| - Two months ago, a coworker said a new Jamaican restaurant opened down the road, and I have been a happy regular there ever since. The chef Mickel and waitress Grace are truly passionate about their craft and deliver an elegant, cozy dining experience in the middle of an industrial area. Well worth the drive.
Their jerked smoked ribs, brisket, and chicken wings are now weekly staples of my diet because the meat is moist and tender with a slightly blackened crunchy layer of yumminess on the outside and a unique, flavorful herbal spiciness that is not spicy hot. I no longer get my ribs, brisket, or wings from the big chain BBQ and wing places further up Losee Road. To add some heat to any of their dishes, they offer six types of Caribbean bottled sauces, of which my favorites are the "Exotic Sauce"(mild, green mango) and the orange habenaro sauce. For a quick lunch, I like the meat patties, but their specialty braised oxtail is my favorite. The oxtail is melt-in-your-mouth tender but be aware it is spicy hot and has a wonderfully distinct flavor different from the soul food and Hawaiian styles of oxtail I have had at other Vegas restaurants. For those who do not like hot food, try any of the curry chicken or Bammy Chicken dishes. On the sweeter side, try the homemade scones, cheesecake, or milkshakes. Important note: if you plan to dine in, please call Grace to make a reservation, as seating is limited.
