DO NOT order from this place or believe the positive reviews. They must be fake. No reasonable person would do repeat business with this place. I called them about picking up 2 jerk chickens dinners. They advised me I could get 2 dinners of 8-"jumbo" jerk wings each, with 3 sides for roughly $19 each, for a total of $41. I actually received less than 4 regular sized jerk wings, cut in halves, and side orders that amounted to barely one serving. The 2 "dinners" were barely enough food for 1 person. The premises looks impoverished. I felt scammed as if they make their money cheating unsuspecting new customers on pick up orders. I dont mind spending money on a good meal, but I essentially received a snack and were lied to about the alarmingly small amount of food they give customers. Ironically, the food tuned out to be terrible. It took 2 days to flush it out of my system for my stomach to recover. It caused me nausea. My guess is that they use some sort of unique spicy jerk seasoning on chicken to make it seem like authentic jerk. It ruined me fot 2 days so, in retrospect, I am glad they gave me such exceptionally small potions.. When I called them to politely explain the problem they were very kind but didnt appear surprised and merely said "sorry" as if they get this feedback all the time. I cant imagine someone else going through the experience. My recovery was grueling after eating their food and I am in great physical condition. AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

This Jamaican place is so easy to miss. The atmosphere doesn't sink in until you have sat and given yourself some time to just slow down and have a good conversation with your loved one. It's peaceful. Cozy and simple white with some sky blues and a cut out of Jamaica on a wall. It very much feel as though I'm seated at a small cut out of what would be a Jamaican outdoor setting. The setting really doesn't reflect the food. Once the food came out it was so flavorful and delicious. Jamaican jerk seasoning and delicious fried plantains. The carrots and cabbage do require the scotch bonnet sauce. But everything was delicious. I like that they do run out of food meaning that they don't buy so much quantity that it sits in a freezer until someone orders it. Everything that came out was very fresh and flavorful.
