Amazing Jamaican restaurant. Nothing else like it in the area. Place does get very busy so expect a decent wait (10-15 mins to just be served is average) but the food is incredible and well worth the wait. Would highly recommend

Absolutely amazing! So much flavour and food nice and hot. Tuned up today but they had a private party on and they still let us have a takeaway! Brilliant service! Very friendly! Really recommend.

My first time having Caribbean food and definitely won’t be my last. The food was delicious, lovely and hot and so full of flavour I could’ve gone back for seconds! The customer service was also fab, the lady behind the counter is very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely be visiting again.

This is the best place for me to eat in the local area been coming here well over 10 years and seen it grow and grow. Real soul food with a great variety. Kelly n Dave are so welcoming the place has a real community feel to it. Garlic prawns, jerk pork n the coleslaw are my favourites they are out of this world. But same with everything can’t fault a thing.

First time ordering here after a good friends recommendation! I love Caribbean food and have eaten at lots of Jamaican restaurants over the years. Kelly was lovely and let me sample some of her curried goat! I have to say I don’t think I’ve ever tasted food like it!! Really tangy punchy jerk chicken and a big portion for the money! I’m coming back Saturday to order half the menu!! Loved it!!

The food is absolutely amazing. It's been a couple of years since I've been here and it's somehow only got better. You may have to wait a few minutes as it can get busy but it is well worth the wait. Fantastic, friendly service and you can taste how fresh the food is. The curried goat is tender as anything and just falls apart as you eat it. Good portion sizes, it's amazing value for money. I don't know why I ever stopped coming here!

Nearest spot to where I was working and I can’t resist trying somewhere Caribbean. Usually the result of trying somewhere new is hit or miss but the curry goat I had on a takeaway at this place was nothing less than immense! 10/10 and was a quick but very unique lunch for me. Will be back and cannot recommend highly enough. Piping hot, tender, saucy curry goat with proper flavour
