I’ve had Jamaican food many times and expected more but this food was mediocre. It wasn’t very flavorful. I paid $13.99 for curry chicken which is pretty high to me but then the price of food has risen astronomically over the last few years.

There’s nothing bad on the menu! There’s an energy/presence inside this little spot that’s more than their amazing, AUTHENTIC foods & it draws you in; I didn’t want to leave even when I was done eating! I can’t wait to go back for the goat curry!

This was my first time in here. Super cool spot for a quick lunch. Really good food. I got the oxtail. Came stacked on a pile of rice with some beans in it. The gravy with the ox tail was absolutely delicious. Fine eating! But it’s kinda a rough spot and if you’re unfamiliar with downtown Jackson it may not be the place for you. But damn was it good

They always say “All we have is jerk chicken left” like it’s bad or something the jerk chicken IS THE BEST & THE WAY TO GO! Food portion size is pretty hefty I usually share a plate with my daughter. I just wished the place was bigger and they had more sides…

I really loved going here wall I got the jerk chicken the chicken was ok I think I might have ordered the wrong thing wall the rice and the gravy were also good I feel that they have excellent service and quality of food but the flavors where not entirely there I loved the experience and I will return and get something different I Highly recommend and love the service I was very comfortable and felt very welcomed

I purchased the Curry Goat & cabbage. Overall it was really good and if you like spicy food, this would be a nice choice! I paid $19.39 for this plate only, which is a bit expensive to me. The employee/owner were Very nonchalant, but not everyone is talkative. I would come back to visit though.
