Absolutely amazing! The food was bursting with authentic Jamaican flavor, well seasoned, and cooked to perfection. From the first bite to the last, everything tasted like home. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience even better. Portions were as expected, not to mention the pricing… yes good food on a budget. Lunches special starting from $7 one whole meal. The atmosphere was just right. If you’re craving real Jamaican food done right, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

I’m still full. Definitely worth going out of the way for. Cost efficient regarding upgrades in sizes, and these sauces are so good you can drink them. A spot to visit as soon as you get off the Amtrak in Wilmington, then can have on the riverfront!

100% would eat again! Oxtail, rice & beans, and collard greens were so good. Super quick service and portions were large. The soursop juice was also delicious.

Food is incredible! Got two large plates and housed it. The oxtail is so tender and falls off the bone and the sauce is perfection, allows the oxtail to shine! The jerk pork is only available on Friday and Saturday and is a must get. The pork is fork tender, not dry, good mix of fat and meat with a seasoned jerk crust that is flavorful and lightly spicy. Also the beef patty was very well done with flaky crust and well seasoned and evenly filled beef. Plantains are less sweet than I'm used to but collards, cabbage and rice and peas were all great sides. 10000/10 would come back

This place has the best pepper steak I've had in a long time! Very tender and flavorful! I go here weekly since discovering them. I don't even write reviews but this place is so good and the ladies there are so nice. Not pricy for a Jamaican spot in my opinion.
