Umm, disappointed. I've had Jamaican food my entire life and this isn't it. It's basically Haitian food trying to be Jamaican. The oxtail tasted bland, but tender, the rice was awful, definitely not Jamaican rice. The rum cake was just a pound cake with a myst of surface rum flavoring. The goat was good, but still not Jamaican. The patties at least tasted freshly made, I think everything was freshly made, but the crust was a bit too thick. It's hard to find good Jamaican food in New England, this isn't it either. And too pricy for a dispointing taste. Yes the people are nice but, being nice doesn't add up to a good review all the time. Sadly, won't be back, don't recommend for Jamaican food.

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.

It's like going to someone's house and getting a home cooked meal. And fresh mango squeezed juice without extra sugar. And homemade habanero hot sauce. Creole chicken and jerk oxtail stew to round out the meal. Very delicious.

Got take-out from this place (Chicken Creole and Jerk Pork)..and I have to say this, but it's probably the softest meat I've had in a long time..yumm! The atmosphere of this place isn't fantastic or anything, but it's okay if you are not looking for a fancy dinner. The lady in the kitchen area was also polite and prepped the food in less than 10 mins. Overall, would highly recommend! Edit: try out the rum cake too. Edit 2: this can easily be my favorite eatery in the Upper Valley.
