    We finally made it here after hearing for forever how good it was. It definitely is! The food was so flavorful. Just enough spice to know you've got the real deal, but not so much that it blows your taste buds away! We'll be back.

    This is seriously the best Jamaican food I have ever had. Worth the drive from DFW to here. The service is friendly and personable. The manager is so kind and thoughtful and the food is out of this world. We had the jerk chicken and the redfish. Everything on the plate was delicious! Not even one thing to critique! Also the building is surprisingly beautifully decorated. A great place for any occasion, an affordable date, or just to grab a bite. I would 100% recommend to anyone!

    This spot is a true gem! Authentic Jamaican restaurant with great customer service. The vibe is laid back and the restaurant is very clean. I ordered the curry chicken which came with rice and plantains. I also orderd a slice of cake. The Hibscus tea with ginger drink is amazing, I'd stop in just for that drink! Spiciness of the food is just right and they give really good portions at a decent price. Would definitely eat here again.

    Me and my wife’s first time eating here yesterday. Lovely greeting by the owner and very professional. We ordered the oxtail meal. I would give it a 7 out of 10 it was okay it had no seasoning to me but other than that it was a good size meal. For $30 we got one plate and 2 drinks not bad.
