Jerkies: Reviews & Ratings
The food was really delicious and the portions size for the big plate is enough to share. I will be back!
Never have I ever had a plate of Oxtails that it was more than enough to full me! Honey you won’t mine paying for the oxtails because it’s not only yummy, but more than enough! We also got the jerk gyro, curry goat and the macaroni and cheese! Every single thing that we had was delicious! They also have these awesome lemonades that are made with sea moss!! Right up my alley of a healthy option! Oh and the customer service was just wonderful! Atmosphere warm, welcoming and friendly...While my family and I dined in to enjoy all this goodness we were given a taste of the chicken curry egg rolls that my littles absolutely enjoyed! There’s something for everyone! Top tier!!! Don’t miss out, come and get you some!

The staff is very nice and the food is delicious. I ordered the jerk shrimp egg rolls and was pleasantly surprised with the different Caribbean flavors infused in what I thought was a simple egg roll. It was so good I had to order a shrimp rasta pasta to go for my family. Great job and congratulations on your new location in NY. Best of luck!!!
The food is always amazing and I appreciate the great customer service from the cashier, I think her name was Jada if I’m not mistaken. Took her time and got my order, told me to try different items on the menu that she recommended. She just had a welcoming spirit, I will definitely be back
Shrimp gyro is a deliciously spicy dish balanced with the sweetness of plantains. There are a good amount of shrimp and the flatbread is fresh. You have got to try it
Just came from the DMV in an unfamiliar area. I was hungry && this place was the closest spot to order food. When I went in, the guy was polite. When I received my food, I was amazed how BIG this platter is! I ordered Goat Curry. It was so tinder & WELL SEASONED ! It came w/ rice & peas, plantains ( I didn’t want the cabbage ) && I ordered an extra side of Mac. The food is AMAZING 1000/10 !! Highly recommend ! I will continue to travel 40m just for this food
Oh my God this oxtail egg rolls so delicious, it was my 1st time eating this delicacy and it never disappoints, thanks so much to Jada who persuades me into trying this. The restaurant is so clean and has a great ambiance. Nuff Respect
