This is a gem. Been going here for several years and find the menu and the chef and all who work there to be welcoming. Had a squash soup that was a meal in itself. Parking, by the way, is plentiful, easy and free. Enjoy.

Great food, we ordered the jerk chicken, the meat just fell off the bone and the chicken kababs which were also flavorful with great portions. Good cocktails and the service was nice and quick.

The food was fantastic. From the perfectly crunchy-yet-soft falafel to the incredible jerk chicken, all amazing and memorable. But the place was empty. It's small, but there were only 2 other tables occupied. With food this good, it should be packed! Even the waitress was uncomfortable with the emptiness. The food is too good. Service was totally acceptable. Hidden gem.

The fam and I were eager to try it. The place was empty but I would said it was a long weekend. The drinks were on pint. Service: mediocre at best. Food was ok. Ambience: I was told there is no music because the owner wasn’t there. Overall value did not match expectations. I would probably not come back soon.
