I had recommended this place to my friends and the restaurant made me look bad. This used to be a good spot to go get Jamaican food but this place is TRASH now!!! TRASH I SAY!!!! The two waitresses gave us terrible customer service. One of them was new, and we understand that new people can mess up a lot but she was just not professional at all. The new waitresses and the trainer was talking to a guy that worked at another food spot instead of taking care of us, so we had to either call them or stand up to get their attention. On top of that, the new server was taking our order but she was not writing things down, she kept getting everything wrong and never gave me some items that I had ordered. Kept telling us there wasn't enough Oxtails but then kept switching it that we have enough Oxtails, then switched it back. Just save your money and don't eat here. Definitely never coming back! read more

Food was pretty good. The lady behind the counter isn't the nicest though. I could tell she was frustrated my partner and I were a little drunk. Don't like being around drunk people? Don't work downtown past 9. I asked what was in the pasty and the response was, "Don't have it." No eye contact. No smiles. Nothing. Beef patties are spicy and flaky. Jerk was nicely done. read more

I ordered the Jerk Chicken, rice and peas with steam veggies and it was delicious! I love Jamaican food and having this place so close to work is fantastic! The staff is super friendly! The decor is beautiful and music that is being played is a very welcomed changed to the current downtown bar scene. I really hope that Orlando supports this much needed business in our downtown community! I can't wait to go back and try the curry chicken over white rice. Yummy! read more

Terrible service. Ordered food through a delivery service, ordered two of the vegan entrees and they cancelled one without notifying us, on top of that the food was painfully spicy when we asked for not spicy. Just an absolute waste of money, it's not worth eating from here! read more

This was the worst food experience I've ever had. The owner of the restaurant attacked me and my friend. I wish I was making this up but this man literally took the hats off our heads . He kept threatening us and SCREAMING "call the cops"... all we wanted was our hats back. So eventually after 10-15 minutes of his irrational yelling his friends came up ready to get physical with us and assault us. We walked away and they followed looking to pick a fight. Eventually the police got involved and we got our stuff back but I'm so embarrassed for this man. This is not how a professional business owners should act. The food was trash too read more

A Complete Failure We waited 45 minutes for some food to arrive at our table. No one checked back with us or updated us on what the hold up might be. During our wait, I decided to use the restroom. Impossible. The restroom is right next to the front entrance.The door opens directly to the toilet in plain sight, but the restroom door is so warped it is impossible to shut, let alone lock. So unless you can station a guard, the restroom is not usable. Seems the AC is not functioning properly either, as they had numerous paddle fans as well as big floor fans running. After waiting over half an hour, a waiter (not the person who waited on us) came over and asked if we had been helped yet. What? Cannot comment on the food; we never got any. Ten minutes later we simply left in frustration. I cannot recommend this restaurant on any level. read more

We ran into this little spot heading to Rum Fest this past weekend, we stopped in and grabbed a Pattie with Coco bread and a Ting. It was really good because it is hard to find good Coco Bread not everyone can make it. My only downside was the plantains seemed as if they weren't quite ripe for a true sweet plantain and the bathroom door. You had to pull up on it in order to close it. I will be trying them again to see how the other items on the menu are. read more

Tried them out for lunch and I wasn't too happy. I ordered curry chicken... the rice smelled sour, the curry was a bit different than what I'm used to having as well as a bit salty and it just didn't smell right. My co workers even asked if it was my food that smelled... that was the validation and I threw it out. I will give them another try but only for the patties. I really hate that my first experience wasn't a good one. read more

Bomb ass jerk chicken! I've yet to have a bad meal from here. I always get a small meal and even that is a large portion for me. Great value! Great taste! read more

Stumbled across this place walking downtown after a movie. The beef patty and ox tail were amazing. I loved it soo much i have been there 5 times since and they will continue to get my business because you can tell they put love into their food. The staff and owner are always welcoming and more than accommodating every time i come in. Do yourself a favor and go see them. read more

Good Curry Chicken Haven't Tried Anything ELSE But That Curry Chicken You Can't Go Wrong read more

Had the vegan drumsticks. It was pretty bad. Room temp old rice with maybe 8 beans and some limp cabbage. I don't know what I expected on a Sunday night but this was a disappointment. read more

Amazing food and great service. Overall fantastic experience. Would definitely come back again!

I've been here at least six times in the past two weeks. By far the best ox tail and curry chicken I've had in years. Do yourself a favor and drop in for lunch or dinner. read more

me friends and I went for lunch and one of them ordered a soup, a beef patty and water and it cost her $10. the soup came in a take out container 1/4 full. I thought that it was a sampler but we're too embarrassed to ask. She would have gotten more for her money at the corner Nature's Table. my food was mediocre at best read more

Great service, great food and music. Love it, I will definitely come back for more. Kiarah was amazing. Thank you for your service.

