Not really one for reviews but I had to this time. I have been in NY since January visiting and spending time with my family. I have tried several Caribbean/jamaican cuisines while am here and I also grew up in Brooklyn and was born in Trinidad. Just run to this place! The customer service was great and the oxtail and rice & peas was outstanding!! My only disappointment was finding this place as I was leaving NY so now I have to wait a few months before o can go back! 100% satisfied!! Oh last but not least the portion size was great!
