Caribbean Soul, Nashville Heart

Brothers Kamal and Rashean Kalokoh brought their Jamaican roots to North Nashville and built something that feels like home — bold, generous, and unmistakably real.

What our guests are saying

This spot never misses. The service and food are spectacular. I recommend the honey garlic chicken. There is no way any one can ever say they did not get enough food. One of my favorite places to eat.

Furlandus Jones

Authentic food - tastes great! Generous portions. Great service. Recommend the oxtail and goat curry (small) as the portions are quite large. If you like hot, ask for their pepper sauce (but be careful please as a little goes a long way!)

Indra Chapman

This place is truly special. The vibe is mellow/laid back/fun. The food is some of the best in the city. Best Ox Tails in the States and the BEST DAMN Mac N Cheese PERIOD!!! Do yourself and others a favor and eat here!

Jamie Jackson

Absolutely planning our next meal already! As you walk up to the restaurant, you can just smell the spices! Incredibly delicious flavors, loved every bite! We had the lamb, Cuban Rice, Puerto Rican Rice, Collard Greens, and drinks. We wanted to pick the plate!
