    Found this place through Yelp while on the search for some bomb Jamaican food. I never judge a business on their appearance. Most of my favorite restaurants are hole in the wall, mom & pop spots - and this restaurant was no different. I decided to come here for takeout. It was easy enough to find with plenty of off-street parking. It wasn't busy when I came around 6:30 pm, there was one other patron getting food when I arrived. The inside of the restaurant is....quaint. I ended up getting the rice and beans with jerk chicken and cabbage. I really like the way the food is prepared here. The jerk chicken was perfect. Practically falling off the bone, perfect seasoning, and just enough spice to it. The cabbage was really good too. Some places try to be extra and add unnecessary fixings to the cabbage. They had a variety of softdrinks available and a decent menu. I believe they were out of oxtail when I was there, but that's about it. Y'all should definitely try it out if you ever get the chance!

    Was recommended by a friend who use to go to the other location. After reading Yelp reviews, people have said they opened this location. This place doesn't look like much inside out but it is an absolute hidden gem! We came here around lunchtime and there was a long line up. By the time it was our turn, we could only order a small oxtail combo (rice, and cabbage) since they ran out and it would take too long for the next batch. In addition, we ordered the curry goat combo, again comes with rice and cabbage. The ox tail was absolutely delicious! It is not spicy at all, this is coming from someone who can only handle mild heat! The rice with red bean and cabbage was also full of flavor. The beef patty was crispy and spicy but delicious! I'll definitely be coming back!

    I've been looking for a good Jamaican restaurant in worcester for years. Finally doing it. Now don't come here looking for luxurious fine dining. It's more suited for take out. The outside landscape looks more like Jamaica than in a city. But don't let the whole in the wall look confuse you. Come in here. Look at the menu and order. I promise the best Jamaican in the area. The curry goat is on point!!! $11 for a small is a bit more expensive than something if find in Boston, but it was so good, worth every penny. GOOD NEWS. THEY NOW TAKE CREDIT CARDS! And they have remodeled. Looks more modern inside and they have seating to eat inside.

    Goat curry and jerk chicken meals.

    A true home cooked meal from Jamaica. Wonderful service and AMAZING food. Jerk chicken is so flavorful and very tender. Curry goat is delicious - I'd like it a little spicier but texture is just right. Portions are huge. A large meal is really two meals. The only things missing are the beach and breadfruit haha!

I often gauge the attention to detail with an establishment by the cleanliness of the restroom. Theirs was absolutely spotless and even smelled fragrant! That's a great indicator. Furthermore, anytime I get Jamaican cuisine it's like a good Italian restaurant with a litmus test. For Italian, it's calamari; for Jamaican it's the jerk chicken. Mama Mia did they hit a homerun. However, I also got an order of the curry chicken for a rounding of the flavor bases. PRO TIP-get the traditional rice and peas, ask for the ox tail sauce over the top. NEXT LEVEL! Both chicken dishes were slow cooked and maxed out with flavor. The heat level of the curry was actually a little more than the jerk. Regardless, they both hit the mark. Highest recommendation! Bon appetite! PS-super friendly service and staff.

The rice was flaky and not over cooked, the chicken was seasoned very well, the cabbage was my fave, cooked perfectly and sweeeet. And last but not lease the plantains was overripe, which is PERFECT.

Gorgeous presentation with an edible flower and gold dust. We also had a side order of maduros for an app. Delicious! The maduros were legit my favorite thing here, although everything was great. For a main course I had shrimp in garlic sauce with mamposteo. Served on a huge plate, there was a giant portion of rice and a small side salad as well as many good sized shrimp. Super delicious and the food was piping hot. Service was great and I loved the music here, which was a mix of reggaeton, Bad Bunny and Karol G but played at a low, chill volume so it didn't distract from conversation. The interior is sort of casual but with some nice touches like a wall of greenery with a PR flag. Our server was super friendly and this is a family business. We parked in the private lot in the back, which is reserved for tenants of the building. A guy who appeared to be associated with the barber shop in the same building told us it was safe to leave our car there to visit the restaurant. I'd recommend parking near the barbershop since they seemed to keep their door open and would see anyone messing with your car. There were a number of homeless people here begging but they did not bother us. Only reasons for not giving five stars has nothing to do with the food, atmosphere or service. I found the women's bathroom in need of a cleaning and they also have a small convenience fee that was not mentioned anywhere but was added to our bill. Additionally, be careful to review your check because they automatically add a 20 percent gratuity.

    I went with my wife to enjoy some Puerto Rican food, the food was good, the service was good…read more The reason I'm only giving them one star is because they included a 20% gratuity charge on the check. As far as I know tipping is voluntary, I don't have any problem leaving a tip, actually I like to think that I'm a good tipper but I don't think the tip should be included on the bill by default unless it's a large party. (6 people or more) To make it worse, after giving my card to pay the check when I got the bill to be signed, the bill was asking for a tip. So, when you go to that restaurant if you're not alert you will end paying a gratuity charge hidden in the check plus a tip at the moment of signing. Too bad because the food was good but I will not visit again.
