    Great food, we ordered the jerk chicken, the meat just fell off the bone and the chicken kababs which were also flavorful with great portions. Good cocktails and the service was nice and quick.

    The food was fantastic. From the perfectly crunchy-yet-soft falafel to the incredible jerk chicken, all amazing and memorable. But the place was empty. It's small, but there were only 2 other tables occupied. With food this good, it should be packed! Even the waitress was uncomfortable with the emptiness. The food is too good. Service was totally acceptable. Hidden gem.

    The fam and I were eager to try it. The place was empty but I would said it was a long weekend. The drinks were on pint. Service: mediocre at best. Food was ok. Ambience: I was told there is no music because the owner wasn’t there. Overall value did not match expectations. I would probably not come back soon.

    This is the second time we went there, as the first time we enjoyed it tremendously. The experience was not the same sadly. I thought we had found a good "neighborhood" restaurant, but alas, the service had degraded dramatically - we had to wait for service extremely long, and on multiple occasion we had to try to get attention of the staff to get service. The food continues to be good, but alas the prices have gone up dramatically also. One dish that was priced on the menu was $40, but when I tried to order it, I was told the price had gone up to $65, which was crazy for this restaurant. I hope the team can figure out the service issue, and adjust their prices to accommodate for the clientele in the neighborhood.
