“ Perfectly cooked, super tender and flavorful. Got the Goat Curry, and it did not disappoint. The spicy coleslaw is definitely spicy but it’s super delicious. My girlfriend got the Curry Chicken, she’s a picky eater and doesn’t like to try new things but absolutely loved the chicken. We will definitely be back. ”

Loved the food, loved the service 10/10 recommend ”
“ The food is simply incredible, bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The meat is so fresh, tender, and non-greasy. Food portions are large and enough to feed two. Food is delivered hot in a timely manner. Prices are more than reasonable. I highly recommend the Jamaican curry chicken with Haitian rice and cabbage.... Chefs kiss *muah* Ox tail, coconut curry shrimp, and spicy coleslaw are all top notch excellent choices as well. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. The owners are super friendly, make you feel more than welcomed and show great appreciation to their customers. I love the music that is played as you dine, it's very calming, relaxing, transporting you to a exotic beach. The restaurant is tiny and intimate which is great for dates. ”
“ I cannot speak highly enough of this establishment. Owners have done a great job at bringing authentic foods to our small community. You are always greeted when walked through the doors by staff, dining area is always clean and picked up after, but the FOOD!!! The chicken ALWAYS falls right off the bone and cooked perfectly EVERY TIME. My family and I have been feasting since their grand opening and never once had anything that was below standard. Everything we have tried has been delicious, but my go-to favorite is Curry Chicken, white rice, and steamed cabbage. I could eat this any season, any weather type, any day. ”
“ So wonderful! If you go Thu, Fri or Sat you'll have the opportunity to get the Curry Goat. I am going to have to come back many times to try their whole menu. 4-19-25 It's been more than a year since I have been here and the food is STILL GREAT! This time I had the oxtail stew. So flavorful and tender; your fingers get sticky with the gelatin because you just have to stuck every last bit of meat off the bones. ”
“ Delicious food and welcoming staff! One of our favorite places, never disappoints! If you love spicy or not, there's something for everyone! My Littles love the beef stew and the steamed cabbage. MUST TRY! ”
“ Really nice place. I had no idea when I came to Dickinson I would be able to get Jamaican food. The restaurant has both Jamaican and Haitian inspired dishes. The owner was very nice, restaurant was clean and service was great. I got the Curry Goat and it was fantastic! 10/10 would recommend and will be coming back next time I am in town! ”
“ Dickinson's hidden gem! The chicken curry is so hearty, tender & fall off the bone delicious - I recommend ordering an extra gravy to pour over the rice. The steamed cabbage is the best thing ever. Definitely comfort food made with love. The owners are always so personable & friendly when I come in. The chicken stew is also amazing! Could eat this every night & not get sick of it! If you haven't tried it yet you're seriously missing out! ”
