Best food in town. I had curry chicken with rice and peas and it was seasoned perfectly and the meat fell off the bone. The decor is beautiful with a calm relaxing atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to all my family and friends. Perfect for afternoon lunch or a date night. Prices are reasonable and the customer service was excellent.

Was very surprised with how amazing the food tasted. I had the bone-in chicken curry and it had so much flavor, the meat was also very tender. My friend ate the Jerk Chicken boneless with rice and peas, he loved every bite!

This was a suggested eatery and I decided to try it. I'm really glad I did. The food and service was great. I had the brown stew fish and it was delicious. The presentation was also impressive.

This American Jamaican fusion restaurant has a great atmosphere. The menu has Jamaican inspired dishes. I recommend the goat curry since it had the most authentic flavor out of the four I tried. American spice levels with Jamaican seasonings.

Never ever disappoints! Jerk wings, Jam Jam Shrimp and the Bob Marley to quench the thirst. That's why I forgot to take a pic of entree. 😉

This really deserves 4.5 stars. The food was quite good. The server was very friendly and eager to please. I felt very attended to (maybe a little overly so). Would definitely recommend if you are in the area.

Authentic Jamaican food that is flavorful and plentiful. Can be pricey and recent notice of price increases. I, personally, think it was worth it for my callaloo and saltfish! :)

Great food but the wait time to get your food was long. We waited 30 mins to be seated and over an hour for our food. It was friday night after 7 pm. But ijs. Dont expect to get in and out quickly. But the food was excellent .

I eat in this spot a lot since I work in the area. I must say the customer service is always great and they keep the place clean all the time. Rates are convenient and they serve big portions.

Good food but beware.Food was absolutely delicious. It's made to order so be prepared to wait but its absolutely worth it. The downside is the restuarant has a policy that prohibits them from serving a 21yr old alcohol if their license isn't horizontal, needless to say that dampened the happy 21st birthday celebration.

Love, love, love this gem of a restaurant! We stumbled across it while we were staying in the area for one night and now we’re making it an annual stop over because we loved it so much! Great service and absolutely amazing food! Thank you for such a nice experience!

Staff is super friendly! The atmosphere, food and music was great. I will definitely go back on my next visit . The manager even came over to check on us to make sure we were enjoying our meal. If you in the Edgewood area I would recommend you visit them.

Wife and I saw this restaurant next to our hotel and gave it a go. Delicious food, very festive atmosphere. If you come on the weekend, anticipate a short wait for a table but be prepared to have your taste buds dance! Staff is friendly and attentive. Enjoy the experience!

We ordered the Jamaican Patties, Jerk Chicken (bone in for better spice and authenticity), and rum cake for dessert. Everything tasted AMAZING. The chicken fell of the bone so tenderly and had great spice! Also, the red beans and rice side was really great also! Nice coconut flavor, but not over powering.

Most authentic place I've been to for Jamaican food. The atmosphere is always fun and a good time. The food is fresh and the meat and other entrees are well seasoned and tasty. I describe it as some of the best I've had in a while.

Was hoping to try chickpea roti, but it’s a dinner item and I was there at lunchtime. I ended up loving the tilapia/sauce and the rice/beans/cabbage side on the dish. Many photos of that already up. I was making a special request to my family to come here to try something new for my birthday. I’ve eaten Caribbean food before, but it was entirely new for my parents and they usually prefer American/Italian food. The place is clean, warm and inviting. I was relieved that the whole family has a great time and enjoyed the food. Nothing was too spicy for anyone and we enjoyed a couple patties as appetizers. The drinks come in fancy tall glasses. The hibiscus and peach tea were both big hits. I’m looking forward to coming back to try the roti and bring my family with me. Thanks to all the staff for the great service!

The jerk chicken was absolutely phenomenal. I would recommend this place 100%. My server Zachary was helpful in helping me decide and very polite. If you're in the area and looking for amazing food for a great price you can't skip this spot!

At first I was like; no I don’t believe it’s that good from the pictures. Then I started to order online and I pondered over spending 45 dollar for two items. Hunger won so I placed the order. I waited. Arrived for my pick up order on time. And it was waiting on me. (First sign of a good thing) then I smelled great smells as I signed my receipt. (Second sign) then I open the perfectly taped and secured take out boxes with my food STILL in tact (despite my slanging it around in my car) (third sign) BUT WHEN I ATE THE BREAD AND SHRIMP AND SALMON.... every penny I spent was well OVER WELL worth it. If I am ever here again, this is where I’ll be eating.

Braised oxtail...chicken soup...stewed chicken try them all! Won't disappoint! If you want a little entertainment Friday night's are usually busy with a mature crowd. You will wait longer for your food but it will be worth it!

Great level of spice in the jerk chicken. I love the cabbage, too. My son had the chicken curry and liked it. Should have ordered more than the one sweet plantain that came with the lunch portion.

The food was excellent but I deducted one star for service. Plates from customers who left sat around the whole time we were dining there (about an hour). They had many open tables but the lady at the front desk made us wait for a table, then we had to wait for a menu. Our waiter was very nice and attentive! I cannot stress how delicious the food was. The decor was also very nice.

A friend was raving about this place so we just had to try it. It's unassuming from the outside but quite impressive once you were inside the restaurant. The view from our table was quite impressive looking into the lounge. 5-STARS for the decor, service (from our gracious hostess to our excellent server, Diandra ☺),and delicious food. We started with the curry wings and coconut shrimp- next time we'll know to request the curry to be spicier 🌶😅 the honey mustard sauce was very yummy. For entrees, we enjoyed the ever popular bone in jamaican jerk chicken and the house salmon. The spices for both of these dishes were perfect 🤗 we didn't have enough room for dessert, but ordered grandma's rum cake to go😋 We will definitely return to enjoy the Jamaican flavors of this establishment ❤

We've only been here once, but everything was amazing. Our server was helpful and nice and the food was amazing. The menu is a little smaller than we were expecting, but considering that everything is made fresh and from scratch, and none of their food is frozen, it makes more sense. That stress they are not a fast food restaurant because of that. The wait isn't super long, and even if we had waited longer than we did, it was worth it. My boyfriend got the oxtail, which was super tender and flavorful. I ordered the mango salmon. The filet was a good size, and the sauce was really great. Even the rice and beans that comes with both entrees was really really good. I recommend this place highly. Their a little pricey, but again, it's worth it.

The food was very good no question about that. Clean restaurant and relaxing environment. The new bar and lounge was extremely comfortable. My service could have been a little bit better. My server was extremely unattentive. She did not come to check on us or refill our water or ask us if we wanted another drink. My husband had to go and ask the bartender to make us another drink. I would like to point out that they were not extremely busy. That drink that we ordered at the bar never made it to our bill either. Overall the experience was pleasant, we will return hopefully the service will be better.

Great place to eat island cuisine and have a cocktail. The owners and family are really a positive impact in the community and on so many young people. I highly recommend supporting there business.

Staff is super friendly! I'm delighted at the thought of going again another time and trying something else. I had island spice salmon. The crisp edges, but soft, glistening meat won me over. (I watch a lot of cooking shows...)

Questions & Answers

I just went there today and I will say, don't waste your money! The food is very expensive. I paid $20 for oxtails with rice and peas and it was hard, robbery an uncooked! This place is seriously overrated!

No

Hello Erin! We have happy hour Monday-Friday 4pm-7pm. Additional “Late Night” happy hour on Friday & Saturday 7pm-10pm. We’d love to see you there.

You need to call this isn't the place to get that answer

I don't know, they are thinking about expanding though...not sure what locations they're considering....
