I was really disappointed with the porridge here. I was expecting something closer to authentic…read moreWest Indian-style porridge--rich, smooth, and full of flavor--but this missed the mark completely. The texture was off, more watery than creamy, and it lacked the depth you usually get from spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla. It tasted very plain and one-dimensional, almost like basic oatmeal rather than the hearty, comforting porridge I grew up with. There was no real sweetness or spice balance, and it just didn't have that traditional, homemade feel. If you're looking for true West Indian-style porridge, this probably won't satisfy that craving.

They have a selection of different meats, rice, seafood and patties. There is something for everyone. I ordered a Large jerk chicken, rice and peas, and cabbage. It was $16. They are very generous with the portion sizes. The jerk chicken was good, just a tad bit salty (hence the 4 stars). The BBQ sauce on the chicken helped balance out the salt. The rice and peas was excellent, I tasted the coconut milk and other ingredients in it. It's a small place with 2 small seats, it's better to order and go. I will definitely come back and try other dishes .

Hunger is a real catalyst. I was told the food here feels and tastes like downright home cooking…read more And it does. The oxtail and white rice was gone in a heartbeat - I was lucky to get a sample. The turkey neck and steak were both accompanied with rice and peas. For me, those were a disaster - because the rice and peas was a bit heavy on the salt thus detracting from the meats. The fried chicken gets its own paragraph. If I hadn't driven away a good distance already, I would have turned back for more. As we say, it was "more-ish!" So two hits and two misses. I will be back to try everything with white rice, or ask for a peas n rice sample for salt content. Update - I was not the only one with the salt issue. Apparently this is not the norm. So someone hand went a little heavy that day. No biggie - I will be back regardless!

Located a bit out of the way in East New York, I came here for a friend's birthday dinner. It was a…read morefun place to celebrate, as the interior was colorful, popping with a DJ, and there was a lively atmosphere. Decided to order the Whole Red Snapper Escovitch, which was fried, topped with onion, carrots, and peppers in a slightly spicy vinegar sauce. This was served with a side of rice and peas, as well as steamed veggies. The Red Snapper was beautifully plated and I loved the well seasoned, delightfully crispy and tender meat of the fish. It was made in a certain way that it wasn't difficult to eat around the bones. The veggies on top were nice and crunchy, full of savory flavor. Steamed veggies included broccoli, green beans, and carrots. This was fresh and tasty. Rice and beans were perfectly cooked with yummy coconut flavor. I got to try the Whole Red Snapper in Brown Stew and Steamed. Surprisingly I really enjoyed the Stewed version, as the sauce was boldly flavorful with the fish being succulent and juicy. I also tasted the Plantains and Roti with Curry Chicken. Plantains were deliciously crisp, soft, and lightly sweet. Roti was also good filled with plenty of chicken. Service was solid. Our waiter was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Prices were reasonable. As the place is far from me, I don't see myself returning.

The space feels very inclusive, blending Trinidadian, Guyanese and Jamaican culture. They also have a section with different sweets, teas, and homemade drinks that they prepare in-house.

Unfortunately, today was one of the bad days the rice was bland and not fully cooked, and the peas were still hard. It's frustrating not knowing what to expect each time. I'm not sure if it depends on who's cooking that day, but the lack of consistency really needs to be addressed.
