Quality sound system, cute floorboards with piratey treasure map themed writing and drawings. The menu looks like a lot of hard work to cook, so that is appreciated as I will never see such difficult dishes cooked in my house. Ambiance is great, food is great, service is great.

Delicious and authentic vegan options based on Jamaican cuisine; has separate vegan menu. If you go late in the day some things may run out. Have to wait a bit because they cook everything from fresh

The chicken was great, tinder and flavorful, but it would have been better if the fries hadn’t been burned. The vibe was quite dark and thrilling. The tables were sticky. I was the only customer at that time!.

Fantastic !! The chicken was tender, falling right off the bone. It was my first time trying Caribbean cuisine, and it absolutely exceeded expectations. A great spot in Inverness—full marks to the chef, 10/10!
