Every time I visit, the atmosphere is so friendly that I end up chatting with the other customers, whether we're waiting in line or enjoying our meals. It's such a warm and welcoming experience!

We enjoyed several dishes including doubles, curry goat, Caribbean chicken wings, curry chicken, beef patties , plenty of fresh roti and a delicious refreshing drink made of hibiscus. Wow!

We dined in and enjoyed every bite and had plenty to take home.

It was our first Trini food experience and it certainly will not be our last! Great food, great vibes and warm welcoming awaits you. So Don't miss out on this gem of a local business.

The restaurant ambiance is chill and the music is all types of Caribbean. My 3 stars is for the service. For a Wednesday night, they only had one server to manage the whole floor. Took a while for us to at least get waters. The bar was super slow to get drinks out. When we go our appetizers we asked for side plates and that took a while. They ran out of oxtail for my friend's dish so she switched her order to Jerk Chicken. We had to remind them for napkins twice. Tip was included which is really annoying when the service doesn't match a guaranteed tip. Maybe we came on a night they were short staffed but I hope it's not like this if I do come back. Other than that, food was great and the space was nice.

We started with one Doubles which was honestly just average. The chickpeas were well-cooked but overall, it lacked depth and flavor. It was even lacking chutney/tamarind which I usually love and the fried flatbread wasn't crispy or as fresh. Not bad overall but nothing to write home about. The Curry Chicken was a great portion with delicious and comforting flavor but honestly, I wish we got the oxtails. After we finished, the owner said that was their bestseller. I wish he mentioned that earlier! The rice & peas and cabbage were good but lacked some seasoning. I will say it's super filling, shareable among 2 people, and a steal at $14. Worth a try if you're in the area!

One table and two chairs inside for dining in, but this is truly a to-go venue. Staff were busy making online orders so we waited awhile before getting served. Once they did it was fast and polite service. They actually allow you to make combo meals, so we had an Oxtail dinner and a Goat/Oxtail dinner, as well Jerk chicken by itself. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! We sat outside and ate in the car, cause it was hot inside. The cook came outside & we took the time to compliment him. This is TRUE AUTHENTIC Caribbean food. If you want an "Americanized" experience, go to 'Golden Krust.' Speaking of which, it's better than GK, it's cheaper, & you get more because they don't fill space with cabbage and plantain.
