Best Jamaican spot in LA. I’ve been here two times. Second time, I wanted to try something different. I ordered the Brown Stewed Fish dish and it will delicious! Big, flavorful, fresh and hot. Didn’t finish in one sitting lol. Also, the ladies were friendly and conversational and very kind. Atmosphere was like entering lil Jamaica: it was clean, had some nice music playing, etc Definitely will be back to try some other new dishes. Peace.

Happened to be in the area and we could not have found a better place to eat after a long day. Shai helped us out and gave us great recommendations and had a great vibe.

I’m going back tomorrow just to try the curry goat. Take my word for it you need to try this place. Oh and don’t forget to get a patty and one of their homemade drinks you won’t be disappointed.

The patty is perfectly flaky with a delightful crunch. The jerk chicken is seasoned to perfection, and the chicken meat is incredibly tender and juicy. The jerk pasta is bursting with flavor, and the…
