This is NOT authentic Jamaican food to say the least. I have to say, without a doubt, this is the worst experience I’ve ever had with a restaurant that claims to serve Jamaican food. First, the large oxtail portion was a very small portion with only 5 pieces. The oxtail itself was poor quality. It was not tender & flaky at all.. Instead, it was gummy & soggy. The flavour was terrible as well, because of the “gravy” (not oxtail gravy) that drowned the meat. The rice was dry & bland.. the rice was not authentic rice & peas AT ALL. Second, the jerk chicken was soft, not moist, not tender.. soft, & so soft it tasted raw. The "jerk flavour" was not authentic jerk flavour either. The chicken skin was burnt to a CRISP. The coleslaw was a disgrace as well. It was sour/watery to the point of it burning my tongue. Anyone who is saying that they’re confused on how others are leaving bad reviews, & think that this food is amazing has clearly never tried authentic Jamaican food. If you are Jamaican & enjoy the food from this restaurant.. you’ve been fed with lies (litterally) by eating non authentic Jamaican food your entire life. I will never order this from this restaurant again. You couldn’t pay me to eat here.

Ordered off skip the dishes. Never ate here before but like to give all businesses a try. Ordered bbq chicken and rice and peas and a stew chicken with rice and peas. The stew chicken was ok. Not the greatest. Have had better with more chicken and lower price. The bbq chicken was terrible. The taste was good but the chicken was tough! As if it had been fried a long time ago or fried again. 3 small pieces of bbq chicken in a small order and one piece had no bbq sauce at all! The coleslaw was a few shreds of cabbage which was disappointing if you look forward to the coleslaw. I had asked for oxtail gravy on the rice which they gave a fair amount which was nice however it had no taste it lacked salt for sure! We ordered 2 drinks one was a sorrel ginger and instead we got mango juice. Over all we would not order here again :(

No authentic Jamaican food, I ordered jerk chicken dinner, huge amount of rice and litte chicken and coslaw. gravy wasn't tasty at all and I have to pay extra to get more coslaw. I don't recommend this place if you really want to eat Jamaican food.

I seen the good reviews and failed to read the bad ones, definitely not Jamaican food. Rice dry, and I didn’t get much gravy so I couldnt even finish the food. Only good thing was the coleslaw and I could still make better at home. So disappointed.

The jerk chicken with rice n’ peas (and coleslaw) was delectable. Meat was rich and fell of the bone, the rice was moist and the coleslaw crunchy and sweet. Gravy was excellent. Started with the small, price was reasonable, and my only regret is that I didn’t get the large…it was so good I want more of it in my life. Would recommend.

Amazing food and service! We bought one order of jerk chicken and immediately returned to the store to buy another to bring home for dinner later on haha. Very reasonable prices and conveniently there are two sizes to choose from for each dish. Can't wait to return and try the Sunday special.

Jerk chicken is very flavourful and tastes amazing. But rice and peas were bland, did not have any flavour. Coleslaw was okay but very soupy and runny. Not the best and not the worst place I’ve been to. Jerk chicken is the only thing to come for!
