“My family loves Jamaican food and have visited the Island twice now. We made a 90 minute road trip just to try this restaurant out, and it did not disappoint! The food was wonderful and authentic! When we told the staff we were celebrating a birthday they created a smoothie on the house to celebrate! I would return for the customer service alone! We so enjoyed our meal!“

“On the Northwest outskirts of Cincinnati, in a humble strip-mall, sits an unassuming little joint, but inside, they're serving up some delicious Caribbean food.Missing my old Caribbean joint from my neck of the woods, owned by some lovely Dominicans (Que lo que! They moved back home or something...) I made the trek all the way up to Ohio, and boy am I glad I did, cause these guys hit the spot!The lady at the counter was nice and patiently waited on me, as I hopelessly scoured the menu for Guisado, but it's a Jamaican owned place, so no luck. However, they had Patties, so definitely got one; l also ordered some Jerk Chicken, and Oxtails with rice, and Plantains on the side.Now, I wasn't expecting fast food, but these folks are quick! She told me ten minutes, and I got my food in, like, eight!I got my order to go, and hastily left for home.On my drive back, I noshed on the Patty, and man, was it good. Warm and crispy, flaky, golden crust, flavored of beef suet , with piping hot, spicy, beef filling. It was excellent!I saw they also snuck me some Cornbread, and I just had to nibble that too. Now, my momma makes some gooood Cornbread- the savory, crumbly kind, made with lard and perfect for soup or soup-beans, so I wanted to taste how theirs compared. It was delicious- soft and moist and sweet- just the opposite of my mamma's, but good all the same; there was even a hint of sweet spices (maybe Nutmeg) giving it that extra special kick!When I got home, I tucked into the Jerk Chicken, which was amazing- grilled or barbecued with that tangy, spicy Jerk marinade- so yummy! The Oxtails were great too, every bit as tasty as the stews I had gotten at my old Caribbean place, and I loved the rice with that Oxtail gravy. Even the Plantains were the best I've ever had.To sum up: Exceptional Jamaican Caribbean food that's definitely gonna satisfy your Caribbean cravings!“
