I have been coming to this place for over year and it’s still my favorite spot to go to. From the food, to the service, it’s a true Jamaican experience.

The food is really good with nice sized portions for the price.Needs better lighting inside and a wall menu. Also the staff could be a lil more friendly and professional.

The food is great, and the guy in the front is always nice but there is a lady that ALWAYS has an attitude . I understand you feel questions are stupid but it’s not ok to be rude to the people that are paying especially when I don’t have an attitude. Learn customer service and be like the guy in the front please and thank you.

Real stick attitude from the older lady that works there! Her damn attitude each time is an embarrassing to your establishment as Jamaicans. Why is she placed in front to deal with customers if her attitude is not professional. Her ass gets an attitude everytime for no reason. No smile, look on her face is with annoyance. I told myself I would NEVER eat there or spend my hard earned $$$ ever again but my son really loves the jerk lunch meal and I gave him and took him there from knowing how she deal with people in general. I honestly thought maybe someone else would be there to just quickly serve us and she wouldn't. Behold another person was there serving a guy which I was glad for just so my son can get something quickly to eat and there she was coming from the back. Pure disappointment to be honest to deal with her sore attitude and face this early morning. I told my son to quickly ask for what he want which was now just fried dumplings because lunch was not ready. He told her can he have 3 dumplings while pointing and she started picking up the spoon with the counter to serve him ackie... I said NO that's not what he wanted. She then quickly with attitude put the pan down and said "well what do you want" asking my 16 year old. He then said dumplings. I jumped in and said he wants fried dumplings while pointing. I had to walk away to the register and went to quickly pay before the Godliness cones out of my character. Please Please ya'll need to give this lady a course in CUSTOMER SERVICE because she's not learning nothing from her bad behavior towards customers that continue to keep ya'll in business. I will NOT reward bad behavior with my $$$ and recommendation to others. I have been working in Hotel Hospitality for 26 years and when you KNOW BETTER YOU DO BETTER! Shame of ya'll owners of this restaurant. Fix your attitude and niceness lady!

This is not my first time getting food from here. The food is very good. It will always surprise me how the workers behind the counter seem to be bothered by my presence in their establishment. Each time I have approached the counter with a smile and "Hello." I get asked "Whatcha want?" I think I got a nod this last visit. This will never be an acceptable start to successful customer service. Fabulous food. Nice spot. Too bad the servers don't seem happy to be there.

Amazing Jamaican food. Service is always friendly and caring. I got here at least 2-3 times a month. Also come on Friday or Saturday and try the Rasta pasta! It's delicious!
Great food, terrible, rude & cantankerous attitude from one lady in particular. When I can come into your place of business to spend my money, say hello and you role your eyes and not respond at all, as if I called you out of your name & cursed you and the god of your fathers, that's a major freaking problem. I hate that I won't be able patronize this place with really good food any more. Black people! Do better!

Great location for delicious Jamaican food. Try to order ahead as certain dishes (soup or the fried chicken) are sold out quickly for the evening.

I totally get if people that live iin this area being in the heart of Plainfield nj love this place but great Jamaican food i have tasted and once you taste good jamaican food your taste buds become spoiled i ordered 3 times and ask for extra sauce and it was dry the seasoning is low but the customer service is crazy they act like you are taking up their tme. Newark and new york has the best Jamaican food. This is my taste buds talking not me!?
