to order more to go
Had oxtail roti, jerk chicken wings and rum cake and would have them all again𤤠what makes it even better is finding out as your leaving that itās also a family run business. Will definitely be back.

stop by this authentic Jamaican spot for the first time today. Before I walked in I was very sceptical due to the proximity of the location. But don't get it twisted. This is authentic Jamaican food with absolutely amazing service.!!! Yellow tape!!

This place is an absolute hidden gem of a restaurant. I keep coming back even though itās out of my way. Roti, jerk chicken, oxtail, Iāve had it all and itās amazing. The modern take is so good. Try the jerk pork roti for a real treat.
And the people who work here are so kind and welcoming they make you feel like family.
This is well worth the time to try

My husband and I went out for our anniversary last night. We have ordered from here a few times the past 3 months and we love it, our kids love it. It's the best jerk chicken I have tasted since being in Jamaica. My kids love the beef patties and I discovered the jerk chicken roti and have to say I don't know if I can ever stray from that dish now. This was the first time we have dined in and it was great atmosphere and just as incredible service at the table as it has been ordering and picking up.

Food was really good and the staff were nice. I went on a Friday and they had a great DJ. Only thing was the wait was kind of long but the food being hot, fresh and tasty made it worthwhile. Definitely check them out!

The food here is pretty good, but the service and atmosphere were a real letdown.
Food: The honey garlic wings were delicious, the fried chicken was crispy and tasty with the sweet chili sauce, and the oxtail was fine but ruined by too many bone fragments. Overall, the kitchen does a decent job.
Service: This is where things really fell apart. At 5 p.m., the DJ started blasting music so loud it gave me a headacheāit completely killed the dining experience. A part of other guests beside looked uncomfortable too. When I politely asked if they could turn it down, I actually got dirty looks from the staff. That was shocking.
Service was also slow despite the restaurant not being busy. When I asked for two takeout boxes and the bill, the server ignored half my request, dropped one box on the table with attitude, and walked off. Later, another server told me to stack the plates for her in a commanding tone. I donāt mind helping, but itās about choice and respectāāpleaseā would go a long way.
On top of that, the restaurant left the doors open, letting flies buzz around my table.
Bottom line: Fair price, tasty food, but terrible service and environment. I wouldnāt come back unless things improve.
