My fiancée brought me to this restaurant on a whim, claiming it to be the best spot for authentic Jamaican cuisine, and I must say, it was absolutely delicious! Surprisingly, it reminded me a lot of my Cuban roots—who knew it had such Caribbean similarities? Nora, the hostess, welcomed us with such grace; she truly makes you feel like family as soon as you walk in. The vibrant artwork and colors transport you far awa... View all feedback.

I ordered the large curry chicken and an even larger jerk chicken. The chicken was quite tasty, but the rice and peas, as well as the cabbage, didn't meet my expectations. They were a little underseasoned and not fully cooked. However, the plantains were excellent, and I was pleased with the packaging. I will definitely try dining in next time.

The oxtails were incredible, and the sorrel was just right.

Without a doubt, this is the best food I have ever had. I ordered the large jerk chicken, mac and cheese, and beef patties. It's the first time I've ever called a restaurant just to tell them how fantastic their food was. Do yourself a favor and try something from this place. Thank you all; you've gained a lifelong fan! <3

The curry chicken was so delicious! The meat falls off the bone and was very tender. I'm usually not one for meat on the bone but this is the exception as it's so good. I got a large order of the curry chicken. It was enough for 2 big meals. It was just as good reheated the next day. The fried plantains were amazing. I definitely need to order an additional side order of the plantains next time. Perfectly fried. I've eaten in the restaurant many times before and this was just as delicious as eating there in person.
