What People Are Saying
from Google"I’ve had Jamaican food many times and expected more but this food was mediocre. It wasn’t very flavorful. I paid $13.99 for curry chicken which is pretty high to me but then the price of food has risen astronomically over the last few years. I most likely want return because the food was to basic. Some may enjoy it but it’s not for me."
"This was my first time in here. Super cool spot for a quick lunch. Really good food. I got the oxtail. Came stacked on a pile of rice with some beans in it. The gravy with the ox tail was absolutely delicious. Fine eating! But it's kinda a rough spot and if you're unfamiliar with downtown Jackson it may not be the place for you. But damn was it good"
"Pretty good, super convenient. Food is served cafeteria style so was nice to grab and go. There's also a few seats if you'd like to dine in. Food was pretty good, oxtails were tender, gravy was right, sides were flavorful."
"I purchased the Curry Goat & cabbage. Overall it was really good and if you like spicy food, this would be a nice choice! I paid $19.39 for this plate only, which is a bit expensive to me. The employee/owner were Very nonchalant, but not everyone is talkative. I would come back to visit though."
"Love this little hidden gym. Food is so good and always taste fresh. The location is nice but parking is scarce."
