A Jamaican kitchen plating oxtail, Curry Goat stew peas for the West Toronto diaspora.
The menu centers on slow-braised proteins and one-pot rice dishes rooted in home cooking rather than tourism-facing presentation. This is neighborhood cooking aimed at the community that grew up eating it, served in a straightforward dining format without fuss. The oxtail braise is the kitchen's anchor dish, meat fallen from the bone, richly seasoned with allspice and Scotch bonnet heat, paired with rice and peas cooked together in the traditional method.
Try the bbq fry chicken, curry chicken, jerk chicken, oxtail, escoveish fish.
