| - This is the new flagship location of the popular Nicey's Take-Out, serving authentic Jamaican food for over 30 years. This location, however, adds a dine-in option, a patio, a drive-through pickup window, and maybe a liquor license in their future.
The decor is nice and colourful, with bamboo cladding on the front of the counters and faux-zinc around the lower walls of the dining room.
Yesterday was their soft opening so they still have a few things to work out (new staff, new POS, new menu items, bigger space, table clearing, etc.) but the food is as good as what we've come to expect from their original location. This menu is a lot bigger. There is currently no table service. Orders have to be picked up at the counter.
Popular dishes include jerk chicken, jerk pork, oxtail, curry goat, stew peas, rice and peas, patties, and more. They also have some seafood options and lighter fare. Most dishes are available in two sizes, depending on how hungry you are. I was quite happy with the curry goat and stewed chicken that I tried.
I see a lot of potential in this place. The patio is on the east side of the building so it's shielded from the late afternoon/evening sun. It seems like it would be a nice place to sit for a relaxing meal.
They're working their way towards a grand opening celebration in a few weeks but they're open for business now. I'll be back.
