We make all of our Jamaican food from scratch with traditional cooking methods. The result is popular favorites such as curry chicken made in a way that bring out all natural flavors. Since traditional Jamaican dishes don't usually contain any processed ingredients, making most meals a tasty, healthy treat.
We specialize in 100% authentic Jamaican food. This isn't just limited to the items we put on the menu. Our Jamaican food is made with traditional ingredients such as black pepper, coconut, plantain, salt beef, oxtail, and tamarind. Our chefs also prepare all foods in the traditional manner, adding a touch of authenticity that you can taste with every delicious bite.
Jerk chicken is named after a style of cooking that has been popular in Jamaica for many years. During the process of making the chicken, meat is rubbed with a spice known as Jamaican jerk spice. It is used on both chicken and pork dishes. Ingredients include nutmeg, salt, thyme, salt, cloves, and cinnamon.

DISSATISFIED. DISAPPOINTED. I ordered a meal via door dash that they didn’t actually have. The replacement I agreed to was horrible. I was double charged and on top of that I did NOT RECEIVE MY DRINK. The very drink I PAID FOR ALONG WITH Meal! I will NEVER EVER RETURN!

Ordered red snapper (pan) for a add on to the traditional meal..sooo good. Everyone "raved" about the snapper. This is a "go to" place for me as often as possible. Excellent food and great personal service and I am "picky". LOL. I am a long time customer and have never been disappointed.

This place was horrible. The customer service was awful. They don’t greet you when you come I . They also did not wear mask and had a floor that was wet with no sign. Please go to another other restaurant but this! I couldn’t even order my food because they were so rude

I have been going to this restaurant for years, the one in Rockville and Gaithersburg, Maryland. I understand the prices going up but the platters have gotten smaller and I would go to get the oxtails. Now the oxtails are half cooked, tough and all bones.. WHY???? What happened??? Our money is still being spent... Not happy, and the store in Rockville, the customer service is somewhat rude and I am very disappointed.. $20.00 for bones and undercooked meat? WOW!!!! Just lost a long time customer

I tried the oxtail tail, it was delicious but the white meat jack chicken was so salty I had to trash it. Wasn't good at all. Waste of money.

The food here is a hit or miss and very expensive for a sub-par quality. $18 for a small plate and they will fill it up with a side and a very little bit of meat. The food taste was ok, perhaps collard greens were the best tasting. On top of that the place is unhygenic with no-one wearing a mask.
