Coming from South Florida this place hit the spot. The only time I can get Jamaican and Soul Food worth eating is when I make it here in Denver but this restaurant definitely changed that. I recommend the curry chicken (pictured) or the oxtail stew but all the food is amazing. Generous portions for price IMHO.

Only reason I’m leaving this is because I know they can do better and are worth 5 stars.

Every other Friday I get a half day and rush over her to get lunch at one of my favorite spots in Denver . Their jerk chicken is tender and delicious , their oxtail is fire and their spicy is actually spicy . I tried their red snapper this time and it was delicious. I really enjoy the food here at it reminds me of family meals..

Some of the best food I’ve ever had, will absolutely be returning to try different menu items. Service is also VERY fast. If you’re anywhere near Santa Fe and 8th ave you have to stop by.

10/10! Absolutely loved it. We got the wings and the ribs. Wings were crispy and delicious; the ribs melted in my mouth. And for the first time I had brown rice that I genuinely enjoyed. The rice wasn’t just a bed of carbs for the meat to lay on, it was a flavorful accent that perfectly meshed with the flavors of the meat.

In town visiting and looked this place up. My husband is Jamaican so he would know if food was going to be good… Unfortunately it was Soo gross!!! We ordered and then she rushed out basically since they close at 7 but we were there at 6:00, food came at 6:30! Not complaining about the wait but rushing people out is another thing! Glad we tasted or barley tasted the food before we left! We didn’t want to make a big deal there, so we just left. The vegetables were horrible, my Curry shrimp was not curry shrimp! Seems like some kind of hot sauce was over the shrimp to make it spicy, I can do better than that! My husband had the Goat and it was saturated in goat sauce, and was horrible! We ended up getting a bag and got back to the hotel and threw it out, and went to cheesecake factory! What a waste of $48!! Never again! Hopefully we will try another spot in Denver cuz this was definitely not it!!!!!!!

This is our favorite Jamaican place here in Denver. We highly recommend the jerk chicken, fried chicken, fried sea bass and oxtail. Ordering is super easy. It’s a small restaurant so you can either eat there or get it to go. This is a local business that started in 2013 and the owner is such a sweet lady. Love supporting our local businesses!

I am visiting from out of town and was in the mood for some Jamaican food. I ordered the red snapper with cabbage, to go, and was extremely disappointed with what I got. I have never received cabbage with frozen mixed vegetables in it before. (I know that they were frozen because the man at the restaurant told me they were frozen). I was also grossed out by the restaurant worker who was picking things up from off the floor with the same gloves he was wearing to bring me my food, and possibly prepare the food. 10/10 I do not recommend based on my red snapper order and what I saw when picking up my food.

Went to Jamaica back in February and this place is by far the best representation I have had. Don’t skip on it.
