I ordered brown stew… The rice and cabbage was not seasoned. The chicken wasn’t good and it was more bones than meat. I paid $27.00 and did not enjoy

Jerk wings were dry as leather. Flavor was flat, hardly any spice. The plantains weren't bad. The peas and rice had an ok flavor. The rice was so overcooked it was mush. The beef patty was ok, but I ate it first and was very hungry so I may be biased. I'm very grateful I didn't waste anymore money on this restaurant. I really cannot recommend this place.

4 stars because although It was good,it wasn't quite the traditional jamaican i am use to. The service was above and beyond amazing. It is actually safe to park there. I ordered jerk chicken with steam veggies. Although I loved the veggies, they are not the traditional cabbage and carrots that I am use to. The jerk chicken was tender, and boy did they give me a lot of chicken but I paid for it too lol. The meal is quite pricey and I wanted more spice to the chicken lol (And yes I know jerk is not that spicy in Jamaica but I personally like the spicy jerk lol). Good juice. I will be back to taste other items.Parking: Parking lot behind the store can be full but street parking is not great. Again, it is safe to park there!

I slept on this place for too long! BEST JAMAICAN FOOD in the Bay Area. I'm very picky about mine too. FAST service! I was in and outPrice wasn't too bad. For this small plate of oxtail it was $20You won't find a place this good in Oakland. The other ones are Lowsy. Also the restaurant inside is very nice.

Devoted Jamaican chef - oxtail always amazing, with plantain and rice. Enough to share with my partner. Parking easy behind the restaurant. Would love to have Jamaican music - just a thought to consider to increase the cultural atmosphere , which always feels welcoming and clean.Parking: Easy and a couple dozen spots behind restaurant - never full.

Sweet Fingers is the real deal; we picked up catering for the band at a Holiday Party last week and couldn't have been more satisfied. Great and accurate planning ahead with Roxanne, Joel and Chef Clive on point with the pick up and the food was absolutely delicious. It's like taking a trip to the Caribbean with your taste buds. Can't wait to be back to try the rest of the menu.Parking: plenty of safe parking, both in the lot behind the restaurant and on the street in front. This was a concern of mine going in because I had a truckload of band gear that I didn't want to leave for any amount of time really. Visible spot right in the front of the restaurant made my pickup a breeze.

The atmosphere is great and restaurant is very clean. The bar tender and server speak to everyone coming in and are friendly. I had the curry snapper and it was delicious with a nice amount vegetables. Unfortunately they sold us day old peas and rice that was very dry and hard textured. They even served me a burned plantain. Had the peas and rice been fresh it would've been top tier. I did let the server know and she was quick to see if better was available. The 2nd batch was better. Not the best but better.

Delicious! We always order the oxtail, jerk wings, beef Patties and plaintain. The oxtails have a lot of flavor, and include an ample amount of stew. Like every oxtail dish I’ve ever ordered from any restaurant, I wish there was more meat. Took one star off for that. The jerk wings are tasty with the jerk sauce; cooked till tender and moist. Plantains are also great. Patties are worth ordering too.One time our order was incorrect and the restaurant was so great about fixing it. When my husband went to pick up the item missing from our order they gave him a free dessert.I’ve only enjoyed this via delivery service so I can’t speak to the ambiance of the restaurant.
Delicious Jamaican food!
