It was a bit busier than last time but the service was still friendly and food, fresh!! We got the salmon salad , lobster Mac & jerk salmon plate. And YUM! It was better than I remembered! Glad to have found this place and can't wait to go back, again!!

Yonette and her family/team welcome regulars and new customers as if you are a guest in their home. I was unable to reach the top of the fridge (I'm short) for my bottle of water and her husband thoughtfully put one on the counter for me! The food is consistently excellent, from the spices used to create the jerk, to the depth of flavor in the curries. I love how tender her oxtails and goat curry are, and her cabbage is an outstanding side (I always get extra to go). I also love her vegan curry, which I love as much as her meat dishes! The beef patties are flaky and filled with a mix of earthy flavors, perfect for an easy heat and go snack or meal. I've been eating her meals since before covid when she was at the farmer's market and her consistently great quality of ingredients and value for the skills she uses is unparalleled.

Waited maybe 10-15 minutes for my food Jerk chicken: 5/5 this plate came with some cabbage, plantains, and rice. This was my first time trying jerk chicken so I don't have anything to compare it to but I thought it was pretty good. The chicken had a slight kick that I really liked but not super spicy overall

The employee behind the register was super friendly and helped us narrow down our selections: curry chicken roti wrap, red pepper goat roti wrap, jerk chicken, and mac and cheese pie. Highlights were the curry chicken roti and jerk chicken - soooo goood! My buddies were all about the mac and cheese though! Seating space is somewhat limited with a handful of tables inside and a couple outdoors, but didn't have any issues finding a spot at the time. Didn't see a parking lot, but got lucky with nearby street parking. Solid place, would definitely hit it up again!

I just gave in and ordered delivery, and ended up with one of the best meals I've had in a long time. I got the plantains, the oxtail patty, and the wings. Those flavors thrilled me. I was shocked at how good each new thing was. I've since had it a few more times. My only complaint is that the shrimp roti isn't as good as it could be. My shrimp were over cooked, and the flavor is missing something. My favorite has been the pepper goat roti. BABY! That is about to be a problem for my wallet. What a delicious creation. What a beautiful restaurant. Glad it exists. This place has a new fan out of me.

I got an oxtail plate, with djon djon & bannan peze. It also came with a little bit of salade russe (Haitian potato salad), pikliz, and sauce. The diri djon djon was so flavorful, definitely my favorite thing on the plate. The oxtail was seasoned well and pretty tender. The pikliz was good, pretty mild so I could enjoy it all. I tried some griot and thought it could have marinated longer. The portions felt very huge. The service here is really friendly and accommodating. The food came put after not too long of a wait and it was hot. The space is cool. It looks like an old diner. There's konpa playing in the background and games like Uno & Dominos available if you want to play. We also got two Haitian beef patties to go. They're legit! Came with pikliz and another sauce I never had before, it was green with a bit of spice and tang. The main downside is the location. It was fine in the daytime, but at night I wouldn't want to be alone as a woman here. That's just me though. Parking is metered on the street ($6/hr)

I shared with her it was my first time and she was patient as I looked over the menu before placing my order. I love the vibe of the restaurant. The cook was back there singing and cooking his a$$ off tho lol. It was a cool first time experience. Got back to my car and began eating. The oxtails were really good especially with that gravy. Nice and tender. The gravy with the rice and peas was good also. The steamed veggies were fresh. I don't care for plantains so I swapped it out for another festival. I love them. Just wish they were bigger lol. Price point, for $27.56 it's a lot of food and it's really good. So it's worth it to me. It wasn't a long wait either. A few folks ordered before I did and after.

The sides were just as impressive, especially the mac and cheese and the plantains. They also give really generous portions so you definitely get your money's worth.

Highly recommend if you are looking for amazing Jamaican food.

My stomach was turning the whole ride home which ended with me throwing up for 2 hours. To top it off it's dirty as fuck in there. Not a single table wiped down. Place need to be shut down

A big fan of island -Dominican food although it was overpriced compared to what you Can get it for on the east coast but what ever.. I went back to the counter to ask for hot sauce and the cashier told me it was a 1$ for hot sauce.. I said really? The owner, walked over very politely with a straight face and said we don't eat hot sauce on the island so it's going to cost 1$ What does one have anything to do with the other? I didn't understand her logic. I paused for a second and she said so would u like some hot sauce? It was some bottled generic hot sauce not even house made. I declined to order. The food was pre cooked , set in a steamer. Fast casual restaurant with a few tables Food was bland and subpar.

Bold rich spicy those are just a few words you'd use to describe island cuisine…read more Beautiful sorry you're not meeting that mark. As I have stated before I'm harder on island cuisine cause I'm an islander. Yes I love the concept I love the look, but I this is a spot I'd take my friend who liked Caribbean and didn't like their meals seasoned. Ordered the one beef and one chicken patty but when. Our order came she informed us they ran out of chicken. Not sure if they make the beef patty there or not? The filling was cool there was definitely seasoning. The crust was good. Everything with the patty reminded me of a JA Patty. I'm not saying they Tower or Tasty but it's good. The brown stew chicken was begging to be a start but ended up like an extra on a movie. The cabbage I wouldn't even call it a side of cabbage more like a garnish of cabbage was missing that mark. The peas and rice I was pleased they used dried peas and not canned and I was pleased they used coconut milk but they didn't use enough and the thyme scallions ginger allspice cloves salt were all missing like a wanted poster. Now we all know oxtails price has increased from dirt cheap high as hell, but oxtails for there price need to undoubtedly be the star of your show. These weren't the star of any show. When you eat oxtails your suppose to be like damn licking them fingers more than the colonels chicken.
