• 3/8/25Breadfruit was oily but the ending taste was great. Braised Oxtail was good. Sweet Fried Plantain was good. Great portions for the Breadfruit & sweet Fried Plantain.

• 12/13/25The Curried Goat was flavorful and delicious 😋. The lunch portion was severed in a larger tray that looked as if it was eaten from.The medium soup came in a small container, but the over all view was it was good. The Peanut Punch wasn't tasty to much milk. I ordered 2 for myself & a co-worker, we both agreed and trashed the drink. I will order again from this place but I'll stay aways from the homemade drinks.
