The food was excellent. This is my third time there. Service was friendly. I would suggest to come for a nice lunch or dinner. Portions are perfect.

We went here for dinner last night. The food was the best I’ve ever had! The presentation was amazing! The staff are so friendly and the establishment itself is just warm, cozy and inviting! I highly recommend this place! We had the jerk Alfredo pasta, jerk spring rolls and the steamed snapper and everything was so good!!!

I was hesitant to eat here because of what I heard about the portion sizes. My wife and I decided to give it a shot after looking at the menu online.

I ordered the coconut shrimp pasta and my wife had the lobster linguine. We also shared a six-piece serving of jerk chicken spring rolls. To wash it all down, we both had a tall glass of sorrel.

I rated my meal (coconut shrimp pasta) a 10/10. It’s very saucey, so keep that in mind. The jerk chicken spring rolls get an 8/10. Very delicious with a nice sauce, but I feel the chicken can use a stronger kick. The sorrel for me gets a 10/10.

My wife rated her lobster linguine a 9/10, spring rolls an 8/10 and the sorrel a 6/10 because she’s not a fan of strong ginger, which the drink had a lot of. She rated my meal (coconut shrimp pasta) an 8/10.

This was a pretty solid Jamaican joint in Brampton. I had the curry goat and some pepper shrimp. The goat had some nice flavor for sure. The shrimp was ok, but missing the flavor proprietary I was expecting. If go back though and try another dish.

I was feeling for some goat for my birthday lunch so I jumped on google for the top rated Jamaican food in Brampton. This was top rated! The atmosphere was inviting, and the reggae playing sent me to back in the days. The waitress was nice and patient while we decided.
I ordered the two meat meal, goat and oxtail. They don't call me long belly for no reason! I loved the goat, it was perfect! Soft flavor and enough pieces. The oxtail was good but not compared to the goat. My hubby had the fried chicken and he ate all of his food. We will be going back there. I also like the fact that there is a take out section.

Meals were absolutely tasty and perfectly balanced from the appetizers to the entrees. Popcorn fish was surprisingly GOOD and the fried chicken was one of the best I've had in a while. Portion size is very filling. Couldn't find a complaint. The server was pleasant and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and will be back!

This was my first time at this restaurant. Went here with my wife for a date. Upon arrival I was impressed by the overall vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant. Very elegant and chill. The service was amazing as my server was kind. The menu wasn't confusing and the food prices were great. We had some apps and ribs. All items were presented well and were very tasty. Would definitely recommend. Great place for a date or hanging out with friends. This is not your typical Jamaican restaurant. Definitely a cut above the rest.

Honestly, don't waste your money. I gave this place two honest tries. I ordered takeout and dined in. I ordered the red peas soup and a chicken sandwich for my takeout order. I was told 10 to 15 mins. When I went to collect my order, I was told 5 more mins. Then another 5 more mins. After checking 2 more times, I requested a refund. Due to it being my lunchtime, I had time constraints. The customer service was extremely lacking. She was rude and very impersonable. Subsequently, I received my 35 mins after I placed it. You would think that after such a lengthy wait, my food would have been decent. It sadly was not. I really had hope for the sandwich. Asthetically, the food was appealing. Sadly, that was the only appealing thing. The soup was flavorless, and my chicken sandwich was dry and tough. The silver lining was the sweet potato fries. They were ok. Dry, but this was the best part of the meal. It was a very unappealing meal. Needless to say, I didn't finish it. The meal came up to $35. What a waste.

Upon the suggestion of a friend, I decided to give this restaurant a second chance. This time, I went for dine in. I ordered the coconut and shrimp pasta and an extra thigh of fried chicken. For appetizers, we order the platter. We chose the chicken wings, jerk chicken spring rolls, and coconut jumbo shrimp. Just a warning the cream sauce that comes with the shrimp is really spicy. Despite the waitress telling me that it had no spice at all. Needless to say, the platter was the best part of the meal. My pasta was filled with spinach. The shrimp in the pasta was tiny. The sauce was soupy and watery at best. It's not worth your money. The silver lining was the frozrn Mango daiquiri. I ordered a mango sunset, which the waitress recommended. Despite that , I was still giving the wrong drink. I will be honest, for the drink being not what i ordered, it was fantastic. Sold 8/10. I finished that for sure. The food, on the other hand, was severely lacking. I really had hoped it would be better. I was wrong. The chicken wings and the jumbo shrimp were ok. I will not be returning to this restaurant. Try your luck. Who knows. To me, it's not worth the time or money!
