  AMAZING FOOD. gluten free items were clearly marked on the menu and the man working was so pleasant to talk to. Jerk chicken and the mango limeade 10/10. Best food I had my whole trip!

  Yaa know, walked in. No one was at the counter. Waited 15 minutes and sat around. Eventually a young lady helped out a gentleman waiting at the counter. I got up and stood behind him, she served him, he left... She turned her back to me and proceeded to ignore me. I was there to pickup an order from to good to go for my brother. Asked the lady if the order was ready. She responded that the kitchen was backed up and would be 45 minutes. Waiting is never an issue. Let's make that clear. But blatantly being rude along with ignoring your customers is just special. Even if you are busy you can always say "Ill be right with ya!" Or "Hello thanks for coming in, ill be just a minute!" Canceled my brothers order just because I wasn't going to deal with the lady again. Bought him some cheap Mexican food on the way home. Its a shame cause we use the app to try out new food ideas to places we want to go.

  Vegan Options are top tier. Jerk tofu, chickpea &tofu curry with a side of plantain was the best! I will always come back. The whole place is a vibe!

  First off, wow. Secondly, I’m gonna apologize to the people here because I ordered a whole lot of food about an hour before they closed and I feel so bad for that, but boy was it worth it. I’m from NYC, and one of my all time favorite snacks is the spicy beef patties with coco bread. (Unfortunately they don’t seem to have coco bread, unless I somehow missed it entirely on the menu.) point is, I’ve had a lot of Jamaican food and snacks available to me during my youth and it’s been upwards of 15 years since the last time I had any. I did some research, found this place, immediately ordered about $100 worth of food, and lemme tell you I WILL BE COMING BACK. The jerk chicken is immaculate, it has that family gathering cookout taste that’s filled with love and it gave me an emotion I forgot I had. Beef patties are great, the Mac is great, and the juice they offer is fantastic. I’m so glad I discovered this place, and so glad I live right next to it.

  I heard about this place through a work partner. I was excited to try. I drove 40mins from south phoenix. The service was quick, knowledgeable, and helpful. Took food back home it stayed hot o the drive back. Rice was soft and fluffy not soggy or undercooked. Oxtail was tender fall off the bone. Had a different flavor almost smoked or grilled but delicious, cabbage was tender not over cooked. Meat pie made fresh not to greasy. Large servings with left overs and price reasonable. I will definitely make the trip again.
