What to Order
Jerk Chicken Poutine
This unique poutine features thin, crispy fries, shredded mozzarella, and a generous amount of tender jerk chicken, all balanced in flavor.
"The jerk chicken poutine and oxtail peas and rice is SOOOOO amazing. Especially the oxtail. The portions are great and so so so filling."

Oxtail Stew with Rice and Peas
A flavorful oxtail stew served with moist and savory rice and peas, offering a substantial and satisfying meal.
"The flavor was on point, though I do wish there were more meaty pieces since the ones I got were really tasty. The dish seemed to have some kind of gravy over the rice, which kept it moist and flavorful."

Curry Chicken Roti
A large roti generously filled with flavorful curry chicken, offering a slight amount of heat and a very filling experience.
"I ordered a large curry chicken roti. It completely filled the container. The filling is flavourful and has a slight amount of heat. There is so much I got three meals out of it."
Ed C
Jerk Pork
This jerk pork is consistently juicy and flavorful, often served in generous, moist portions.
"The Jerk Pork was an unexpected star, usually I find Jerk Pork to be hit or miss but each piece was super juicy and flavourful. Highly recommended!"
Grant
Coleslaw
A unique, vinegary, and salad-like coleslaw that provides a refreshing contrast to the rich and saucy main dishes.
"I also really liked their coleslaw. It’s not creamy or saucy, but more vinegary and salad-like, which pairs nicely with their rich, saucy dishes."
