Tasty food, good service, and a friendly staff. A small selection of Caribbean treats and goods is also available on site. Dining area is basic, but immaculately clean.
The food and experience is unlike any other. First time here and I was greeted warmly. The food was excellent and the roti is made on the spot. Same for the doubles. If you are in the area and missing the islands, step in for a Taste of the Caribbean!!
Nice little caribbean spot. Fresh food. They have buffer for about $15 a person or you can do take out at $8/lb, which if you want a decent portion, it's better to dine-in.
We had been patronizing for years but were shocked with the recent price increases and the decrease in flavor and quality. Owners are nice and welcoming but can over do it at times. Especially when you are trying to enjoy your meal with your family. This used to be a hidden gem, but has lost its shine.
Had the buffet. Food was alright, but nothing to write home about. We also requested an ala carte item, but the restaurant staff said they didn't have the ingredients in stock at the time. Beverage selection could be a lot better, I think. There were a couple of almost empty pitchers of lemon and cucumber water that you could self-serve. The place is small and stuffy, kind of a hole in the wall establishment. Only had ceiling fans and a portable air blower off in the corner. The staff was cool, but if I did go back, it would probably be a to go order with jerk chicken, their best tasting item , in my opinion.
Very expensive for such a small potion of food. $30 for whats in the photo. Small potion of Oxtails and Cabbage. Very blain flavor. Meaning not flavor or any in the gravy. Do not purchase the snow one(very dry) and not soft ice. The people are nice, but nice doesn’t satisfy tastebud’s. Not worth the price. BEWARE: A-LOT OF SMALL PIECES OF BONE IN THE RICE and Beans.
My sister recommended this spot. I'm glad I took her up on it.... Let's just say FIRE! I was welcomed in, Mrs. Pamela (hopefully I spelled it right) was very patient and invited me to Karaoke Night in which I WILL be joining! Her husband made me this FIRE snow cone! I give this spot 1k stars! DEFINITELY GO CHECK THEM OUT!
Sunday March 5, 2023 and I came here with my mother, sister, and two nieces. (To-go plate for my daddy). I drove apx 12 miles (inside the loop Houston) to get here and they came from Crockett/Grapeland TX.
A few GREAT things:
1) the owners and staff were simply amazing people to be around. Very friendly, welcoming, and just good homey type people.
2) that pineapple juice and passion fruit juice was BUSSIN’ as the kids say.
3) easy to get to the place with good parking.
A few things that left something to be desired:
1) food was just “ok”. I wasn’t wowed by it.
2) no drink refills.
3) it’s kinda pricy. I ran up a $200+ bill for 6 people. (The Buffett was $34.00 alone.)
Final review:
Overall I liked it and would support the business because they are good people, but they will have to step up the food because there are a lot of places in Houston for them to compete with. The macaroni pie was just not giving what it needed to give.
