What to Order
Jerk Pork
This slow-roasted pork is a consistent favorite, praised for its tenderness and rich flavor, especially when paired with the oxtail gravy.
"Everything is delicious, but the jerk pork is my favourite! So tender and flavourful. Must get the gravy as well."
Alexandra Lo
Oxtail Gravy
Often mentioned alongside the jerk pork, this gravy is a must-have addition that elevates the flavor of any dish.
"The best jerk in the city, hands-down! Combined with a beautiful oxtail gravy, one can never go wrong here."
P- Chan
Spicy Beef Patty
A hot, flaky, and flavorful patty with a perfect amount of spice, ideal for a quick and satisfying bite.
"It was hot and mouth watering.. hadn’t had one in awhile and this place definitely hit the spot. It was flakey, flavourful, and a bit of spice with temp being hot especially on a cold winters day."
Lisa Young
Jerk Chicken
A well-regarded classic, this jerk chicken offers good flavor that isn't overly spicy, making it accessible to many palates.
"Not sure who didnt give a 5 star, but loved the jerk chicken and pork. Not crazy spicy for this non Caribbean man but good flavour."
Todd French
Curry Goat
This dish is highlighted as the best curry goat by some, offering a rich and authentic Jamaican flavor.
"I love the food here and the customer service is so good. Their curry goat is the best."
Danny
Oxtail
Cooked to perfection, this oxtail is praised for its ideal texture, being neither too soft nor too hard.
"Very good Oxtail. I have been to many Caribbean Restaurants and none of them cooked Oxtail properly. This Oxtail was so good and cooked very good. Not too soft and not too hard."

Inside Scoop
- For the freshest jerk pork, aim to arrive right at 11:00 AM.
- The staff, especially the women at the cash, are consistently praised for being friendly and helpful.
- Consider asking for gravy on the side if you want to control the spice level or prevent dryness.
- Portions are generous for the price, offering good value.
- They no longer use DoorDash or Skip, and phone inquiries can be difficult, so plan to order in person.
