I had the jerk chicken pasta. The pasta sauce was honestly the only good thing. The penne noodles were slightly overcooked. The chicken tasted like processed chicken which I didn’t like however it was seasoned well.

Lovely authentic Jamaican restaurant with reasonable prices for full balanced meals. Red Snapper and Oxtail are a rare treat in DC and you can get both here.

Customer service in regards to communication is great, however… I ordered a Jerk Chicken lunch special, I didn’t look in di container before I left but if I had I would have canceled di bloodclaat order. Twas more bone den anyting. Literally 2 ½ bites of chicken… di rice & peas waa great. Di beef patty felt & tasted old which made no sense being that it waa 11am in di mawning! And di cabbage was cold & very sweet. I left a tip before even knowing dis was what to expect.

I was looking for a great Jamaican spot and stumbled on this gem. The food was 10 out of 10, I had the rice and peas, cabbage and curry chicken. The owner was delightful and all around good vibes. I plan on going back when I’m in town, definitely recommend!

The services were great but the food sucks, of all the Jamaican food I’ve ever had, the food was terrible, it didn’t even taste like Authentic Jamaican food, it was like they were just trying to make it like Jamaican but they couldn’t and I’m Jamaican so I know how it’s suppose to taste but not everyone who cooks actually knows what they are doing, This place has disgraced the culture of Jamaica

Lunch special Price is excellent! But the jerk chicken I received was so overcooked and hard like beef jerky. This was definitely not cooked fresh today. This place is in my neighborhood and was hoping it would be good.
