Description

This simple, luncheonette-style setup serves hot Jamaican dishes straight from trays behind the counter. Inside, there are only two tables and two high-tops, making it a quick, casual stop. The kitchen serves up plates of sweet plantains, cabbage, and callaloo with rice and peas, alongside a popular jerk chicken lunch special with oxtail curry sauce poured over the rice. While some note that the meatless options can feel a bit pricey, the service is notably friendly.
