I was recently in South Charlotte and landed at this gem! The customer service was wonderful! I was so undecided on what to get, and the staff was patient and kind, and together we agreed on the Rasta pasta, and OMGGGG, was it so delicious! It took my taste buds on a journey they won’t forget. I enjoyed it so much. I will certainly be back to try the remainder of the menu!

I took my girlfriend to get some Jamaica, and she loved it from the moment we entered. The young man at the front desk was very nice and polite; the music was wonderful; the food was delicious; we enjoyed every minute.
