I really enjoy this place. Not quite the Jamaican food I am used to (I believe it's Guyanese cuisine) but it definitely is fresh and well made. They have recently remodeled and it feels a bit leery inside when you pick up orders (now, orders are picked up at the bar area). I work in the area and my coworkers and I love ordering from this spot. I recommend calling your orders in advance for take-out.
I wouldn't waste money on their shrimp curry. The 'jumbo' shrimp ($15) were medium, at best and they didn't give enough shrimp or curry to warrant the cost. The regular shrimp curry ($11) uses baby shrimp, maybe even salad shrimp. It tasted good, just cost too much for the amount they serve.
That aside, let's get to the positives. The roti is great. You can tell they make it same day. I like the regular roti better than the dhal (chickpea) roti because it's thicker, comparable to naan bread. The fried rice is sooo good. You can tell that they use really fresh ingredients. I think a large vegetable fried rice is around $9 and it is more than enough for two people. The potato balls and polourie are awesome. I just love coming to the Bronx and picking up grub from this spot. Don't forget to ask for their scotch bonnet hot sauce…my mouth is watering just thinking about it :oD
