On the weekends they have live music, so we made sure we went on a Saturday. You can hear the music playing before you even cross the street, I love that! The location is beautiful and they have both indoor and outdoor seating, we choose outdoor because we wanted to be close to the music and they had heat lamps. I ordered the BBQ Tofu with the side of Healing Greens and the red beans & rice. I also got the Curry Veggies with White Rice and Sautéed Okra. These plates arrived at our table piping hot and they smelled so delicious. The BBQ Tofu did not disappoint at all, I could eat this every single day and be completely happy. The Healing Greens made me realized that I have been cooking kale wrong my entire life. How they managed to make the kale absorb so much flavor while still being soft yet firm in texture must be a family secret. The Curry Veggies was super delicious, light curry flavor that just dances on your taste buds. The Sautéed Okra was cooked perfectly and mixed really well with the curry. My friends enjoyed their Jerk Chix entrees so much that I just had to include them in my review. Though I wasn’t able to eat the actual chicken, I tried the jerk sauce with rice and baby, that was spicy! Lol. One ordered dark meat while the other ordered white meat. We will definitely be back!

I had the oxtails and they were amazing! My friends enjoyed the jerk chicken and fried shrimp brunch. Can't wait to go back and try some other items.

I went on a Friday evening. It was crowded with sit down and take out orders. There was a 30 min wait for my food but I could tell that it was cooked to order. Very fresh and very good flavor!
