    Small Caribbean cafe restaurant with delicious and flavorful food. Dining area has several tables as well as picture window dining with music playing in the background. Portions are generous and meals are reasonably priced. Many cold beverage and dessert choices too. Friendly efficient counter service and entrance is mobility accessible.

    I made the decision to try this restaurant out because I had a craving for oxtail w/ rice & peas & I wanted that authentic oxtail not the stuff the other restaurants in the area are serving up. Not only was I pleasantly satisfied with the food but I was also very pleased with the customer service I received while ordering over the phone & in person. I’ll definitely be returning on days when I don’t wanna cook & I’ll also be recommending them! Good food & good service will do it!

    The best Caribbean food in the area hands down. When you’re only open for 6 1/2 hrs and sell out of oxtails almost every night you’re doing something right!! Saying that, I would recommend that you get your order in early so you won’t be disappointed if they tell you they sold out of what you want. And you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu

    Love the food but I’m so disappointed you can’t order the beef or chicken Pattie’s on Uber eats 😩. They’re literally my kids favorite. If they add this, I’d be buying 4 a day for my kids.

    This place is a correctly priced version of a lot of caribbean places that struggle to provide the quality that the cuisine is known for. The food is excellent and tastes like a family member made it earlier that day. The prices are reflecrove of the quality and you should be ready to pay for some of the best carribean good for miles.

    Food was delicious I had curry chicken with white rice spinach and plantains the chicken was fresh and well marinated will definitely order again

  • 4/5 Cee A. 5 years ago on Google
    Food in general is yummy but really expensive, 14 dollars for a oxtail meal and the portions are okay but could be better for that price. The patties are the best hands down, from the spinach to the beef, they always run out. Probably one of the best Essex county has to offer in terms of Jamaican food.

  • 5/5 Conley R. 1 year ago on Google
    Best damn beef Pattie’s ever.!! Love the oxtails ! Good food good people. Call In advance for the patties good prices

    Worst food and service every how do u mess up rice and peas with oxtails

  • 1/5 Myoshi M. 4 years ago on Google
    I usually come in and get decent service...today, I was told by a co worker there wasn't a limit for the debit card. When I told the worker I had a card she stated there was a five dollar limit, i told her I didn't know and she took my card and rolled her eyes and didn't realize I noticed. I told her her attitude wasn't necessary and the stereotype that west indians can give attitude aren't needed as I am west indian. She then called me crazy because I told her about her attitude. Do better as an establishment.

    Food is alqays good

  • 5/5 Rosanne B. 5 years ago on Google
    Awesome food. While inexpensive, prices may be a little more or portions a little smaller, for certain items, than the prices at some other Jamican establishments in the area between Montclair and Newark. (Relatively cheap for Montclair, definitely.) The patties are nice and flaky. Jerk chicken is awesome.

  • 5/5 Ayana S. 5 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Hiren S. 5 years ago on Google
    Will never go back after going here numerous times and receiving all bone several times. When I order curried goat I expect meat not bone. Inconsistent taste and inconsistent portions. Save your money and go anywhere else in Essex county.

  • 5/5 Chacho C. 5 years ago on Google
    The best Caribbean spot in Essex County. They don't cheat you on the meal.
