Came here for my first Jamaican food experience and wasn't disappointed. Had the chicken roti which was perfectly spiced, and was a large portion size. Service was fast and friendly and prices were decent. The only complaint I have is that there were a lot of flies that I had to keep swatting out of the way. Other than that, this experience was perfect. It was my first time eating Jamaican food and definitely not my last!

The food is incredibly delicious. I try the Jamaican skillet and we also order the 2 egg & jerk and everything was above and beyond

The breakfast was excellent! We opted for the island spice french toast and it was exceptional. We did come on the last day before they were going on holidays, they ran out of bread, so they offered to make it with a different bread than normal. Was delicious and I can only imagine how even more delicious it would have been on the proper bread. I liked how it also came with some nice fruit :)

VEGAN OPTION- Ordered the vegan tofu kebab and wow, so much flavour, so delicious. I read in another review that the chef was vegan so we decided to try it out, this place did not disappoint! They had actually run out of the marinated tofu so they had to make it all from scratch, and despite that it was still perfect! Definitely returning someday, thank you for feeding us! :)

Staff are friendly, colour decor as you’d expect to find in a Jamaican restaurant. Found a cute corner table which was perfect to see the restaurant as well as into the kitchen. Music was a great vibe, old dub mixed with newer beats and the chef was grooving to it. We had the Jerk Tofu plate, was very flavourful. Right amount of sweet and spice in the jerk. Johnny Cakes were great to mop up any sauce. Very fresh and not too heavy. Curried goat was amazing, just enough heat and great depth of flavour. Beef patty, lovely flaky pastry and packed with well seasoned lean beef. I’ll get flamed for this by the traditionalists but if there was some cheese inside too I would’ve ordered ten to go!!! Great experience, would gladly go back and try the rest!!!

Great little spot! Really enjoyed the breakfast. Was sad I didn’t get to try the chicken roti. Next time when I’m in town! Also the beef patties were
