First time I ordered from this company and was very satisfied with my ox-tail dinner. They gave me alot of ox-tail compare to other Jamaican restaurants. The curry goat was beautiful tasting and nice. Next time I would like to go in the restaurant and eat. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
The food amazing! Whenever we’re in town we always stop here! The jerk chicken is so flavorful and tender. The staff and chef were so nice! We will definitely be coming back in the future
I had high hopes for this restaurant and I wanted to like it, but the food did not meet my expectations. I was completely disappointed to find how burnt my stewed chicken was. What's sad is that it had potential and it could have been great, but they over did the browning. The mixed vegetables tasted like it was thawed and placed right in the container. It was bland and had absolutely no seasonings. Lastly, the rice to chicken ratio was not proportionate. The food may be fit for tourists, but not for a West Indian like me who knows better. There's a lot of potential here, just do better.
A Taste of Jamaica that leaves you craving for more! My husband, son and I all greatly enjoyed our food. The stuff were great and the chef came out to greet us and make sure we were enjoying our meal. My personal favorite was the oxtail stew. It’s definitely one of the best places to eat in Niagara Falls, Ontario
It is like a plate of home cooking. Jeff was friendly and genuine. I had the Curry chicken and ordered a slice of Rum cake and a Mild Beef Patty to go. This was the best meal we had during our visit to Niagara. I couldn't believe my travel buddy didn't complain about anything. She ate every bite!
This is real food folks, not fast food...so pack a little patience, it's worth the wait. The curry chicken was so tender OMG I loved every bite. The curry has a perfect balance of flavor, not overpowering. The rice and peas were perfectly cooked. We may return early tomorrow to get our Jerk! Sending Belizean love to the chef.

Went there at a non peak time so there was no line at all. We ordered the oxtail and curry goat meals (large). You can see that they have really good portion and flavorful food nailed. Love this place in town. The server was not very enthusiastic at 4 pm but I understand.
Tastes like a home-cooked meal — warm, authentic, flavourful, and the friendliest owner. We ordered a large jerk chicken, and like the reviews before us promised, it was tender and fell off the bone. Curry chicken and stewed pork was also delicious, but the latter was not as tender. Only the frozen vegetables were underwhelming so I would opt for the coleslaw side. Don’t leave without trying the beef patty! It’s the best we’ve ever had. Our party of 4 spent around $60 after tax and tip, which is reasonable in the Niagara touristy region.
Food was delicious! I had the veggie meal with rice and beans and a side of plantain. Shooks was very hospitable and welcoming, easy to talk to. Comfortable atmosphere. I would recommend anyone travelling in the Niagara Falls area to go and grab their food here.
