My friends and I came here on Valentine's Day eve. This is not a romantic spot, nor does it try to…read morebe. However, upon entering, it was obvious that this is a spot frequented by the local African population and the food really delivered. We went with the jollof rice with jerk chicken, the Thiebou Djeun, and the Thiebou Guinar. All three were great, with my favorite being the jollof rice + jerk chicken combo being my favorite (although the guinar was a close second). The food was packed with so much flavor and just delicious!

We stopped in for lunch last week and we both ordered the Fried Red Snapper. It's served over rice…read morewith salad, veggies, and plantains. We waited 35 minutes for the absolute worst fish we've ever been served. It had be fried until it was so overcooked that it was impossible to eat the piece I had. The rice and veggies tasted good. The plantains were so dry we couldn't swallow them. My husband had the bigger piece of the fish (the head) so he was able to eat a bit of the fish. Unfortunately for him - he felt ill for a day or two from it. I warmed up my rice for dinner that night. And an hour later I was in the bathroom with horrible stomach distress. I then started sweating and then vomiting uncontrollably until I had purged all of that food. I felt better within an hour of getting sick. I definitely won't be trying this place again.

We were greeted and seated immediately. Our server, who I think was the owner, was delighted to…read morefind out that this visit was our first one to the restaurant. He brought us a menu and excitedly described the lunch options. Once we made our decisions, he brought us hot Chai tea to sip while we waited for our food. My sister ordered the lamb shank while I ordered the chicken stew. Both dishes came with basmati rice (that was brown with spices and flavor) and a salad. We thoroughly enjoyed the scrumptious food. The meat fell off the bone of her lamb shank and my chicken stew was beyond delectable. At the time of this review (March 2025), the restaurant had only been in operation for about 4-5 months. So, the minimal decorations and decor are probably because the restaurant is so new. I'm sure the owners will make the place look a little nicer once they are able sustain and stay in business. Because the food was so tasty, I didn't remove one star for lack of good decor. We enjoyed our meals so much that we plan to return when we are in the area.

Food- HUGE portions. The menu is simple and not complicated. I got the lamb with rice and it comes…read morewith a side salad. The meat was tender and well seasoned. The rice was sublime. It was seasoned with spices so it was fragrant and flavorful. Service- They were quick and friendly. No frills. Locale- This place is a no frills hole in the wall. It looks thrown together and empty. Don't expect lavish decoration or upscale furniture. However, what you can expect is a place that is loved by the community and they have a closed off section for prayer (for my Muslim friends) they are kind and welcoming. I would 100% come visit again. Price- it's a little pricey but on average with the local market and $18 for the amount of food I got is good.

Called in tonight around 9ish 10pm and ordered take out with Uber Eats. I saw some good reviews and…read morewanted to try the place out because I love me a good Biryani. The lady who I spoke with was very friendly and they accommodated my ask for extra lime and onion. So I have to say tho I ordered the Naan Burrito (beef) and the biryani (lamb) so the burrito was ALOT bigger than I expected.. I was thinking more of like a semi smallish gyro type of burrito ? Idk but it was almost chipotle sized (which isn't a bad thing!) however the burrito was mostly filled with rice a lot of rice and maybe a bit of meat. They did have this sauce that gave it a lot of flavor. The Biryani tho was good not really knocking it that much but it was lacking some flavor I feel like.. I also asked for 6 spice level for it and it didn't seem that spicy. All in all I was very excited to try this place and I am so down to try more items I would just order something else next time

Standing ovation! I…read morestopped by after visiting a nearby nail salon and was immediately welcomed by the owner. He was genuinely friendly, accommodating with my order, and made me feel like a valued customer from the moment I walked in. While waiting for my food, we chatted about other Jamaican restaurants around Cincinnati. What stood out most was how highly he spoke of the competition. Instead of putting other restaurants down, he gave each one credit where it was due. That level of confidence and respect says a lot about both the owner and the business. I took a quick look around while I waited, and the restaurant was spotless. The space felt clean, comfortable, and inviting. I ordered my meal to go and had about a 30-minute drive home. When I finally opened my container, steam poured out and the food was still piping hot. That's the kind of freshness you hope for but don't always get! The only hiccup was that my macaroni and cheese was accidentally left out of my bag. I called the restaurant, and before I could even explain why I was calling, the owner immediately acknowledged the mistake. He apologized and assured me he'd remember me the next time I came in. His response was genuine and customer focused, which made the situation easy to overlook. Great hospitality, delicious fresh food, and excellent customer service. If this first visit is any indication, I'll definitely be back and next time, I'm getting extra mac and cheese!

