I've been going here for years..mostly because they're the only place that sells decent West Indian food in the area. I suspect the business has survived because of a lack of competition. I've never had a bad food experience with them and have no issueswith the quality of the food. My chief issue is that they do not offer online ordering. The location is in a very busy part ofNew Brunswick so parking is always a problem. They went to a cash-only model, which is really antiquated. Thank goodness there'sa bank right across the street. A lot of the negative reviews about in-person customer service, parking and wait times can besolved by allowing people to order using Uber Eats, DoorDash, etc. P...

I visited this place for the first time in about 2 years. They have definitely fallen off. I ordered a large order of oxtails and was disappointed to find only 4 oxtails in my order. Mind. you, a large order on the menu costs 14 dollars, however, I wascharged 24 dollars and told that the menu prices haven't been updated. Being a Brooklyn, NY native, Jamaican cuisine isplentiful but not in New Jersey. No competition leaves us at their mercy. The food was more sweet than anything else. Not agood look.
Love this little Caribbean shop in the college strip by Rutgers which is riddled with cheap college student aimed food everywhere and that's where this place shines. Delicious Jamaica proud authentic dishes served here and it is delicious!!! I'vebeen coming here for about 6 years and they are what you expect from a Caribbean restaurant. Very friendly staff and I havenever had even a mediocre dish. A few competing places nearby but this one is the best in the area. Probably in Middlesex!
Delicious Food. The food is usually very good, but the staff can be somewhat unwelcoming at times. Depending on your visit, you may experience a wait to place your order, so I suggest calling ahead! The process for in-person orders and pickups could definitely use some enhancement. There are a few staff members who are incredibly kind and polite; I wish all of them had the same attitude!

Even ordering over phone then driving 20min to pick up food I wait usually another 15-20 min. The young lady is pleasant to look at, yet she consistently ignores customers as she chats or check phone. Been there 3 times since January and waiting for foodto be cooked is the norm. The food is tasty, yet only extra ordinary... not extraordinary. Sorry.
chicken patty is gross! staff is rude don?t know if they coming or going only cash how they?re still in business is beyond me. I should?ve known better; the first time I came was five years ago; I thought I couldn't go wrong with a chicken patty; well, hereI am, giving 1 star is too much!
I absolutely love her cooking. It's incredibly authentic and utterly delicious. As someone in the military who's traveled all over the world, I can confidently say that this place ranks at the top of my list for Caribbean cuisine perfection.
Absolutely delightful! I enjoyed the oxtails, and I was just around the corner at the Rutgers bookstore. I can't wait to return. The owner mentioned they've been in business for 15 years, and I can totally see why! Book a table now
Delicious Jamaican cuisine... truly fulfilling. This is one of the top spots in the neighborhood. The ambiance is pleasant. I understand why this place receives such high praise.
The food was excellent, and the portions are generous for the price. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to my family and friends.
