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....

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.
