One answered the phone while still dishing out the food. I was disgusted. As Jamaicans, we were taught not to talk over food when its not yours. Similar to not tasting the food and putting the utensils back into the pot.

On my second visit, we tried a few more things…read more Callaloo, goat curry, jerk chicken...and we got the oxtail again. The goat was tasty, but did have a bit of goatness to it. If you don't like any gamey flavor in your meat, maybe it's not for you. The jerk chicken was delicious - so flavorful, just like the jerk pork, but I did like the jerk pork a bit more. Callaloo was ok, but more potatoes and bread I find vs veggie. I really just wanted a lot of greens. The flavors were good though. Oxtail was consistent like last time and excellent. Overall, another good meal and we're learning what we like here. The whole atmosphere is fun too.

But I'm sure having it freshly made is the way to go. Did have their Diri Kole and fried chicken which was readily available, rice was very tasty not dry at all and chicken was good as well.
