Just got to Canton three hours ago from PA and quickly searched for JA restaurants! Found Mrs. Melissa and her lovely place. From my initial call on phone to make sure she had Oxtails, to leaving out the doors two hours later, she was wonderful. I thought I was back home chilling and talking with one of my Aunties, while eating my belly full. I got curry goat and curry chicken with rice and peas and mac n cheese and my daughter got Oxtails. The food was absolutely delicious 😋. The goat melted in my mouth and the bone nice and chewy! Thank you Mrs. Melissa for the warmth and hospitality and making me feel like family! Will come back when we have games over the next few months🥰🥰

Fully vegan

Diners overwhelmingly call out the signature dish as the must-order. The vibe reads as vegan restaurant — service is consistently described as warm and unhurried. Common gotcha: queues form at peak times — go early or late.

First time costumers, definitely not last! Melissa greeted us immediately upon arrival while she tended to other customers. She was very warm and welcoming! She explained each dish and gave us samples of them all. A few regular customers came in bragging about her and the food. 10/10 recommend!

My boyfriend and I stopped in because we were in the area and were treated to some of the most outstanding food and service we have received in a long time! The woman behind the counter couldn't have been nicer and explained all the dishes in great detail. She even let us sample some. Everything was 10/10 quality. The food was amazing. Great place highly recommended
