Aretha's Kitchen

I would not recommend at all. This place could definitely do better. Customer is umm…an acquired taste. They definitely could use some customer service training. I got to the restaurant and no one was at the front, waited for 5min or so and then started asking if anyone is back there. The lady came out and said “someone will be with you”. The person that came out had a RBF and ask what I wanted and then walked away from me while talking to her to go talk to someone else, multitasking,…ok no. Then I gave my order (Medium oxtail and Ackee & Saltfish W rice n beans) and usually they ask what I wanted for sides. She didn’t. I got my order and came home and open dish and it had a small portion of oxtail (4pieces exactly & 1 was mostly bone), there was a Lot of cabbage and a tiny piece of Mac n cheese. Both came up to $29+. I was seriously disappointed in the price, their mannerism and the food, the food was salty.

I found this place by an accident while visiting the Cookies Dispensary next door. The smell of curry and jerk flavors hit me as soon as I got out of the car. My group ordered the fish soup, oxtail , and jerk chicken meals. All came packed to the brim with THREE whole sides, and tasted absolutely delicious!! I would highly recommend trying out their beef patties as well- they have an awesome variety of meat and veggie options. Do yourself a favor and go eat at Aretha’s Kitchen!

CRAZY GOOD FOOD, and HUGE portions at a super reasonable price, as close to home cooking as it gets! We ordered one large plate of goat curry with rice & peas, came with sauteed cabbage & veggies, fried plantains, and a helping of mac & cheese, and was more than enough for two hungry adults. The menu options change each day of the week, I've attached a pic for reference.
