Jamaica can be difficult territory when in search of healthy take out or a sit down meal. In a neighborhood dominated by Fast food chains such as McDonald's, Burger King and every West Indian Restuarant under the sun, it can be a conquest to find healthy but tasty grub. The setup here is that of a Smiler's in the hood. A rare find!!! I work nearby off Merrick Blvd and this place is my saving grace when I'm not brown bagging. Set up Buffet style, there are FRESH salads, hot food items such as lasagna, baked chicken, grilled, broiled salmon, rice, SKY IS THE LIMIT! The bonus here: Everything is good. SO GOOD I asked the owner if he would cater for my wedding someday. The owners are Hispanic, so they have nailed the Latin food items!
SOUP OF THE DAY- I usually order the soups at $2.50. Split Pea & Lentil just like my granny made. Fresh vegetables stewed right in!!!! Paired with a salad with avocado and fish. That's a meal for $5 !!! You can't do better if you tried !!! The staff is amazingly kind and professional. They cook everything in the basement kitchen and you see them replenishing the buffet often and keeping it clean. This place is a diamond in the rough!!! I spend my lunch breaks upstairs dining and meeting with friends. read more
