I had such a great experience here. The staff was so friendly. The food was absolutely AMAZING! I tried the Coconut Curry Jack Fruit meal and it was so flavorful. I definitely will go back. Beautiful place, food, and people. 🙏

The last Jamaican spot I went to in Milwaukee didn’t have anything I actually wanted… but this place? Oh, they had EVERYTHING. So naturally, I ordered… well, everything. And let me tell you—it was all chef’s kiss.

The owner herself came out to serve us, and she was amazing—super nice, welcoming, and proud of her food (and she should be!). You could taste that love in every bite. The oxtails? Melt-in-your-mouth good. The jerk chicken? Smoked perfection. And the rice & peas? I drowned them in gravy like a true Jamaican uncle would say, “Dat’s how yuh eat it,” and it was absolutely delicious.

Hands down the best Jamaican food in Milwaukee. I’m already planning my return trip in a few days… because once isn’t enough.

I have been here several times and the food and level of service never changes or disappoints. I have practically tried everything on the menu except the vegan menu. My favorites are the jerk chicken and curry goat combination or curry goat and oxtail combination and the fried red snapper.

Do not come here !!! The rice was watery and the oxtails had no taste.. when I proceed to ask for a refund the manager was very rude and disrespectful she had an attitude as soon as I walked in the place.

My husband and I Dined in . The service was great! Atmosphere was pleasant and clean .
I ordered the Curry Chicken . I was not happy with the selection of meat I received it was a plenty bones basically . Hardly no meat . My entree came with cabbage , rice , beans and plantains . The sides were tasty , My husband selected the Jerk Chicken . He had actual decent pieces of chicken . He was satisfied with his meal . If we return , I will not order the Chicken Curry entree .
I give them 3 stars due being dissatisfied with the selection of meat served.
Thanks ‘

I eat Jamaican food anywhere I can when I travel for work. This place is legit and top 2 all time for me. I had the oxtail and goat. The only way I can think to describe this is gourmet Jamaican food. It is flavorful without being too heavy. Highly recommend. I’ll be back soon to try other menu items, but that oxtail stole my ❤️
