Food is salty and not flavored like good Jamaican food. It lacks the depth of complex flavors.

criminals .sad. yoyr victim deserve better
Ordered curry shrimp and oxtail platter and veggie patties. The food was flavorless. The curry was more like boiled water and with curry powder added. The rice and peas lacked Jamaican authenticity, there’s not a hint of coconut milk or Jamaican spice in it.Then I got home and discovered that what I thought was Jamaican veggie Patties is in fact Spanish empanadas stuffed with cabbage and carrots. I question if the restaurant is even owned by Jamaicans.

id rather go eat with homeless people
I ordered some oxtails from here and it seemed like they just started cooking them. They were so tough it was a waste of money they should have said they were not done instead of selling them.

The food here is terrible. Well the jerk chicken was good, that’s it. I also purchased Mac n cheese, yams, callalo , and cabbage. Horrible. Very bland and microwaved and I poked my head behind the counter for a peek at the kitchen and caught the light skinned woman ( the owners wife or girlfriend) using her bare hands with no gloves on putting some ones food together. I was very disappointed at this place after spending $40 here, each side was A la cart. None came with the meal, and it was $40 totally wasted. I won’t return. I

Customer Service over the phone was great, then when I went to pick up the food I was greeted by a beautiful smile, and amazing customer service skills, the lady that helped me was sooo friendly and helpful. The best service I’ve had in a long time. Food was amazing, so flavorful we got 3 different dinners and all of them were great so much food to eat for a great price. We will be back next time we come for vacation again.
