Wish that I lived closer - so much to explore on the menu and in the coolers. Ting, yeah that's there and so many other unique drinks. Liked that the menu has a choice on portion size. Rice and peas ? Yes Please! Took my meal out - wished that I had stayed. Tuff Gong and Jaguar 45's on the wall and pictoral tributes to Marley and other Jamacian notables grace the walls. Goat Curry was amazing. Loved the spice /heat and flavors. Saw baked goodies for the next trip. Bottom line - this is a must visit for authentic Jamacian food.

This was my second time eating there food, 1st I did door dash, and second, I walked in to order. The food definitely tasted better when I walked in to order. The place gives true carribean vibes and reminds me of the ones I grew up eating from in nyc (minus the attitude), lol. Their prices are right for the market, and the amount of food is worth the price. They have a wide range of natural juices and many carribean beverages and desserts. Sorry I didn't get to take a picture of my plate. I did get the large jerk pork with rice and peas, and cabbage. Jerk Pork could've been a little more spicy though.

I recently had the pleasure of trying the Jamaican toto from this restaurant, and it instantly took me back to the islands. Moist, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, it struck that beautiful balance between coconut sweetness and rich, home-baked comfort. You can tell it was made with love and tradition—just like something grandma would bake. If you’re looking for a true taste of Jamaica, don’t leave without trying their toto. Absolutely delicious!

The jerk chicken w/ rice and peas was so good. Most places taste like they serve their chicken from the oven, but this tasted like it was fresh off the grill with a charcoal grill taste. So good!! The only con I had, was they didn’t have any beef patties. I’ll definitely be back, so hopefully they’ll have some then. Go get this food now

The oxtail was amazing—perfectly seasoned and full of flavor. The curry was very good, the roti was crispy and delicious, and the Rasta pasta was on point as well. Everything was well prepared and satisfying. I’ll definitely be stopping by again whenever I’m in the area.

This restaurant was ok. I had their Slice king fish and two vegetables patty. The patties was really good. The fish was flavorful but tasted like they warmed it up in the microwave. I would have rather it cold or room temp is I had know they would have put it in the microwave. Other than that. It was kool. They had a lot of things on the menu but I don’t eat flesh so my pickings was slim. Other wise I would recommend this restaurant if you are in the Jersey area.

It's always what's in the inside that counts. It might not look much but the food is really good. I had oxtail rice large entree. It comes with choice of rice, cabbage and plantains. Besides oxtail, they have jerk chicken, curry goat, and other stuff like beef patties. The cabbage was really good which some places can't seem to get right. Oxtails was tender and I wished I asked for more gravy because it was really good.
