They were out of oxtails; strike 1. Maybe it was because we ordered on a Sunday night, but that was the one thing I wanted. Plus if you only offer five dishes, running out of 20% of your menu isn’t cool.
The plantains were BAD; strike 2. Papery dry and devoid of flavor, they finish like a thick Manila folder.
The Stew Chicken was stewed so soft that you could practically bite through the bones. A warm, homey flavor, but the gravy had an incredibly off-putting gelatinous texture, likely due to the addition of too much thickener or the consequence of being left in the pot to congeal.
The Curry Goat was good enough but wouldn’t win any awards. And not nearly good enough to offset all the other issues. Very tender meat, curry on the salty side but that depends on your palate.
I was so excited about a Jamaican joint in Gardena as it’sa lot more accessible than Inglewood, but it seems the new kid on the block needs to iron out the kinks. I’d give them another chance if they ever find their footing, but I wouldn’t risk it anytime soon.
