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!

Meals were cooked to perfection. We ordered take out''delivery'' rice & peas, curry chicken, curry goat, dumplings, salad, king fish, red snapper. All cooked to perfection. Great service, staff professional, respectful. The best. Last Christmas & Easter I did not have to spend hours in my kitchen cooking. Thank you!

Fantastic food for takeout. My husband & I went today & it was freshly made & generous portions. He had a goat & oxtail plate with fried dumplings & I had a chicken roti & patties. All topnotch. He is saving his goat roti for later. Love this small takeout place!

I saw this on TikTok & I decided to try it. I went there for supper at about 6 o'clock or so & the rooms are true. It is a long way they do tell you in advance that it's gonna be about 10 minutes. I'd say it's probably closer about 15 or 20 minutes give or take, but it also depends on if your friends with whoever is serving because they tend serve their friends first Also people say that you can call in advance to make it faster, but there was a guy there with me who called in advance & he was still waiting their amount of time to I got like a simple plate just a jerk chicken, small plate & yeah, I would say 20 minutes no pre-order. Anyways onto the food the food was decent. It's not something that I would go out of my way for her but for the area & like if you're passing by & you want some Caribbean food then I would say that it's decent. The jerk chicken had a lot of flavor. The chicken was moist. The rice & peas were good. You got one dumpling & one fried plantain for a small plate. It's a pretty decent sized portion. I like the service was slow, but like the guy at the window was really nice. Interesting little hidden gem of Roxboro.
