Husband & Wife duo will throw down in the kitchen and bring that Caribbean flair to the boro. Don't let the opportunity pass you by, go out and be adventurous. Try their food, definitely worth tracking them down. I'm beyond happy they are here. Everything is scrumptious. If you like heat, ask for a side of real pepper sauce. They have an option for everyone under the sun!

As I parked in the lot behind the restaurant, I passed the smoker with chicken on the grill and it looked and smelled legit! The exterior is colorful and welcoming, with plenty of outdoor seating, and inside everything felt bright, happy, and clean. The owner Emil was very friendly as I ordered the jerk chicken plate to go, which comes with rice and beans, stewed cabbage, and plantains. I went with the large chicken portion and it's definitely enough to feast on all day. At home, I plated everything and the meal looked beautiful. The jerk chicken sauce was dark, rich, and very spicy, on par with Nashville hot chicken. I loved the earthy kick! The cabbage and carrots were warm with a light pickled flavor unlike anything I've had before; I could honestly eat a whole bowl of it. The rice and beans were the perfect starchy balance to the spicy jerk sauce, and the plantains added just the right touch of chewy sweetness. It feels like a fabulous homecooked meal, made with love! I thoroughly enjoyed every bite and can't wait to bring my husband here. This place is a true hidden gem in Nashville, and I'll definitely be back often!

Almost 50$ When I tell yall that this place has changed. The smell of the food itself was bad. The rice was dry, no flavor The plantains were fry and somehow tasteless The Jerk chicken?!?? This one upset me. Because it used to be so good. The chicken was so dry and tasteless as well I'm questioning if they just gave me a bad batch but I can never go here again to try it out. Too much money wasted right now for something I will not be eating.

I was excited to taste the food and support a small business. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. Some of the oxtails were cooked just right - falling off the bones, whereas others were tough. And if they weren't tough, it was fatty. cabbage was under seasoned, plantains were just meh. Rice was the best dish ordered. Food did stay warm through delivery time. Delivery time using DoorDash was prompt and entire order was correct.

The lady who did was nice. 4 stars 4.5 Stars - Food: Just a tad too savory. The oxtail was still delicious. I actually liked the plantains. I usually hate plantains. When you eat it with the oxtail and rice, the flavors of each item balanced each other out. I just needed a hint of more spice & heat. The cabbage was bland ehhhh.... But the quantity overrules the taste factors. Rice and beans were good. I still don't like beans. I will definitely come back to try the mutton. :)
