If you are looking for great Jamaican cuisine. Here is the spot: right on 5th street a busy location. My favorite can’t go wrong is Oxtail, Pig feet, Fried fish and their Fried Chicken. After a long day at work from the hospital this is my must go spot for great comfort food to smooth my soul. The Oxtail is ultimately my favorite I will drive far just for it. Plus perfect for left overs to bring to work. Adds flavor the next day:)
If you want a quick fix their Jamaican patties are great. Easy to hand on hand while walking and driving.
I saw they have soup specials. What even more cute is the have daily specials. I always try to make it on Thursday for the cow foot.

I'm so disappointed in the food I had to write a review as soon as I finished eating. Their oxtails overpriced to only get 6 pieces of oxtails full of fat & bones. The oxtails barely had meat on them, the rice was hard & the platter itself wasn’t hot. Food didn’t taste fresh. $21 dollars wasted never again.

I came to Philly to visit my Fiancee and decided to grab food from this spot. I called them and asked if they had oxtails. I didn’t see it on the DoorDash for pickup. They sold out. Ok fine so i placed an order for Pepper Steak. The lady called me within a few minutes and said that they are out, I said ok I’ll take Jerk Chicken. I arrive 30 minutes later by Uber. Driver outside waiting. The lady tells me there is no Jerk chicken and that another woman saw I had ordered Pepper steak and took it upon herself to cancel the order because she didn’t communicate with the other woman that I would take a replacement. Wasn’t very nice about the inconvenience they caused me. And just had an “Oh Well” attitude. So I paid extra money for my Uber to wait and to have a stop added for nothing.

So good, the stew chicken falls off the bone & the portions are generous for the price!
