    I arrived in Philadelphia early this morning from Atlanta, and I haven't had really good Jamaican food so I decided to search the closest one to downtown W. When I say, I ran to yelp to leave this review. As you will see from my pictures, I ordered the small Curry chicken along with a small fried chicken because as a Jamaican, I like to have curry gravy with my fried chicken. what I've discovered : The food absolutely delicious , it tasted as if a Jamaican was actually cooking the food. And apparently quality taste Jamaican restaurant small in Philadelphia is a large in other places, because I got so much food I can't even finish it, but I am not complaining . Needless to say, I didn't finish it, but I plan to if I can find a microwave around here because this food is way too good to waste.

    Been coming here for years and they have never let me down. Hands down the best jerk chicken in Philadelphia, being so smoky and savory in the best ways and is grilled so nicely, and while the meat can be dry sometimes, their jerk sauce fixes that up perfectly. And if you order beans and rice for sides, asking for oxtail gravy over the rice is a pro move and is night and day. That being said, their oxtail is amazing, being firm tender, and so amazingly lucious and soothing. Their yams are also the perfect compliment to all their savory foods, not being too sweet while having a custard like consistency being cooked perfectly. Definitely order online through doordash or grubhub before coming for pickup or you will be waiting for at least 30 min (locals know what's up). Do yourself a favor and try their jerk chicken, and watch your life change

    My first time trying Jamaican food! We got two platters, each with two sides. We got one large platter with jerk chicken, rice and beans, and cabbage, and another with honey chicken, white rice, and lettuce. The first platter was our favorite! The rice and beans are so flavorful that I could eat an entire of that alone. This place is cash only and gets pretty busy at night. Will definitely be back!

    Stopped in and grabbed a few platters wanted some Jamaican food. I ordered two stewed chicken and one jerk platter. I wanted some Mac and cheese but there was a 30 minute wait for that. The food had potential although, the chicken was a little dry and not enough sauce on it for my liking. I still would like to try other options.

    Great food! Service was a bit slow but I didn't know I could call ahead. So I just went in. Cash only as well. I got the jerk chicken platter and it was good and it was A LOT of food for the money so good value. The jerk chicken is great. Cooked to perfection and smells soooooooo good. Mac and cheese is extra like guac! The mac wasn't that good but probably gpt the bottom of the barrel so I would try it again.

    2 establishments. To the left focuses more on Jerk Chicken. To the right focuses more on stew/oxtail/fish/ etc. Service: I really like their service - fast and polite Food: good portion and price is not bad. You get two sides with your choice of platter. I wished their flavor was a bit more but nevertheless it was good.

    Lines outside the door are generally a good sign, and quality taste did not disappoint. The flavor of the food was good and the portions of the platters were plentiful. I like that they give you the gravy on the side. You can control the amount you want on your food, and the chicken skin doesn't get soggy. During my visit I ordered the jerk chicken platter, the oxtail platter and the chicken foot soup (per my husbands request). I'm personally not a fan of chicken feet, so I skipped over it, but the flavor of the broth and other ingredients in the soup was really good. Would recommend!
