Reviews
We ordered a large plate of curry chicken ($17), large plate of oxtail ($22), and small side of jerk chicken ($12).
We ordered for take out and the second she handed over the boxes, I was shocked at how heavy 3 boxes were. When we got home, I was in awe at the portions! So much food!
The entrees came with the protein choice, side of veggies and red bean rice. Everything was delicious and we had left overs. The chicken curry and oxtail were so tender it fell right off the bones. I used a plastic fork to eat and the meat had no problem. Great price, portion, taste and service.
Customer service with one of the ladies was great! However, another lady interjected for what reason idk and she was pretty blunt and unfriendly with her words and composure.
Would also add and agree that the portion size is amazing!! And if you want to save a few dollars be sure to order directly from the restaurant and not on their website.
Ordered the oxtail small plate which was more than plentiful for one person. This is my first time trying Jamaican food so maybe I’m not the best critic. The meat itself was well seasoned and cooked very tender. My only reservation is that I found the taste to be a little too sweet. Knowing that scotch bonnet peppers are typically used in the traditional recipe, I expected it to be a little spicy, but it wasn’t in the slightest.
The portions alone is enough to make sure you come back !!! The wife and I were extremely happy with the Jerk Chicken and Ox Tail combination plate (rice and peas, plantains and veggies). Rice and peas were spot on, veggies crisp, plantains sweet, jerk Chicken was ok (needed a bit more flavor), Ox Tails were the highlight of the meal…..talk about flavor man this took us back to Kingston !!!
The chicken patty was a tad bit dry (it was in the warmer to long).
The assortment of island beverages was great.
The gentleman working the register was very patient and helpful.
