I was coming from Westchester County and searched YELP for some Caribbean dishes and I saw the great reviews from this spot in Manhattan. I was excited to try a new Caribbean spot since I love the food.
I visited on a Tuesday afternoon around 2pm and they didn't have a lot of options. The guy behind the counter stated they had No mac n cheese, No collards, no Yams come on. I was looking forward to the mac n cheese n yams that the Yelp reviews raved about. I told the guy it's really early for yall to be out of so much food and he stated they were still cooking. The guy seemed to look at me like who is this lady questioning me? With it being such a small restaurant I was shocked how many items wasn't available and this seemed to be a pattern based on reviews of lots of menu items not available. Why offer these items if you can't maintain the demand for them. If I was to come to this spot again and that's a strong If, I would definitely call first so you don't go in there hungry thinking you're getting something that sounds yummy but they don't have any more left.
I finally settled for the Jerk chicken, rice n peas and cabbage which was pretty good, not the best or worst I've had. The amount of food was a little smaller than I am used to but it is what is. If I am in the area and there's nothing else available I would definitely eat here again, whatever they have available. However, I would not go out of my way to come back for Caribbean food when there are sooo many other places nearby that will have the menu items available.
Found this amazing little spot based on the Yelp reviews! The place is pretty small but you can still comfortably sit and enjoy your food. I wanted to order the mac and cheese but they were all out. Instead I ordered the yams, collard greens and bbq chicken. The chicken was delicious! Covered in yummy bbq sauce and super tender. The yams were surprisingly not as syrupy sweet as I expected which made them even better in my opinion. I also decided to be adventurous and try their lemonade since my drinking is strictly limited to water and alcohol. This was a very good decision on my part! The lemonade was soo good that I bought another to go. As a disclaimer I love sugar which is most likely why I loved this lemonade so much. My friend tried it and thought it was too sweet. I also tried my friend's jerk chicken and it was good but too spicy for me. If you're into spice then go with that option. Prices here are very reasonable, under $20 for two meals and drinks.
Oxtail with rice and peas was tasty. Jerk chicken with rice and peas was good too. The jerk chicken is true jerk so have your water handy. The cashier/server was actually pretty nice. The seating is simple but nice lighting. I actually would dine-in in the future. Good food, nice seating area and friendly staff. Overall thumbs up.
