“Let me just start by saying the food tastes amazing!!! ? Authentic carribbean and soul food at best. The portion size is great for the price. I couldn't finish my plate in one sitting. It's a little hole in the wall spot. I appreciated seeing the little bit of seating that was there just in case you wanted to eat inside.The only downfall I didn't appreciate was the debt and credit card fee. I used my debt card, including putting in my pin, and it increased my bill to use my card. It was my first time there. I guess it's the price of being a customer these days.If you go, definitely bring cash. I will be back because the food is definitely worth it ??“

“The last time I tasted Jollof rice of the caliber made here was in a local spot in Lagos, Nigeria where it is made in iron pots and cooked with firewood. I don't know how they did it, but it beats every jollof rice I have had in the US so far. I ordered it with chicken for my birthday party and it was a hit. Everyone wanted to take some rice to go after the party.The chef is also the kindest and most personable individual you would ever meet. She added extra portions and a little something on the side to commemorate my birthday and helped me drop off the food too. She has a customer for life.Thank you for the top notch food and over-the-top service experience.“

“I live in Pennsylvania, but my friends ordered from here and now I'll drive all the way back, 80+ miles one way just to get this food. I've had so many different kinds, but this is the best place I've ever had food from. Obviously, we didn't try everything, but they're so super nice and the dumplings with that sauce omgosh can I please buy that in a bottle?Never usually liked those sauces, but it's banging!!!! I'd put that up against any other sauce. Super sweet and the soup damn I'm so hungry. Overall everything we ordered was the best we've ever had. We're nj and ny born and raised, but this place is legit. You will thank everyone who mentioned it. Best place ever, thank you so much for giving us our new spot. Even though it's that far away. I love your food and how nice and sweet everyone is. More than 5 stars best food and service! Not sure about the atmosphere, but the food is so good it doesn't even matter to me tbh. Thank you Ed and Michele.“

The food was worth the wait though. Got the yard fowl pepper chicken and it was delicious and tender. The lemonade was fresh. The owner was kind enough to give a bottle complementary for the longer wait. Thank you for that! I would come back and order again from the store.“

“For starters, let me just state that this was my first time ever eating African food. I had okra, white rice, and debie. This eatery was highly recommended by a friend, and it was delicious. However, the person cooking was really unpleasant when I returned alone one day, and I nearly decided not to return even though I was really craving it. I returned to give it one last try, and I'm glad I did because I visit this place nearly every week. The individual I interacted with during this interaction was really kind and supportive. I haven't tried anything else on the menu, but the white rice and okra combination is AMAZING. The best part is that there is a lot of food and it is quite reasonably priced.“

There is no Jamaican restaurant within close proximity to where I live, so I’m happy they deliver in my area.“
