The people who work there are so nice and friendly. The restaurant is clean and welcoming. For me, the spices used in the food is not best but the food is good and fresh all the time. I've purchased morning, afternoon and evening. The lunch special is the best

One of the most authentic tasting Caribbean restaurants in Brooklyn. Flavors are on point and the food always well cooked. Their portions are fair in comparison to price and prices are fair in comparison to industry margins. Always satisfied when I eat here so I patronize them religiously. Highly recommended for catering as well.

If you want to taste the absolute BEST cornmeal porridge in Brooklyn, then you've found the spot!!! You WILL weep sweet sorrow when you get to the last spoonful!! The spices they use are out of this world. The bakes and salt fish are top notch and made a great combo with the porridge. Their menu shines with all of your favorite Caribbean delights, from stew chicken to oxtail stew. You won't be disappointed except for when they close at the end of the business day! At that point you will have to wait a few hours to indulge your taste buds once again! !!!

I go to this restaurant every weekend. They have a delicious soup without too much of those flour dumplings. Can't beat their 4.00 lunch special. BBQ chicken is finger licking good. I always leave with four dishes. Good job guys. Keep the deliciousness going.

I've been going there for about 2 years and I love all their food. The oxtail, the stewed chicken, the curry goat, if food is just off the meat rack.

It was a good experience, I went there initially to find out how much it would be for a small pan of BBQ chicken and it was way too much so I didn't order it but I did get half chowmein and half fried rice with BBQ chicken and it was really good. I'm Guyanese so they did a great job with the food.
