This place is one of my new favorite places after just one visit!!! I got the jerk chicken and the flavor on that was unlike anything I’ve ever had! Kudos cooks and recipe divisor! I (think) met the owner who took my order and was very helpful to align me with the perfect dish for me, prepared in the perfect manner. She was very friendly and easy on the eyes. She had no airs about her, she was palling around with the cooks like she’d known them her entire life. Her big bright smile didn’t leave her face. The quality of chicken was EXCELLENT, they’re not cutting corners like a lot of places these days.
If you want a delicious, high quality meal, at a very reasonable rate- this is the place for you! I could not speak more highly of a restaurant.

The four stars is my norm for first time visiting. The Rasta Pasta with jerk chicken was really good and flavorful! I had a beef empanada on the side as well with jerk sauce that was super tasty! Hopefully s repeat visit will yield the same results and get that fifth star! Overall the service and food was really good.

This is my favorite restaurant in Ventura County! I love the staff and the FOOD reminds me of my grandmother's Sunday dinner. Oxtail is a must order along with a curry goat roti 🤤 Do not forget a patty and you have Jamaican food as close as you can get in Ventura County plus Filipino and other Caribbean influences. Thank you for bringing this gem here and I'm sure you've seen my name many times. I love this place!! 🇯🇲 to the world!

Great Jamaican and Filipino food. Husband and wife team are super friendly. Their beef patties are also amazing.

Walked in and was greeted by the sweetest person on the planet who also asked what we liked and gave many options to help us decide. first was the beef Pattie’s. Something I try every time they are available…This was the Best beef pattie Crust I’ve ever had.. The beef inside was sorta dry for my taste but still very flavorful. I’m from NY so I’m used to Jamaicans making fresh patties. Maybe moisten the mixture and you’ll have a hit with me.
I also had the pork kebabs with white rice, pretty plain and basic, but was very well seasoned and tasty. My kid had the tofu curry and didn’t like it that much they complained the the curry was not flavorful enough. We both loved the Jerk Chicken but thought the peas and rice were too dry for our tastes the plantains were great .
Personally overall with the great menu size and the mixed variety I’d like to go back and try a couple of more items however, I don’t think I’ll be able to get anybody to come back with me as everyone I ate with had disappointing meals. Definitely worth a visit.
