    Delicious vegan roti wrap! The seitan meat was seasoned so well I had to make sure it wasn’t real meat!! Full of flavour and super friendly staff. Will definitely be back next time I’m in Amherst!

    Delicious food and friendly service! I greatly enjoyed my jerk tofu wrap and the bulla for dessert. Seemed to be a lot of people picking up takeout and enjoying it at home. Thanks Donna - a gem in small town Amherst.

    Best Jamaican food I’ve ever had. My boyfriend from Calgary visited, I brought him here and he said the same thing. Also very friendly service. I was curious who could rate it less than 5 stars and they said it was because it was only open 3 days a week. I came on a Monday when it is a different restaurant and it was still delicious and great service. If you can’t figure out where to eat, stop looking and just go here.

    Absolutely the best fish and chips. Service of the highest quality with prices fair enough the whole family can eat. Don’t miss out, give yourself this treat!

    The food is great and is consistently great each time I’ve visited. Donna takes great care of her customers and is always so inviting. I usually order the jerk chicken meal and I find that the spices aren’t overwhelming and you get a great portion for a fair price.

    Carlene (I hope I spelled her name correctly) made an incredible pork chop with curry sauce and rice for us. It was divine, and made super fresh. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

    I can say that’s the best food I’ve had since I came to Canada (2 years ago). It’s my second time in the restaurant and got even more in love with this food! Everything we ordered was delicious! Full of flavour. The fish and chips was excellent, the chicken is very good too. The staff is very kind. We loved the service. The lady showed up with a portion of unexpected fried bananas (exactly as I used to eat in Brazil). My family felt very welcoming here. The food is amazing.

    Simply excellent food. Ordered the butter chicken meal and the beef patty meal. The food was prepared quickly and the prices are very reasonable for the amount. The butter chicken had a lot of chicken in it and the curry itself was thick and deliciously spiced. A good portion size for a meal. The beef patty meal was awesome the patty was perfectly flakey and the filling was flavorful. The coconut chick pea curry on rice was also great, good amount of chickpeas. The location is fairly central to the downtown. The parking is at the back. The location has limited seating but it is well spaced.

    Literally the best stir fry I have had in my life. Not to mention the Jamaican jerk and fish and chips. I always go to Portlander when I miss home 'Jamaica'. The absolute BEST jamaican food in town. The food was exceptional and the service was great!

    Absolutely fantastic food. 6/5 stars. Authentic, homemade Jamaican jerk chicken. Fish and chips Fridays are also very good.
