We had the salmon bowl, delicious and served with a great curry, though would like more spice. Plantains are excellent. Off notes: 1. Natty bread is just greasy and not too good. 2.

I have had a lot of amazing Mexican food in California for decades, so I may be a bit of a tough critic. This place is pretty good Mexican for North Carolina, but I'm still looking for a really dynamite Mexican restaurant in town. No disrespect to the restaurant, as I know that costs have gone up, but the prices seem a bit high for us to want to go there very often. I expect we'll come back and try again, cuz it's a cool spot in a neat part of town, the people are very nice, and I like to support local small business.

You can pick between several sides as well. I opted for the Curry chicken with Rice and beans. It was fantastic and great flavor without all the heat you expect in Thai food. When they gave me the Togo box I think it weighed 5lbs. Can't wait to try the oxtail. If you have tried all the grab n go chains in the area then give this small business a chance. I had a coconut water Jamaican drink and it was great, not a soda that is just loaded up with sugar and chemicals. A healthy refreshing drink. They had quite a variety of native Jamaican canned drinks and even canned coffee too. The Jamaican grocery in the rear of the building is loaded with bulk drinks, food and even authentic herbs and spices to make your own meals at home. If you are homesick for Jamaica you can get fixed up here. They can to do pickup also if you call in your order. Friendly staff!

First time staying at this hotel and they have a voucher for food and since I wasn't hungry, I got…read moresome desserts to try. I'm OBSESSED with chocolate so I had to try the chocolate cake. I very much love the filling on the inside which was a chocolate frosting and loved the chocolate layer on the outside of the cake. The cake part itself was definitely a bit dry. It was flakey when I put my spoon into it. Still good but the filling helped a lot. It did come with some kind of fruit sauce on the side (maybe strawberry?) but I didn't wanna make it a fruity chocolate cake so I dipped a few bites. I also saw they had Bavarian cream churros and since I've never had churros before, I wanted to try those as well. I'm not sure how churros are supposed to be but I was thinking they would be a little soft since they had filling but they weren't. They were on the crunchy side and I that kinda made it hard to taste the cream in the middle. They were good but like I said, not sure if that's how they're supposed to be. They came with a chocolate sauce and it was delicious but that definitely masked the flavor of the churro. Both were $7 each so not too bad. I think I'd get both again if I'm here in the future. Side note, no, I don't finish either dessert. I took them home. Lmao!

The hostess found our reservation right away and seated us inside--originally I asked for patio seating, but Mother Nature said "absolutely not," so indoors it was. Our waitress was fantastic. I'm about 87% sure her name was Sylvia (according to my girlfriend), but what I do know is that she was a fun, blondish woman from New Orleans with a personality that made the experience even better. We kept it light--just drinks and appetizers to share. I ordered a Coquito, my girlfriend ordered something sweet (the name escapes me, but the smile didn't). Food-wise, we shared the chicken empanadas, yuca fritas, and crispy Caribbean wings. Every bite was a win. We had to make a dramatic exit because we were heading to a walking ghost tour (priorities), so we grabbed dessert to go: pastelitos de guayaba. Even eaten on the move, they were absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, great vibes--10/10 would celebrate another month-versary here.

You know you are being fed by someone who likes to eat when you get this much food. When I first took a bite of the guacamole, I almost fainted. It was seriously that good. I was excited to be able to get some non-meat items so I hope they continue that. I do often crave Caribbean flavors and this is some of the best I have tried.