They do their best to give the Jamaican vibe.

So decided to go to this place because I have been craving Jamaican food, let's proceed…read more Venue: I'm not going to lie when I pulled up the parking lot was being worked on and the venue kind of looked suspect. However, When you go inside there's a left section a right section, and about four tables where you can sit and dine in (two tables on each side). Then you walk up to a glass where you put in your order. The inside was clean. The only thing was their door every time it closed kept making a loud banging noise so it was alarming until you got used to it. We decided to dine in and I'm glad we did. Would I come here on a date, naaa. But would I come here with the family and some friends for sure (which I did). Service: First of all you know there's that stereotype that if you go to a Jamaican restaurant and the service is bad the food is going to be amazing? ROFL. Honestly, I was scared because the guy who greeted us, Jason, was super nice. So in my head, I'm thinking oh man this food is about to be horrible lol. Jason is one of those people with an energetic, charismatic personality and he spoke with such kindness and happiness. I was thinking to myself whatever he's on I'm trying to get on it as well l, to be as happy as he is. Throughout the whole meal, he checked on us, made sure we were good and asked for our opinions. There was also another lady who came out and greeted us as well as very nice people. Amazing service!!!!!! Once again amazing service! Shout out to Jason! Food: like I said after the great service we received I wasn't feeling too hopeful about the food being good rofl. However, let me state this, I'm actually upset that I went into this establishment because now I have to figure out how I am going to budget for coming here so often. The food was unbelievably delicious!!!!! Danggggggg. (Punches air) l wish the food was nasty so I could not go back but it's nootttt. I'm about to go broke coming here every day almost ugh. They should start a loyalty program rofl. I got the Oxtail, on everything, this was so fresh and hot. Some of the best oxtail I've eaten. I've noticed a lot of Jamaican restaurants making their oxtails overly sweet but this was perfect. Like the gravy was really really good. The only thing I should have done was ask for more gravy which Jason told me I could have done after the food was gone lol. I know for next time. The rice was good. Let me say this, I don't even like cabbage but the way I smashedddddd. I legit inhaled all the food. My friend got the chicken curry. That chicken curry was seasoned just right not too salty not under season but perfect for dipping my beef patty in. My sister got the jerk chicken and when I say it tasted like they were killing the chicken and smoking it out in the back babbbyyyy!!!!! Whew, lord the way I'm trying not to go there while writing this ugh. I also ordered the festivals...... Just buy two orders trust me. Listen I could go on and on about the food let me just do the cons because it's easier. The only thing I wasn't too fond of was the plantains I feel like they were overly cooked I like mine's little bit firmer but to each their own they were still not bad. And the drink I got the Sorel was good but it was overly sweet. However, once I started eating the sweetness definitely went right along with the savoryness of the food. Price: for the oxtail, jerk chicken, two orders of festivals, two drinks I paid around $46. Not bad at all because the way I was eating all I could think about was my bills about to be $100 and it wasn't so I was happy. Pricing isn't bad. Yall know oxtail expensive! Lol Summary of you can't read all that lol. Do I recommend this place I sure the heck do! One of the best Jamaican restaurants in Cincinnati, I would say. I'm trying get a part time job here so I can eat for the freeeeeee. Hahaha. 10 outta 10 would recommend!!!!!

The food here is FIRE and the people at the front were nice and welcoming. GOOD VIBES coming from…read morethem for sure. I got the curry goat with double cabbage & oxtail with rice and peas & cabbage. I also got 2 orders of plantains. Everything was very tasty and went well together. You don't need to add any hot sauce because there's a little kick in the curry goat but to each is own.Ya'll have to come and try this spot if you haven't already. The only thing is, I wish there was a little bit more of everything since you're paying almost $20 for each dish. It seemed like only 2 people were operating the business so be patient. It's definitely well worth the wait!!!!
