    Came here on a Sunday night and the staff was extremely pleasant and patient. The staff assisted us with the order and was very friendly. We got the Peas n Rice with oxtail and Jerk Chicken with Rasta Pasta and the food was extremely tasty and seasoned just right. It was not too salty, not too greasy, and spice not so overpowering that you can't taste the basic ingredient of the dish. I love rice since I am Asian descent and I could eat their Peas n Rice all day. I just finished my meal 30 minutes ago and I lm already thinking about more. Please also try Buuru Cookies outside in the parking lot if you see them, their cookies are phenomenal. Grab some with De Islands for a complete meal.

    I love the fish. I order take out whiting fish for most of my occasion. Very delicious with onions. Love the cassava fries. The Jerk chicken and pumpkin rice is delicious.
