Lovely and Cozy Establishment with the potential to be ONE OF THE BEST ISLAND FOOD RESTAURANTS IN TOWN!!! Hands Down Food: Top Tier and prepared with LOVE!! Service: You gotta expect at least a 20 to 30 minute wait time, yet is well worth the wait BELIEVE ME!! Ambience: This place has the potential to be the leader in island cuisine and thats coming from me with years of experience in kitchens in the low country. Its a growing Establishment that with a little TLC could hit the mark HEAD ON WITH A STELLAR 5 Diamonds. I will be returning and I will be spreading the word about the Diamond in the heart of downtown Aikem SC........SIMPLY

Veggie plate
Melencia J.

Just yum! I stopped in for lunch during the soft opening week. They are still working on a few things. The chef welcomed us in and told us a bit about the menu and the restaurant. She explained that everything is made to order and it would take about 15 minutes for our meal. I ordered a veggie plate which had black beans, cabbage slaw, steamed cabbage, side salad, sweet potatoes and plantain. We sat on the porch (outside in the front) to eat. When our food was delivered we smelled the goodness, then we saw the goodness. Then we tasted the goodness. It was so delicious! Everything was well seasoned and the lime dressing on the salad was so refreshing. We ate every bit that was on our plates. The chef spoke with us again as we were leaving and told us to let her know if we had suggestions for the restaurant. This place was so welcoming! I'm so glad to have another vegetarian friendly lunch option in Aiken!

If you love goat curry and oxtails this place is awesome!!…read moreSome of the best Jamaican food I've had and I've had a lot in my time. The spice level is perfect the gravy is delicious the Coco bread and the meat patty are excellent. Make sure you order in advance they are very busy and at times run out of meat patty and Coco bread later in the day. Also the serving size is very nice the regular plate is quite heavy bursting at the seams with food oh so delicious!!! Thank you Nettie

This is a great hole in the wall spot in Granitevile. I opened the door and was welcomed by a man…read morewith a Caribbean accent and good smelling food scents. I scanned the chalk board menu and didn't see a veggie curry, but after I mentioned I was vegetarian he said all I'd have to do is call ahead and he would fix me a proper vegetable plate. For this visit though, I got a sides plate with rice and peas, plantains, cabbage and a side of roti skin. Everything was hot and delicious. The rice was firm, the plantains were ripe, and the cabbage was well seasoned. I drizzled a little hot sauce on my cabbage and rice for a little spice and it set off the flavors perfectly. They also have American wings and hot dogs on the menu. The restaurant has a walk up counter with seating for about 4 - 6 people inside. There is also a small table outside. I will definitely return to try a vegetable curry after calling ahead to order. I'm so glad we have more ethnically diverse restaurants popping up in Aiken County.
