The chicken was tender, juicy and flavorful. The rice and peas and plantains were very good too. While tasty, I think they microwave the Mac and cheese because the styrofoam container was melting underneath. The prices are on the higher side. It was $18 for the dinner. Fortunately, you get large portions. I usually get about two meals from one order. The food is better here than other jerk restaurants.

Well decorated and inviting we felt like we were back in Montego Bay. The chicken curry and the brown stewed chicken was outstanding! The rice and peas (red beans), buttery cabbage and mac and cheese hit the spot. I was assured by the owner that their oxtails were one of best seller. The chef visited our table and told us about his life in Portmore where he learned to cook. He learned well!! This is the place to visit! Ya mon!!!! Big up respect!

Ok ok ok, so you don't visit this place for the service or you'd be utterly disappointed. This is…read moredefinitely a no-frills kind of place. And they were out of half of the items I asked for. Brown stew snapper? Out. Carrot cake? Out. Festival? Out. By that time I was like, "I know you have to have jerk chicken! Lemme just get some of that." And it seems that fourth time was a charm. Upon arrival, food was pleasing to the eye. Colorful. Fresh looking. Smelled fragrantly Jamaican. But it didn't only look good, it was EXCELLENT! Best jerk chicken I have ever had! Spicy but not overly hot. Had a smokey flavor that added a nice complexity. Spice was offset by the sweet juicy pineapple tidbits sprinkled sporadically on top. Rice n peas were good. Nothing to write home about. Cabbage was cooked perfectly! Toothsome. A lil flavor but not enough to compete with the real star: that Jerk Chicken! Would I return? ABSOLUTELY! I almost went back the same day!

They run out fast on things that are "tik tok popular" so make sure to call and place your order. Also, African food is NOT fast food. It will take atleast 30-1hr to get your meal. CALL AHEAD. They are also new and a small business for now so give them time. The location is in the same building as the daycare/school so do not think you're in the wrong place. Just look for the sign. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is because I feel as there could have been more meat in the meals, especially the fish, for the price that you pay. Other wise A+++++!!

The coconut curry shrimp lacked the depth and really any flavor you'd expect for something curried, the jerk wings lacked that quintessential smoke flavor and smell and at opening when we went they said we're out of rice and peas and substituted it for overcooked jasmine rice and the pineapple upside down cake was also unavailable. Again, maybe a place for appetizers and drinks only.
