Curried goat was amazing service was fantastic if you like it on the spicy side like myself just ask for a side of jerk ????

Ozzie Sabina

Fantastic jerk chicken , smoothies are also great (I favor the guava ) and perfect to tame the burn from the jerk. They are HUGE though, plan on sharing or being really thirsty.

Julianne Raymond

The food here is delicious. I always try something different and I am never disappointed! The service is super friendly too. Definitely a local business I am glad to see doing so well !!

Sarah

Gary McLendon

Amazing fries , curry chicken is delicious and the jerk chicken is fantastic! Best place in Gainesville for Jamaican food .

Susan M

didn't wait long for our food. Staff was very helpful/ friendly . I think it must just be an issue when staff is short or during a rush. I had the boneless fried curry chicken and it was excellent.

Wendy Robertson

These are the most amazing people in town . Not only do they serve fantastic food but they are genuine people, a rare treat. There is nothing on this menu that is not AMAZING..

Jordan Fernandes

As somebody who usually hates tofu , I must say the brown stew tofu is one of the yummiest things i've ever eaten. The fries are delicious too.

Not as great as I was expecting. Wings were OK. Jerk chicken and rice were dry. Couldn't get my burger med rare. They only cook them 'regular,' which was med well and dry also. Took a long time too.

My first time here. The service is terrible, waited ten minutes for water. The food is marginally worth the wait, but I've been other places that are better all around.
