I bought food since night from this restaurant , 2 jerk chicken, curry chicken with roti for $62 which I think is very expensive. All off the roti were spoiled and none of the chicken were cooked properly. We went back in the store to explain what happen the gentleman didn’t even offer any money back he’s asking if I want salad so ridiculous never again will I ever go back to this restaurant. It’s my first time going and such horrible experience. You guys need to be careful what your giving ppl to eat that could have easily got me or my kids sick I end up throwing everything in the garbage what a waste of $62.

This guy is tortoise slow and the service is just as bad (like he doing you a favour). The food is sub-standard Caribbean food. Was not impressed in the least.

Working on the road today. Stopped in to get jerk chicken, no sides. Man prepares a solid bird! I'll be back when I'm in the area

I would not recommend this place for the simple reason we were overcharged. We ordered 3 items in person but only got two. We called and no one picked up, then drove back to get the third item. The owner claimed we only ordered two. For the two items we paid $40. We were overcharged by about $6 and the owner did not admit this and said it’s high taxes.- JERK CHICKEN WRAP ONLY ~ $15.00- CHICKEN or VEGETARIAN ~ $15.00ROTI ONLYSubtotal: $30.00Tax: $3.90 (13%)Total: $33.90 not $40. Prices are listed on the website. Even at $16 each it still doesn’t add up..Please be careful

My friends and I ordered for Jerk chicken Roti and Curry chicken Roti to check try both. I loved it, when we got there my friends were skeptical because of the size of the restaurant and I told them places like this make the best meal. They sure delivered.

Great, real food and prices. Tried for the first time tonight, but we'll be back. Had his homemade hot sauce with the shrimp roti and it was flavourful. My wife had the curried chicken and enjoyed it as well. Generous portions as we both have lunch for tomorrow. Very friendly owner.

Our first time eating here and the food was outstanding! Ordered the chicken curry and shrimp roti. Started off with a beautiful salad containing fresh herbs. The main course consisted of huge portions, and the flavours were on point. Perfect amount of spiciness for me (I like heat but not so much I can't breathe lol), and my husband was given homemade hot sauce, which he really enjoyed. We're hoping the goat will be available next time as we'll definitely be back. The owner is an amazingly creative and kind gentleman. We also like supporting local and independent owners rather than chains (and the food always tastes better)! Don't be put off by the small, simple environment. The food more than makes up for it. Actually, the restaurant had a homey feeling. If you have a chance to visit, do so. You won't be disappointed.

Amazing spot! Authentic. The owner works VERY hard and is such a kind soul. I’ve never seen anyone else working besides him. Go support. You will enjoy the food. I love the fact that everything is made fresh. You may go in and want a specific dish and maybe they won’t have that type of food that day, and you might be let down. But don’t get it twisted because that just means you’re not getting old, sitting out food. He prepares everything fresh. There will always be another option for you if that is the case. Call ahead to check what he has that day. The portions are great sizes. It’s apparent that he puts great care into his food.The first time I went there, I was pretty confused about the pizza part. But when I saw the menu, it made total sense. This guy is a genius at making pizza ingredient combinations. Unfortunately, I cannot have them because I can’t eat gluten due to having celiac disease. But I can only imagine how good they must be. The drink selection is also A1.I’ll always support this spot as long as it’s around. Thank you Edwin! You don’t go unappreciated ?

I am Jamaican. Let me tell you, this is one of the best spots in the area! Jerk chicken can be spicy, just a heads up. The coleslaw is good; however, too much vinegar. I would have given 4.5 because of that. The rice and peas are great as well! I will be back.

The first time I tried this restaurant was maybe 6 months ago and I thought it tasted good but the chicken was kind of dry. Boy did they improve! We got two orders of the jerk chicken with rice and peas and slaw and it was really delicious! 3 pieces of Chicken were juicy with great flavor and good amount of spiciness. They give extra sauce on the side too. This is a hole in the wall kind of place and it feels like your neighborhood grandma and grandpa family style restaurant. I highly recommend you trying this place. It takes 15 minutes for take out so call ahead. They have only a few tables if you want to eat in.
