Let me start by saying the food does not disappoint at this restaurant. The rice & Peas taste like authentic Jamaican cuisine like when in Montego Bay, Jamaica. I'm vegan so I can't vouch for any meat dishes with curry or jerk, but the chickpea curry is quite tasty and is coconut milk based. You can order it spicy upon request which adds the best flavor in my opinion. I can eat the spinach patties all day. They are delicious. The cabbage and greens are okay. I've referred others to order at a conference in Charlotte and they loved the curry and Jerk chicken.I've only ordered via doordash, but I'm a frequent shopper. The only thing I dislike is that often I have to remove meat pieces from my rice which is annoying ? since I'm vegan but I am conscious of it when I order now. I understand sometimes meat pieces might fall in when scooping up other dishes by it so I'm not extremely concerned since I know it wasn't cooked with meat.I would highly recommend this restaurant.Vegetarian options: You can order veggie patties, rice & Peas, greens, cabbage, chickpea curry.

I ordered on Uber eats and the food is authentic and delicious. I’ve been living in Charlotte for 3 years and this is the best Jamaican food I can find. Real old school cooking, I loved it.

You can’t make someone wait for 25 minutes to pick up a delivery order after telling them it’ll be ready in 8. Wasted almost half an hour my time after being lied to.

It’s nothing to do with the food. It’s authentic and delicious but your customer service reps are not so great. I order delivery often from your place and it seems every other order there’s something missing out of the order or the instructions which were clear never followed. Today I received food and had a beef patty thrown on top of my ackee abd saltfish. Which really confused me bc I do not eat beef patties. Mr. Francis please make your staff know they should be just as serious as you are about your establishment. Bc with out us there is no you. Bless Up YUHSEF

The oxtails are consistently good. They give a generous portion for the price. I would definitely recommend.

I love Jamaican food and stopped eating it because alot of the places I've been to in Charlotte have turned commercial, so I just stopped eating at places until I had this food at a baby shower and promised I would come to the shop and when I say the food is amazing, I feel like I'm back in NY eating Jamaican food that is truly authentic. Thank you so much!!

Super salty food Jesus ??♂️. I ordered two plates. The dish in the picture is mine. Even the second healthy vegetarian dish for my mother was salty as well. Plus the rice & beans was not cook at all. And I mean very hard to chew! If you are an individual that’s been diagnose with high blood pressure or sugar. Pls! Don’t buy food there it’s way too salty. Plus no flavor. Salt doesn’t means flavor. Just go to Lakou restaurant. There their foods are fantastic and tasty?????
