Description

Along Utica Avenue, this spot serves seasoned jerk chicken alongside oxtail served with rice and peas, which patrons note for its tasty gravy. While the food is praised for island-style flavors, the experience comes with trade-offs. The restaurant operates under a cash-only policy—relying on an in-store ATM—and some visitors have flagged high prices and condescending service.
