I was really excited to try this place, and yeah, as expected the food is good. It's cooked well…read moreand flavored deliciously. The jerk chicken had a great kick, which was exactly what I was looking for, and the rasta pasta slapped. It was creamy and flavorful. Honestly, the best side option, and I wish I opted for more of that. Better than the mac n' cheese, which I found to be alright. I have been to other places that include rice, but the meal here doesn't come with rice, so you have to choose it as a side. Not that it's necessary since there's rasta pasta right there. It's not a particular big place, but you can definitely eat here. When I visited, it was empty but busy because most people seem to opt for takeout here. I wish that the person at the front was a little more helpful with the difference between a medium and a large. I understand it's more food, but is the container bigger? Or is it another scoop or portion of meat? Does making it a large mean the sides are more too? I don't know, I was only told it was more food. I got the impression that I was being annoying, and I should hurry up and order, so I did. Not the best experience, so it's a good thing the food makes up for that.

Food is really really good! It has a bit of sweetness to it that threw me off a bit, but that was…read moremy only disdain about it. I liked that the chicken was soft, perfectly stewed and not tough. Cabbage is firm but cooked how they are supposed to be cook. Rice and peas were perfect. Service was fast. I ordered take out and sat down for about 5 mins and food was hot and ready. If I'm ever in the area, I will be back to try the oxtails.

The rice was amazing.

Ordering a jerk tofu got me one of the more impressive renditions of such a dish I've ever seen, with ample sauteed vegetables and a sauce that delivered a robust, sweet and spicy flavor. The tea I got to drink was also sweet; I wish I had known that in advance as I would have just had water. I tried a coco bread (presumably with coconut milk in it), which was handy for sopping up my sauce but not anything that really jumped out at me. There were a few other vegetable dishes and an extensive selection of juices and Caribbean sodas, so plenty of ways to get the island flavor. This particular culinary tradition isn't all that easy to find in the U.S., so I was happy to have found it here.

My partner had the oxtail and said it was well-seasoned, super tender, and the portion was generous--though a bit on the pricey side. The cabbage was also really good--not the best we've ever had, but definitely solid. As for me, the rice and beans were just okay. The texture was a bit mushy and it lacked the bold, seasoned flavor you typically expect from Caribbean rice and peas. The mac and cheese, however, was a standout. Creamy, flavorful, and hands down one of the best parts of the meal--right up there with the cabbage. The brown stew chicken was good, but I've had better. It was tender, just needed a little more seasoning to really hit the mark. Felt like it was missing a little something. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and I'm definitely looking forward to trying more items on the menu!
