The first time I ordered pepper steaks with rice and peas . I need staff members to give me more Rice and peas and more meat in the container. The place is very clean outside and inside I am going to have 5/5 stores. The service is an excellent job and the atmosphere is Jamaica vibes.

My family and I made a quick google search for a restaurant in the area, when coming from the park. We wanted authentic food and not fast food. We were very delighted that this food was worth the stop. My kids enjoyed the rice and peas and barbecue chicken. It was flavorful and the chicken was soft and fell off the bone. The serving size was also enough for all of us. We definitely will be back. PS I need to get two smoothies instead of one because my kids couldn’t not get enough!

Good little neighborhood place to get some real “Yaad food” . I had a breakfast platter of Ackee n salt fish, dumpling, yam, and banana…. The portion size was great for the price! I will return when I’m in the area. The owner was nice and helpful. I love supporting fellow Jamaicans ….especially when they get the service aspect right, good experience.

He let me mix the stew chicken and turkey neck with white rice and callaloo. The meat was tender and tasty. Well cooked. But the callaloo was way salty. Less salt, and I would have liked it more. The $8 small plate is a great bargain. Pretty hefty plate of food. Not much seating, but still a cool spot to chill and eat.

My sister in law found this restaurant on Google from Georgia and said I must try it. I came in and placed a special order. The guy (I’m sorry I forgot his name) was very patient taking my large order. He told me to come back in 30 mins so he could make it fresh. We truly enjoyed everything. Red snapper,veggies,fried chicken,curry shrimp, shrimp lo mien and rice and peas. I will be returning, thank you!

  • Uzoma

The shrimp lomein is SO good. So addicting. The customer service is top tier. Everyone there is really nice and the cook is very cool and funny. The lomein is made to order so call ahead. It’s $15 i think but the plate is HUGE and filled to the brim so I shared with my 2 sisters and we were all full. Thank you!!

Working in the neighborhood today. Saw the reviews and ratings. So made this todays stop. WOW WHAT A GREAT CHOICE! Mr. Morgan was awesome and his chicken was amazing. Tried the jerk chicken, curry chicken, and chicken in brown gravy. Comes with rice and peas and salad. Awesome portions and even better service from Mr Morgan! Must stop here again! Thank you!

  • Melanie Jnbaptiste-Narcisse

Got the shrimp pasta and the turkey necks and pineapple ginger juice. You can order ahead but the wait isn’t too bad for made to order dishes (like pasta, lo mein and fried rice). Portions are substantial and the food tastes really good. The service is a highlight. Trisha really takes care of you. 10/10 recommend.

  • Debbie D

First time going to this spot! I got the oxtail plate with rice and peas, steam veg, and Mac and cheese. I also got a small red snapper soup. Everything was flavorful and well seasoned. The person working the front was pleasant and welcoming. I will definitely go back. Try it out!!

  • JM Tejeda

Delicious! I got the curry chicken with rice and some salad for $8. Good level of spiciness. The lady behind the counter was super nice. Would definitely come back if I’m in the area again.
