This is my first time here it was absolutely delicious I had the Monday special curry chicken, only $11, and it comes with peas and rice vegetables two beautiful plantain and festival bread ask for extra gravy on your rice if you like it moist like I do. Don’t forget the Scotch Bonnet pepper sauce.

Rock on island breeze!

Three of us went on a Saturday evening. Menu on wall is clearly laid out, and we ordered on a touch-screen. No alcohol, but an assortment of interesting soft drinks, e.g., ginger beer. Main dishes with two sides start at $17. We ordered Brown Stew Chicken ($17) and Curried Goat (2 for $22 each) on the touch screen, which was easy to navigate and pay, unlike some I've experienced. Food was ready pretty quickly. The staff opened each styrofoam box for us to inspect and offered hot sauce in bottles. Large portions! Steamed vegetables were tasty and the carrot strips were crispy. Fried plantains were as good as I've had. Lots of flavor for both the chicken and goat. The atmosphere is nothing to speak of, just tables in a plain room, but if you're just there for the food, that's all you need. I'll be back!

I loved the food and the quick, thoughtful service!

Today was my first time trying Jamaican cuisine, and I'm honestly saddened that it took me so long!

I ordered Oxtail with Festival + Yam, and it was amazing. The dish was packed with flavor and truly seemed to be cooked with love—it felt just like home-cooked food. There’s something comforting about a saucy, well-seasoned meal paired with delicious bread (the Festival) that reminds me of a dish made by your best friend's mom.

My order was prepared quickly, and before I left with my to-go meal, I was shown my dish to ensure everything was correct—a thoughtful touch, especially since many restaurants tend to get orders wrong often.

I also love that you can customize your meal. It was great to choose my sides instead of being limited to a preset option.

I can’t wait to return and try more dishes! This local mom-and-pop restaurant may not have flashy lights outside, but it’s clear that people recognize this hidden gem.

10/10

The oxtails were pretty good, but they forgot one of my orders (festival appetizer). Double check your food before you leave. Also, $28 for a plate is pretty steep.

I can't rave enough about this place. My wife was in tears having her oxtails. Since her mom has passed on we haven't been able to find anything close enough to that level of home cooking. This place was delicious and filling. We spent a lot but you don't have to. We just wanted leftovers for the next day. We warmed them up the next day and it was just as delicious as before. We had the oxtail plate with vegetables and rice and beans, the jerk chicken with plantains and the sweet bread, a bowl of the stewed chicken, an extra order of plantains, and 2 curry chicken meat pies. I was big backed and didn't care! Plus the service was fantastic. I was a little worried with such good service that the flavors wouldn't be on point but nope they just are 5 stars ALL the way around!

The service was great. It's a little on the pricey side compared to other Jamaican restaurants but food itself is high right now! The jerk chicke is good and I like that they give you half a chicken but it would have been better if the chicken was cut versus me having to cut it. I know people love extra gravy with oxtail but it was too much for me personally and we didnt get alot of oxtail for $23. It's a nice place and inside was clean and food is decent. Especially since its hard to find good places to eat in the IE
