The owner was sooooo sweet and the portions are huge which sucks because I didn't want to eat anymore. The taste was lacking so much. I will never return. The prices are way too high for the food to be so bland. I am from the Caribbean and took someone here to tell them they would love Haitian food. They had oxtail and said the portion size was awesome but no flavor whatsoever. The rice was also very dry. The pickliz did not taste fresh at all, in fact it tasted almost spoiled. Maybe I caught em on a bad day but spent $50 on two meals that we did not finish bc the flavor was lacking so bad. The portions are ok, mostly just a pan of rice but give them a try for yourself! You may enjoy it.

As far as meal goes this Haitian restaurant does indeed know how to cook. They're kind people who enjoy a friendly conversation with their customers. I'm an introvert myself, so I mostly listened, then went home to eat the meal. I'm writing this review after a eating about 1/3 of the plate. I'm on budget, but think that I can squeeze two more meals from the large potion that I was served. Great blend of spices in the rice and beans and the sauce. Please show them some love if you can. Think with your stomach.

If you're looking for real, authentic Jamaican food that hits your soul, this is the spot. Every…read moretime I walk in, the smell alone lets you know you're about to eat GOOD. The jerk chicken is perfectly seasoned -- spicy, smoky, and packed with flavor without being overwhelming. The oxtail is fall-off-the-bone tender, rich, and cooked down just right. And the rice and peas? Always fresh, fluffy, and full of that authentic island taste. You can tell the food is made with love and tradition. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the staff treats you like family. It's not just a meal -- it's an experience. This place never disappoints. If you haven't tried it yet, you're missing out.

I was passing through Springfield and craving Jamaican food. Ordered everything to go for my…read morefamily. Food: ackee and saltfish with fried dumplings, oxtail, curry chicken, jerk chicken, orange chicken and fried chicken. All were delicious but the jerk chicken was the only disappointment and I'm not sure why- it was flavorful seasoned and tender but it didn't quite hit like "jerk chicken". It was good but I wouldn't quite call it jerk chicken like I remember. The picky eater LOVED the fried chicken so that is a wonderful option for the less adventurous. Service: I kept getting text updates with what my family wanted so as they came in I added each one. They all came with plantain and the woman mentioned in a VERY calm and considerate way that it would be more helpful if I let her know ahead of time if there were going to be more because she made the plantain fresh for each one. Ambiance: I got take out but while I was there some folks were eating and they looked very happy with their food and service. Clean, casual, quiet and well lit. Eating in is definitely a reasonable option. Overall- I definitely recommend.

All in all it's not bad deeming you get the chicken but also a side choice of only white rice or rice and peas (they also do I believe a salad of some sort but unsure what was used to make it) and if I have a small gripe to me personally I just wish they had more chicken than what I got (the photo will show this) but I do sense that they have the Jamaican cuisine down pat & just hope if you get a meal towards the 4PM bit portion aspects may be high ( myself I in a way wonder was the time when I ordered in the lunch aspects). Well least you know.
