It also has a mini mart though their prices are a bit higher than at the store.They didn’t have vegetarian patties — they might have them because they had the label but not when I went.The cashier was kinda rude (she might have been just “efficient” but came across rude and dry).

Ehh....not going to finish. More people in Texas need the actually travel outside of just New Orleans, Miami, & Vegas. This is NOT good Jamaica food. I guess if you've never been to the Caribbean, you would think this is great. And why are the plantains looking like pork rinds versus actual sliced plantains? (#old)

Sweet Guyanese style food, nice service. I loved the chicken curry and dall puri. I will definitely come back for more. I recommend the place. God bless you.

This is maybe my 5th or 6th time eating hereI always get the Oxtail plate with spinach and as I’m eating my leftovers I’m noticing little bits of hair all throughout my food. I’m completely disgusted thought I could trust this place and now will NEVER be back. Truly disgusting. This is not a fake or trying to be ugly. Please don’t request this plate if you do go I’ve found 4 pieces of hair so far.

Welcoming and friendly place. Food is very good. Spices, sauces and a variety of things from the islands to buy as well. Give them a try!

The atmosphere was the closest thing to home for me. The food was more of a Guyanese than Jamaican but still prepared well.

Honestly, very disappointed. I had high hopes because of the good reviews but the food was just disappointing. The beef patties were good tho

Order from Uber eats! Oxtail platter, I enjoyed it… loved the Oxtails were good but not overly salty or seasoned. Flavor profile was nice. Rice was rice and cabbage was cabbage both were fine but I ordered for the oxtails and wasn’t disappointed! I was worried I’d get some ridiculous small portion because it was delivery lol but I was pleasantly pleased ☺️ will definitely order again when I’m ready for more oxtails!And got a Beef patty but hadn’t ate it yet but appearance it’s a nice size! Hoping it isn’t to spicy like most when I eat it lolThank you

Love this place! I always order through Uber eats and the portion sizes are good, they aren’t stingy with the oxtails, and they actually look at order notes. I requested more cabbage and less rice and they gave it to me I was pleasantly surprised. I will always order from here!

The food was tasty! My Cabbage was a little cold, but I ate it. I ordered the curry chicken which was the Tuesday special - but not if you want white meat. One of the most expensive dishes on the menu is oxtails and I was told by my lunch crew that they were very good. Set the expectation that you won't get an abundance of oxtails in the serving. If you want quantity get chicken dishes not oxtails. It's a reggae atmosphere and gives you the island feeling. If you've been to Jamaica, you will know exactly what I mean. Enjoy the island music while you taste the island cuisine. The owner (I think) was friendly, took our orders/payments and insisted on bringing our food to the table, which was a nice touch. Did I mention, they sell authentic Caribbean foods/ dry foods/Juice/soda/meat patties, teas, cakes etc. One Love!
