Spicy Deliciousness

The dishes are really spicy in this place, but they are oh so delicious. The ambiance is very cool and the music is unique (could be a little louder). The servers were wonderful as well as the bar staff. This place has only been open a week and I have already been there twice. Some of my favorites include the jerk pork and the curry chicken. The Ja Rum punch is sweet but ridiculously strong (worth the $10 price tag). Try the Ja Bloody Mary (they add hot jerk sauce instead of tabasco) its very good. I think this place still has a few kinks, but I’m looking forward to revisiting soon.

Dishes I tried:

Even the mild sauce is pretty spicy, but the chicken is delicious. It’s served with rice & peas as well as plaintains for dessert. Yum!

Finally, Jamaican food nearby

Had lunch there, and then took out dinner for my family. It was excellent. The mild sauce was very hot, and as a seasoned jerk veteran (a couple of my good girlfriends are Jamaican, and I go to Jamaica with them from time to tome), I tasted the “hot” sauce. It was XXXstrong.But really tasty. My friend had jerk catfish, I had chicken and a beef pattie. I’ll be back.

Almost perfect. I like mine a little blackened by the grill.
