Excellent jerk chicken. I rarely eat out, but I've been here several times over the years and it's always been well cooked and nicely spiced. No tax if you bring cash.

We tried their curried chicken roti as well as the jerk chicken rice plate! Very tasty!! The boss is also very kind, gave us the oxtail for free:)) nice spot to visit for a warm lunch!

We went because it was nearby and had such great reviews, but it was a huge disappointment. We ordered the oxtail stew (large) and the macaroni pie with jerk chicken. The portions were extremely small — the “large” oxtail came with only a few pieces. The jerk chicken was very dry, especially the leg, which was surprising since it’s usually the juiciest part. For the amount and quality of food, the prices felt way too expensive. Definitely not worth the hype.
We’ve eaten at many Jamaican and Caribbean restaurants before, and this was the first time we had an experience this disappointing.

We've been coming to Aneal's since we moved into the neighborhood in 2021. The owner is super friendly and the food is fantastic! Prices stayed the same throughout the times we've visited.

If you are going to get the jerk chicken, you may want to try mild first before going up a level. We almost got medium our first time until he suggested to go mild first..and boy he was right!

Today we tried their mac and cheese pie and it has definitely became another one of my favorites.

We've been coming to Aneal's for over a year now and it never disappoints. The food is always excellent and full of flavor! My favorite is the goat roti, I'd highly recommend it.

I should’ve listened to the owner when I decide to take the food home. The food is better when it’s hot!

Fried catfish is a weekend special and are prepared as you order (about 15 mins wait)
Stewed Oxtail is right on point. Classic Caribbean Flavour.

The owner even let us tried a little bit of another weekend dish Stewed Boar. It melted in my mouth.

Parking is right beside the restaurant.

Will 100% comeback in the future!

Went for dinner with my partner this evening and could smell the spices while outside the restaurant! Aneal was very welcoming and the flavour of the curried goat roti was pretty good, but for $20, the ratio of meat to potato and roti was disappointing. I also found some silver foil in my food. I’d like to go back and try the wild boar, but am a little unsure.

Amazing Caribbean food! I got the ox tail and jerk chicken, both are excellent options. If you cant handle spicy (its hot) make sure you get the medium.

Best tasting curry chicken I've had in a vwry long time. Well seasoned cute spot to dine - in.
