    The jerk catfish and the shrimp curry are both great but the green beans were amazing! Also the beautiful Iris is very professional, her customer service skills are defiantly worth mentioning.

    The best Carribean food on the East side of Chicago Specialties are Jerk Chicken soup, macaroni and cheese, curry shrip, jerk string beans and more! The owner Rick is the best and he caters parties

    If you ever find yourself south of the "Low End" then you'll find that this spot had the best Caribbean food on the South Side.
