Depending on which way you are coming, you may need to drive to the far end of the parking lot past the bakery to enter the lot. There is a closer entrance but it is angled for the opposite direction and not an easy turn. There are also several one-way lanes in the parking lot so you may need to drive extra to get to an open parking spot. We did find handicapped spaces close to the entrance, but you need to drive to the back of the lot to get onto the one-way lane that goes past them. While these are the closest spots, it is still a bit of a walk to the entrance of the building, although everything is nicely paved and even. Once you get in, the interior is bright and inviting. There are many centralized seating options throughout the interior, mostly high-top tables but a few normal tables arranged in cozy settings. There is a patio in the rear of the building for when the weather is nice. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The center is made up of all the various eating establishments. There is no specific seating for the individual restaurants, so you will order your food from whatever place strikes you fancy and then take the food packaged into To Go containers to a table in one of the many seating areas. Make sure you pick up utensils and napkins from where you ordered your food as there is nothing on the tables. We were there after the lunch rush so it really was not crowded at all. There were small groups of people wandering around as well as several eating a late lunch. We did notice the overhead background music was loud and made conversation difficult. I could imagine during lunch or the in evening the overall sound level would be high as the acoustics do not favor conversation. This is pretty much only a food court. We had heard there were various craft shops as well, but apparently those had all closed. While the food selection is quite varied, addition of something to do other than eating would make this a destination location rather than just a food stop. There is some renovation happening in one end, so perhaps other shops are coming in the future. Still, it is a clean location with great interior space and makes use of a building with a lot of history that was important to the area.

I mentioned to her that I had the regular crust pizza before Melissa immediately put my order in for a regular pizza and she walked over and gave instructions to the pizza creators I was truly impressed with Mellisa's warm caring disposition given to me with ease I felt with the return and re-ordered Melissa has outstanding customer service skills. That's a rarity today to show compassionate, empathy and going out of her way to make sure my meal was superb quality. I noticed that she was well-dressed professionally with a pleasant voice when she spoke I took in the pleasure to know that 'values' exist through Melissa's disposition was a wonderful experience with an uncomfortable situation of returning a pizza already consumed one slice by me Melissa made an exchange with ease given a warm memorable smile I am wholeheartedly grateful for her assistance this evening Thank You for the positive experience J Motyka

    First, let's be clear the reason to eat here is good Jamaican food at reasonable prices, not…read moreambiance. It's in the food court of Asheville Mall, which like most malls is struggling these days. The good side of that is most of the crappy chain mall food outlets are gone, leaving space for a local business to take its place. It seems like a family run operation. They had a decent selection of menu items (but they were out of a few things, which seems a little strange for Saturday lunchtime). The food was good, which is the key thing. I haven't been to Jamaica so I can't compare it to food there, but having had Jamaican food a number of times in the US and Canada, I'd say it among the best I've had. We ordered 2 Small entrees: chicken curry and jerk chicken. Each came with 2 sides. There was a perfect amount of food for lunch. Medium might be good for dinner, but I can't really imagine getting a Large unless you're splitting it, saving some for leftovers or you're a really big eater. The (bone-in) chicken in the curry was delicious. It was so tender it basically fell off the bone. The curry sauce was excellent. It went well with the yellow rice we selected for this entree. We choose the plantains as the second side for this one, and while a bit chewy, they were good. The (bone-in) jerk chicken was also good, although between the two I liked the curry better. The jerk chicken had been grilled nicely with dry jerk seasoning, but they also provided optional jerk sauce, which was good on both the chicken and the side of brown rice with Jamaican peas (similar to black-eyed peas) we got with this entree. The sauce was dark and smoky with a good amount of jerk heat. As the second side for this entree, we got cabbage. I'm not sure what all they do to this side dish, but it was surprisingly flavorful. It had some carrots mixed in along with spices like rosemary and somehow they had created an almost rue-like sauce. It was very savory. Based on the taste, quantity, quality and price of the food alone, I'd give this place a 5. But the service was close to rude. Like it was a big bother to take our order and provide us the food. That costs them a star. Even at a fast food counter in a mall food court, if you are a business owner or server, you can be friendly, or at least passably nice. Still, given the food itself, we'd go back.

    Dont be fooled by Food Court setting. The food is much more than I had expected. I've been a couple…read moretimes and gotten the jerk and the bbq chicken on seperate occasions. This trip, pic attached, was for bbq. The plate comes with a bed of rice as shown. Both visits I've gotten the cabbage. It's been flavorful both times. Before I forget, be sure to get the sauce over the rice..you'll be glad you did. Oxtail available both times I visited but had such good meal with the chicken decided to just stay with that this trip.
