My name is Shawn, and I was born in Jamaica. I've lived in the United States for 22 years, yet I've never forgotten my roots. I grew up cooking with my grandma, Sally (often known as Mum), and I must …
The small really was small, literally 4 oxtails. Definitely tasty but not worth the money IMO. Definitely 5stars!!
The rice and peas tho.... literally the best I've ever had!! Cabbage was just ok.
Next time I'm in Raleigh, I will absolutely order from here.

I really do not like to leave unfavorable reviews, but I was unhappy. Just because it was not the flavor I am use to when it comes to Oxtails. The sauce was not a dark brown color or taste. It had a stewy sauce look and taste to it, but the portion was plentiful And the Oxtails were very tender and fall if the bone. Just not the traditional Oxtails I am use to.
The Coco Bread was okay, but looked just as I have had it from other Jamaican restaurants. The cabbages were not seasoned and the rice and peas were over cooked and dry. If I had been in the restaurant, I definitely sent it back and got a refund because after that, I had lost my appetite and the meal was NOT cheap. Expected better for the price!
I was confused because it was only around 1 pm and everything should have been fresh. Maybe it was a bad day?! Maybe I will give them another try??

I just need to say this: absolutely AMAZING! This is my first time eating here but I will say, exceeded my expectations! The brown chicken stew was so flavorful and went well with the roti skin - literally soaked up all the stew! The chicken was fall off the bone tender and easy to chew. I thought the portion looked small but honestly it got me to a good level of full where I'm satisfied but not bursting out of my pants. Every thing tasted homemade and fresh. Definitely will be coming back to try more!

The rice and peas were mushy and overcooked. There was an ice cream scoop of cabbage. Probably won't order again for $60 worth of food. Ox Tails was in a red sauce. Normally it's a dark brown sauce.
