I’ve been coming here for years and realized I’ve never left a review so…I’ve always loved the atmosphere here, with its authentic Caribbean feel. Their pina coladas are to die for, the chicken rotis are super yummy and the servers friendly. And on tonight when we were here, the owner, a really lovely guy, took the time to come and introduce himself to us. Definitely recommend.
Food here is good, servers are super friendly and everything about this place is nice. But food takes a while to come out, around 30 mins or more and chicken is a little dry. So if you're planning on coming here on an empty stomach and are super hungry and can't wait don't come here, but other than that it's good.
me and Aubrey love the jerk chicke here
