Just tried the Curry Chicken Large Platter with Cabbage and Rice & Peas. So freaking GOOD. The chicken fell off the bone, I was surprised at how good the Cabbage was because I'm not much of a Cabbage eater. But it sure had a lot of flavor and tasted fresh. I cant wait to try another thing off the menu <3
I am blown away at how good the Jerk Chicken was. I got the large platter with the sweet potatoes and mac & cheese sides. Everything tasted like it just came out of the oven! I am currently on a mission to go through this whole menu.
