I was not pleased with food at all. I ordered a plate of Oxtails, it was 2 whole pieces of oxtail and the rest were bits and pieces. The 2 pieces I got were fatty.. plantains, and rice tasted old. The food didn't look appealing at all. That's the first turn off right there.I also ordered a jerk chicken..Fail! I don't know why they named the restaurant jerk and it tasted like teriyaki. I guess we do things different in New York.Hire new cooks and get some authentic Caribbeans in here. A waste of 50 dollars. I don't how they have 4.6 stars . Must be family!

Food was once good before now it's bad the spicy patty wasn't anything at all filled with ground beef it was mainly fried dough and the jerk with rice and 2 sides was horrible so cold you can tell it was rewarmed and the jerk chicken honestly was 50% none 50% chicken that was pitiful I understand chicken has bones but to have that much, the Mac was cold, the collareens were cold and so was the rice. ?? I will never go back again

First time in for lunch today - had curry chicken and collard greens and a mild beef patty. Tremendous flavor - welcoming atmosphere. Loved the food and will be back to try the jerk chicken!

This place sucks. Its never open. They close whenever they feel like. One time the guy inside, looked me in my eyes and closed the shop early. Don't even waste your time coming here.

This did not taste like authentic Jamaican food. The rice and peas tasted as if they were catered to bland American taste buds. The oxtail had no gravy/browning at all. Waste of $52 for two plates.

Had to double back for a review since the quality of the food has fell off considerably over the years to the point I took this restaurant out of my families dining out rotation.

So delicious! I had j*** chicken & my husband had the ox tails. We both loved what we got. Cabbage, yams, rice & beans were all amazing also. Service was so friendly & the gentleman was happy to offer suggestions.Vegetarian options: They have a 4 sides dinner option. Rice & beans, cabbage (not made with meat in it), collards (not made with meat in it), Mac & cheese, yams, & plantains are all options.

Ordered the curry chicken dinner with a choice of 2 sides. Obviously I had to go with the Mac and cheese and collard greens. I also ordered a side of plantains. The portion size/flavor WOW!! I will have leftovers for at least two more meals. The chicken was extremely moist and falling off the bone. The perfect comfort meal in all ways. I ordered this via DoorDash and my food was delivered hot - always a plus.
