| - I am a lover of jamaican food. Well, I love everything Jamaican, I can't help it. So I found my way to this lovely spot in the Kohl's plaza tucked away nicely in the far corner ( Please get some signage out front!).
The interior was nice and clean, it was very "new" looking but only had a score of 95....hmm. In all actuality, the food was THEE best tasting Jamaican food in Charlotte as far as I'm concerned. But when I tell you...these restauranteurs need to take a lesson on plating portions. I am sorry, I can't pay $9.00 for your offerings. One can get much more food in a value meal...Howard's pictures are exactly what you are going to get. You see the plate with the Oxtail on it? Well, you are gonna pay close to $12.00 for that. Rice, cheap! Cabbage, cheap! Plantains, cheap! Just doesn't seem right...
Most would say Jamaican dishes require more seasoning and preparation than other ethnic foods. Well, so does Indian... and for $12.00 I can eat all that want at ANY Indian buffet. Don't be afraid to feed the people. Do that and they will come back. There is another restaurant I have yelp'd in the past that has this down to science and on any given day I can sit there for an hour and watch 20-30 people come in and out... (((Do you hear me?))) 20-30!!! I may return in the future but certainly this will not be a go-to spot on my list. Until then, I will take my monies elswhere.
