"One of my coworkers suggested this restaurant to me because I was craving some Jamaican food. We placed the order online and picked it up because the delivery fees are ridiculous. So the restaurant is in a small plaza with a decent sized parking lot. I ordered the large oxtail plate and a jerk chicken patty (since I've never tried this before). The oxtail was so deliciou! Well-seasoned and fall-off-the-bone. The chefs here understood the assignment! We will definitely be back once a week to try more menu items."

"The owner is a sweetheart! This is new Jamaican spot here in Leimert, opening just a few months ago in June. The portions are perfect for me typically two meals and the prices are great! I often order 2x a week it's that delicious! Today I tried the curry shrimp! Plentiful large shrimp perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection! My typical order is a curry goat or the curry goat jerk chicken combo plate. The goat is always tender and plentiful and the jerk chicken has the right amount of spice. My daughter loves the oxtails and refuses to try anything else.
If you love Jamaican food with the taste and love the way it is cooked on the rock stop by Wah Gwaan you will not be disappointed !"
