My first time here and it was interesting. I like the concept of easy carry out and multiple options for different styles of food in one place. However separate orders for my taste cravings is a bit inconvenient. I was really looking forward to ordering oxtails with Jollof instead of rice and beans but couldn’t plate it together but I get it so I ordered Rasta pasta oxtail and a side Jollof. Being from Brooklyn, my expectations were high for the Rasta pasta, it was giving regular cheesy penne but it did taste good. I look forward to trying other items until I find a go to order since this place is easy to get to. Also go early, Apparently, it’s a popular spot so that may run out of certain meals if you come too late in the day. The rum cake was probably the best part of my order.

I had the oxtail which came hot over hot beans and rice with cold potato salad and cooked cabbage. It was delicious, and the people were very welcoming. Important to note: I’m a visitor, so I only ate here once. This was my first time ever having oxtail, so I have no other comparisons. A previous review complained about how little meat was on the bones. While never having eaten oxtail before, I have seen many raw oxtails, and this dish was no less meat than I expected. I would definitely recommend the restaurant and the oxtail if your looking for good, local food. FYI: It’s carry out only, no dine in, and the food is ready very quickly.

GO HERE~ If you are anywhere in the area make sure you stop by to pick up lunch or dinner! It is that good. Frazer helped us pick a few dishes and they were all amazing! My personal favorite was the Shrimp Escovitch. Seriously you need to give this place a try and tell your friends! Support local businesses!

I’d seen this place on my Uber Eats for a while but never thought to give them a chance b/c I’ve been dissappointed with “new” spots in the past. Today however, I was in the mood for a good rasta pasta and searched in Uber Eats and they came up. Went to Yelp and couldn’t find them which made me nervous but then went to Google and saw the few amazing reviews so I said okay let’s give it a try. My GOD I am so glad I did! The rasta pasta you can add chicken, salmon, oxtails, or a combo of all three and it was soooooooo GOOD! I am so mad I didn’t check them out sooner and they are right on my street. I am def going to make them my new go to and check out the rest of the menu. Give them a try!
