Description

Set in low-key surrounds with a bar and flat-screen TVs, the dining room operates with high-volume music and a pace that often requires patience. The kitchen turns out Caribbean staples including flavorful, layered beef patties, sweet yams, and tacos filled with diced shrimp, alongside cabbage, rice and peas, and a potato-free curry chicken in light sauce. Diners encounter a clear trade-off between leisurely service and loud party energy on one side, and bold, seasoned cooking on the other.
