The most authentic experience I've had with Jamaican food in Houston to date. We ordered one fried chicken meal and an ox tail meal. Chicken tasted well seasoned and was cut into small manageable sizes. It did not have that overpowering taste of MSG as most other places have. In fact, i can't say for sure if it had any MSG at all! Had curried veggies on the side, and it was such an amazing preparation of veggies, I've not seen that in very many places, but it did not disappoint. The Ox tail was also on-point. I'm not a fan of Ox tail, but tasted, it and was brought back to my childhood years when I used to taste only the gravy when it was cooked at home (i don't liek the texture of the meat), well done. The restaurant seems like an old residence turned commercial. We ate outside on the porch, and it felt a lot like dining in Jamaica. Our very efficient cashier did not miss a beat between taking our order, answering the phone, and serving those who came to pick up their call-in orders. I'm definitely going back. It's about a 30-minute drive, but worth it, in my opinion.
I really enjoyed the atmosphere especially the reggae playing in deh background. Service was great, very warm and welcoming. It was my first time going. I'm from Trinidad so it was nice to have some good authentic food. I had the jerk chicken with cabbage and curry vegetables. It was real good and well seasoned. I tried the jerk chicken egg rolls and they were off that chain. I definitely recommend it I will definitely be back!!!
The food was delicious.The music was great. My only issues not a complaint is the entry, which is made of rocks, which is not shoe friendly if you wear heels or wedges. In addition to a welcome, hello or just a smile from the cashier would have been nice.
Thank you for the food. It was seasoned well. I did have the oxtail dishes and the oxtail cheese steak. It was decent. It didn't fill me up, but I did have the oxtail dish my sister didn't entirely eat to finish. Would I eat here again? Yes. Do I think you're pricey? Yes, but within reason. If people are looking for fine dining, this isn't the spot, but if you're looking for some authentic Jamaican dishes, you've come to the right place. Next time I'm in Houston, I will return.
I went in at the last minute, maybe 10 mins before closing. The customer service was still great (not like most places that get upset when last minute customers come in because they're in a hurry to clock out and go home). Amanda at the front was a pleasure to meet and very kind. I feel like we bonded discussing the food. Lol!!! The food was still fresh and plentiful. I ate from my plate for 2 days. I had the curry chicken which had me lickin my fingers MmKayy!! Even returned 2 days later for another plate. I also tried both lemonades (they were out of the punch so I didnt get to try it). The lemonades were tasty. I love really strong, bold flavors so for my personal taste, it could have been a bit stronger in flavor. And just to establish credibility.. I'm a working Chef in both the corporate and private sector so I know good food and give honest reviews. If you're thinkin about going... stop thinking and just go!!!
