The jerk chicken had the perfect spice and smokiness, the curry chicken was melt-in-your-mouth tender, and the rice and peas were seasoned perfectly.

The restaurant has a lively, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the flavors are authentic! I left feeling completely satisfied.

I will start by saying that this place is now serving dog food. The food was absolutely disgusting…read more- everything was hard, dry, and burnt, including the cake! Absolutely zero "F's" were given in the food preparation. The textures were appalling, as if the food had been scorched and then left out for hours before serving. The only remotely edible thing was the cold, burnt plantains, but even those were barely tolerable. I kept biting into gritty bits that I couldn't even identify as food, which made me seriously question the safety of what I was eating. If I had access to a lab, I would submit it to see what I'd [really] been served. I ended up throwing my entire meal in the garbage. To top it off, they've changed the name of the place, which just raises even more red flags. I can't help but wonder why they felt the need to do that. It's a waste of money, time, hope and food to ever go here. They disrespected the life of the poor chicken who died for this wretched soot seasoned, curry chicken slop. If my husband or anyone suggested this place I would seriously consider throwing hands. It doesn't matter what they are calling it now. Do yourself a favor and stay far, far away from this place.

Very nice environment. You can tell the owner really loves this place…read more The waitstaff were attentive and very professional. They had that ability to show up exactly when needed, and not a moment before. The food presentation was wonderful. The food was very tasty. I had the Jerk Chicken. It was a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. The only issue I had, and the only reason I didn't give 5 stars, was with the chicken itself. Whoever had broken down the chicken had chopped through the bones, leaving shards of bone in every bite. It was a bit difficult having to pull bits of bone out of every bite. I've had plenty of Jerk Chicken in my life, and this was my only experience like this. I'll probably go back, but I doubt I'll order anything that might have bones. The tofu looked good.

The curry goat had lots of big bones and the meat could have been cooked a little longer. The cowfoot soup was pretty good and tasty but it did not have any meat. It had dumplings and vegetables. The waitress/bartender could have been a little more welcoming and interacting; especially since there was only two women at the bar eating. The waitress was dry the entire experience. The ambience was nothing special. You can eat at the bar or in the dining are. They had a few jamaican pictures hanging up. I think I am a one and done with this experience

Food was absolutely delicious Service was very good and the price was reasonable.

I've been here twice. The first time I ordered the sample platter, it was amazing. The second…read moretime I ordered the sample platter again and it was a flop. Portions were significantly smaller and the ham croquetas were very disappointing. They definitely changed the way they made them. The ham in the croqueta was hard and tasted old and everything else did not taste like it was freshly fried and crispy. On the other hand, I ordered a cheeseburger, and that was amazing... I'm hoping to give it another shot one day, but it's not my first choice. The restaurant itself is very clean, service is very friendly and if you get the opportunity to sit outside on the patio, you will not be disappointed. Parking is a little tricky because it's not a big lot and you are sharing it with the restaurant nextdoor and the condo's.

The decor here is fun, vibrant and chic. And the seats/booth were very comfortable! We all ordered some beers and margaritas to start and shared the trio (guac, salsa, queso) and calamari appetizers. For my entree, I got the chicken quesadilla. Others orderd the fajitas, mar y terra (?), and tacos. Portions for the main were generous, and the food itself tasted great! I really enjoyed the quesadilla and the calamari appetizer was delicious too. I also tried the elote con chile margarita and it packed a unique punch for sure. We had 2 or 3 different servers so sometimes the ordering seemed a little confusing and mixed up, but overall, they were all attentive and ensured smooth dining experience for us. @azfitfoodfun

She made the experience even better with her positive attitude. The food was top-notch! I'm usually not big on franchises, but this location is consistent and absolutely delicious. We had the oxtail, which was tender and falling off the bone with amazing flavor. The curry goat had the perfect amount of spice, and the jerk chicken was just as delicious. The mac and cheese looked a little dry at first glance, but it definitely wasn't--it was rich and flavorful. The cabbage was perfectly cooked, and I loved the addition of carrots, peas, and corn. The rice was cooked just right as well. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be returning soon!

Can't get myself to try anything else because the flavor in that jerk is UNDISPUTED. Not one single place in Charlotte comes close to this food. I've tried them all... BUT found the greatest gift in Kannapolis, NC. Trust me... you will not regret it. Michelle makes her food to order so there is a wait. But worth every penny. Do yourself a "flavor" (ha! See what I did there?), call ahead, get there around 20 minutes later, and enjoy that food! If you are a jerk fan, I'm willing to bet you'll be back the next day! She's not open on Mondays.

The jerk chicken ( not spicy sauce on side) and brown stew chicken is always great. Everything is always fresh whether you order dine in or carry out. Not really a fan of the plantains unless they are fresh most times they are dry. My three year old love the cabbage but today unfortunately the cabbage was raw I mean you can hear the crunch with every bite. But still flavorful I must add. I think online orders placed through (door dash/ Uber Eats) are portioned differently than in person orders but that's just my personal opinion. I will be ordering again soon the location is very close to my home.
