This is what a dive is supposed to be. A hole in the wall that serves home cooked delectable food. Amazing.

Found this little hidden gem browsing restaurants & this place did not disappoint. I only wished there was levels of spicyness that I could choose for the jerk chicken or if they could provide a hot sauce on the side.

Best to call for pickup as usually there's a waiting time! Will definitely come back when I need my fix for Jamaican food!

Heard about this place from someone & had to come try it, honestly it's really good I would definitely come back, the portions are great & the food is so flavorful.

Update: came back here for another time & the food is STILL so incredible, it's hearty & soulful. Definitely need to try here if you haven't already 10/10

Took a chance on this place. I got a mixed plate of stewed & curried chicken! At first he told me the price $28 I was skeptical but got it anyway! I am glad that I did! This is the biggest takeout plate I've ever had. & its not just rice like other places, there are whole pieces of chicken! Also potatoes, cabbage, bell pepper, & a fried dumpling! I am very very pleased with this order! I will definitely be back!
