Very nice people i just had their curry goat and loved it always clean environment and respectful customers service....

This was the worst Caribbean food I’ve had this year! We ordered three different entrées in all three of them were horrible! the rice, in the rice & peas was still raw, the red snapper was tough, dry, which means the fish was old! the cabbage was chewy & had no taste whatsoever. we had chicken roti and the roti shell taste like leather! The oxtails were burnt, and All of the chicken was stringy! I can see if it was one entrees, but all of them! I would never order from them again & my Jamaican ancestors are turning over in their graves!

Don't waste your time, they'll give you old food for a ridiculous astronomical price. Won't ever go back there again. They use to be really good but since the pandemic it hasn't been worth it at all.

OMG PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE......ME AND MY MAN WALKED IN TO SEE THIS MAN BEHIND THE GLASS WHERE HE SERVES YOU THE FOOD WITH HIS MASK DOWN COUGHING UM REALLY WE LOOKED AT EACH OTHER LIKE REALLY HE JUST COUGHED ON THE FOOD HE DID NOT TURN HIS BACK TO COUGH AWAY FROM THE FOOD BUT ON THE FOOD NEEDLESS TO SAY WE LEFT THE RESTAURANT PEOPLE ALL OF WHAT'S GOING AROUND IN THE WORLD NO WAY PLEASE FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE TO EAT CARIBBEAN FOOD FOR YOUR SAFETY THANKS

Feelin' for some Island Cuisine...? Look no more. Right in Riverdale, this quaint restaurant to accommodates with hot-table ready dishes. My friend truly enjoyed their jerk chicken meal with rice and peas, plantain and cabbage. Yum, yum!

So I was having a taste for some Jamaican food and decided to give this place a try because I seen that not a lot of people have been and wanted to support a black business. This is not my usual place to order but this one time I tried will be my last. I ordered the large curry goat and a jerk chicken patty. The cabbage was hard and tasteless. The rice was dry and tasteless, the plantains were mushy, and I literally almost had no goat. The curry was obviously made with store bought curry powder as well, it was not authentic… I had to scavenge my plate for slithers of goat meat because it was all bones. It was as if they gave me last night’s leftovers from the bottom of the pot…Absolutely no meat. I am very disappointed. The jerk chicken patty had a burnt taste and was mushy on the inside like it was refried beans or something. $23 down the drain… I would not recommend this place.

The best way to explain this place for me would be "7 hour old leftover pizza you forgot to refrigerate." Deep down you know its safe to eat, but science and your mind tells you its bad to enjoy. You cook it up and eat it anyways. Its still good as "expected".At the time they prepared my vegan dish (Sweet and sour sei), I could not help but notice the fact that they placed all of the serving spoons in one container of water, perhaps to keep the spoons clean. Now, I don't make a big deal out of issues like this, but I'm vegan so I don't eat meat or want any milk, butter etc. in my food. And it seemed like the same spoons being used to pick up the other items were being put in that same pot. Maybe they cleaned it before they placed it in the water? Maybe they did not.All I know is that I do not want to think about it. Taste of the food is good. Cabbage was sus though. The establishment needs Ramsey but the people here are not awful.

Ordered through uber eats BIGGEST MISTAKE #!!I WOULDNT GEEDCTHIS FOOD TO A DOG!!PLANTAINS LOOKED OVERRIPE AND NOT COOKED.THE REST OF FOOD WAS JUST AS HORRIBLE.NEVER AGAIN.

When I was in town two years ago, I had good food and good service. Last night, I went in, owner spoke, and I stood there 8 MINUTES as he made someone elses order. Another customer walks in, he speaks. Afterwards the 1st thing I ask for he said they were out. I said what do you have so I can make my choice. He said I THINK WE ARE OUT OF EVERYTHING. I said seriously! You couldnt have told me that when I walked in here! The other customer said so you dont have xyz, he goes to the back..comes back and says no we are out. Common sense tells you that customers are there to order food so if you are out of everything, that is what you should right after speaking versus having people stand there. That was the most inconsiderate F your time and the fact most things will be closing soon. For that personally I will NEVER return. For the rest of you..you might want to ask before you go in and just stand there.
