“ This place’s food is as good as home cooking is. My wife and I dropped by High Wycombe to shop and I was looking at a decent place to eat. I chanced upon this restaurant and saw that it had glowing reviews so we decided to check this place out. The restaurant is just off the high street but not difficult to see. On entering, the whole place smelled good. And I also knew that it was going to be good and authentic because I could see that everyone in the kitchen was Jamaican! They have a huge offering of Jamaican food. We ordered the Junior Smoke feast good for two people. It came with jerk chicken, wings, pork ribs, coleslaw, and 2 sides (we chose rice and peas, and fried dumplings). All that for 25 only! It could easily have fed three people and it is great value for money. All deliciously cooked homecooked meals for great prices. The photos I took don’t do justice to the food as I only realised mid-meal that I didn’t take photos! If any, my only complaint is that the restaurant is small and can only seat four people. I guess this is more of a takeaway place. But that takes nothing away from the experience of eating here. If I had an excuse to go to High Wycombe, it would only be to go back and visit this restaurant. Definitely a must visit place if you appreciate, or want to experience, authentic Jamaican homecooking. ”
