It is one of the best places to eat in Jackson. I would go back just for the excellent service. The beef patties and goat curry are delicious. Also, the Jamaican jerk chicken is delicious. Good prices. The only drawback is that it is difficult to find parking on a Saturday.

Never disappoints us. It's so good. This plate is Curry Chicken, but that Jerk chicken is even better. 10/10

I ordered take out and it was still good when I heated back up. There was no clarity on where to place order or where I could find a menu. The young lady at the register pointed me to the counter. Service was decent. Atmosphere is very laid back. Reminded me of a spot that closed back home. I'll be back

We ordered 5 plates- different meals in each to try a variety of menu items..... every single thing was delicious!!!!! Oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken, cabbage, rice, plantains, mac/chz, green beans.... all of it seasoned well and cooked to perfection!!!!

The food was AMAZING!!! My daughter and I stopped on the way back to Nashville and we enjoyed every bite!! We had the oxtails with an African donut bread with mac and cheese and cabbage. We had the beef patty with yams. We went as far as to try the yellow rice with the corn bread and plantains. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING was delicious!

I went here with my son. We were headed to a different restaurant but when we passed this place he told me I had to try it. He was right. It's the best jerk chicken I've ever eaten! And the sides were so good! The chef came by, and he was a great guy! Service was fantastic. We'll be back soon. I want to try several other things on the menu. I did make a huge mistake by not trying to beef patty, even though I was stuffed after the chicken! I live in Nashville, and we don't have anything comparable here.
