Authentic Jamaican Cuisine, Made With Real Love
Farm-fresh herbs, from-scratch recipes, and Rosemarie's Kingston roots — served six days a week in Roselle and Vauxhall, NJ.
Oxtails, Jerk Chicken, and More
The oxtails alone are worth the drive. Add jerk chicken, curry goat, escovitch fish, and baked mac and cheese — all made from scratch, every day.

What our guests are saying
I had the privilege of enjoying a variety of tasty savory dishes at a catered event. The food was skillfully prepared and delicious. There were a variety of dishes to choose from: pasta and rice dishes, patties were perfectly done without being overly spicy. The owner, Rosemary, is a delight!
