By far the best mall food i’ve had.Ive only been here a few times, but the flavors here and wonderful and the cooking brings the feeling of authenticity one might expect at a friends house. The rasta pasta with jerk chicken was flavorful, with a perfect amount of spice and creamy texture. I have also had baked chicken with rice and beans among a few other things, all of which I have thoroughly enjoyed. Their smoothies are great also!Prices are reasonable. Yes, its more expensive than some other places like the Chinese food next door, but the quality and flavor here is on a different level.The staff here are super nice and were happy to give me recommendations when I asked. If you are in the mall, without question get your food here!

I’m not from around and I was not familiar with the mall, but I saw the Guyanese flag and decided to stop over. I was greeted by a friendly gentleman, who told me about the specials. I decided to go with Rasta Pasta & Oxtail. It’s sooooo good!!! Pasta was spicy but not overpowering and the oxtail was a good portion and the meat was tender.My only suggestion would be to get different containers so that we can throw leftovers in the microwave. However it’s not a complaint ? I don’t live in this state but when I’m back, I will definitely check it out and recommend to others!

We weren’t sure we’d find any vegetarian options in the cafeteria so we were happily surprised to see the menu. Got chickpeas, daal and a smoothie with dragon fruit- all really good!! Super impressed for a mall cafeteria option and a nice introduction to Guyanan cuisine

Friendly service and good food!

Tried the curry bowl yesterday & it had so much flavor. I will be going back!

I was ordering Chinese food at the stand next to this place they had a customer constantly go over to customers including me trying to poach them to this restaurant by saying negative things about the stand they were ordering food from. I asked him to have this one customer to stop doing that they refused rudely I will not eat at a restaurant that tries to be Shady

Delicious food and the lemonade was incredible!!!
