My sister and I decided to try this restaurant out. The staff were welcoming. They are set up like a food truck and have a small seating area if you'd like to enjoy your food there. This restaurant has a variety Caribbean food options available. Unfortunately I didn't get to take pictures, but I had to come talk about the delicious food. We decided to get the jerk chicken meal with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. The portion was huge, so we decided to share. They had the food prepared, so we didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes to get our plate. It was absolutely delicious! The chicken was the perfect amount of spice! I definitely plan to go back soon!
I love the cabbage and rice with some curry sauce on top! My partner loves the oxtail. The salmon is amazing too! Please be sure to get the cucumber juice. It tastes like it was sent from heaven! I've always experienced genuine customer service
Eat here every Thursday food is always fresh and consistent. Chief is very friendly ! My favorite Jamaican spot in the bay !
Jerk chicken, curry goat, curry shrimp is fire!!!! Highly recommend. My 4th time back. Earned a new customer
Great food with a nice seating area. We got the medium jerk chicken (which came with rice and steamed cabbage) with a couple of beef patties and a passion fruit juice that isn't pictured. The jerk chicken was delicious and very tender, you can smell them cooking it from the moment you walk up. The medium was a generous amount of food as well. The sides came with the jerk chicken and were delicious as well. The passion fruit juice had a slight kick to it from what I think was black pepper, which was really nice. Definitely will be coming back to try some other dishes.
