If you do one thing this summer, get the seafood boil!! It was delicious and the portion was very generous for 1-2 people. It was spicy and savoury and honestly I would lick the gloves if people wouldn’t judge me. The kids also enjoyed their food. Everything was made in house and worth the wait. And yes, you will wait, so have a nice conversation with some good people. Ashley was lovely and took care of us well. Wish we weren’t on vacation so we could come back sooner!!

I was feeling for some goat for my birthday lunch so I jumped on google for the top rated Jamaican food in Brampton. This was top rated! The atmosphere was inviting, and the reggae playing sent me to back in the days. The waitress was nice and patient while we decided. I ordered the two meat meal, goat and oxtail. They don't call me long belly for no reason! I loved the goat, it was perfect! Soft flavor and enough pieces. The oxtail was good but not compared to the goat. My hubby had the fried chicken and he ate all of his food. We will be going back there. I also like the fact that there is a take out section.

What can I say, other than amazing authentic Caribbean food. Extremely flavorful, tasty and left me wanting more. A family run business. A blessed family. You feel the tender love and care in the food. Attended my church's New Year's Eve service there and I was pleasantly surprised with space. Very large with adequate seating and a bar on site. A good spot for that date, meeting and a sports nite!! Appetizers were so good: Ackee n Saltfish Bruschetta; Jerk and BBQ Wings; Festival: Spring rolls (Jerk chicken) and Jerk chicken Tacos with Golden brown fried Plaintains. So tasty I forgot to take pics prior to eating but, did manage 2:) I encourage you to take a trip. Worth getting off the bus- bus stop right in front or driving!! This spot gets my vote and 5+stars
