Purchased the large jerk chicken w/peas & rice and a large Ox tail w/peas & rice (both came with cabbage on the side). The large has enough food for two people no joke. Both dishes were very well made and delicious. Found a new go to 🇯🇲 spot. Prices are fair especially for the amount of food given. Staff was pleasant and friendly...idk maybe it was because of the 🇹🇹 accent 😅. Will definitely be back..... A lot. UPDATE: Sadly the owner passed away and the establishment is no longer open for business.

Second time stopping by. The food is very flavourful. If you like Jamaican food this place is great. For example, chicken patties have nice texture and are seasoned just right. Oxtail is falling off the bone...yum!!!

I've ordered from this place many times and they never disappoint. Kingfish oxtails rice plantains and Mac and cheese are all top notch. Love it

It's been a couple of years since I first visited & I thought it was just okay. Are they under new management? New chefs? Second time around was delicious! Small mild jerk chicken, rice and peas and spicy jerk sauce on the side. The interior was big and clean! My first time there was before they renovated.

The owner/chef passed away.

There is a sign on their door saying "temporarily closed". Does anyone know why?
