Don’t bother going here. I got there at 1pm(opening hours) they were closed and when I called they said the food would be done at 2. So I run a few errands and come at 2, then she said the oxtail would be done at 2:30, I said ok PAID and sat down. I waited till 2:54 and finally went up to the counter only for her to tell me that it would be another 30 minutes!! I asked for a refund and left. She was looking at me the whole time and didn’t even bother to tell me the waiting change.Just don’t go, it’s not worth the frustration.

The food here is phenomenal! I've been hunting for a Caribbean restaurant since I moved from FL & this place takes the crown for best Caribbean in Greensboro. You absolutely will not go wrong ordering anything from their menu.

Finally! Hours & days said to be open, they were closed. Caught it open one day as I was passing by, so I tried to call ahead, they played as if they couldn't hear. Granted it was an hour before closing, they could have just stated that. This time, I literally doubled back to finally check it off the list. Order the jerk chicken, curry potatoes, & beans/rice. You could taste the chicken was grilled, but more or less, the jerk is used as a sauce/covering. The chicken was either overcooked or old. I'm leaning towards old.

Food is good, inconsistently. Service is ok, inconsistently. The biggest issue is this place is never open when it is supposed to be. The food is never ready when it is supposed to be. Too often, I have called or driven by and they are closed. Or, they are taking orders for food that isn't ready... prices are too high and food too inconsistent. How can't you manage to be open and ready when you are scheduled to be... It is extremely unprofessional all yhe way around. I give up trying to support this "business".

Drove an hour and a half from Raleigh on horrid hwy 70 traffic to come here and it was completely worth it. This is the best Trini food anywhere near Raleigh hands down. Definitely call in an order beforehand because they were out of roti when we arrived but we'll be back for it another day.The curry goat and curry shrimp plates were both delicious. Definitely recommend getting the curry potatoes.

I waited 40 minutes for while four people received their order before me. The Jerk chicken was overcooked or was from the day before, and the rice and beans was bland, as well as the cabbage.
