"Food is always good Curry Goat portions and taste great and fresh. Female workers are very respectful and polite! She even called to ask me if I'd want rice and peas because it's no more white rice . Order again and again"
"They're usually excellent with their orders. For some reason their Oxtail Beef tasted like jerk seasoning which is unusual AND on top of it I ordered a large and was literally given only tiny small oxtail with fat. No large sizes of oxtail and the value was nothing compared to the last time I ordered. Not pleased this time. I sure hope I don't have this issue in the future."

"Delicious. I got the jerk sauce on the side so I could savor the meat on its own and it did not disappoint. Smoky grill flavor. Sauce was sweet and spicy, like me. Rasta past was zesty and spicy but not too much. Enough to feel in the corners of your lips. Yams were very sweet and tender which balanced the heat from the jerk and rasta pasta. The pie was delicious but definitely didn't taste like the bow tie brothers the Nation. Overall, my palate was very pleased and satisfied and I can't wait to eat the rest for lunch tomorrow. Yummy!!!!"
"Oxtails here were pretty good. I would order again. The jerk chicken was Smokey but they forgot my jerk sauce. It was definitely good but more chicken for the price. Stewed pork wasn't the best. Mac and cheese reminded me of Popeyes which isn't bad. Cabbage was delicious and spicy. Rice and peas by the time I got it was very glued together, not the best. I paid extra for oxtail gravy on the rice and it was almost nothing there. Overall the veggies, Mac, jerk, and oxtails were pretty good and I'd order again."

"Oxtail Cheesesteak Sandwich Oxtail Patty when I tell you this was fire , it was so good and this was my first time ordering from this restaurant but I'm definitely ordering again because my order was so bomb on the first time trying it , the workers might get tired of seeing my face cause I'm a be in their place regularly lol ."
"Only like the boneless Jerk Chicken Boneless. It's spicy and savory and delicious. The portion size is great. It's the only thing I order from here. Oxtail patty deluxe was just ok. You can barely taste the meat, mostly bread. The dipping sauce was really good. I wish I could order that separately. I tend to avoid oxtail because it always overpriced and underwhelming. The grove grill is no exception."

"Ate it too fast to take pictures, but... the Oxtail fell off the bone just like it should, and the rice and peas were delicious. It was a massive portion of food, too. Well worth the price. The Macaroni & cheese wasn't creamy the way I prefer it, but it was cheesy and flavorful. All around -- very good, very filling."
"10/10 for the Rasta Pasta (Shrimp & Jerk Chicken) , and the Chicken Soup. Both were extremely flavorful, chicken was juicy, and proportions were amazing. Tried this place on a whim, and would order again!"

"Jerk Chicken (Large) is a good portion, fresh and tasty. Jerk seasoning is spicy and I appreciate that it's served in its own sauce. Although the rice is flavorful so it doesn't need sauce. One thing I really like is that they give several slices of plantain. A lot of places treat plantain as a garnish and give 2 slices max. I still order Fried Plantain as a side, bc it is a great price for the amount. Its very consistent, in terms of quality and portion. The only thing is sometimes packaging spills a little. Not enough to soak through the bag if it's handled with care, but it would be good if they wrapped the container in plastic. I've ordered multiple times now and would def order again. Highly recommend!"
"Jerk chicken was delicious. i don't know how authentic it is. The meat is tender, fall off the bone and moist. Rice and peas is seasoned and medium size was good portion. Plantains are good portion size for $4. All in all, I recommend and will come again"
