If I could of given it a ZERO star I would of because its the worse example of real Caribbean/Jamaican food. The quality and quantity of food was not acceptable for the price your paying. The rice and peas was old, dry and trashy and was absolutely flavourless, the chicken was meant to be jerk but I think Curtis forgot to even season the chicken much less being jerked I couldn't believe the meals didn't even come with a side salad or vegetables considering your paying £7.50 and £8 and the other awful meal was half a box of ackee and saltfish well it was all peppers, onion and a few pieces of saltfish spreaded out to look plentyful but it was so disappointing I think I had 4 piece of ackee which was meant to be a large serving. That was my 1st time ordering and trust me I will not be wasting my money again and definitely will not be recommending that place to anyone the nicest part of my meal was adding my own salad, coleslaw and avocado. IT WAS VERY SAD AND DISAPPOINTING the service was ok but when we called to make a complaint he (Curtis) was very rude And laughing saying that's how we do are food and have been for years....
Read moreGood customer service and friendly environment! Really disappointed with microwave reheated soggy pattie. As we all know patties are about being flaky and fresh out the oven or reheated in the oven. Jerk chicken is really disappointing (shouldn't be called jerk as there was no seasoning AT ALL ...Mc Donalds chicken nuggets has more flavour) tasted like it was seasoned with salt only. This restaurant caters to the taste buds of white people. How dare you give black people that chicken and claim its jerk? (like to say we haven't grown up on jerk) so disrespectful. I ended up giving the chicken to my cat who had no problems eating it (I never feed my cat jerk chicken because of the spices and seasoning but I had no issue feeding her this). Unfortunately this is the last time I'll be spending my money there. My advice would be to purchase a commercial food display warmer that will keep the patties warm & flaky instead of using the microwave and I also suggest having two options for the jerk chicken a plain and proper jerk version. How about you cater to the black people that do support your business and not just the...
Read moreI ordered from here because my usual Brown Eagle was closed. I have rated this place 1 star because the Rice and Peas and oxtail i had was beautifully cooked. So I want my review to be kind and constructive. The food wasn't unpleasant at all, but it lacked the basic flavours that would make it Jamaican. The rice and peas didnt taste or smell of any coconut milk or any of the herbs which its supposed to be cooked with. The oxtail, though perfectly cooked, was perfectly flavourless too. There was some flavour of something (maybe browning and season salt aka msg), but none of the flavours that should be present. I am led to believe all the good reviews are by people who aren't Jamaican and if they are, they have not really had much Jamaican food in their lifetimes. Needless to say im still hungry because my tastebuds have been left wanting.
Also ordered the Guinness Punch. Its got too much condensed milk and not enough Guinness.
Altogether it was a disappointment and wouldnt reorder or...
