Curry Goat, rice and beans, and cabbage was exceptional good. I’ve partake in Jamaican food all over the country during my travels and this meal is a must try! Great customer service!

I’m Barbadian majority of the best Jamaican spots are in New York so eventually I decided to stop by. Best family owned one I’ve come access. I’ve met the grandmother, daughter, son granddaughter and been on the phone with the wife of the son. Love these people I always tell them “ I’ll be back” never lied yet!!!!

Delicious food. Ordered food from here for the first time. Tender oxtail, sweet plantains, jerk and fried chicken seasoned just right. Country style veggies. I want to try their porridge. My husband and I will definitely be regulars here.

Went for the first time today. I get what I usually get at Jamaican spots. Stew chicken/Brown Stew chicken. Got a good-sized portion and it tastes good and fresh. The lady there was very friendly and personable. There's a couple of tables around but this is pretty much a grab-and-go place. There's not a lot of room for parking but pulling up the side street that it's next to would probably work if there's no room in front to park. *Edit* Oh. thank you! And sorry, I thought the space on the side was for the business next door. My apologies. And again, very tasty lunch! Update: 2/7/25 As always, fresh and very tasty! I've been going here for 5 years.
