Nestled in a perfect corner spot in a cozy hidden shopping mall, Chef Mark Evans and his partner created this much needed Caribbean hideaway with amazing food, fun atmosphere, fantastic staff and the warmest welcoming high energy vibe with fantastic music to boot. We ordered to go this time... The curry chicken :fall off the bone greatness with the most perfectly seasoned curry that enveloped the meat and not drowned it. The curry goat :has some deep deep flavor and was so tender and not chewy in the least bit. The stewed oxtails: were also braised to melty perfection. Loved that the rice and peas #1 had tons of flavor and wasn't just cooked in water and some salt, #2 the peas were not the usually red kidney beans that is normally used, but pigeon peas which I love more and balanced the rice perfectly. The callaloo is not mushy and the cabbage salad is addictive! Ordered the bun & cheese and my 4 yo devoured it. I really liked the addition of the guava paste but the only thing I ask is that they up the cheese slice, I'm used to a THICK slab of cheese between the delicious fruit cake like slices of bun and this one came with a super thin slice of cheese that literally just melted into the guava paste. Cannot wait to join Chef Mark and his staff and dine there next time very very soon! So happy to have them as part of my rotation of restaurant and take out here! Eat local!

The food here is authentic Jamaican food with a twist. I had the cilantro lime shrimp roti. It was…read moresoooo damn good and my mouth is watering now just thinking about it . It was cilantro lime shrimp and rice wrapped in a crepe, and drizzled with a cilantro lime cream sauce. The space is intimate and it feels like you're eating a home cooked meal at your family's home in the islands. The colorful decor, dancehall tunes and positive vibes created the perfect atmosphere. There is also outdoor patio seating. Chef Marcus was the perfect host. He made my dining experience so fun and festive!

I had high hopes for this place but.... Most of my meal as…read morewell as my friends was in-edible. The rice, beans, and cabbage was fine-but the meat? Barely meat. My jerk chicken was mainly bones and my friend's jerk pork mainly fat. See photos. My friend got a spicy beef patty as well which he said was no better than the one he buys at the dollar store. On top of the food being disappointing the guy tried to charge my friend 30$ for a medium plate and one beef patty. We had to point out that that did not align with their advertised price. Will not return.

They had a flaky crust and deliciously savory fillings. I did feel like they were a tad dry, but I gobbled them up all the same. The lady behind the counter was also very friendly and helpful.

No for real they offer an array of Jamaican food freshly made daily! The jerk chicken, the beef stew and the curry goat all looked so delicious. I started my adventure by being blown away by the interior and ambiance, it's like walking into a little restaurant in the heart of the beautiful island of Jamaica. The music, the vibes and definitely that intoxicating smell of the food makes it all worth it! Highly recommend trying out their mouth watering, tender and fall off the bone Oxtail tale. I got a large and it was perfectly delicious. Fall off the bone tender Oxail meat, with the mixture of spices and juices dripping off my fork when dig into their Mac and cheese, cabbage and Plantains, they all complement the Oxtail perfectly. Definitely have to stop in by, you won't be disappointed.

Surprise Charges Beware!…read more The food was honestly just okay, I got the oxtail dish and it was alright. My bigger issue is with their pricing. The online menu lists one price, but about 10 minutes after placing my order I got a notification that I'd been charged an extra $5. When I called, they told me the prices online 'haven't been updated.' That's not acceptable if your menu lists a price, customers shouldn't have to worry about surprise charges after they've already placed an order. Feels like false advertising and left a bad taste in my mouth, regardless of the food. Tip for others: double-check your total before ordering so you're not hit with unexpected charges.

Rhum to Rumba…read more... It's clearly been a while since I've been here, although the outside and the inside still look familiar, something about the overall feel felt different. For drinks, I was thinking about ordering a margarita, but our server mentioned the mojito specials. I quickly switched up and ordered the coconut mojito. My husband tried the mango passion fruit mojito, but it was extremely sour and had to be sent back. Unfortunately, the second drink he ordered also wasn't to his liking. I ordered the coconut mojito, the drink itself was good, but between the narrow glass and all the ice, it disappeared pretty quickly, which felt different from past experiences. Now Let's talk Dominican Ribs ... OMG...the thing that hooked me here the first time... The flavor was spot on, clearly that recipe has not changed. They fall off the bone, tender with that sticky sweet lick your fingers kind of special but they too were a little different. A little dainty. I just found my picture from 2019 and did a side-by-side. We also ordered the chicken wings and they to me didn't have a special feel. They were reminiscing of the ones I grab at Costco for my family barbecue. Good but didn't have that Caribbean inspired taste and they were not so, fall off the bone.

I wish I can give this beautiful establishment a 100/100 for their hospitality and food quality. Earlier Today with my experience at Island Empanada, I had to give their 10 empanadas for $37 a try. For the first 5 I choice chipotle beef and for the other 5 I chose the Philly cheesesteak. Both were extremely delectable. The sweet heat of the chipotle beef was amazing. Juicy beef with that oil dripping from it held all together by the thick empanadas dough layer. Locking in all of the flavors and juices. The Philly cheesesteak has to be my favorite. It's like you don't have to go to Philly to try their famous cheesesteak hahaha! Highly recommend trying the empanadas with their signature in house hot sauce! It has a little kick to it but it's nothing overpowering. But folks nothing beats the heat with GEWY CHEESE! You have try their cheese quesadilla! Gewy melt cheesy in a flour tortilla, ya can't beat that! Ever! I would like to give a major shout out to Lucas. A gentleman that was less fortunate than us came into the restaurant and did not have the money to buy something to eat and so without hesitation, Lucas went around the counter and gave their less unfortunate gentleman 3 empanadas and a drink. I found that experience very heroic. Lucas, you have won my heart and I would like you to know that you're doing an amazing job. Thank you for being a gentleman! And a beautiful soul. I will be back over and over !

Leon, who is extremely enthusiastic and just down right a cool cat, greated me at the window. I was torn between jerk shrimp or jerk chicken, but went with this recommendation based on how substantial the chicken portion is. It was ready in only 15 minutes and once I got home, I quickly dug in. I knew I could probably save about half of it for lunch today, but it was just so darn delicious that I devoured the entire platter in one sitting. Haven't tried them yet?
