Jamaican restaurant, Hot pot restaurant ★4.0 (43)·$10–20

1081 Stuyvesant Ave., Irvington, NJ 07111, USA

4.0
I went to pick up a small order of oxtail, and I was shocked to be charged $28 for just three oxtails! That seemed outrageous! When I asked for extra oxtail and offered to pay for it, I was told it would cost an additional $18. Wow! As a result, I switched my order to curry chicken with rice and peas. Unfortunately, the rice was overcooked, and the chicken was poorly seasoned. Overall, I was very disappointed with both the food and the service. Is this restaurant under new management? The food used to be scrumptious. I don't know what happened. - Sakina Duncan
