“When i visited. I was welcome to ask questions about products they sold other than food. (Health & Hollistic) they had a lot of knowledge about the health benefits of certain roots, herbs, and barks, for health & healing. Even everyday produce we use like onion and garlic. They also gave me a sample of black african soap.“
“Excellent OxTails & rice and beans! My 11 year old daughter and I love oxtails and tonight my husband went to get us a small to share, needless to say, he had to go back and get us a large as my daughter ate almost all of the oxtails and most of the rice! Great food!“
“Best Caribbean food in Poughkeepsie. Portion is less than other restaurants in the area but enough to fill your stomach. Savory stew chicken. Freshly cooked fried chicken, curry chicken and goat, oxtail with rice and beans dishes are few among the popular items offered. Best place for a quick bite or pick up your lunch or eat in the restaurant for dinner. Good friendly customer service.Parking: Street parking with paid parking meterKid-friendliness: Kids can get fried chicken or stew chickenWheelchair accessibility: No wheel chair access“
“I have to agree....The food is excellent. The Owner.....Amazing....Beautiful inside and out. The Chef.....One of a kind....definitely in his element. The Staff....very friendly and helpful. I enjoyed every day I spent in the restaurant, not just because the food was wonderful....but I enjoyed each and every person that was there the staff, chef and even the guests were happy and friendly. The food draws you here, but the ambiance will make you want to stay. This should be on the food network.....Don't miss a wonderful treat. Every bite is so full of flavor it is a party in your mouth.“
“No trip to Poughkeepsie is complete without a stop here, in fact, I head here before I go to my hotel. Funny story is I read a review about the staff being rude and there's a running joke about the ruder the staff at a Jamaican restaurant, the better the food. Lol. The staff were not at all rude, but the food has been amazing every time! I center had their j*** chicken, fried chicken, oxtails, curried goat, curried chicken, spicy shrimp, rice and peas, all varieties of patties and they're a hot every time. Been coming here for a year and the flavor and portions that remained consistently good! It's not a sit and dine location, also you either park on the street or in the lot of the grocery store next door. Ps. If you want patties, go early or call ahead first. They sell out fast!“
