I never take the time to leave reviews, but after tonight’s meal, I absolutely had to give this place the recognition it deserves. And this place is severely underrated because it deserves nothing less than a perfect 5-star rating!
We’ve tried many Jamaican and Caribbean restaurants throughout Northern Virginia, and this is BY FAR the best we’ve had. Everything was OUTSTANDING!
The oxtail was hands down the best I’ve EVER had — rich, savory, perfectly seasoned, and so tender it fell apart. The gravy was phenomenal! The jerk chicken and curry chicken were just as delicious — tender, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. Best beef patty too!!
My hubby and I are officially putting this place into our regular rotation.

Food was awesome! The jerk chicken is DEFINITELY JERK, if you don't like spicy, choose something else. Nonetheless, the food was fresh and the portions were a decent size. The spicy beef patty was good and flaky, the meat was seasoned well. I'd definitely order here again!

The flavor is great. The salmon was well seasoned with a crisp char and soft juicy flesh. Good portion and ripeness on the plantains but the size of the Yucca fries portion was very lacking. Rice and peas was tasty and not soft or mushy.

I ordered the Oxtail Stew(10oz) collard greens, and rice and beans. Everything was still hot when delivered and fresh!!! I can't say enough about how flavorful the oxtails were!!! Even with the leftovers the next day, the food was still amazing!!! Will definitely be ordering again soon!!

The whiting dinner is delicious & plentiful (2 huge pcs). I got the fries (tasty) & greens (fair-needed more seasoning). Overall it was very good. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I must try the oxtails next.
