| - After reading up the Yelp reviews, my bf and I just had to check this place out.
Located in a quaint little strip plaza in Scarbs, with quite a few other options of cuisine to eat, this is definitely the hot spot to hit. Its a revolving door of diverse customers with an order up counter and limited seating. We arrived there around prime dinner time, so the place was busy and their jerk chicken shawarma was sadly sold out :(
Nevertheless, we placed our order of a curry goat entree and a jerk chicken entree. A veteran to Caribbean style cooking, my bf was skeptical how authentic the food would taste, but he (and I) were both pleasantly surprised. Cooked in a Jamaican style, both entrees came with rice and peas, fried plantains and a melody of vegetables (broccoili, cabbage and carrots).
Now lets break it down...flavourful, but not as spicy as I was expecting (make use of their hot sauce), portion size was good, both meats were cooked well -- especially the jerk chicken which was moist (and not dried out like most places), basmati rice and peas and plantains were tasty and complimented the dish well and veggies were pretty standard. I particularly would prefer better veggies, maybe some okra or peppers. Overall, I would recommend you swing by when you're craving a taste from the islands.
