    1st time here... Food is good. Brunch service needs a whole new revamp. Being that brunch is a busy time more servers & a host is needed. Offering a "bottomless brunch" service but the service is SLOW is not acceptable. Once I placed my order I had no one come to my table to ask how the service is or if I needed another drink. I watched 3 other tables glasses stay empty on a bottomless option for way too long. Asked for to-go containers had to wait 20 mins to receive it. When I spoke to a staff member (I think it was the floor manager) he basically stayed that all the other times during the week they give great service just brunch is crazy. Knowing that, have more staff coverage 2 more staff members should not be coming in at 3pm when you know that you are busy from 11-2:30 during brunch hours. Being that you have been in operation for a long time you should know when certain things need a revamp... Out with the old way and in with a new way that will have a customer coming back.

    Amazing. The food was fresh and seasoned to perfection. It’s a bit spicy if you like that. I love it. The drinks are fab. Try the honey, jalapeño cocktail. Marley is the bomb server. Shout out to them.

    2021 Review: Mango Seed and Zurilee are now merged to one restaurant. Important note: THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY. There isn't any sign of this anywhere, you're only told by the host right before you're seated. Good food, moderate prices. I wasn't the biggest fan of the drinks. Also, my party was the first of a batch to be seated, yet we were the last of that group to be served. It was only 2 of us. People had been served, eaten and was readying to leave and we hadn't been served yet. No reservations, so expect a wait depending on how busy they are. 2017 Review: Pretty good restaurant. It's family owned and cozy (or crowded depending on how you view it). Food is okay and service was decent. The happy hour drinks blew my mind! $5 and $6 for such delicious drinks! Awesome! We sat in the back ... view wasn't the best because they didn't decorate or make it look nice, it just felt like someone's backyard with a deck and some grass in the back. We wanted to go outside because the music inside seemed to overpower any conversation anyone would anticipate. I kinda felt like we should've been inside though, as we really felt left out from the crowd and the feel of the restaurant. Overall, good food and somewhat decent service, clean bathrooms and great drinks... it's a great place to grab a bite with some friends in the Flatbush area. Recommendations- if you're okay with loud music, please sit inside or you'll feel like you're just eating in someone's backyard therefore totally missing the vibe of the restaurant. Another thing is to make reservations ahead of time as there appears to be a wait time. My group had a reservation but while waited to be seated we overheard others at the bar talking about a 45 minute wait.

    Cash only! Great place for drinks and snacks. I came on Saturday and didn’t expect they’d have a large space in the back. The happy hour cocktails tasted great and were strong. My friends enjoyed their pizza. We ll be back for more

    The food options were so good I could not decide so I had both. The oxtail and grits was amazing as well as the jerk chicken and waffles was cooked to perfection! The staff is very kind and the place really gives you a Caribbean field one of my favorite places to visit in Brooklyn I will definitely visit again soon!

    Solid brunch spot, went around opening time on a weekend without reservation but got busy quickly. Oxtail and grits was so good, the best dish on a cold gray day. $28 for a hefty portion, plus parm grits was thicker than most and definitely cheesy and savory. Friend had the namesake burger and it was good too. Endless mimosa was a good value too, they let you have 1 carafe/person at a time. You’re allowed to order more flavors but when a new carafe/flavor arrives you have to forfeit one from the table. Service was great. Bathrooms are clean.

    Excellent food, fresh ingredients, & amazing blend of flavors. We ordered the jerk chicken which was seasoned perfectly and the mango salad which was do refreshing on such a hot summer’s day. My friend ordered the guava margarita and it was so good ! Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Jennifer R. 2 years ago on Google
    The owner Jermaine is one of my clients….when I tell you the whole menu is a pick alll! I wanted to try everything lol…I had the jerk chicken and opted out of rice and peas for extra plantains which was amazing! BUT do you seeee the 3 cheese mac…listen “take me to the king” enough said. The drink menu is on point so try the Lady Killer and Crooklyn. You’re welcome!!

  • 3/5 Toni-Ann M. 2 years ago on Google
    I had a couple of things that I didn’t personally like. I had the jerk fish tacos and mac & cheese. I ordered sweet plantain and the wings to go. My best friend had the jerk salmon with cabbage and plantain. My issue with this place was the menu is very limited there’s no starch no rice no potato. They only take cash. And I wanted to try the oxtail pizza but it was $40 for eight slices. The jerk tacos were good and really small. My best friend enjoyed her salmon but she wanted more food on a plate and she wanted rice. So down the music was great service was great.

    Inviting and chill atmosphere. The front bar has its own vibe and the back where more tables are is its own vibe! Great food and unique drinks. Staff and bartender were really cool and personable. I'll definitely be back.

    The Crooklyn is a delicious cocktail with bourbon and black pepper jam.

  • 4/5 Keisha W. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is good. The portions are larger than expected. I am not sure about when they open and start serving since when i arrived there was a line outside waiting for them to open on Mother's Day. It is strange that they are a cash only establishment. Truthfully if they accepted cards we had planned to order a pizza to go. We plan to come again. They have contact tracing for those who dine in.
