How we cook
Big island flavor, cooked fresh
for your date.
Every tray is cooked to order around the day and time you pick. Meats are marinated overnight, stews are given the hours they need, and sides come out of the kitchen right before pickup or delivery.
We keep the menu focused on what we do best, so you get jerk with real smoke, curry with real depth, and rice and peas cooked in coconut milk, never from a shortcut.
Tell us the headcount. We will handle the rest.

Jerk Chicken
MainsOur signature. Chicken marinated overnight in scotch bonnet, pimento, thyme, and scallion, then slow grilled until the edges char and the smoke settles into the meat.
Curry Goat
MainsTender goat simmered low and slow in island curry, garlic, ginger, and allspice until the sauce turns rich and golden. A true Sunday table classic.
Braised Oxtail
MainsOxtail braised with butter beans in a deep brown gravy. Slow cooked until the meat slides off the bone and the gravy coats every grain of rice.
Brown Stew Fish
MainsWhole snapper fried crisp, then folded into a peppery brown stew with onion, carrot, and sweet pepper. Bright, savory, and unmistakably island.
Jerk Pork
MainsPork shoulder rubbed with our jerk blend and cooked slowly over pimento wood smoke. Sweet, smoky, and finished with a glossy glaze.
Rice and Peas
SidesLong grain rice cooked in coconut milk with kidney peas, scallion, thyme, and a whole scotch bonnet for aroma. The plate is not complete without it.
