I was out with my lady companion when we saw this place with some solid reviews so we haven’t try. We ordered the curry chicken and jerk chicken and it was DELICIOUS!! I would say I wouldn’t mind the jerk chicken being more spicy but nonetheless amazing. On top of that it’s family owned business and the owner came out to speak with us and she was so sweet. Definitely check it out!!
I have been coming here for almost 1 yr and the food has always been a hit but as lately the food been a miss. I ordered curry goat and when I opened my plate it look like someone had already ate some. Also the curry goat looked like it was from the day before and reheated . I will give them another chance but if it miss again I’m gone for good
Alright, sad to say, the only thing that was decent about our jerk chicken plate was the rice and peas. If you're looking for that SPICE and FLAVOR that authentic Jamaican cuisine is known for especially JERK chicken, look elsewhere and save your money. The chicken skin was not crispy at all and very wet/soggy bc it was drenched in a peculiar Ketchup tasting sauce ...not sure if that was supposed to be jerk or what. Chicken was super bland with no depth of flavor or spice, nothing. It really just tastes like it was grilled/charred straight with no seasonings in it and then topped with some sweet ketchup tasting sauce ?? I LOVE me some cabbage but this cabbage was also under seasoned and didnt taste much like anything, very one note 😖...My husband, who is Jamaican, was thoroughly disappointed with everything and questioned if they even had real Jamaicans in that kitchen. It was our first time ordering here since we're new to the area.. This location is very close to us, but we will look elsewhere and go the distance for real quality Jamaican food 😳
If I could give 10000 stars I would. You can taste the love in this food I had tears in my eyes eating that oxtail. I live in Connecticut and I would make the trip there any time. This place is so clean so peaceful just absolute perfection. Thank you Miss.P and the other wonderful ladies that were working today for you beautiful hospitality and outstanding food and service. I will definitely see you again!!!
I wish I could give a higher rating. This place is superb man! Authentic home style Jamaican cuisine ! What great customer service and the best jerk pit I’ve seen on the East Coast. Update: Feb 12, 2023 This review needs an update guys! I recently stopped in for brunch and spent some time doing some on-the-go work (sending emails etc) and the service was a full scale, top notched dining experience with plated service and real silverware - AT THE SAME PRICE as takeout. While there, there were 2 instances where the owner used the statement “we don’t do that …here” - One as a customer was saying he’s ok with leaving the store without a bag for his food. Another time a customer wanted to eat in and proceeded to dine in from her takeout box. The owner came over and plated the customer’s much and set down her silverware on the table. This was amazing to see and great experience- especially in our Caribbean community. This owner is doing an amazing job at company culture!!!
