This food was amazing. There's a severe lacking of Jamaican food in the Bay Area. Thankfully the few that exist like this have excellent food. I am not including photos because I ate it too quickly. Staff was extremely friendly and gave a great recommendation. Had some good music to listen to while waiting for my order. I tried a combo with oxtail and curried goat. Had a side cheese and spinach patty for the ride home. Hot sauces on the tables were excellent too. Look forward to coming back and won't let a 20 minute drive stop me.
This eatery, which I discovered on Instagram, certainly met my expectations. It's a small-scale business, so patience is key. The food, service, and atmosphere were all excellent.
I began with a chicken patty, which was one of the most flavorful I've had in a long time. The size of the patty was generous, making me feel like I got my money's worth. The exterior was flaky and buttery, making it the perfect appetizer, especially when paired with a pineapple soda.
The highlight of my meal was the oxtail and jerk chicken combo. The chicken, which seemed to have been slow-cooked, was juicy and tender. Be prepared to get your hands dirty, as the sauce is incredibly tasty. The oxtail was also tender and made for great finger food. Although mine was a bit fatty, there was still plenty of meat to enjoy. The plantains were cooked Cajun-style and slightly charred, just the way I prefer.
The red beans and rice were decent but a bit dry for my taste, as were the raw cabbage topping and the bread.
In conclusion, if you're craving Jamaican cuisine, this is a place worth trying. They also offer catering services, which is good to know. I plan on returning here on a monthly basis.
