Really cute place and the service was excellent. It has mostly a carribbean vibe but with a few fusions I think. Like one of us had an oxtail egg roll. I had the roasted chicken bowl and subbed brown rice. It also had pickled onions vegetables , not just carrots or broccoli but leafy greens, and an avocado type sauce. The food was delicious. I would definitely return. We went to the one in Harlem 🙌🏾 - Phoenyx Long
