"Chill atmosphere, calm cool prompt service, and absolutely delicious foods. I only wish they had sweet plantains as well but the fried ones are authentic and complement the food well if you like that texture. I will be back. Update: I went back and they still have the same awesome friendly service and they had delectable sweet plantains this time. This is my new go to restaurant for awesome carribbean comfort food. No bad attitudes or unnecessarily slow service. The food is impeccable!"

"This place is so good and the menu is priced just right. I usually get shrimp roti but lately I've been wanting oxtail. I was not disappointed. Well portioned and DELICIOUS. I couldn't wait to get back from my monthly Baltimore trip so I could order again. I thought to take a picture AFTER I ate 1/3 of the plate...."

"This food is absolutely AMAZING! We ordered the Jerk Chicken Pasta and added shrimp to two out of three dishes. We asked for spicy and boy is it spicy and DELICIOUS!!! We will be back very soon. The portions are more than enough!!! It was worth my $17.50 a piece."

"Most authentic Jamaican spot I've tried yet. Food is very well presented, fresh, good taste and have the essence of Jamaica. Beef Patties here are very consistent and worth it along with their fresh coco bread. Love it. It's Jamaica in Atlanta here. Also finally a spot that does fried chicken. Other Jamaican spots always seem to forget their heritage and skip out on it. This place doesn't. If they add delivery, update the inside and advertising they'd own the entire neighborhood easily. But sometimes those things can distract away from things and cause less quality. Don't second guess. Give them a try."

"Wow!!! The food was absolutely fantastic! I tried the Jerk Rasta Pasta and Jerk Chicken. Every dish was delicious and perfectly seasoned. The atmosphere had a relaxed, authentic island feel, with everything made fresh to order. Without a doubt, I will return. -RCHS Parent"

"The food was good. I ordered the curried chicken. I wanted another side option instead of cabbage but was told there wasn't another option. I don't like cabbage but this was the best cabbage I ever had. I would like to try other dishes. No receipts are given if you pay cash. There is a charge if you use a card. The resturant has a causal atmosphere. There is not a whole lot of parking."
