    The food was okay but not really Jamaican style. You can make it at home yourself if you want that taste. The sweet tea is to die for , taste so good. Also the coco bread didn’t really have any flavor like a coco bread should. Employees were patient and the food was out fast.

    OMG!!! I heard about this restaurant, I decided to take a mommy’s break! I was off work and the kids were in school! I just wanted a peace of mind. The staff was beautiful! The music nice and the food was amazing.😉 I cook all the time and do NOT like to eat out period!!! The Food was delicious. I could not eat it All! It was a quiet atmosphere and peaceful. I felt like I was on a cloud. If your having a stressful day and want to relax and unwind just for a minute this is the place!!! Then I went next door to get some relaxing hot tea to put with honey sometimes because I wanted to stay on a aphrodisiac cloud a little while longer.🥰

    Food was delicious and authentic, the service was awesome, and the restaurant is very clean! I never had pumpkin rice with oxtails before, but it had to be the best decision I’ve made thus far. My husband and I will visit again very soon.

    I ordered oxtails and jerk chicken combo. The food had no distinctive flavor or taste of Jamaican cuisine. The chicken was very tough and dry with a hint of flavor, definitely not jerk. The oxtails were old but tender due to sitting all day and reheated from a previous time. I know food. The price was Ridiculous. 18.75$ for 2 and a half oxtails and a thigh of chicken with no jerk flavor whatsoever. Definitely never eating here again. Even the plant tasted old. I’m sorry guys but this was a terrible experience and those of you who say differently is either family and friends or just don’t know quality
