Authentic Jamaican food! My bf and I visited and met Chef Nev on a Friday evening. Entering the restaurant felt like walking into your mom's house and smelling home cooked food. We ordered the curry goat and oxtails with rice and peas and greens. Everything was fresh, tender and well seasoned with fresh herbs and spices. Now, the rice and peas and oxtails have a kick, so if you're not a fan of spice, you may want to try something different. Overall a great experience and we will be returning.

Jerk chicken magnificent and a I had some curry red snapper he had just made that was great. The best Caribbean food I have ever had out side of Jamaica.

Off rip, this place smacks. Been hearing about this place for a while now, saw them blow up on TikTok/IG a while ago. Finally got to try them out. Im hyped to say, this will be my Caribbean food spot now for good. Wife and I Both ordered the same thing, large jerk chicken dinner, and a beef patty. She got cabbage and plantains, I got greens and plantains. A. The chicken was on point. I appreciate that they're actually hot. A bit too spicy for wifey, but for me it was ON POINT. The spice rub under the sauce is the realness. Chicken was hella juicy, hella tender. B. Rice and beans is in fact, rice, and beans. Not overcooked, good chew, flavorful, I smashed all of mine. C. Greens/cabbage, I'd prefer the greens, I like my greens salty, these were perfect, not cooked to oblivion either. The cabbage was smacking too, just on the sweet side, wifey approved. D. THE. PLANTAINS. I know, I know, they aren't dessert, but I always treat them like dessert. Perfectly caramelized, sweet, and chewy. I'm 100% going to get these as a side some day and eat them with a scoop of ice cream. I will report back with my findings after I do so. E. Beef patty was a standard beef patty. Good, would make an easy lunch. Overall, go eat here. If you made it this far into this review, you either are the owner of the place, or really weird. Nice to meet you either way.

If you're looking for the real deal Caribbean cuisine then you come to the right place. Much love and respect by the owner and the feeling felt like Jamaica for real. The ox tail will bring you back every week like I do.

We'd been looking for a quality Jamaican spot for almost a year, and this has been our favorite thus far. We came in for lunch during the week, and the place was pretty full. The menu appears to be updated daily and is available on the wall. We placed our order at the counter and it was ready to go within 10/15 min. Chef Nev shared info on food/drinks. We ordered jerk chicken and oxtail plates. Both came with a good portion side of rice & peas and greens. It should be noted that the jerk chicken was a little spicier than some of the others I've tried before, so if you don't enjoy spicy maybe try something else. We also ordered 3 fresh juices (sour sop, ginger, pineapple/ginger). The pineapple ginger was my favorite! But really all three were delicious. The location has plenty of parking and space inside. We definitely enjoyed the music while we dined. If you're looking for quality Jamaican food, be sure to give this place a try!

I was happy to see a Caribbean restaurant where I didn't have to drive too far to find! So glad I found this little gem! The food was fresh, the owner was friendly and authentic would be the key word of choice! When you feel like you've stumbled into a place that takes you to the home of the chef, it's a win!

Got Jerk Chicken delivered. It was pretty good. Very flavorful. Be warned this is SPICY but not overwhelming but "has a kick." It does come with rice or your choice of rice and beans mixed as well as another side such as mixed vegetables (I think these were from frozen, hence the minus, I think I bought these exact mixed vege in a grocery store near you), which blunts the heat. Chicken was tender and moist, rice was abundant. Service was quick. Food arrived warm which was anticipated given it is quite a distance from our house.
