First time trying this restaurant. Sadly will not be going again. The curried goat was nice tasting but lack of goat. Vey small pieces and mostly bone with no meat. Rice and peas was ok.

I tried many jerk chickens but this man makes the best and he gives a big portion for what you pay. I already had Half and there’s plenty left for another person. Highly recommend.

Proper food and great atmosphere inside even though I take away every time. Hidden gem in Oxford and the flavour in the food is craaazy. Go support them and watch my review of it on Tik tok @gspotz

This gonna be in my top ranking hidden gem list for this year.
Tried their takeaway out of curiosity, got curry goat meal for me and the classic jerk chicken for my boyfriend. The kicking smoky flavor of chicken and incredible fall-off-bone lamb chunk has successfully won me as a forever customer!
Meal comes with gravy cooked rice and kidney bean, so well flavored I can eat them alone.
Watch out the portion, even a “medium” meal can feed the entire family😁

I use to go there all the time when I worked in the area. I went there and I only had the patty. I had a vegetarian, lamb and beef. I got these warm before I left. These didn't disappoint, they were flaky and filled with flavour.

Wouldn’t recommend this place. Went there to get food for the first time chose what I wanted and they didn’t have most stuff on the menu which is disappointing as there is not much choice and the guy was extremely rude no manners at all wouldn’t recommend

Jamaican Curried Goat was flavorful and had good spices to it. I ordered a medium size and also managed to see the jerk chicken being cooked fresh as well. Affordable prices, medium size could feed 2 as well. Thank you!
