Small little place drove over 30 mins to try it out and it was absolutely delicious. Almost like a home cooked meal. Portion size was reasonable as well! Will definitely be coming back for more

Excellent food. No need to call ahead it's ready to go just stop in and they'll fix you a container of delicious food. We tried the jerk chicken and the goat curry. Both were amazing. Their Mac and cheese is fantastic. Highly recommend.

The food is delicious! We had the jerked pork and the meat was buttery, seasoned well, and had rice to go with it. The size of the meal was great for the price. I'm excited to go back.
