Description
The menu stretches well beyond the basics to include jerk chicken, oxtail, fried chicken, bammy, and cod fish fritters, alongside breakfast porridge. The curry goat is prepared with a mild spice. Visitors note a classic neighborhood trade-off: while the staff might not be friendly, the kitchen delivers substantial value with plates sized to be a rarity in the city. It is the kind of local counter where the food is tempting enough to win over those who only walked in looking for a drink.
