Description
The menu offers traditional plates like saltfish fritters, plantains, and cornmeal porridge. You can pair boiled dumplings with ackee and saltfish, or try the fish topped with pickled onions and fried dumplings. The space also occasionally doubles as a hub for community and arts, hosting poetry performances in a warm setting. While the food draws loyal crowds, be prepared for long wait times on Sundays, and watch out for leaky takeaway packaging if your order includes gravy.
