Testimonials

On 10/16/2026 Ruwaidah had this to say:
This is one of the number one spots in Blo-No. I’ve been here several times, and each experience was a treat. You can truly taste the hard work put into each dish. Everything served is incredibly flavorful with spices that elevate the food completely. If I had to recommend anything, the jerk chicken wings and curry chicken are my favorites. It’s hard to find such a hidden gem, so I’m happy to report that this will be on the dinner rotation. Amazing!

The curry chicken I got was quite good, but the green bean and yam sides stole the show. They were so so good. My friend got the shrimp Alfredo and he said it was like a 8/10 in his opinion. Great server
