Oxtails are amazing. Cabbage and veggies with curry were amazing and the jerk chicken was amazing. the Mac and cheese wasn't baked the seasoning was very unique. It was a good Mac and cheese I just love baked. This place has a lot of room in it. I came 30 min before closing. It's a shame it isn't open later. I'll definitely be back when I slide through this area again. Great food!!

First time trying Jamaican food and I definitely will be back when that curry goat is on the menu! Not a really big place but the flavor from the food is gigantic as it comes! Those oxtails just slid right off the bone, and I wanted to try all the sides so the waitress Destiny hooked me up a veggie plate on the side. I was surrounded by family and we all enjoyed the food here. The owner and cook both helped bring out the orders. I recommend calling ahead if you have a big crowd dining in, and there was a steady flow of people coming in for to-go plates. This right here is a true hidden gem!

Love love love the oxtails, rice and peas, and the plantains from this spot..there is nothing like it in Lafayette! The eating area is pretty spacious, dark usually, with music ongoing, service is decent for pick up orders. I have also tried their jerk chicken, their mac and cheese (they call it something else) and both were great...

There are not many options for Caribbean and Jamaican food in Lafayette. The jerk shop still gives excellent quality food despite the lack of competition. Every time I have gone there, they have been constantly good. The jerk sauce has a great mixture sweet and flavorful without being dominated by spice. You can even buy their sauce at local vendors. We always keep some in the house. This was my first time trying there, Beef Patty. The Patty was flaky and buttery at the same time, and the beef had good flavor.
