“ I ordered the jerk chicken and oxtails on Grubhub. When I got there my food was ready and I was able to get it quickly. People were steadily coming in and out so they must be doing something right. The place looks closed but stop through regardless because they are most likely open. ”
“ Worth a stop off of i85 or i95. Th curried goat and salmon were incredible. Entrees served with generous rice and beans, steamed seasoned cabbage, and a slice of sweet plantain. Can order through Uber eats, grubhub, Doordarshan, but enjoying the aroma and good reggae inside is worth it. ”
