Our story

Jerk chicken was crazyyy good, so tender slid right of the bone, super friendly service! Will 100% be back!

thank God this restaurant is under a new owner/management. The food taste so much better than before and they're so friendly. This is the first Jamaican restaurant who's baked Mac and cheese taste really good, like it's amazing. I would definitely recommend the jerk chicken, rasta pasta, curry goat and oxtail, 10/10!

Food was BOMB. Prices were reasonable and I can't wait to come back. I got the Jerk chicken entree with rice and peas, jerk mac and cheese, and a beef patty. Everything was so good and the portions were healthy, I did not finish my plate and can't wait to finish it for dinner. The jerk chicken has a perfect spiciness to it. The best part was the wonderful lady making the plates and taking orders. It was busy but she handled the customers as well as courier drivers well. We didn't wait that…

Flavorful, affordable, and oh so delicious food. This place is very much no fuss - just soul nourishing food made with love. The workers here are also so kind and generous! BBQ Chicken - did not intend on getting this upon entry, but when I saw it through the window I simply couldn’t resist. It is so saucy and satisfying I knew it made the right choice. Curry chicken - very tasty and has all the right spices. The sauce goes very well with rice, and it honestly just comforts your insides.…
