Good Saturday Vibe for some Caribbean food. On Saturday, make sure you arrive around 1pm for the oxtails?

Big thanks to Mrs. Ann Marie for some of the best curry chicken, jerk chicken, and cabbage that I’ve eaten in my life! Can’t wait to get to try some stew chicken, roti, and bread pudding! Blessings on blessings to you until we see you again.

Best food we had in New Orleans by far! Amazing family owned restaurant. Miss Ann Marie came out to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our food. Great hospitality and the best curry chicken and jerk chicken we’ve ever had.

The food is good. The price to portion ratio could be better. Customer service is just ok. It's a mom and pop place that definitely has forgotten that they want new and repeat customers. I enjoyed my food but I definitely felt some type of way being in this establishment it wasn't unwelcome but not welcomed either it was weird.

I did not ask for bbq sauce on my jerk chicken. The peas and rice were overly seasoned, and too spicy. That was without the curry chicken gravy i requested. This is nothing like a true Jamaican dish. This is the most awful West Indian food I've ever tasted.

I placed an order over the phone, and I asked for a substitution with the cabbage, I don’t eat cabbage. They told me I cannot substitute the cabbage at all. When I got there this young girl with blue hair had an attitude and said they never did substitutions. I feel like that’s not right because it’s my mom and if I want something else on the menu, why I cannot get it if I’m paying for it? I’m literally being forced to pay for something I do not want, and that’s not right. I got the jerk chick plate with the rice and peas/ and the cabbage I spent $19 to basically just eat two pieces of chicken and a little bit of rice. So on top of attitude, bad service, getting forced to pay for something I don’t want, the portion was really really small and over priced. I’ve gone to so many ignore Jamaican restaurants, and I’ve paid $15 for a plate where they fill it up so much until they could no longer fill it up with so much chicken and sides. But two pieces of chicken for $19 is wild. This was my first and last time at this restaurant. I ate it and I was still hungry. The part that upset me the most though, was that I don’t eat cabbage, I wanted something else but they didn’t allow, that I had to pay for it. Never again. I

The food at the place is really good. But the customer service is awful. I would call in a order sometime when I leave work there is a girl that was sometimes take the order, but she is very rude and unprofessional and access. If she really doesn’t want to be at work, I have actually called in the order. Her attitude was so rude. I told her don’t worry about it, other than the customer service, the food is awesome

They’re listed as a Jamaican restaurant however their jerk shrimp isn’t any different from fried shrimp. I have no intention of dining there again.

I highly recommend the curry chicken & the crawfish fettuccine pasta. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough pasta in the container for almost $20 the serving is very light but it's delicious.

I have been to this place lots of times. Everytime I go I usually just get the jerk wings because im not big on trying different foods.This time I got the wings and curry chicken. The wing was on point as usual. The curry chicken was also delicious.
