I waited about an hour and a half for curry goat and oxtail. I would definitely return, it was worth the wait. They have a sign with a disclaimer at the front of the restaurant that says the food is authentic and not fast food, so I was prepared to wait. I also had a spinach patty and beef patty as an appetizer while I waited. Some of the best Jamaican food I have had anywhere in the U.S. There is also a smoothie vendor inside the restaurant with very delicious products. Highly recommend, just wouldn’t take a chance if I were in a big hurry.

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.

The food tasted amazing. Service felt friendly, attentive, truly welcoming. Portions were very generous. Even the smaller plate came loaded with Sweet n spicy chicken, rice. The larger plate was massive, more than enough for one person. Excellent value with great flavor in every bite.

No doubt about it the food tasted good. Portion was good for the price coming from NY perspective. However when you walk in for an order, wait an hour, only to be told that the order was not submitted to the chief after said hour shows an inherent issue. Total food took 1:30 mins. Overall if you have patience food is comparable to food I ate in the past. Prep in advance if you are time constrained(40+ mins).
