I should have known when I walked in the food wouldn’t be good when I only saw one table occupied. I saw a few photos of other food but wanted to get the jerk wings. I’ve NEVER had jerk wings that were fried with a bbq sauce which was not listed on the menu. Jerk chicken is marinated then baked or grilled. IVE NEVER thought to ask how is it cooked because it’s traditionally cooked only one way. I was extremely disappointed that I spent $22 on these “wings” undercooked cabbage and rice and peas without peas. I had higher hopes hopefully I can find better Caribbean food next time I’m visiting.

We came in on a day when the city was shut down for ice. We had the place to our ourselves and the food was really excellent!

They are rather expensive considering what I’m about to say especially. I have ordered from this place in person and delivery, both, multiple times. Every single time I’ve ordered plantains or coconut fried shrimp, it has come out burnt. Even when I have an ordered from this place in person, specifically mentioning this to the cashier while ordering and specifically asking her to make sure they came out normal and not burnt. I paid for parking and dealt with the parking issues just to order this in person, hoping it will come out differently. Every single time I’ve ordered plantains or coconut fried shrimp, it has come out burnt delivery or not. Even when I went in person and asked them to make sure it wasn’t burnt, it was burnt. This explains why there are “no refund policy signs” inside the store. It seems like multiple people ask for a refund because of how they cook their food. Which is really sad because other than their oil being too hot or too old or whatever it is making the fried food burnt; the food is generally pretty good. The Joloff Rice was excellent. However, I do not recommend anything fried from here. No matter how you order it, or when you order it, no matter if you ask them to pay attention and not burn it; no matter what time of day despite what their excuse was to me, nor what time of week— it comes out burnt. When I mentioned this in person ordering it with the cashier in person, she blamed it on the fact that when I ordered it, it was probably (which she had no clue when I actually ordered the 3 times before) during a busy weekend and that was the reason it was burnt. So I let it slide (stupidly). She also looked at me weird when I asked, “what does “”trap”” mean”? She said, well… what questions do you have…?? Snarly.. (Her not knowing I knew the menu decently enough that I was back for the 4th time giving this a chance in person vs. delivery). She did not want to take the time to explain to me what this meant, even though I was the only customer in the store for the entire time I ordered and waited for my orders to be complete. However, I still mentioned to her “please make sure it’s not burnt since I’ve ordered three before and it has come home burnt despite what time of day or week it was”. I was the only person in there the entire time I was ordering and it still was burnt as I opened it at home…. Now, for the 4th time… She didn’t make sure it wasn’t burnt despite my request. They don’t really care if it comes to burn or not sadly. They really don’t care how the food comes out. Emperor how expensive this is I would expect much better. Much more quality. Much more care in the preparation and delivery of the specific African cuisine. This is not your normal burger and fries place. This is a specialty cuisine. It’s very unfortunate. I was hella pissed and sad all at the same time. I am not African, however I love African food and African flavors. And this is the one place I thought I could turn to for such in which I was extremely disappointed to say the least. More than once. In more than one way……..

The food was horrible, jerk chicken was bbq chicken half done. The mac n cheese was big noodles drowned in milk cabbage, yuck.
Visiting Austin for the weekend and walked past on my way to CVS. Lovely atmosphere with music playing and food smelled delicious so I made a pit stop. Terica and the other servers were all friendly and answered all my questions . Ended up getting two beef phatty’s and wished I didn’t already have lunch. Will have to stop by again before leaving.
