This little gem serves up authentic Jamaican dishes to take away. The meat is smoked outside in a smoking barrel which has a Jamaican flag painted on the outside which is a nice touch. I personally always get the Jerk Chicken which is served with plenty of sauce, rice and kidney beans and homemade coleslaw or steamed veggies. It's delicious! Other dishes include soups, dumplings, curries etc. You can also get grape soda.
