What our guests are saying

Amazing jerk chicken with rice and peas and plantain. Loved the oxtail gravy on top of the rice. Best Caribbean food on the island and fast and friendly service. Been here multiple times and they NEVER disappoint. Great price point too! Go for the lunch special, you won’t regret it.

Never in my life have I been to a restaurant with more friendly and inviting employees. The food is delicious. The ox tail literally melts in your mouth like butter. I cannot recommend enough.
