The food was hot, well seasoned, and delicious. The customer service was 10/10; they were very attentive to us and very welcoming. The jerk sauce is really good as well. I’m a Jamaican food connoisseur; I know when it’s authentic and when it’s not, and this is the real deal. Definitely check them out. We were riding through from out of town and found them located in the international food market. I definitely wanted to take real time pictures because I noticed most of the reviewers pics were not up to par; nevertheless, I did not allow that to stop me from trying some good food. Also, make sure ya try their ginger lemonade. If I’m ever back in town, I will definitely stop here. I ordered the Brown Stew Chicken dinner, Jerk Chicken dinner, and Mac and cheese. Good value as well.

Okay y’all so I’ve been here to eat 4 times in the last two weeks and each and every time has been A1! I’ve been searching and looking for a good authentic Jamaican restaurant and babyyy this is it! I have the exact same meal each and every time jerk chicken rices and peas and cabbage topped with spicy jerk sauce (beware it’s spicy spicy )so I can’t tell you how the other dishes taste because I’m addicted to this one but I’m sure they are super good! Been wanting to try the Rasta punch but I think I been going too early lol I’ve been there at 11:36 am definitely a must try. Also note if you not use to Saragas market there is a smell from all the different types of foods they sell but don’t let it take away from the restaurant itself because it’s really good!

Good food and great people. We found this place and really enjoyed what we bought. We tried the jerk chicken and beef patties. Jerk chidekn was seasoned nicely but a bit stingy with the gravy. Patties were delicious and worth the wait.

We ordered the spicy Jamaican jerk chicken, rice & beans with potato salad. Portions were very good and potato salad was great to balance the yummy savory flavors from the jerk chicken. Only thing I’d like more is more heat and more sauce but nevertheless, still def. very yummy and satisfying. We will be coming back. Thank you.

The ox tail accompanied by beans and rice was absolutely excellent. Price was a little high for the portion size of ox tail, IMO. The flavor is so good! Can’t wait to come back!

I visited this restaurant with my boss, who is from Jamaica, with the goal of giving her an authentic Jamaican dining experience. Steph provided exceptional customer service, guiding us on what to order to ensure we had the best experience possible. The food and service were outstanding, and Steph is the reason we'll definitely return. She is awesome! Thank you for making our experience exceed all expectations. We can't wait to come back! .

I moved here from Florida and had a hard time finding good Haitian food. As someone who’s Haitian and used to Caribbean flavors, it wasn’t easy — but I found Mi Yaad, and it’s the closest thing to home. I love their food, especially the lemonade ginger drink. One thing that could be improved is their menu on Uber Eats — the DoorDash menu has way more options.
