The food was absolutely delicious but the portion size is outrageous. To me hearty food like Jamaican food is best enjoyed in bigger portions but this restaurant serves the opposite. A $20+ item will be a few bites of food. I think if money isn’t a factor the food is definitely top notch but if you want value I’d recommend elsewhere. For the food I’d definitely recommend the salt fish Mac, jerk chicken wings, and best of all their rum bread pudding. The rum bread pudding was by far the highlight of my lunch.
I was excited to share this review because, even after four years, my boyfriend and I still fondly remember how wonderful this restaurant was. Reflecting on those moments inspired me to share our experience. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with warmth by an elderly couple who had just completed their meal and were eager to share their experience with us. The host greeted us with a delightful dance, offering the warmest welcome I have ever encountered. The waitress was exceptionally kind and attentive, even taking a selfie with us, which added a personal touch to our visit. The food was outstanding; I can still savor the remarkable flavors even after four years. This restaurant is truly a hidden gem, and it will always be a must-visit destination whenever we return to Canada. Thank you for the wonderful memories!
Ce fut une expérience aussi déroutante que la première fois que j’ai mangé dans un bon restaurant Indien. Différence et complémentarité des saveurs. C’était un vraiment excellent repas.
Accueil très chaleureux, très bon service , repas exquis. Nous avons dîné à l extérieur. Je recommande vivement cette adresse, le quartier est red sympathique également.
