The food here is phenomenal!The jerk chicken is perfectly seasoned, just enough spice with a sort of sweet flavor. The portions are generous. I used to go to the jamican spot in Elsmere, across from the VA hospital, this place beats it by a long shot. Oh I just remembered the cabbage is delicious, full of flavor. Please try this Mom and Pop Jamican spot, you won't be disappointed. I'm originally from Philly and it has Philly spots beat, and that is saying something!

Disgusting counting the meat in the box after dude put the food in there. The woman again pooked her nose in counting the meat saying that it a large. Grandma would give better portions and don't count meat piecesWell that is a small in my opinion as we ordered large. The woman then fried overripe plantain, not even to drain the oil off yuck, yuck, and sold it. My partner he vomited and became sick overnight night. He said if was cooked he wouldn't have vomited. The woman never even apologised about the nasty soggy plantain she put in the box she only wanted the sale and she knew it was disgusting well. Would you serve your own child that?? I imagine so cause she made a stupid sentence on it saying this is what we have. I wanted to take it back instantly, but my partner is not the man to complain about food. She should have said I don't have any plantain than to force selling the excessively over ripped plantain, then fried it without care like she feeding pigs terriblyNot everyone can cook and follow a basic recipe and even fry plantain to a palatable standard.Much less sell ppl good portioned size meat. It seems to be a major complaint in this make shift place as other ppl left their reviews. We have not brought food there since my partner narrowly escaped a hospital admission. AND WE WON'T. My system is stronger than his but I still felt I narrowly escaped hospital myself. People I suggest you all don't buy here if you choose not to be sick and end up with diarrhoea or a hospital visit. I felt bad about my partner being sick. Terrible, terrible. Do not try to justify this experience and review. How can you justify selling oilly overripe soggy plantain and a member of the public got sick. People who do not know jamaican dishes will perhaps rate it as the best but the news is that it's NOT. This is the first place we have been that count even the rice grains and are stingy with the meat. Who wants 3.9/4 box of rice even the cabbage they are stingy with. We had brought oxtail and it was just an overall regrettable experience. If you do not know Jamaican food you probably would rate them 5 stars but they are not in our opinions

I ordered 2 oxtail dinners at $17 a piece. One dinner only came with 3 oxtail and the other one came with 5. The food quality is subpar. And the service is the same. I was very disappointed.

So thanks to fellow yelpers I was drawn to this restaurant and I happen to absolutely adore oxtail was on my menu to cook last week I just ran out of time as it is a time consuming meal to prepare. I ordered towards the end of their evening and I was happy to know that they still had some left I was working nearby so popped in for a to-go order and I'm so so glad that I did. I meant a lovely woman I'm assuming she's the owner we briefly spoke of Jamaica and she let me know that they've got a great Saturday breakfast as well can't wait to try that so back to the oxtail cooked wonderfully if you like oxtail I highly recommend this dish nice and flavorful if you like it spicy add some Scotch bonnet before you leave or eat in!!! I happen to travel with hot sauce so I was set but trying it without the hot sauce it still had a great simmer of flavor built in it the rice was wonderfully flaky and full of flavor also I loved how she did the beans in the rice. Almost definitely be back next time I'm in town.

I called and made a order at around 6:20 pm. I show up 45min later to hear “The chicken is done but it hasn’t been put together, sorry there’s no more cabbage..” after saying that I’m here to pick up. WHY wasn’t my two platters put together when there was still cabbage left? WHY wasn’t it ready when I came to pick up? Incredibly unprofessional. I have never been angrier..

The small-sized plates were surprisingly generous, and the rice and cabbage were excellent. I appreciated the chopped jerk chicken, which made it effortless to savor every bite. The sauce was bursting with flavor, yet pleasantly mild in spice level.

I got two different dishes the jerk chicken for my bf and the brown stew chicken. Both were super flavorful and so good! The cabbage though is a 10000000 out of 10 honestly it was so good!! Definitely give this place a try !!
