I had the jerk chicken with rice and beans and candid yams. My boyfriend had stewed chicken with candid yams and tosados. Very good food. The waitress was very friendly and attentive. The cook also came out and greeted us. Comfortable atmosphere. I will be visiting again!

Horrible place horrible customer service the owner sold me a plate of sauce full of oil dripping on the bag I gave her 20$ with 5shrimps and 4plantains I hope this place shut down and they took forever to attend me and no one was there how you charge me 20$ for small shrimp and 4plaintains I went back there she starts arguing with me…DO NOT GO THERE GO SOMEWHERE ELSE OR COOK YOUR OWN FOOD

Standing in line, cashier let people sitting order before me, then walks away to have a conversation with someone that just walked in, completely ignoring me. Rude, unprofessional, if the food is anything like the service, then I believe that the quality is also trash.

This is my most favorite place I used to go to Lenny's bakery in Boston and this is the equivalent. The service the people are nice and they're not rude like other places I've been. If you want good stuff this is the place.

Warning, the prices on their website are not actually what they charge. Instead of one star, I rated them two stars because their oxtail portion is very generous. Overall though I do not recommend dining here, because in addition to not listing accurate prices on their website, another issue that I had was that I ordered an item on their menu and the woman said they ran out. I asked them if they could make more and she said no, even though they were still going to be open for another two hours.

This was positively the nasties “Jamaican” good I’ve ever had. The curry chicken was some poorly cleaned salty piece of chicken thigh that barely tasted like curry. The cabbage was the most disgusting oily cabbage I’ve ever had & it was in this red sauce that tasted tomato based or something & let me reiterate - OILY. Never seen it made this way & absolutely disgusting. The rice and peas was okay. $23 for this mess is insane!!! Go spend your money elsewhere.

Today At 2:44pm. I was referred to this restaurant. However I called to place an order within half way through the order. The rudest woman,Just said come in and order and hung up.Why would I even come there now.Alot of these companies know they have rude staff. Keep them away from the general public why have them interacting with customers.I didn't even get to sample the food but with customer service like that.This has to be a1 star.

This place is horrible. No flavor, over priced and unfriendly staff. If you want Jamaican food go to Flames, their food is hot, fresh and better priced.