Great food, love the jerk chicken and rice would go there in a minute. Great place and great music playing when in the restaurant

This is review about the food, ITS AWFUL! Jerk chicken was all shriveled up and dried out $14.00 gets you 2 legs and a tigh cut in half the bar looks like fun though won't eat here again. read more

Stopped in on a whim. Got the chicken curry "mini meal." Good flavor, especially with the beans and rice. But what really impressed me is the amount of food I got fir the $5 "mini meal"....I could have paid $10 bucks for this and probably thought it was still a fair price. However, the place was empty and kind of in disarray...dirty tables etc. Anyway, I liked this place for the food quality, price and the authenticity. read more

Finally tried this place after being tempted by the smells walking by. Food is amazing! I'm adding this to the permanent lunch rotation. It's a hidden gem! read more

So we tried this place for my daughter in laws birthday. I started to turn around at the door. Boy am I glad I didn't. This was the best ox tails , rice and red beans and Cabbage I've had since I was on the Island!!!! It's a must try! read more

Literally terrible. I was handed a jerk chicken and a veggie pattie literally in a plastic bag. That's entree and sides both, stuffed in a plastic bag. And I was accused of dropping them because they were In such condition. I literally paid cash for something I did not receive these people have stolen from me they are thieves read more

This place has great relaxation vibes and very friendly staff. Also everything is clean. The food is good and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a chill spot downtown. read more

I've lived downtown for 5 years now. Whenever a new restaurant pops up I'm always first in line. I LOVE carribean/west indie food. Unfortunately, I was very let down by this restaurant. I went with two other friends who were just as eager as I to try the food here. The establishment looks very nice on the inside. I will at least say that! The staff is very nice as well. However, the minute we started placing orders the common response that was told to us is "we don't have that." That to me meant that wow the food was so delicious that people were just ordering so much of it that they ran out... Not the case. When we finally were able to pick something that was actually in the restaurant, we waited about 15-20 minutes for the food to come out. No problem... we could at least just enjoy our drinks while we waited. Wrong again, both my friends found bugs in their drinks. I'm not sure if it was because they kept the doors open in an attempt to lure people in. But they lured small fly looking bugs as well. When the food finally made it to our table it was no where close to being hot. Which was ironic because the wait took forever and the place wasn't packed at all. As a matter of fact there were two women sitting next to us that sent their food back for being cold as well. I would never bash a company. This is not what I'm here to do. I am here to be honest in hopes that someone of authority take notice to this review in order to make positive changes. I will give this place another try but they definitely have to get it together. read more

Been waiting for Jamaican spot to open up. Wonderful staff very personable and welcoming ! Great food options and such a good feeling to come in read more

Be careful... they will try to over charge you for mediocre Jamaican food. There is a sever who will try to up-sell you any way possible. Food is mediocre at best. You can get more for your money at Mark's, Golden Crust or any other Jamaican restaurant. The Jamaican beef patties are store bought and frozen. read more

We've dined take out from this establishment multiple times without any complaints. Today we ordered from door dash and the food was burnt / over cooked. We ordered the jerk wings and 2 chicken patties. We received 1 out of the 2 patties and the chicken was dry & over cooked. Long story short I will no be ordering from here again. read more

I was walking down Orange Avenue on my way to yet another slice of crappy pizza when it happened!!! I was overcome by the intoxicating smells of the islands, the smells permeated my very being and as I turned to look into the place that where the incredible smells were coming from, A voice called out to me "Hello. Welcome" in a warm and friendly Jamaican voice and I immediately turned and entered this warm inviting place. The friendly voice belonged to Orin I found out as he introduced himself and handed me a menu. By this point, I was almost overwhelmed by the amazing and wonderful smells that were all around me. This place is amazing and amazingly good. A little oasis in the cold and commercial heart of Orlando. I ordered the Jerk Chicken and it was the real deal, strong but kind to the palate, warming my whole body from the inside out. Great real food , great hospitality and all this at a great price. Thanks Orin I will be back. read more

This is such a great mom and pop gem in the downtown area. Went to Jam-Eng with my family during Christmas Eve and I loved how warm and welcoming everyone was there! The curry was absolutely delicious. They threw in some Yorkshire pudding on the house because my sisters boyfriend is welsh and said he missed it. Everything we had to eat was nicely done, we will definitely be returning soon! read more

Excellent beef patties. The nice guy at the register gave me a cupcake for my birthday. Will be back!

THE BEST! Hospitality amazing, good food, great environment. Will be a regular spot. Thanks for a great experience!

Amazing customer service! And great food! Me and my friend tried this place for the first time. The atmosphere is chill and the food makes it a great time. Definitely check them out! read more
