A lady by the name of Kadi was very nice. Absolutely amazing experience from beginning to end. This is honestly one of the best restaurant and juice bar spots I’ve ever visited. The atmosphere was peaceful, welcoming, and full of positive energy. The Christian Jamaican music playing in the background made the entire experience feel relaxing and uplifting.
The chicken was AMAZING — full of flavor, fresh, juicy, and cooked perfectly. If anybody comes here once, they are definitely going to want to eat here again and again.
What really stood out was the customer service. The owner was extremely polite, professional, and welcoming. Also, a special thank you to Kadi, who was so kind, peaceful, patient, and always ready to help with a smile. She truly made us feel comfortable and appreciated.
If I could give this place more than five stars, I absolutely would. Highly recommended to anyone looking for great food, fresh juices, beautiful vibes, and genuine hospitality.
Came to this restaurant with my Stylist, who said this place was recommended to her. I should’ve been suspicious when the mass amount of food was left over at the end of the night. You will pay $14 for two pieces of meat cut up. Their goal is to fill up the pan with rice so you will not notice. SMH! You should also count and check your change before leaving the restaurant because they gave me another countries currency. When I pointed it out, they acted like it was a mistake. I will not be a returning customer.
This is an amazing place. The food is amazing. The people are amazing very clean. I eat there every day and most of the times when I go buy two trays of food one for lunch and one for dinner today I bought a small oxtail peas and rice taste amazing in the order of salmon and lo mein Let me not forget about the piece of fried chicken. I buy every time I go there because the chicken is everything and I’m not the type of person that likes other peoples cooking.
Service here is very good. The ambiance is clean, spacious, and welcoming. I have a small curry goat with rice and peas and fried sweet plantains. The rice was cooked well and tasted good. The curry goat was very tender and seasoned good, could of added a little more spice but still tasted good. I recommend this restaurant if you are in the area. Also try their sweet chili chicken is delicious .
The Porridge is very yummy, the Rasta pasta is okay the sauce is a bit sweet & maybe not too much sauce would be okay. Very wonderful people & wonderful service. I’m definitely coming back to try more foods on the menu 😋
