| - This is NOT authentic Caribbean food, I'm not entirely sure what this is to be honest. I'm not even Caribbean and I know this isn't what the food is supposed to look or taste like (my husband is Jamaican, in my defense, I've had my fair share of Caribbean cuisine).
Please, I would hate for someone who's never had Caribbean food to try this and think this is what it's supposed to be.
I ordered the red pea soup, gross, I think they use some kind of coconut milk base, which I don't mind, but there was NO flavor. The dumplings were way too soft. It was just a big no for me. I also got cod fish fritters, which was decent, except for the fact that I got a teaspoon amount of dipping sauce for 6 giant fritters.
My poor husband, he ordered the jerk chicken with rice & peas, coleslaw and oxtail gravy. As soon as he opened the container we both knew this was going to be a disaster. First off, the chicken had NO SPICE OR FLAVOR. it looked like it was just boiled chicken, thrown on the grill for a couple mins (maybe a dash of salt and pepper to taste, THAT'S IT). The oxtail gravy was just gross. It had this tan, sandy color to it. Oxtail gravy is dark. It was gelatin like, it was awful.
My husband said, and I quote "I want to just throw this across the room in anger". He reminded me to write this review to save people from impending disappointment.
Maybe it was an off day? I don't know. But I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever eat here.
