A hidden gem we never knew existed! If you're craving Carribean food, this place says it all! First time ordering here after searching for a nearby place that sells oxtail and curry goat. The portion is very generous and the oxtail falls off the bone and is marinated very well. The coleslaw adds some freshness and is a nice side dish to have to cut down the rich flavour. The server was really nice and served us with a smiling face. He is very confident that their dishes are really good and that we'll love it. A Goldstar indeed! A must visit whenever in this area.

I promised the person that served me to let him know of my thoughts after I ate his food. I decided to leave a google review first and then tell him my thoughts in person. There are many signs where someone can tell the restaurant is really good and these signs rightly can make people excited. The first thing I can clearly see when I entered the restaurant was how the customers were telling me how good the food is here. The 2nd thing that I noticed was when the server gave me the food with a big smile and huge confidence. Lastly, the smell, the smell of the food was so good, I couldn't wait to try it. We got the island sodas along with the a large oxtail meal for myself and a medium curry goat for my girlfriend because of the google reviews, and the reviewers were not lying. The meat is so tender you don't need a knife, the meat falls off the bone. I tried many Jamaican Oxtails and I was never satisfied because of how hard it was to get the meat off the bone, but the oxtail was so tender that I didn't have to put any force on my plastic fork and the meat just fell off. The tenderness is one thing but there's so much flavor in the oxtail that you can keep licking the bone for ten times and you will still taste the flavor. The flavor sunk deep within the bones of both the oxtail and the curry goat. For me, the meat was very delicious but a great Carribbean restaurant must nail the rice and peas, you got to have that nice soft texture of the rice and the peas or beans needs to be soft as well and the taste should bring a good sweetness without mixing the rice with any gravy, and this restaurant checked all of the boxes. It's not easy to make a good rice and making good rice is something that many restaruants can over look and not pay attention, but this restaurant clearly didn't over look and paid attention to make a good quality rice and peas. The cole slaw was so creamy and the salad with a combination of lettuce and cucumber was so refreshing that these vegetables truly brought balance to the meal and it was absolutely amazing. This restaurant was the first time in my life where even the bone had rich flavor and made me enjoy having bones since the oxtail had good collagen and some bits of tendons in it. My girlfriend loved the curry goat and enjoyed both the salad, coleslaw and the rice and peas too.

People don't underestimate some small restaurants that is hard to find, and please come to this restaurant, you will know why it's rated 4.8 out of 5, I think it should be 5 out of 5 but that's just me! I can't wait to go back to the restaurant and try other items!

The jerk chicken was Amazing. So flavourful and moist plus a pretty big portion for only $11. The guy working at the front was also super nice and helpful with my allergy requests. definitely going back

Ordered jerk chicken for delivery once--the white meat was very dry. Tried again and it was better the second time around. Very flavourful overall. Excellent coleslaw.

Prices are on the high side for what you're getting.

Initially gave a 2-star rating since the store was closed during posted hours. Thank you for the response/explanation, Goldstar. I've since revised the rating up to 4-star to reflect delicious tasting food. :)
