I love this restaurant!! The food is very delicious in fact I catered my office party for 60ppl recently and the food was piping hott and well seasoned. I normally visit weekly to get my peanut porridge, fish patty and dumplings. The entire team are very warm and kind. The Chef really knows how to stick with the Jamaican Traditions of seasoning and putting the right amount of Spice to each dish!! Thanks for serving our neighborhood in Harlem.

The food here is GREAT!! I LOVE the sweet chili salmon, and when they're out of that, the sweet chili fried chicken is my second favorite. The mac & cheese side is so good too. The service is friendly, but I cannot speak on the ambiance because I have only ever done takeout. Definitely a very casual spot, though. I have gotten food from here tons of times, and it is consistently excellent. Highly recommend.

My goodness! I just stumbled upon this place. I was walking by, saw the name and took a swing! I'm vegetarian, so I got candy yams, collard greens, and spinach rice. Boom! My mouth tingled and I thought I was back in Jamaica! Delicious flavor for real!!! They have all the Caribbean chicken, fish, and other things you could want!!Then I got the pineapple ginger punch! So good..The ambiance celebrates the USA and Jamaica. Simple and cool with some amazing Jamaican music!!! Loved it!!! Go now!!! Limited eat in seats..

Had a craving for some fish and this place sure did satisfy my craving hahah. Two piece of fried fish with some peppers came out to $6. That's a steal. I really came here because online said they had escovitch fish but they actually don't.

Very good food and exceptional customer service! The oxtails were good but the sauce was too similar to BBQ. Also, they were a bit tougher than id hoped. But i still enjoyed them. The jerk chicken fried rice is AMAZING! I'll definitely go back. My wife had the curried chicken and it was off the chain!!! And the staff was so incredibly nice!

I think this place has the best oxtails in New York. The environment and energy are great. While the staff could smile a bit more, the food is outstanding. If you're looking for Caribbean cuisine, this is a must-visit spot in Harlem.
