Stopped here on Saturday for some Jamaican food to go. Immediately was welcomed and had amazing…read moreservice. Thankfully, I went a few hours after they opened so they were fully stocked with patties. I ordered one of each - curry chicken, spinach, veggie, and beef. I placed an order for a large oxtail dinner, large jerk chicken, and medium brown stew chicken meal. Each meal comes with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. I also asked for extra gravy on the rice. I waited for about 10 minutes and received my hefty order. My dad had the oxtails, and said he wish he had more oxtails in the dinner as there was only 4 or 5. However they were on the larger size in comparison to other Jamaican spots. My mom loved the spice on the Jerk chicken as did I. It had that kick you expect and needed. My brown stew chicken was very good. The chicken was tender and the browning sauce was really good especially with the rice and peas. We did all say we wish there was more peas within the rice. The patties were fresh and I had both the spinach and curry chicken. The curry had a kick and was very savory. It made me want to order their curry chicken meal the next time I stop in. Also, did I mention they give you ALOT of food, so you will have plenty of leftovers.

Good service, they were able to tell me what they were out of when we walked in. I was excited that…read morethere were so many veggie options. I got brown stew tofu with steamed cabbage, rice and peas, and plantains. My brother got brown stew chicken with Mac and cheese and rice and peas. I also got passion fruit and ginger juice. We both enjoyed our meals, and I had enough to take home as a snack for later. I liked that the tofu had a sear on it, but did not have a thick coating or anything. This made it a good texture for reheating to eat later. This is a casual spot, I would meet friends here or take food to go.

It was mostly tough, some of it was tender but I'm used to a stew and ox tail is cooked low and slow to make it tender fall off the bone. I would go back and try something else, goat curry looked good with lots of meat.

I hate I don't have better things to say about this spot that we were really excited to try. I will…read moresay that upon arrival, everything seemed to be going fine. The owner greeted us at the door, it was fairly empty so there was no wait and we were seated right away. The ambiance is nice. It does look like you've stepped into the VIP area of a restaurant, so it was cute -- not fancy, but cute. The owner then told us about the restaurant being inspired by his mother, they've been around for 10 years, explained the menu etc., it was nice. He also told us that he hadn't been to Jamaica since a kid and that raised an eyebrow -- but we let it go because he wasn't the cook. MIND YOU, I brought my cousin here (who is Jamaican) after seeing decent reviews about it. He brought over our first round of drinks and they were really good. We really enjoyed them. They weren't strong at all, tasted like juice. So I would recommend just getting juice instead of the +$5 to add rum. As we began to order and look at the menu, the prices were really HIGH, but I guess he was going for upscale cuisine -- so we said OK, let's see what this entails. We all ordered the Taste of the Island plater that gave an oxtail, curry goat and jerk chicken, rice and peas, plaintains and a tiny side salad. I wasn't mad at the portions given, but the flavor didn't hit the mark at all. NOW LETS GET INTO THE FOOD The Jerk Chicken was OVERLY spicy; we couldn't even enjoy the flavor. The oxtails were fatty, sweet and BLACK. Not enjoyable at all. The goat was OK, but not very flavorful in my opinion. The beef patties were good, but probably out of a box. The Roti was good and the oxtail dipping sauce was good. The Honey BBQ Wings were pretty good and cooked well. The Mac'n'Cheese -- DO NOT GET THIS. It literally has NO taste and reminded me of the cup mac'n'cheese that you put the powder cheese in. It took so long to bring it out, I guess he kept forgetting about it (they said everything is made to order) -- which, IDK how you make mac'n'cheese to order. Real cooks know, Mac n cheese is NOT a 5-minute made to order meal. He also didn't ask how we enjoyed the meal -- which I felt like he knew what we knew when he saw that not only did the other table leave a plate full of food (the meats) but our plates resembled the same -- he still collected his coin. There is a 20% gratuity that is added on at the end that is ridiculous considering the prices are already so expensive -- MIND YOU, it is not "Elevate Cuisine", its basic Jamaican dishes on Ikea plates. No special plating, no unique sauces or display, no chef's plating or anything. Just a plate of food. Everyone's bill came in over $100. The table nearby us order the same thing and inquired whether or not we liked our food, but we'd just gotten our food and hadn't tried it yet -- we did warn them about the chicken being spicy, but not everything else. They came after us and left before us and left everything on the plate except the rice and peas. I love black owned businesses and I wish this much more success, but I would NOT recommend it to anyone that is looking for authentic Jamaican food.

Overall the food was okay, I would have preferred some more spice in my curry or some pepper sauce on the side. But overall it had some flavor. The chicken was tender and fell off the bone. They do not serve everything on the menu every day so I recommend calling ahead or checking the daily menu online. I believe there are some updated photos of the menu on the yelp page. It's a small hole in the wall restaurant. There is one table in the restaurant so I would plan on picking up your food to take home. All of the food is pre made and served from a chafing dish. So it is still very hot. Service was pretty typical of a Jamaican restaurant. Straight forward and to the point. Not a lot of fluff in the conversation. I got my food quickly and was on my way. This is a cash only establishment and there is no ATM on site so come prepared.

From the moment we walked in, we could smell the deliciousness cooking in the back, and the long line of people verified we had made the right choice coming here.

Set up is cafeteria-style where you pick your options, and they serve your food, packaged for takeout. Everything comes with rice, veggies, and the option of plantains. We all got oxtails which were so flavorful, even my skeptical husband loved it! Mango meatballs, jerk chicken, jerk pork were all fantastic, as were the sides of rice, veggies, and cabbage.
