This place has the best prices, The goat curry is what I always get from there. Also, they do allow samples. you just need to ask! my advice for people who are particular about plating, the young lady plates the food in a considerately manner unlike the other older lady there that plates it how ever.

I was very hungry. Decided to try the $10 plate. Jerk Chicken. I almost ate myself into a coma. Absolutely amazing food. With a restaurant like this nearby I don't see myself eating much fast food.

This place has great food and a flavors are amazing. When I visited I ordered the steam's snapper with rice and peas chaput and Mac and cheese and boy the flavors came together very well. I must say one thing I never knew that there was a drink call this is it. A Jamaican drink that's made with natural fruits and the flavors burst in your mouth after enjoying such delicious food. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who's in the Brooklyn area

Great place. This is my go-to for jerk chicken, rice & peas, and cabbage. Can't go wrong for $8, and it's always fresh and a copious amount to top it off!!!
