    They took a long time to delivery through seamless. I ordered jerk chicken..it was pretty good but was not JERK at all...idk what flavor maybe more like stewed CHIX never had jerk like that.. would prefer the pit in orange nj for jerked meat.The rice was really good not mushy..had good flavor. I believe I ordered a small not sure but the portion of the sides could have been better.The curry goat roti was really good though..gave alot of meat..just wish it had potatoes inside. Would get roti again but I would not get anything in jerk flavor from here at all. Asked for oxtail sauce on rice, they did not follow this preference, which dissapointed me because I always order my jerk meals like this from any restaurant. The roti was good but for the delivery wait, I would just go somewhere else. And the delivery driver made me walk outside my gate to get my food..it was cold..and I did prepay my tip..so that also was a let down that he did even try to meet me half way or anything.

    I ordered via doe dash and these people gave me old curry. As you can see in the right side of the photo, the oil has started to harden. The rice smelled SOUR. Did not eat and I will be disputing the charge. Disgusting.

    I order from this restaurant fairly often, in all fairness the food is pretty decent, portions are good and prices are fair. The customer services is terrible! Staff is very rude over the phone and lie about orders. I waited over 2 and a half hours for a delivery order 1 week ago. Ordered again today, called to check the status of the order, the female on the phone lied and said the order was ready. Spoke with the Uber driver who told me they were still preparing the order 45 mins later! It should not take 2 hours to have an order delivered 10 mins away! Lastly why lie?? Last time ordering from here!

    I order here plenty times before. But I always get the curry goat. Tonight I decided to get the curry shrimp. And I have to say I'm very disappointed. It was mostly peppers and onions and 8 shrimps. I get more shrimp in shrimp fried rice than this. You guys have to do better. Less veggies more shrimp. Charge more if your afraid of the cost.

    Just moved to NJ and was looking for a west indian rest close to what im use to in NYC. I got recommended to try this place. The first time I went I had a curry goat white rice which was really expensive. I get its NJ so I said ok whatever. On the ride home the food had a little smell to it. I said ok whatever. The curry goat was slimy like it was cow foot and not goat meat. The smell was horrible and the food was horrible! The only good thing from the meal was the rice and plantain. I went back a 2nd time for the jerk chicken. It was more like spicy bbq chicken with a hint of spice. If you looking for REAL Jamaican food, and know what it taste like, I don't recommend going here.

    Ordered a stew chicken platter through Uber Eats and was given some kind of bbq chicken instead, it was literally red bbq sauce on the chicken. They also forgot to include the soda I paid for. It was a disappointing meal. I've had their oxtail once before and it was decent but pretty expensive.

    Food is good. Service is satisfactory. Not much to say about the atmosphere it's a pick up food spot. Not much expected. It's clean so it all good in my book.

    In the middle of the city, this is a busy location, but this tiny spot finds itself in the midst of it all, The cuisine is mainly Jamaican, I've eaten here several times and each time I've not been disappointed..

    I had curry goat and it was very delicious! It also came with peas and rice, cabbage and plantain.

    Quick service. Respectful staff. Food smells delicious 😋 - Picked up a delivery order. I Will like to give them a try soon. Then maybe we can talk about 5 stars. 😊

    I ordered my usual, oxtails beans and rice. First bite into my oxtail and it was tough!!!! I'm upset to have spent 76.00 on 3 platters and to NOT have tender meat. Then I realized it wasn't the regular Jamaican cook. I don't know who this guy is and when I looked back there he looked like he was sleep walking. Bring the other guy back cause this new one just ain't it!!! Customer service has also gone down the drain. They get these new young girls who don't know how to properly handle orders. They want to get loud and smart with you. Top Taste, do better!
